She had great tone, conveyed enthusiasm with every line, maintained a consistent accent (natural or otherwise), and emphasized her words well.  I would have preferred a slightly more laid back accent like the VA if Arumi of Abenobashi but that's my preference.

I came to the conclusion a while ago that most vgChartz members wouldn't know good voice acting if it bit them in the arse.

Look, I know country accents. Many around me do, and I was born in Texas. It's a bad country accent.

I would also add that while enthusiasm was there, it sounded forced and disingenuous. Some of blame falls on the dialogue rather than the actress, but I can't call any acting good unless it sounds genuine and natural.

My grandmother has a pretty thick country accent, and it doesn't sound much like that. Her voice sounded more of a parody of country people rather than geniune voice.

An exaggerated accent doesn't infer bad voice acting.  It's simply an exaggerated accent. 

Theater performers often use them to accentuate characters and roles.  That doesn't make them bad actors, it's simply a tool of the trade.

Bad voice acting is frequently messing up emphasis, failure to convey the emotion attached to the scene with poor delivery, and unclear speech.  These are things you typically see in inexperienced voice actors and the woman in that video was most certainly not inexperienced.

I hope you understand that I was agreeing with you, and disagreeing with Words. I can't claim an intimate familiarity with Southern accents, but it screamed 'fake' to me all the same. I was just adding that her enthusiasm sounded as fake as her accent.

I know you were agreeing with me. I was just expounding on my point.

Enthusiasm is often given credibility by context. 

You're not going to hear truly natural sounding enthusiasm from someone promoting a video game in a trailer because the context doesn't contribute to it.
