Not really. It makes the characters seem less believable, which in turn impacts the world and thus the story.
Yeah, I know it's also science fiction, but you still need to sell me on the characters being relatable and genuine to some degree.

It's hard (For me) to get invested in something with such a glaring issue.

Plus it's 2022, there are tools in most major game engines these days that allow for facial animations to sync with voices, things don't change if we don't vote with our wallets.

BTW Pem have you looked at the demo and if so any opinion ?

Yeah, on PS5.
The story is what has always given me a degree of "intrigue" with this franchise and that is on full show here.

Visually it's a PS4 level title, some great music and sound bytes.

It honestly could be an incredible franchise if a few niggling issues got resolved rather than carried on from title to title.
