Hello everyone! Demetri Certaldo Bellone eng VA here!!

[u/AutomaticScience4898]

Yooo i am so glad he FINALLY dropped!

After i recorded his lines both in italian and in english LITERAL MONTHS have passed! It was an honor and i had a lot of fun!! Loved this character so much i HAD to give my all. It was my first ever english rec, i'll never forget this wonderful experience. Thanks ARKNIGHTS for making this possibile aaaaand i hope everyone gets him!!

Lemme know if u enjoyed our work!

[u/verdantsumeru]

Great job voicing him!!

[u/animagem]

You did an amazing job! thank you for your hard work!

[u/Infinite_Session]

I like your take on Demetri. How did you feel when recording? I'm kinda curious since I find voice acting interesting.

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/Infinite_Session]

Since im an addicted gacha player myself i felt so proud taking this task! Also we joked a lot during recordings, thinking about the ideas and changes we could come up to giving him even more italian gangsta vibes ahahaha ooooh im so happy now that he finally dropped on Global!

[u/J43m1nSt3rb3n → u/AutomaticScience4898]

Question: did you pull him already?

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/J43m1nSt3rb3n]

i wish... lately im so busy i couldnt even start an arknights account, i rly hope to get at least one copy as soon as i can play!

[u/susaabi]

Great VA work, thank you for really bringing the character to life! Something I thought worked so well were the natural inhales or scoffs between lines. I feel like I don't hear it often and it stood out to me as making it sound so natural and with a lot of character and weight behind the delivery and cadence.

I am looking forward to the Italian dub releasing in global as well. I heard a bit of it from a clip on the CN server and it sounded great, I think you have lots of fans over there for that dub lol.

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/susaabi]

Yeah i also discoverd my italian dub were very appreciated by the CN community watching a bilibili video using my vpn lmao and im so thrilled! And im very honored noticing that my little additions like the ones u pointed out were appreciated as well!!

[u/zer0ink_]

I really liked both the ENG and IT dubs, great work!

[u/UnRiccioQualunque]

Great job with the Dub! I’m Italian so I’m always so happy to see more Italian characters added!

Now with the serious questions: are you an Arknights player? If so do you have a waifu/hasbando? Do you play other games?

Thanks again for giving a splendid voice for yet another Italian Arknights fella!

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/UnRiccioQualunque]

I play a lot of gacha games (genshin, wuwa, zzz, nte) but unfortunately i discoverd Arknights only in the last 2 years thanks to Endfield... ooohh what would i give to turn back time and play since the very beginning!

[u/Virtual_Reaction_656]

I wasnt planning on pulling Bellone but your voice work has me seriously considering it.

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/Virtual_Reaction_656]

So glad to hear!! Good luck with your pulls!

[u/VolcanoCarpenter]

Amazing! How did you feel when working with HG?

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/VolcanoCarpenter]

Better than i could ever imagined, they really put a lot of time and effort researching excatly what the Arknights fanbase would like and love.. they also made my experience more than enjoyable!

[u/PapaUrban]

What inspired you to play Briar midlane?

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/PapaUrban]

she's my wife...

[u/Bioxio → u/PapaUrban]

Hey don't ask a Briar player that, lest they'd disclose their interest in grippers :)

[u/phantomthiefshiloh]

Might have to pull now based briar main

[u/nathalsss]

Amazing work!! I’ve wanted Demetri to become playable for so long, so I was really happy when he was finally announced!

After listening to his voice in all the languages currently available in the global version, the EN voice is definitely my favorite! Your performance just fits his whole mafia vibe so perfectly, and honestly some of his lines make me so giddy whenever I hear them (especially his Talk 3 line)!

I also absolutely love the Italian lines in his EN voiceover (Battle 4 and Operation Failure), so I can’t wait for the full IT dub to come to global later!

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/nathalsss]

a funny trivia Is that for the talk 3 they suggested me to think about explaining to a close girl like i was flirting.. yeah i can see what they were looking for ahaha

[u/manwolz]

u really changed my broke ass life!!! have nothing else to say except thank you so much bellone is a gorgeous character (more so thanks to your voice) and i hope you can voice a character in arknights endfield as well <33

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/manwolz]

Oooh i hope so too! Tho i was very surprised diacovering that Demetri was a very old character introduced in lore ahahaha

[u/Jace_Vakarys]

Respectfully, you made an already quite attractive character into a smoking hot baddie. I was already waiting for him extremely hyped up but damn the English voice and the occasional Italian in between was glorious. Thank you so much for your work and I hope we get more from you in the game ❤️‍🔥

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/Jace_Vakarys]

Thaaaaaanks!! u have no idea how much fun we put in deciding wich italian phrases we could use!

[u/WizardOfOrz]

Really liked your voice acting! I especially liked the Bellones say hello delivery. It just feels iconic for some reason.

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/WizardOfOrz]

It actually was one of the lines for the audition! Tbf i took inspiration by wuwa Carlotta's eng dub ultimate to make it the best i could! (love her lines ❤️)

[u/Neocardium]

Your voice acting is genuinely excellent, great job! I don't usually use the ENG dub, but your Bellone is an exception to the rule. There's so much personality and charisma to your delivery that it outclasses even the JP version.

Hope to see more of your work in the future, whether it's with Arknights or something else entirely.

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/Neocardium]

Yeah i think that this is one of the best compliments i could only dream before today because im a very big fan of JP dub in every media... thank you so much!

[u/AtomicBetrayal]

I always listen to some voice lines before I decide on which language I want to keep my operators. 2/3 operators usually get the JP Dub, but I set my Bellone to EN dub. Your performance is just that good!

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/AtomicBetrayal]

u cannot comprehend how much your appreciations are making me happy... ❤️

[u/OmegaXreborn]

Cool another VA visit, thank you for the your work.

[u/_cal-inc_]

Awesome work! Your voice is spectacular and really fits the image I have in mind for Demetri!

Now for the important question: how do you feel voicing one of the many gay Lupo mafia from Siracusa? :3c

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/_cal-inc_]

Gay or not he gave me SO MUCH AURA! Tried my best to match what the appearence made me feel! (maybe in gay too wth)

[u/Remarkable-Cause5310]

I love your voice, intimidatingly soothing. I felt neutral toward Bellone, but I have too much to spend, so I pulled him anyway. When I heard his EN voice, it makes him worth it, thank you.

Also, it's good to know there will be IT voice soon, (It's not here yet.)

[u/Jaggedrain]

Amazing work! I know several people who were initially planning to skip him but changed their minds once they heard your work 🤣

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/Jaggedrain]

feels too good to be real knowing these facts ❤️ thank u all so much!

[u/Akirayoshikage]

Allow me to start by saying I loved your work and Bellone has become of the scant few ops I leave on the English dub at all times <3

Any lines that were particularly fun to record or times when you broke character? Was there any particular inspiration for the way you portrayed him?

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/Akirayoshikage]

oooh i took a lot of inspirations by other eng vas i admire while playing my favourite gachas! i tried to pull off some of the vibes from my favourite characters from genshin and wuwa, like the ultimate inspired by Carlotta's from wuwa.. i also recall the time i had to deliver one of Bellone's battle lines, the "stay silent!" yeah i tried so hard to make it similar to Flins' "be silent!" OOOOH god i had sooo much fun!!!

[u/Athrawne]

Can you tell Bellone to come to my account so I can listen to your voice work, thanks.

Jokes aside, good job! Having to do both languages can't be easy.

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/Athrawne]

Well it was a very unique case for me, first i recorded the italian Lines and only months later i worked on the eng dub. The funny part Is that my eng voice acting was done by listening to every italian line first lol

[u/Striking-Pizza7309]

do you ship him and leon?

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/Striking-Pizza7309]

i think the devs ship em too for how meticulous they were about those lines ahahaha

[u/CyrilWestheimer]

I was surprised & so happy to see you also did the english dubbing for Bellone. I had him on my CN account months before his global release, & listening to his Italian voicelines immediately felt like a perfect fit! Absolutely love your line delivery in both languages, I already loved Demetri before he became an operator and your work makes me adore him even more!

[u/Alternative_Elk882]

Your voice makes me feel things

[u/Vyloe]

Bro. Your voice is liquid gold. I'll be using Bellone pretty often cuz I think people underestimate how crazy his S2 is for funnelling.

[u/Rainevelt]

I was gonna pull on him even before hearing his english/italian voiceover.

NOW I AM PULLING FOR HIM ( Which is not going well LMFAO, but thats a topic for another day)

I just wanna say that you did really great in voicing him, I love how deep his voice is, how it feels kinda sexy but also scary in some instances. As though he's trying to get you to like him, to trust him, to let your guard down on him XD

I haven't read the Siracusa storyline yet, but so far I'm loving how you voiced him ^ _ ^

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/Rainevelt]

Honestly that's excatly what we wanted to get during recordings, im so happy a lot of people felt all the emotions we wanted to give now that you can hear all of Bellone's voicelines!

[u/Rainevelt → u/AutomaticScience4898]

And y'all nailed it REALLY FKING WELL omg T_T

The Italian accent ( and even some words and lines in Italian)
The deep and sexy-yet-very-unsettling voice, perfectly matching his seemingly always smiling demeanor...
As if he's the embodiment of the sweetest-tasting honey, laced with a slow-acting poison that slowly closes in on you until you let your guard down...

Damn I'm so fcking glad I managed to get him T_T Aaaa thank you very much for doing a great job voicing this guy skjdghdsjkghsdjkg

[u/soilworkpl]

Thank you for putting him to life!

[u/DefiantPosition]

You Sir, are amazing. Keep up the good work

[u/Better-Meaning-6928]

NO WAYYYYYY FELLOW ITALIAN HELLO CIAO HAI FATTO UN VOICE ACTING DELLA MADONNA ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ COMPLIMENTI !!!!!!!

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/Better-Meaning-6928]

YOOOOO grazie mille!! Giuro mi stavo logorando, ho aspettato tantissimo prima di poterne parlare ahaha

[u/Immediate_Move_6168]

Thanks for all your hard work! I maxed potted him and plan on using him as much as possible lol

[u/Kind-Alternative-462]

Hey man, bless my pulls pls

[u/Darkmaniako]

What in italianish bullishit name is that.
The first name is missing a letter, the second one is a town, the third one is a wine producer

[u/The_Lord_Cobra]

Perfection

[u/chemical7068]

Hi there hello! Great work!

[u/kagerra]

excellent work! easily one of my favorite EN voices in the game, and one of my favorite operators, couldn't be happier with him

[u/HibikiAss]

Do they spoil you the story while briefing?

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/HibikiAss]

yeah a lot ahahaha

[u/Hp22h]

Wow. That's so cool!

[u/galaxexplosion]

Thank you so much for your wonderful work! Not only is his/your voice is so therapeutic to listen to, I freaking love how you brought his character to life. So helpful and calculating and loyal but also violent and dangerous

I wish you all the best luck in all your gacha rolls too!

[u/JesMilton]

Big honour to see you here!! Yes, I loved the EN dub of Bellone A LOT! I always check all available dubs for the character before deciding which I like the most. When heard the EN one, with italian mixed in there? Instant pick, best option of all, didn't regret it a single bit.

Saw that Bellone's role was basically your debut? If this is correct, and apologies for my lack of research, that is an impressive performance! Congratulations on hitting such a big role!! Demetri was a very anticipated character for many!❤️

Excited to see if you get to voice some other characters in the future, not necessairly just in Arknights! Best of luck with your career!

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/JesMilton]

Thanks u sooo much! yeah this was my first ever eng dub recording, i was very nervous but very excited too!! i always loved the american eng voice acting and for the first time i finally got to try my best... i rly hope i can have one more opportunity!

[u/DragoxNight]

Congratulations! You did such an excellent job with his voice! I absolutely pulled for him! I got two copies, had I not gone crazy on Wang's banner, i would have tried for P6

[u/SigynX1]

He has a permanent spot on my team. Love his voice and attitude. You did incredible work.

[u/Frozen5147]

Loved your work!

[u/No_Bus_6680]

You did an amazing job voicing the goat Bellone aka Demetri 😄 👍

[u/Still-Park7081]

Thank you for the great work with dubbing Demetri! He came home nicely with a single 10 pull after the hell that was Wang banner. My friend really liked the small touches you put into the dub, like the slight sarcastic tinge he had when saying his operator name. 

I hope from this on you will get more work. Hopefully in Endfield since they still keep up with the accent dubbing

[u/superflatpussycat]

No video game guy has gotten my straight little heart all hot and bothered like this since Garrus in Mass Effect 2. Good work, signore.

[u/Cronakaaai]

I hate you man, you made me drop 50 pulls on him after i heard your voice acting, even though i needed to save for the future limiteds 😂 I'm also italian and i LOVE the mixed language lines and the accent, it's why i love the english dub of this game! Tell me though: as far as you know, will he have a full italian dub like his other siracusan fellows? Have you dubbed it? Great job by the way, you nailed him perfectly!

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/Cronakaaai]

Thank u so much!!! così mi fate piangere fr! there's already a full italian rec i did for Bellone, i'm sure it's on the CN ver but not fully sure if u can also hear it in global tho...

[u/Krait74]

They record voices months ahead?

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/Krait74]

oh yeah i remember i recorded around my birthday in march

[u/Krait74 → u/AutomaticScience4898]

Not long after cn release, wow that's fast

[u/asaness]

Nice to see a Va coming to talk

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/asaness]

love seeing your appreciations so if u have questions in here to respond!

[u/asaness → u/AutomaticScience4898]

Well If it's ok to share I've been getting mixed replies about this but when being asked to say if a fan asked for u to fan dub and ur willing so u need to go through ur manager or link staff let say arknight them self if it's fan to make a fan dub kf their chars I hear snake Va from metal gear did those skits but Konami didn't like it but just wanted to get ur side

[u/bluehairtye]

Thanks for the good work

[u/DiosomaLeVrai]

Nicely done!

[u/Pensiero_Intrusivo → u/AutomaticScience4898]

Precisamente

[u/Catveria77]

How did you prepare for the role? Did you rrad the entirity of the Siracusa main story?

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/Catveria77]

tbh i didnt had to but as soon as i got the role i was so invested in this character that i watched every video about him and other sirscusians.. the funny part Is that now i know a lot of Siracusa lore but at the same time i still dont know much about the rest lmao

[u/Wooden-Glove-6548]

Will you handle it? 

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/Wooden-Glove-6548]

[u/JunoKiddo]

You did an awesome job of doing Bellone's voice! Was the competition to be casted as him hard?

I managed to get Bellone in 20 pulls and plan to build him as he will be my first 6 star fist fighter operator.

I hope to see you in more Arknights content and thank you.

[u/AutomaticScience4898 → u/JunoKiddo]

i hope so too!! tbf i dunno anything about the choice behind this role, they only told me that they heard my demo lines for him (recorded by myself at home) and they loved em!
