The History of Subtitling and Accessibility Services

The History of Subtitling and Accessibility Services The history of subtitling is deeply intertwined with the evolution of cinema itself. It all began with early silent films, which relied on intertitles to convey dialogue and narrative details. These intertitles were text cards inserted between scenes, and the precursors to modern subtitles. Filmmakers soon recognized the potential of these…

[clownrecess]

I really struggle with typing subtitles for my youtube videos as a result of my disabilities, but that isnt an excuse to be inaccessible. I still type subtitles for them, it just takes a bit longer for them to be published, but I go as quick as I can. Typing long things like video transcripts make my hands begin to cramp really badly, and also I just have executive dysfunction. Both of these things make it difficult, but I STILL DO IT.

The reason I'm making this post is to say that if I, as a disabled teenager, can still try my absolute hardest to meet peoples accessibility needs despite it being difficult for me, you as a multimillion dollar corporation most definitely can. You dont want to spend money for us, we are an afterthought. And it's just, honestly, unacceptable.

We need a more accessible world. And no, I'm not talking about JUST RAMPS. Just ramps do not make something fully accessible.

Yeah, ramps do make something more accessible and we absolutely need them, but in order for something to be absolutely fully accessible it needs:

Ramps

Elevators

Braille

Closed captioning

Sign interpreters

Frequently placed electronic charging stations

Wide pathways/doorways

Quiet rooms (preferably sensory rooms)

WiFi

First aid

Staff who are trained in disability PROPERLY

Available wheelchairs

Available ear defenders

Warnings for things that contain strobe lights, loud noises, etc.

And SO MUCH MORE. I get that that's a lot, but you are a massive corporation. You can afford to be accessible, and we deserve to be able to acsess the world. We should not be an afterthought.

hi hiiii i've been wanting to get into the mecha genre and the like, but im not exactly sure what to start with/where to start? I know theres not technically rules, but would you have any reccomendations for media to begin with? no worries if not, and thank you !! ^.^

I’m honored you’d go to me!

In terms of what to start with, it depends heavily on your personal tastes, so I’ll be including a range of series. Most of these are real robot, because super robot series can be very jarring for people who’ve never seen mecha before. I personally love super robot stuff, but it can be strange if you aren’t expecting a mech to pull out a giant top to hit pretentious bull-horned space princes with.

This is going under a cut for length!

If you’re looking for tragedy and horror, I have to suggest Space Runaway Ideon. While Tomino is most famous for his work on the Gundam franchise, Ideon is absolutely phenomenal. It often borders on Lovecraftian horror, and is famous for gruesome deaths and unrelenting tragedy. The gist of it is that a group of space colonists find a starship and a combining robot, and wind up in conflict with an alien civilization. As the war stretches on and the tragedies mount, it becomes clear that their wonder weapon, the Ideon, has a mind of its own.

Speaking of Gundam, the main timeline isn’t too unapproachable, and the standalone universes are all excellent starting points. I’m going to be giving a few of these, since Gundam series are ridiculously easy to access for English speakers— no having to dig through fan translations to find whatever has the least agonizing subtitle font here. Looking at you, Brave series.

The newest Gundam, the Witch from Mercury, is a wonderful starting point if you’ve not seen it already! It’s only twenty-five episodes, and while it pulls heavily from franchise history, it can be enjoyed without having seen a single prior Gundam.

It takes place in a future where humanity is split between Earth and space, with Earth being polluted and exploited by warmongering corporations, and space effectively being ruled by said megacorporations who are given the impunity to execute people. The first season primarily takes place in a school for the wealthy, which is effectively a training ground for future corporate executives, and a means to advertise their tech via mech duels. Everything in the school is dependent on one’s class, with even the dorms dependent on who sponsors your attendance.

The plot kicks off when our main character accidentally wins the hand of the daughter of the president of the largest conglomerate, as a political drama unfolds in the background.

It’s all on YouTube, and there’s a short story you should read between the prologue and the first episode, Cradle Planet. It’s on their official website, both in English and Japanese.

The original Mobile Suit Gundam holds up excellently, though the animation is rather clunky and dated. It’s a war story heavily pulling from WWII, following a child soldier who’s effectively forcibly conscripted when his home is attacked, and he hops in the main mech to defend civilians. It focuses on the horrors of war, and particularly soldiers’ PTSD. I’d personally suggest watching the three compilation movies and then circling back to the series proper if you liked what you saw— the compilation films cut out a lot of the fluff and make it a much more streamlined experience, but they also leave out a lot of lovely episodes and character moments.

Gundam the Origin, both the manga and the anime, are also wonderful beginners’ series. The manga is a retelling of the original series made by one of its creators, and expands upon it, giving neglected characters and storylines a lot more attention. The anime is an adaptation of a flashback arc, detailing the events leading up to the war in the original series, albeit with some timeline differences. It’s in my opinion the best place to start with Universal Century— while there are continuity differences, it’s a great primer for what Universal Centiry is at its core, a character-driven political drama and war story.

Obligatory recommendation for my favorite Gundam show, Gundam 0080. It’s a small-scale look at the tail end of a war from the perspective of a civilian child caught up in the mess when his home is used as a development center for the military. It’s a short little OVA, only six episodes, and doesn’t require much prior context for the rest of the franchise at all. It’s a very personal story focusing on a small cast of characters — a civilian child, a rookie soldier, and a test pilot — and their experiences with the war.

It’s best enjoyed with a burger.

If you’re looking for gritty military sci-fi, Armored Trooper VOTOMs is an excellent place to start. In this series, the mechs are walking coffins, with the outright referred to as “bottoms” because they’re considered the lowest of the low. It takes place during an uneasy truce between two warring nations, focusing on a man betrayed by his own side, hunted by both his former faction (and quite a few others) as he tries to discover the truth as to the mission that led to him being branded a traitor.

It is on the harder end of the sci-fi spectrum, so if you’re here for the ridiculous robots, it might not be to your liking.

If you’re curious about fantasy and shoujo-flavored mecha, Vision of Escaflowne is a phenomenal series. It’s an isekai, following a girl accidentally transported to another world by a brash prince on the eve of the destruction of his kingdom. From there on out it’s a mix of romance and political drama, with our heroes trying to thwart the machinations of an evil empire.

The mechs here are designed after knights, with utterly gorgeous designs and some really interesting setup mechanically-speaking— they’re magitek, and rather low-tech at that, with pilots seeing out of holes in the mech. Your enjoyment of the series will heavily depend on your fondness for shoujo romance and fantasy tropes, and especially love triangles. The movie adaptation has some fascinating piloting systems that skew close to body horror. While this one has manga, they’re generally not worth checking out.

If you’re looking for a mix of light-hearted fun and more serious action, the Patlabor show and OVA are essentially buddy-cop series taking place in a futuristic Tokyo, focusing on a department created to deal with mecha-related crimes. Both the OVA and series proper are a solid blend of fun, light-hearted character moments and tenser action. Our protagonist loves her mech like he’s a person, and it’s adorable. However, this one heavily depends on whether you like screwball police comedies.

The Patlabor movies, on the other hand, are densely political, examining the place of such technology in the world, and raises questions about the ethics of law enforcement and its use of violence to combat crime and terrorism, and the implications of using advanced military weaponry. They’re directed by Mamoru Oshii of Ghost in the Shell fame. These ones are pretty standalone, but if you’d like prior context, they take place in the same timeline as the OVA.

If you’re interested in mecha video games, I’m having a blast with Zone of the Enders: 2nd Runner! It’s got wonderful gameplay, and some really interesting mech designs. They’re themed after ancient Egyptian mythology, and the shape language of most of the mechs is very curvy and round, something you don’t really see often, giving it a very unique aesthetic. I haven’t finished it yet, however, so this is based only off the first chunk of story.

After a terrorist attack drags him into a conflict he thought he’d abandoned long ago, our protagonist is shot and left for dead. In a desperate attempt to save him, his body is connected to his mech as a form of life support— if he leaves it, or the mech shuts down, he dies. Seeing as the mech is what his enemies want, this leaves him no choice but to stay involved. The gameplay is quite energetic, the boss battles are fun, and just about every move and animation are designed to make you feel as cool as possible. It is a Hideo Kojima game, so keep that in mind going in.

While it’s a classic and often recommended, don’t watch Evangelion as your first mecha. It pulls very heavily from Tomino’s body of work, and I’d only suggest watching it after you’ve seen a show or two of his— especially Gundam or Ideon. Hell, watch an Ultraman or two first— that’s where the Christian imagery comes from. You’ll miss out on a lot if you go into it without prior context.

There’s a lot of mecha out there, but these are what I consider to be the most beginner-friendly. When it comes to banner franchises like Getter, Mazinger, or Brave— you can honestly pick any one of the shows to start with, as there’s no overarching continuity. Do some reading and pick whatever interests you! If you’ve got an hour or two to burn, there’s a retrospective on Getter Robo and its influence on the genre that’s worth watching even if you don’t plan to check out any Getter yourself.

I hope you find something you enjoy!

So here's some really fun trivia for y’all!

For my "Idea of the American South" graduate school class, we just had to read William Faulkner's novel Absalom, Absalom! this week, since Faulkner is highly regarded by historians for his nuanced portrayal about the darker side & systemic injustices of the Deep South. But this was actually not my first exposure to Faulkner, since one of his other novels, Go Down, Moses, was actually directly referenced in The Adamantium Men arc of Jason Aaron's Wolverine run. In the arc, the evil Roxxon corporation managed to duplicate the Weapon X procedure which gave Logan his adamantium claws to a bunch of private mercenary henchman in order to act as bodyguards for the company's illegal activities overseas. And they all have lightsaber claws!

One of the titular Adamantium Men was apparently a huge Faulkner fan and was even reading a first edition copy of Go Down, Moses before being told by a Roxxon higher-up to assassinate Wolverine. But when said-mercenary realizes that he's about to lose the fight, he actually asks Logan to spoil the ending of the novel for him before he dies, and Logan honors his request!

I was told that the copy of Go Down, Moses displayed in the comic is actually the original first-edition copy from the guest-lecturer for said-class since it was the only version to ever feature the subtitle “And Other Stories” on the front cover.

And it honestly makes sense that Aaron would reference Faulkner's work since he's similarly written stories which are highly critical of the American South such as his Image Comic series Southern Bastards. One issue of that series even had a variant cover featuring glorious sight of a dog ripping a Confederate flag to shreds!

So beautiful! I would love to train my dog Zoe to do the same thing to one of those AWFUL flags! Plus, the royalties for that variant cover were even donated to the survivors & families of the Charleston mass-shooting in 2015.

From Wolverine: Weapon X #4 by Jason Aaron & Ron Garney.

Younger Phoenix from before their implant :)

Before they got the telekinesis implant, they were a darker blue and their preferred weapon was their fists or whatever object(s) happened to be nearby. Their quick thinking and creative use of their environment during training and combat earned them the opportunity to receive the implant and become part of the Enhanced Operatives Division.

I can’t really say much about them yet because lots of it is still fuzzy in the details, but they were more of a stickler for doing things logically and had more anxiety around being good enough for the Agency’s standards. They’ve since loosened up and gained more confidence in themselves as they’ve worked with Handler and found increasingly chaotic ways of successfully thwarting Zoraxis and completing their missions.

Also the way that character colors work for my style/designs is that it’s an artistic choice to color the mouths/eyebrows rather than Phoenix’s eyes and tongue literally going from blue to cyan (although the idea that the implant affects eye color is cool ngl). A character’s color is a reflection of their personality, characteristics, and general feel that I get from them, with the exception of if a character already has a canonical color (like John Juniper and Roxana Prism). Examples: Handler is golden yellow because he seems warm and he likes/liked scotch and marigolds, as well as his subtitle color in IEYTD 1 being yellow (albeit a different shade). Zor is red and gold because Zoraxis is also red and gold so it just makes sense that they would have the same colors as their corporation (also the cliché that red=evil, that whole thing). Phoenix is cyan because of their powers and it fits their personality more than red or any other color would. I don’t really have a reason for why Fabricator would be indigo other than her polaroid pic’s lighting looks dark blue/indigo and that it just makes sense to me. Solaris would be orange because of her love for lasers and because her name makes me think of a glowing ember orange. The more of an impact a character has on the story, the brighter/more saturated their color is (Ex: Daniel Sans would have a muted yellow-green and Anna Ulanova would have a muted wine red because they both don’t appear much but aren’t unimportant).

That’s all I have for now, and I hope it’s not too much to have this much info alongside an art post

[beautiful-02-08-18]

Romans 8:6 (KJV)

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Might as well post the art I’ve been making before the end of the month. For these fan art, I wanted to train myself to draw in fluid motions and to use accurate colors since I don’t like using the eyedropper tool. Any criticism is accepted, especially on my wonderful attempt for digital painting.

Came back to the fandom of the Korean cartoon called: Running Man Animation. As far as I can tell, this show only premiered in Cartoon Network Asia but its still pretty popular since it is supposed to be based on the real-life variety show: Running Man. Although, it kinda feels like a dead fandom on life support, and that life support is the Running Man: Revengers movie by Locus Animation scheduled to release soon.

But still, I like the show. I made a whole essay on Facebook about how these characters fulfilled their specific roles but I don’t think I’ll post it here (for now) since that’s not really my content. Either way, the characters names starting from the top is: Akong, Manus, and Charming Gold. These three were the main villains of their respective season and parts, as their show have two seasons but separated into two parts.

The last one is supposed to be an art meme of the Grimace shake and as usual Instagram cropped it so I had to duplicate it because I was pretty proud of this one. I tried to create a creepy mood since I also wanted to practice on that area. Did good for an amateur’s first try. The character is named Pala and he also came from the show.

You can watch most of Season 1 episodes on their English Youtube channel, except for Episode 49 and Season 2 at the time of writing this. You need a Korean VPN to watch those and it only has Korean subtitles. Luckily, Season 1 doesn’t really need Episode 49 to finish it, as said episode was more of an exposition for Season 2. There’s also some videos and clips one can find on Youtube.

Ten War Heroes

PRIVATE MURRAY got back to his home town when he was 20 years old. He met up with his family at the train stations and there were many teary faces and this hard macho handshake from his father and they took him home and they had prepared lots of food for him. Murray was in his military regalia at the station and they took photos of him with the green felt coat and were all super proud. On the first night back at home in his little bedroom where he’d been a boy he had a nightmare that he was back in the fields whilst they were being shelled. And in the morning he noticed there was a little blood on his pillow. Just a little amount. Not much. He turned the pillow over so his mother wouldn’t notice.

PRIVATE FLOYD lived in one of the major cities and he found it hard to reengage with the noise of urbanity; for the place he stayed in was right next to an overhead traintrack and whenever the trains made their bellows he would flinch like crazy, when that had never happened before. And Floyd used to read a lot before the war but these days he just couldn’t concentrate on the text in front of him. The words would spill away and his concentration would bend off elsewhere and he would lose the plot and not be able to get the story. He was embarrassed about his flinching. That other people noticed too. And he didn’t tell anybody about the reading thing …

CORPORAL CHAMBERS was from the other side of the continent. His dog had died whilst he was serving abroad and he went to the dog’s grave and he thought ‘Why should I be sad about a dog who died of natural causes when I killed several men whilst I was fighting.” And they even got a new dog as a replacement, the same breed; but this felt tacky and mean on the new canine who couldn’t replace the character of the old one.

SERGEANT PHILLIPS was injured during live conflict during a battle in the hills. His left ear was permanently damaged, almost to the point of deafness. And this lack of hearing afflicted him for the rest of the life. When he got back home many civilians found him annoying, even though he was a war hero and all that. Because he could hardly hear what they were saying a lot of the time and he had to ask you to repeat yourself. His wife found it so irritating that it strained their relationship and they got a divorce and he found another wife who he had another kid with. And when he got into his sixties and seventies his other ear began to lose audio as well and so he retired to simply zoning out when other people were speaking. He was fine with watching the television at super volume, with the subtitles on.

PRIVATE WEBB was diagnosed with schizophrenia shortly after his return because he kept speaking to himself in long monologues out loud and he kept hearing things that weren’t there. His family sent him to the doctor, and the doctor to a psychiatrist, and they had him Sectioned and he wound up in a ward for most of the rest of his life, which was short for a man because he perished at 35. [The reason for death was that the medication had caused long term damage to his kidneys. But the mental institution hid these facts away and the truth was never illuminated.]

MAJOR HAMM tried to get into politics, whence back in the motherland. He ran for mayor of his town. And was embarrassed by a landslide victory-for-the-other-guy after campaigning for seven months around the populace that he thought loved him enough to vote for him. The defeat hurt him internally and he cancelled out the loss with his victories on the battlefields. Then he went on holidays with his wife and drank lots of wine and continued to grow fat and they took loads of photos and whenever his lady asked him if he was unhappy he would say no.

PRIVATE CURTIS had killed eleven people during his bout with the military and he was proud of this statistic and he told lots of his friends about it and he got a job in a factory back home and nothing particularly bad ever happened to him.

COLONEL JAMES had a holiday home that was owned by his parents before him, somewhere on the airy space of a great ocean. He was a widely decorated man. And on this island inside the holiday home he tried to remember his accolades with affection. What he regretted was that he had never quite been a bigger figure. And he read lots of history books in his spare time, or, well, all the time he had now considering that he had nothing but free days. My name won’t be in many history books he often thought to himself, as he read. And historians won’t be writing about me. I won’t be remembered in 200 hundred years, as many of these men are. But there weren’t many men who got to the rank of Colonel in the most murderous military in the world ... and so he used this notion to beat down the other one, whenever he got blue.

PRIVATE MAY committed suicide via gunshot wound five months after he got home. From repeated memories of what he had seen on the battlefields. His family were embarrassed that he had killed himself. So they told the neighbours that he had died from injuries that had lived on from his fighting abroad. The neighbours accepted the verdict and many of them came to the funeral; but many of them knew the family were lying because people had heard the gunshot, and then the police come to the house on a Wednesday morning.

LIEUTENANT BRUCE suffered a deep shame over what he had done during the war and even with simple things like going to the supermarket were hard because he would look at these other people and know that they were unlikely to be killers as well, and there was nothing to lift up his shamefulness and he figured that he deserved all the self hatred that now plagued him. He had gone into the war wanting to be a hero. This was what being a hero made him think like nowadays.

1. The Importance of Educational Video Content

Before we dive into how to distribute video content, it’s crucial to understand why educational videos have gained such traction. Educational videos offer a visual and auditory learning experience, making it easier for people to grasp difficult concepts. They are versatile and can be used for online courses, corporate training, webinars, school curriculums, and personal development. In fact, many educational institutions and businesses are now investing heavily in creating video content because it enhances retention rates, simplifies complex subjects, and can be accessed on-demand, allowing learners to study at their own pace.

2. Popular Platforms for Educational Video Distribution

To ensure your educational videos reach a wide audience, it’s important to choose the right platforms. Here are some of the best platforms to distribute your educational video content:

YouTube

YouTube is a giant when it comes to video content distribution, boasting over 2 billion logged-in monthly users. It’s a popular platform for educational content because it allows users to easily search for specific topics. To optimize your educational videos on YouTube:

Use Keywords Effectively: Include relevant keywords in your title, description, and tags to help your videos show up in search results.

Create Playlists: Organize your educational videos into playlists to keep viewers engaged and make it easy for them to follow a series.

Add Captions and Subtitles: Ensure accessibility by adding captions and subtitles, which also help improve search engine rankings.

Udemy & Skillshare

If your educational videos are part of a structured course, platforms like Udemy and Skillshare are excellent choices. These platforms are designed specifically for online learning, and they have a built-in audience of students looking to expand their skills.

Develop Comprehensive Courses: Break down your educational content into modules or sections, making it easier for learners to follow along.

Engage with Students: Respond to questions and feedback, as this helps build a community around your course.

Use Visual Aids and Quizzes: Enhance the learning experience by including visual aids, quizzes, and additional resources.

LinkedIn Learning

LinkedIn Learning is another powerful platform for educational content, particularly for professional development. If your videos focus on business skills, technology, or creative software, LinkedIn Learning can help you reach professionals looking to advance their careers.

Create Bite-Sized Lessons: Short, focused lessons tend to perform better on LinkedIn Learning. Aim for concise, informative videos.

Leverage LinkedIn’s Network: Promote your course to your LinkedIn connections, groups, and followers for increased visibility.

Educational Websites & Blogs

Apart from video-sharing platforms, educational videos can also be distributed on websites, blogs, and forums dedicated to learning and self-improvement. This is a great way to reach niche audiences who are specifically interested in your subject matter.

Embed Videos in Blog Posts: Write blog posts that complement your video content and embed the videos within the posts. This provides additional context and enhances the overall learning experience.

Use SEO to Boost Visibility: Optimize the blog post with keywords related to the video topic so that it ranks well on search engines.

3. How to Distribute Video Content via Social Media for Education

Social media platforms offer a unique opportunity to distribute educational video content, allowing you to engage with your audience directly and encourage interactions. Here’s how to effectively distribute educational videos across some popular social media platforms:

Facebook

Host Live Sessions: Facebook Live is an excellent tool for conducting live educational sessions, webinars, and Q&A sessions. It allows real-time interaction, making the learning experience more engaging.

Create a Facebook Group: Build a community around your educational niche by starting a group where you can share videos, articles, and additional learning resources.

Boost Videos with Ads: If you want to reach a larger audience, consider using Facebook ads to promote your educational videos. You can target specific demographics, interests, and behaviors.

Instagram

Use Instagram Reels for Quick Tips: Short educational clips that provide valuable tips or quick lessons can do well on Instagram Reels. Make sure they are engaging, informative, and easy to digest.

Share IGTV for Longer Tutorials: For more detailed educational content, use IGTV. You can create longer-form videos and series that dive deep into a topic.

Use Stories to Promote Educational Content: Highlight new videos or upcoming live sessions in your Instagram Stories. Utilize features like polls, questions, and quizzes to make them interactive.

LinkedIn

Share Case Studies and Tutorials: Educational videos that showcase case studies, industry insights, and tutorials perform well on LinkedIn. It’s an effective way to engage with a professional audience.

Leverage LinkedIn Articles: Write articles to accompany your educational videos and post them on LinkedIn. This can help increase reach and engagement.

Encourage Engagement with Hashtags: Use relevant hashtags to increase the discoverability of your educational content on LinkedIn.

4. Best Practices for Engaging Educational Video Content

Creating engaging educational videos is essential if you want to keep your audience interested and coming back for more. Here are some tips:

Keep It Simple and Clear: Avoid using jargon or overly complicated language. The goal is to make learning easy and enjoyable.

Incorporate Visual Elements: Use graphics, animations, and visual aids to illustrate your points. Visuals help in making complex concepts more understandable.

Add Interactive Elements: Quizzes, assessments, and call-to-action buttons encourage viewers to interact with the content, making the learning experience more engaging.

End with a Clear Call to Action: Whether it’s encouraging viewers to subscribe, share, or take an online course, always end your educational videos with a clear call to action.

5. Tools to Enhance Educational Video Distribution

Knowing how to distribute video content effectively also involves using the right tools. Here are some recommended tools:

Canva & Visme: Use these tools to create visuals, infographics, and thumbnails for your educational videos.

TubeBuddy & VidIQ: These tools can help you optimize your educational videos for YouTube by suggesting keywords, tracking performance, and analyzing trends.

Hootsuite & Buffer: Schedule and share your videos across multiple social media platforms to maintain a consistent presence.

6. Measuring Success: Analytics and Feedback

To improve your educational video distribution strategy, it’s essential to monitor performance and gather feedback. Here’s how:

James Earl Jones’s Voice Was Something More

For the Actor, Speaking was Synonymous with Character.

— By Lauren Michele Jackson | September 13, 2024

James Earl Jones. Photograph By Andy Gotts/Camera Press/Redux

In A Culture Inclined to get its fill of drama from the screen over the stage, especially if the screen offerings are being furnished by the House of Mouse, one wants to trumpet that James Earl Jones, who died on Monday, at the age of ninety-three, was an actor greater than the reach of his instantly placeable voice. The corrective feels especially pressing as knee-jerk eulogies of Jones pour in from eighties and nineties kids, whose sticky-fingered nostalgia already dominates so much of our collective memory. Their first, formative encounter with Jones’s craft likely came courtesy of the acousmatic, in his vocal performances as Darth Vader (revived as recently as 2022, in A.I. form, in the Disney+ miniseries “Obi-Wan Kenobi”) and Mufasa (in both the 1994 and in several subsequent iterations of Disney’s “The Lion King”). These roles are celebrated along with other embodied Jones movie portrayals that are nonetheless distinguished by their sonority and bearing: the mesmerism of Terence Mann in “Field of Dreams,” the comic humorlessness of “Coming to America” ’s King Jaffe Joffer (first onscreen more than three decades ago, and then laid to rest in a recent sequel).

The worry is that our remembrance will whittle down Jones’s vast career—spanning sixty years and encompassing more than two hundred turns in the theatre, on film, and on television—to, as with Plutarch’s nightingale picked clean, vox et praeterea nihil: a voice and nothing more. In a study of that name, the philosopher Mladen Dolar admits that “the voice appears to be the most familiar thing.” At the same time, to experience any voice is to witness the strange physics of that which emanates beyond the body “yet remains corporeal,” biddable neither to words nor to flesh. This is a paradox best finessed by those, like Jones, who consider their true residence the theatre, where bodies must project by any means necessary. And what a voice! What facility with his instrument! Jones was unshy about its vital role in his work. No mere accident of the larynx, a voice was, as he understood it, tantamount to presence, the well-trained conduit to the emotional realities of dramatic performance.

As is an actor’s prerogative, Jones began his life story with an implausible memory. His 1993 memoir, “James Earl Jones: Voices and Silences,” written with Penelope Nivan, recalls “the warmth of the light” filling his grandmother’s home after his birth, on January 17, 1931, in Arkabutla Township, Mississippi. His people were Southern farmers, moody, contemplative, industrious, colored. He was raised by his maternal grandparents after his parents, Ruth and Robert Earl Jones, ill-suited to each other and to child rearing, left to pursue other lives—a desertion that Jones would, in a journal entry, relate to his experiences performing “Oedipus Rex.” The definitive tragedy of the play was not Oedipus’ patricide, Jones argued, “but that when he was a helpless infant, the father said, ‘Get rid of him,’ and the mother said, ‘Okay.’ ” Both parents would float in and out of his life. Robert was himself on the way to becoming an accomplished actor, and when Jones was twenty-one, the father introduced the son he hadn’t seen since infancy to a world awaiting him in New York’s cultural scene, especially to its theatre.

The memoir’s symmetrical subtitle, “Voices and Silences,” announces a motif he traces throughout his life and lifework. Jones was raised amid the “din” of country life, including family members prone to gossip and tall tales—“I grew up with the spoken word,” he writes. However, when the family moved North for a new start and better schools in Michigan, when Jones was five years old, he began stuttering and soon retreated into silence; he describes himself as “virtually mute” from the age of six. This crisis in language became existential: “I was robbing myself of any presence. I was denying myself identity.” Then, in high school, he found himself steered, by an English teacher, toward the great stewards of Anglophone poetics and prose: Shakespeare, Longfellow, Poe, Emerson. Afterward, Jones “could not get enough of speaking, debating, orating,” and, above all, “acting.” (Nor was it immaterial that, on the other side of puberty, he “could now speak in a deep, strong voice” that others “seemed to like.”) Jones likens his metamorphosis to that of Gwen Verdon, who was thrust into dance classes while struggling with rickets as a child. “The weak muscle can become the dominant muscle, either out of obsession with the weakness or genuine endeavor to correct,” he observes, adding, “the weak muscle can define a life and a profession.”

Jones enrolled at the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor, in 1949, to pursue a career in medicine, and soon switched to studying drama, though at the time he considered this merely an enjoyable way station until his R.O.T.C. unit was called into Korea. He learned of the armistice in the green room during a summer season of community theatre. Instead of being deployed, he spent nearly two years with a cold-weather training unit in Colorado. Soon afterward, Jones moved to Greenwich Village to study at American Theatre Wing. There he met the acting coach Nora Dunfee, a former student of the linguist after whom “Pygmalion” ’s Professor Higgins was modelled, whose speech drills solidified for Jones the tie between diction and character. “Because of my muteness, I approached language in a different way from most actors,” Jones explains. As his training progressed, he “came to believe that what is valid about a character is not his intellect, but the sounds he makes.” That interpretation set Jones apart from students of the de-rigueur Method. Lee Strasberg would later tell Jones that he was among the rare actors better left “on their own paths.”

His professional opportunities, even as they accumulated, could scarcely keep up with his “rapacious” desire for roles. He rehearsed for a production of “Henry V” while in another play, Lionel Abel’s “The Pretender,” that was still running, then shortly afterward landed the major part of Deodatus Village alongside Cicely Tyson and Louis Gossett, Jr., in an Off Broadway, all-Black staging of “The Blacks.” It was a racially contentious production from which Jones took periodic breaks to do small television jobs and, naturally, more Shakespeare; he even turned down better-paid work, such as the Oscar-nominated drama “One Potato, Two Potato” (which co-starred his father), to work with Joe Papp, the founder of Shakespeare in the Park. In 1963, Papp offered Jones the role of Othello, a performance that the theatre critic Tom Prideaux, in Life, praised as “unjustly neglected” in favor of a showier Othello turn across the Pond, by Sir Laurence Olivier.

After Othello came another “elemental man,” as Jones called them, in “The Great White Hope.” The protagonist was based on the real-life heavyweight-champion boxer Jack Johnson, who winningly flouted the color line, in bed and in the ring. The play, by Howard Sackler, débuted on Broadway in 1968 and explored the disharmony of a man who needs words to undermine the racial symbolism of his body. The conflict in the story is cannily relevant to Jones’s own amative history and uneasy philosophy of race. He viewed Black men as America’s exemplary tragic heroes, à la Hamlet or Willy Loman, and yet was allergic to the ways in which race pride would compel others to speak on his behalf. Jones may have got “in Othello’s skin” and garnered a reputation as color struck—“I will concede that I have had a way of falling in love with my Desdemonas,” he admits in the memoir—but he was not one to give himself over to any representative image. Jones recalled a discussion with “Jimmy” Baldwin, who asked, “What do you see when you wake up in the morning? Do you see a black person or do you see a person?” Jones answered, “I see me.”

“The Great White Hope” presented its own special opportunity for Jones to deliver a performance whose muscularity exceeded his physical form. The author and activist Toni Cade Bambara wrote at the time that Jones “diverts us from some of the flabby features of the text,” and added, “There is always some telepathic, unnameable, supra-human something or other that is brooding, defiant, cunning, gentle, primordial—there is an ambience as well as a person that strikes us.” The role won Jones his first Tony, by which time there were already plans to adapt the play for the screen, but Jones was unhappy with the resulting movie, directed by Martin Ritt and released in 1970, feeling that it “eliminated every poetic aspect that the stage play had conjured,” reducing mythic characters “to mere social entities.” Did fault lie with the director, or the screenplay, or in the limitations of adaptation itself? “The lesson may simply be that it is almost impossible to transmute one form into another—a novel into a film, a stage drama into a motion picture. Maybe!”

Maybe! But actors make the worst critics and, thankfully, we needn’t always take their word for it. Generations separated by space and time from the theatrical version of “Great White Hope” will never know what they’re missing when they put on the film, if they can find it. Whatever absence is counteracted by presence—Jones as Jack, entirely too comfortable in his skin, his voice augmenting a lean frame that is, anyway, often excluded by frequent closeups. Here, his mouth is made mythic. Early in the film, ahead of a consequential match, a crowd of fans, young and old, gather around Jack, having prayed for a win “for us.” There is no money on the line but a more amorphous bet—the fate of a race. “My, my,” Jack responds. His baritone sounds destined for the pulpit, but his lecture on pride comes as a surprise: “Country boy, if you ain’t there already, all the boxing and all the nigger-praying in the world ain’t gonna get you there.” His timbre is as much a betrayal as his taste for the carnal press of white and caramel skin. There will be no Negro spirituals on this day. ♦
