This was very offensive, but I ignored it because I don't want to turn this into a flame war.

This is a very bad practice to get into the habit of. Just because they don't respond doesnt mean they didnt get your message. They didnt respond usually for a reason and you sending them a 'reminder' is usually seen by them as pestering them or annoying them.
Sometimes the one(s) I'm trying to get in contact with may not have received my original message(s) because I sent it to the wrong person(s), I made a typo in the email address, or if it ended up becoming flagged as spam (which most people obviously delete without even looking at). The first two situations are just simple mistakes on my part, and the last one is something of which I have no control. I know that they usually aren't available and repeat messaging may get bothersome. Though if they do finally respond after an excessively long period of time, we almost always come to an understanding.

PLEASE do NOT message them yourself. We have a very professional relationship with these voice actors and we do NOT need you or anyone else messaging them for information on our behalf!
Why can't I send them messages? Voice actors (or anybody else for that matter) don't do social networking for no reason. Many fans (myself included) have been staying in touch with them for a while now, and as long as there isn't any rudeness/spam/arguing, none of them have a problem. Moreover, I wouldn't contact them just to help out BTVA. A dedicated fan has to be nice and show support.

And just because a group of people connect via any method of social networking doesn't mean they can't maintain a professional relationship. If I really do need to get information that only they would have, I always explain the whole thing before I ask what I need to know. If none of us have done this at all, then there would be information that would have never been added to BTVA, such as Jim Walker's picture (NCZ knows about that one).

The main goal is completion; things like this really shouldn't be a big deal. Please do understand what I'm trying to say.

As OptimusSolo said, please don't message him. Taliesin will read and respond to the message sooner or later so there's no need to send it again. Patience is a virtue.

For the record, I'm 100% sure that I sent it to the right person so there's no need to worry about the message not being received.

Did you double-check if you made a typo in the email address or if you sent it to someone else who just happens to share the same name (the latter is especially a more common issue)? If not, then we can wait a bit longer, but I'd definitely get back to him sooner or later if there's still no response.

On a side note, someone mentioned in a thread in one of Capcom Unity's forums (forgot where it was) that Kate Higgins is Jill Valentine whereas Kari Wahlgren is the announcer, and now that I listen to those two, there probably is a mix-up.

It is definitely the right person. Name was spelled correctly, all the info on the page matched up.

I don't think there was a mixup with those two. From the VC clip, Jill doesn't sound like Kate to me and I remember that the announcer sounded just like Kate.

I know it can't be Patricia Ja Lee since she's not in the credits, but Jill doesn't sound like Kari either.

Listening to the other clips on her page (Celty from Durarara in particular), I'm pretty sure that is Kari.

Kari Wahlgren had recently confirmed on Facebook that she was indeed the voice of Jill Valentine in U/MvC3.

So, any word yet about Nemesis' voice actor? If Taliesin hasn't responded yet, he most likely just doesn't know himself or forgot about it. At this point in time, I think it's best that one of us could try contacting someone working at Capcom.
