oooh but to be pinned down against the panel control by alastor during that one scene in stayed gone. maybe you're one of his contracted souls. maybe you're one of the poor souls seeking redemption. maybe you're one of his friends, if the radio demon has such a thing. maybe you're playing spy for vox. doesn't matter - you're here during his showdown with vox.

his façade drops. you take a step back, until your hip hits the control panels. there's nowhere to run. not with him looming over you. his ever-present smile stretches impossibly wide, fangs bared, hot breath fanning your skin. saliva trickles down his gaping maw. your breath hitches when it hits the tender skin of your neck, lips parting in a silent gasp.

"i'm gonna make you wish that i'd stayed gone."

his body contorts and stretches, limbs elongating until he encases you, studies you - pupils like radio dials emerging from a pool of black. he's close. too close. oh, and he's pissed.

you've never seen something as terribly beautiful as him.

his claws dig in your chin, craning up your neck just short of humanely possible until you meet his stare. he sings, still, static digging into your very bones until it steals your breath away, until it's only you and the radio demon watching you like you're his last meal. oh, and he's snarling his verse, voice dripping with venom as he goes, as you drown into him.

there's a distorted chuckle in his voice, the richness of his laughter merging with that of his audience's.

"oh, this will be fun."

Voice actors are NOT the same as actors.

It takes a specific kind of skill-set and training to be able to warp and meld the voice. It takes a certain kind of talent and dedication to hone that talent into the ability to meld the voice and invoke emotion with one's voice alone. Actors are used to using their voice secondarily to their body language and their facial expressions. It's all mirrored back on camera. They do have nuance. But it's a different kind of nuance and a different kind of training to produce that nuance.

Voice actors might get their likeness transposed on their character's design, and maybe their mannerisms might seep into the character's animation. But when it's all said and done: their presence is in their voice. They are bringing a character to life, showing that emotion in their voice, trying to keep a specific accent, drawl, pitch, tone in that voice and keep it consistent for their recording sessions.

The voice actor is like a classically trained musician who can play first chair in a competitive, world-renown orchestra. The actor (who fills the voice actor's role) is like a moot who played violin in beginner and intermediate high school orchestra and thinks they can get into Juilliard with that 2-4 years of experience.

This doesn't mean that the HS orchestra moot can't play. They can even be really good at it. Maybe they won competitions and sat first chair. But they are not in the same league as the person who's been training their whole lives and lives and breathes to hone their craft using the instrument and all of the training they've ever acquired to perfect it. They are not meant for the same roles. They are not in the same caliber. You do not hire the HS equivalent when you want to play complex music in a competitive orchestra.

Actors are not the same as voice actors.

And furthermore, actors - especially big name actors - taking the roles of animated characters for big budget films or TV pilots makes no sense anyways when - at least in the case of TV pilots - there's not a point to hiring a big budget actors anyways. That money could be used elsewhere (like paying your animators), and the talent that is brought onto the screen for X character could then be hired on to voice said character no recasting required.

I wouldn't say voice acting as a profession is in danger exactly, but it's certainly being disrespected and overlooked for celebrity clout, and this has ALWAYS been an issue. Shoot, even Robin Williams knew that much - which is why he tried so hard not to be used as a marketing chess piece for Aladdin and got royally pissed off when it happened anyways. People shouldn't go to any movie (but especially not animated films) because "oh famous actor is in it". People should go because it's a good movie and the voice acting is good.

People who honest to god think that voice actors are replaceable because "oh well anyone can voice act" or "I like xyz celebrity so naturally it'll be good" ... Honestly I just wish you'd reassess your priorities because you're missing the point and are part of the problem.

Voice Actors ≠ Actors.

konig hc’s for plus sized reader:

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

a/n: I don’t usually write headcannons for specific body-types cuz I want all people to enjoy what I write BUT since Konigs VA is a massive jerk and projects onto his character in the worst ways, I’ve decided to write this

-this man loves, no ADORES using your lap and tighs as a pillow, his large hands wrapping around your waist and cuddling up softly

-would, should, and does spend hours complementing you in the mirror. Every last detail catches his eyes and makes him like a big love-sick puppy

-“more places to kiss” is his all time favorite cheesy response when you tell him that you feel self-conscious about your weight

-would spend days just picking you up and cuddling you everywhere he went if he could cuz he has missions he sadly can’t

-most lovesick, heart shattering, sad puppy dog eyes whenever you say something bad about yourself. He couldn’t let his schatz think of themselves that way!!

-the most side eye he has ever given to someone was one of his teammates when they commented on someone else’s weight. Especially if it was yours

-my man’s would PUNCH his VA if he ever met him. Square in the face with a knee-kick square in the junk

-can easily pick you up over his shoulder CUZ HES FRICKING HUGE. Don’t deny that he could. >:/

everyone i realized that listening to VAS is like those men going to the strip club

[fortunelowtier]

People seemed to enjoy the last post I did where I really hastily voiced over Starlo so I did it again with some more funnies this time

(thanks to @furythemadman and @marshber for giving me permission to use their art!)

(once again I am not a VA so these are a tad scuffed)

KINDA A PART TWO TO THE COMIC IN MY LAST POST!!! (here it is! it’s also got their references and more info about this au!!)

I think it’d be funny if these two are constantly trying to run into Yuma again to ask about. everything (how the hell he got into Kanai Ward and etc.) but it’s almost like a scooby doo chase where he’s just out of reach every time LMFAO

also I feel like shuichi would unintentionally take notice of Kiibo and Yuma sounding similar just for the sillies (same English VA, but I do have a lore reason. that I won’t spill. SPOILIES)

[caelos-legacy]

so then! it was brought to my attention @supershadicx250 did actually dub the comic!! this is really good, check this out!!

[starrbitez]

I like the new va’s way more than roiland,, like beyond the fact that he’s a freak I think the voices just scratch my brain harder,,, controversial opinion tho I guess

[lesvianism]

“clouis > violentine” believers when you tell them that clementine’s reactions are different between violet and louis because they’re completely different people and therefore there are completely different dynamics between them rather than her being unhappy with violet
