Im with you on that one mate. Im also from uk and have noticed this problem since the show started, normaly when daryl talks. Ive lost count of the times that ive had to rewind and adjust the volume.

 

Yep, me three. In Oz they play a new episode and then replay the sheet out of it so I usually put the volume way up on a replay so I can hear the dialogue that I've missed. They need new sound people it seems. When you're going for that more naturalistic style of acting they need to have the microphones properly placed.

 

I have never had any trouble understanding what they're saying. Weird .

 

I've never had issues understanding the dialogue

 

HEHE its those damned American accents, umm and that Brit playing one ...great show, enjoy the next ep!

 

Hmm... I can hear and understand them clearly.

This is the first post I've seen about this. Perhaps it's a problem with the UK airing version of it? Because it was fine when I watched the live-stream last week.

 

Never had any problem with it.

 

Nah your on your own there man.

 

Rick mumbling?

No way.

 

How many people just stuck their finger in their ear?:zombies_lol:

 

As someone who is 'hearing-challenged' (chemo knocked out a huge part of my hearing years ago), I've always found scenes with Carl frustrating. He tends to run his words together and slur them a bit; hence, I have a very hard time following what he's saying. I don't know if mumbling is the problem - I do tend to catch Andy Lincoln's lines most of the time - but whenever Chandler Riggs is onscreen, I have difficulty hearing what he says. Love his character; I just don't know what he's saying half the time. :Grin:

I even bought a soundbar for my tv to enhance the dialog (voice enhancement is one of the features) but it doesn't seem to be helping much.

Oh, and yes, Daryl does tend to mumble sometimes too...but I can forgive Norman Reedus for that. :zombies_lol:

(Damn. Do I have to admit I'm getting old?)

 

Rick "whispers" all his dialogue and it is very irritating to me at times, but sometimes I can't hear him. I think he does it because it's not his "real" voice, he is actually British and his regular speaking voice is a heavy British accent. So to get his Southern accent, I'm sure he works with a voice coach and he mumbles all his dialogue. I like the actor, but I don't like the whispering.

 

I have no problems understanding Andrew Lincoln's lines at all.

AL explains in this clip how he doesn't feel he's done his job right unless he loses his voice, which maybe what you're referring too. He says it's a local (Georgia) thing he's tried to capture, because the air there is so hot and dry in the summertime.

That must be your UK airing then, because I don't have this problem--not on the Dutch Fox and not during livestream..

 

Weird, I searched up about mumbling actors a few weeks ago and it was mainly brits complaining about it haha. I do find it annoying myself. Sort of an acting trend.

 

:shining: putting ones finger in ones ear will never be the same...again!

 

What I find interesting is Andy Lincoln's voice; when he's speaking in his regular British accent he uses a totally different tone than the one he uses when he's doing his southern drawl. His pitch is lower when he's *Americanizing*.
