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.

stuck with him

[hotvintagepoll]

Oh no I missed coffee night!!!!

I wanted to ask you about Hitchcock 😔 If you're willing to answer, which movies of his do you think are overrated and which do you think are actually good? He's my most watched director (because film school) but I only genuinely like a few of his films and always disagreed with my classmates about which ones were the best

I feel like I'm holding up a Daffy Duck style sign that says "shoot me" because Hitchcock is so well thought of by cinephiles versus me, the basic horny mod who watches movies with hot people in them. With that said, I remember Rope, Dial M for Murder, North by Northwest, and To Catch a Thief all left me a bit flat, because I felt like he was prioritizing pushing technical limits or creating extravagant images over deeper characters and relationships. I love a good technical limit-pushing, but it needs to serve the story! And sometimes I feel like he has an idea he wants to try or an image he wants to show and puts so much focus on developing it that characters' reality and interest kind of falls by the wayside—they become pawns navigating his situations, instead of interesting characters in their own right.

To be fair, this is more a characteristic of his later work than his early work—The Lady Vanishes is one of my favorite movies, and I remember Notorious and Spellbound both being enjoyable when I watched them a few years ago. Again, basic film watcher here. Don't show this post to the Criterion collection.

…SO RACHEL POSTED THIS LIKE 2 HOURS AGO APPARENTLY?????

IS A NEW GAME IN THE WORKS????? THE SAME THING WAS DONE TO HINT AT MARRIED IN RED

DAMN MAYBE I’LL FINALLY BE ABLE TO PLAY ONE OF THESE GAMES INSTEAD OF JUST WATCHING A PLAY THROUGH-

I’M EXCITED

[hazelnootnut]

Alright, let's start with a softball first-

So as you may have seen before I went on hiatus, I kind of fell into a rabbit hole of Elevator Hitch art. And then I found an Elehitch RP blog that blew my mind and honestly? Ruined my entire art plans during December, but in a very good way.

Anyway, Fortune (who runs @youneedthisjob and who you should TOTALLY send asks to and the rest of their affiliates/ mains they're all so cool) answered this ask about how Protag's desk looked like and I, who has never drawn in this perspective style before, said "okay! bet!" and drew it. It turned out well, I think!

[alicepao13]

So I was like, let’s remain spoiler free about Epic. And I missed:

Jorge Rivera-Herrans and most of the cast coming to Greece.

Them getting into all sorts of trouble trying to get to Ithaca to do the livestream, including a storm. I mean, the meta of it is too funny.

Now, dear cast of Epic, I’m Greek. Not mad I’ve missed the social media fun, love that you cared enough to make this trip. I just want to ask, since this is the worst Christmas weather we’ve had in a while, what kind of gods' wrath did y'all awaken?

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 ⁉️

[justsalpals]

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?
