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.

I like feyre, even though sjm kinda killed her character i stand with my girl for the most part. emphasis on the most part because i will never recover from her manipulating tamlin to lash out in acomaf/acowar (sorry they all bleed together)🧍🏻

And people will say she was justified in what she did and that its tamlins fault that he lashed out. like it wasnt great on his part but it is a type of emotional manipulation from feyre to get him to do that. she had to push him to get that reaction, it wasnt a natural reaction and man. Sjm accidentally wrote 90% of my childhood experiences with shitty boys LIKE how did she do that ⁉️

am I the only one who was against the lupete wedding? I mean no shame to anyone who enjoyed it of course, like what you like and don't let me tell you otherwise

but to me it just. ah, I don't know. didn't feel like them?? mr. "we don't own each other" suddenly views marriage as the way to move forward from his trauma and embrace life???

not that poly people can't get married of course! I just never got the "marriage type" vibe from either Lucius or Pete, but that could just be my own interpretation of the character. just, combined with the flirting with anyone else dropping to non-existent, it didn't sit right with me.

like the other character arcs cut short and swept under the rug for the "happy ending" to the season, it felt like they just wanted a big queer wedding to end on and knew BlackBonnet wasn't there yet.

maybe beginning the deep clean of my room on a day where my nose was already more sensitive and sneezy than usual was a bad idea…perhaps i should’ve thought a little harder about how itchy and allergic the combination of dust and lingering cat hair would make me, let alone on top of what i’m worried might be an oncoming cold—and a very sneezy, hitchy one at that.

my room might be cleaner than when i started but i’ve certainly made a mess of myself and am sneezing so frequently still that i can barely make this post

One of the most fun parts of learning about the presidents is getting those little details about what they were like as a person. Habits or interests or hobbies--things that make them a real person instead of just another picture of a bearded guy from the 1800s.

For a few examples:

Abraham Lincoln: Told jokes constantly. And was really good at it.

Ulysses S. Grant: Was amazing at handling horses.

James Garfield: Constantly went to the Library of Congress and always kept up on the latest novels. Had a house stuffed full of books. Often read classics aloud to his kids.

Chester Arthur: Had nocturnal habits and liked taking late night walks

Grover Cleveland: Did really good impressions of people

Benjamin Harrison: Dogs loved him and would sometimes follow him in to his law office.

It's just nice to remember that they were people, you know?

DID THE DEPOSIT FOR OUR WEDDING VENUE TODAY…… AAAAUGH (POSITIVE)

[slightlyunconventional]

j/on s/ims the type of guy to wait until the very very last second before pausing a tape to sneeze...... like?? he definitely is in denial about needing to sneeze despite it literally being about to happen

i think what the cyberbunk 2077 and the r/synthwave crowd miss about the aesthetic of cyberpunk in general is the urban decay of american cities in the late 70s/80s. Everything has to suck, it cant just be glass towers and neon

I hope Eddie and Evil Woman aren't dragging their feet with wedding plans as bad as I am. Years later and I STILL can't figure it out. 😂
