Some fans enjoyed Yun Jin’s singing, while others reacted negatively to how she sang “Oh, Maestro” in a high-pitched voice (including a popular Genshin streamer, who later had to make an apology video). These aspects of Chinese opera were front and center during the recent Genshin Impact voice performances.
Ours is the most famous one in China, and it’s listed as a UNESCO List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The outfits and makeup are extremely exaggerated, and the dance movements involve a lot of pauses. I’m broadly generalizing here, but performers generally sing it in a very high-pitched voice. The other thing we’re known for is the Peking opera, which is the most popular regional variant of Chinese opera. I’m from a little-known city called Beijing, which most Americans associate with government repression and overreach.
The reaction from the Genshin community was mixed, but the moment also became an opportunity for people to experience an underappreciated aspect of Chinese culture they’d likely never seen before. This included Yun Jin, the young leader of a Chinese opera company. On December 26, the voice performances for Genshin Impact’s latest playable characters were shown for the first time.
