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.

Maybe the reason Jake is so "casual" about his parents being criminals and leaving him alone is nobody needs to know that the Golden Boy of the school has it rough because that would fuck with his reputation as the CoolRichAwesomeSpecial guy with a perfect life. Maybe it's framed comedically because he wants you (the audience and a hypothetical peer) to view it as a fun thing. Yeah they're running from the law so they're not gonna notice if I throw a rager on a school night, you comin' or what.

Maybe he's "casual" about Rich burning his house down because he has like 4 spoken lines in The Play and 3 in VIMH (depending on how you count them) and we don't know what his thoughts are on it because why would he talk about that with anyone when he's got a role to kill in Midsummer Nightmare with broken legs, like a badass. Because he's a badass. Don't feel sorry for him just look at how much of a badass he is. He's walking on broken legs because he can't feel pain. How cool is that. Tell him how cool he is.

He wasn't given much doylist development so I'm putting a watsonian spin on its absence. This is what we do with side characters.

"Thank you all for making it what it was," Chris says. "We couldn't have done it without each other."

And that's how it starts, the ending.
