LET'S GO, JUSTIN!

I feel like this exact same thread was posted 20 times before

>>151891003
Never understood this one. Have these people ever complained about Phil LaMarr's roles?

>>151891058
No, because they know what they mean. They've always meant non-whites can voice whites and not the other way around.

They just had to phrase it in a way that sounds equitable, but then the studios took their words too literally.

>>151891012
Yeah I was laughing when I saw it was Justin Wong I hope this was a joke.

>be an aspiring VA
>go to audition
>you nail the audition perfectly, showrunners tell you completely captured the tone and pitch they wanted for the character
>but sadly the character is two shades browner than you, so they're gonna hire this other person who did a worse job at it but is the right shade
How is this NOT racist as fuck??
I swear its like we are reverting, next the so called "progressives" will be calling for segregation but will call them safe spaces for minorities and PoCs instead.

>Conveniently I, as an Asian-American, am able to voice any Asian person regardless of their accent or nationality
>If you call me anything except Thai though I'll call you out on TWITTER, nyehehehehe

>>151891003
Damn, is that proZD? He's gained some weight

Phil LaMarr being a dickless bitch who wants to have his cake and eat it too is so disappointing.

>>151891205
Honestly I don't even think this happened, this guy has always been fucking weird, all those wannabee youtuber VA's like him and Arin Hanson have fucking brainworms.

>>151891205
Considering he's voicing a white dude in that new whatever show, he clearly only means he gets roles and no one else should.

>>151891003
Who cares. All of mainstream entertainment is dead, Hollywood is dead, animation is even more dead, and animated series are even more dead than the rest of animation.

The Peter Dinklage of voice acting

>>151891536
Yeah, nobody had a problem with it, at least nobody with a brain.

This shit doesn't even make sense, it's just voice acting, as in, the appearance of the person doesn't matter. If anything it should be the less racist/discriminatory type of acting, since anyone can voice any kind of character, even from the opposite gender sometimes. If this idiot had things his way, he and every other voice actor would have even less job opportunities.

>>151891572
Yeah, exactly.

>>151891052
And somehow it's still funny.

>>151891659
The only reason it ever really became a "big problem" is because of absurd deals Simpsons actors were getting and people wanting a piece of the pie.

Plus the argument doesn't really actually hold up to much scrutiny anyway and opens up a whole can of worms like making a significant portion of anime dubs nearly impossible with any level of professional quality without getting backed up for decades while the same 3 people dub literally every character. God forbid you're doing an Italian, German, Russian, etc dub and now need to find an ethnically Japanese person that also speaks one of those languages, is available and a good actor.

>>151891572
>>151891659
Has Peter Dinklage paid for this nonsense yet? Because god dammit give little people work again

>>151891878
Nah his agent knows to only involve him in projects that the dumbest braindead normalfags watch like Dexter so he has constant public good will from people who only say he's a good actor because he's a midget.

>>151891878
He was in a movie recently but his face was covered for 90% of the runtime lol.

>>151891900
>>151891913
Remember when Dinklage played a Dwarf in Infinity War yet insisted on being a giant sized Dwarf?

>>151891939
He's aware being a dwarf is inherently somewhat funny. Part of why he gets so much hate from the snarkier side of the internet is because it's so fucking obvious how cynical he is and doesn't actually care about midge rights or whatever.

>>151891058
A fan once asked him about voicing Samurai Jack and Phil said that doesn’t count

How easy do you think it would be to rape Peter Dinklage? even if you are not in to dwarf man ass. It would be so easy, it's like raping a hairy toddler.

Maybe dwarfs need to be protected by the same laws children are protected, and not allowed to date people of certain age.

>>151891003
Twitter brownie points and being seen as the face of anime voice acting

>the face of anime voice acting
Does anyone actually give a fuck about dub voice actors in the modern era?
Not even dubfags give a fuck about the VAs these days, only millennial dubfags ever cared about that.

>>151891983
What about basically all foreign dubbing? Are italians supposed to find 16 ethnically japanese people who speak fluent italian and can act every time they want to localize something?

The whole discussion is stupid and opens up a can of worms that can never be answered and if you actually took a principaled approach you end up doing just that where now you can only match character with actor. No more women voicing male characters, no more non-whites voicing white characters, no more non-japanese voicing 99% of anime characters. It's ridiculous.


>>151892174
Dubs are more popular now if anything. It's really more of a millennial thing to actively avoid them.

>>151892208
>Dubs are more popular now if anything.
In the same way AIslop is more popular nowadays, yes.
99.9999% of the people watching dubs do not give a single iota of a fuck about the people voicing the characters in them.
My fucking dad watches dubbed anime, and he damn sure doesn't know a single thing about the people doing the voices, nor does he care.

>>151892217
>In the same way AIslop is more popular nowadays, yes.
No you retarded lunatic. There was literally just a big dustup where Amazon tried doing ai dubbing and it had such massive pushback that they actually changed their mind within days.

Don't just say the first thing that pops into your empty head you dumb fuck

>>151892230
>There was literally just a big dustup where Amazon tried doing ai dubbing and it had such massive pushback that they actually changed their mind within days.
That was only because it sounded like absolute shit and made every character sound like a bored robot, not because the people give a fuck about the actors in the show. Their AIslop dub was worse than random hobbyist shit generated by autists here on 4chan 2 years ago.
In the same way that retards accepted AIslop voices in video games, they will do the same with AIslop dubs in anime.

>>151892250
>i was wrong but actually ummmm uhhhh i wont admit it hehe
retard

>>151892271
I accept your concession, I'm sorry that you don't yet realize that you're the lowest common denominator and that AIslop is in your very near future.

>>151892279
You are really retarded, dude.

>>151892284
And you're in extreme denial for some reason.

Sure thing guy who gets tricked into parroting /int/ memes that were made just to be a shibboleth for actual ESLs.

>>151891955
On one hand he has a point, dwarf actors should get the part due to their acting skills and not just reduced to little funny men. On the other hand, he's a self important prick who had rich parents supporting him. There are fewer of them so naturally the pool of good actors among dwarfs will be smaller too so most of them won't get casted outside of those typecasted roles. However most dwarf actors are just trying to get by with whatever jobs works for them and there is a lot of normal jobs that simply aren't available to them and now a lot of them can't even get acting as a possible job option because they don't have rich parents

I really don't like his voice acting
He just sounds so amateurish
I was so excited when I heard we were getting animated lackadaisy, but then I heard his voice coming from Mordecai and I instantly lost all interest

>>151892470
I wouldn't say amateurish but he sounds like every funimation dub ever. It's just hitting a target with no nuance in the acting. He's technically talented but in the same way someone who can only draw photorealism is a good artist. None of his performances have ever made me feel anything.

>>151892470
Yeah from the stuff I've heard from him he sounds like your typical "I'm doing a voice/this is my "x" voice" amateur sounding VA mediocrity.

https://youtu.be/vCIeG9vGsew?si=V2PgNKmKEILHx5Of&t=2959
How did society regress so hard so quickly?

>>151892532
Barely any studios are actually enforcing character matching.

>>151891052
Some autist is rotating through his favorite spam topics. You can also tell because the responses are weirdly emotional and scripted like an ragebait engagement bot.

>>151892513
What >>151892529 said feels about right. His voice acting just feels like he has the funny voices he did from his vines and he's trying to make a career out of them.
Which can work if the voice is meant to be distinctive or inherently funny, like Peter Lorre or Patrick Warburton. But ProzD's voice isn't distinctive or funny. It's just... a dude. Some fucking guy. So when he does his smug voice or his cool voice it just sounds like ProzD doing a voice.
I won't pretend he hasn't improved but it still sounds kind of flat and lame. Like, he's genuinely WORSE than people I've met just playing tabletop games at voice acting.

>>151892578
I think you're massively overselling amateur voices and probably haven't heard much actual amateur voice acting. His technical skills are far beyond some random guy and being distinctive or "inherently funny" has nothing to do with that and it's dumb to compare him to someone who does literally 1 voice.

>>151892597
>I think you're massively overselling amateur voices
NTA, but he doesn't sound any better than random Youtubers.
His VA work genuinely belongs in the same tier as Youtubers like Mandaloregaming and Mauler.

>>151892597
>it's dumb to compare him to someone who does literally 1 voice
I point those people out to say that there's a difference between someone being bad at doing voices, and someone who has one voice that's distinctive and appreciated because of itself.
>His technical skills are far beyond some random guy
I won't pretend the average person with no practice is better than him, but again people I've known who had no designs on voice acting as a career had more range both emotionally and in terms of voices themselves than I've ever seen from ProzD.
Maybe there's an exception some form of media he's really good in that I've missed because I avoid everything I hear his voice in.
>>151892597
>you're massively overselling amateur voices and probably haven't heard much actual amateur voice acting
Tabletop gaming is basically nothing but amateur voice acting and I've done plenty.
I've also seen plenty of tubers try to pivot to voice acting, seen plenty of indie youtube animations that obviously had amateur VAs by necessity. Big fan of Alfabusa's shit since 2015 and that's pretty much some random internet friend group's side-hustle.
It's anecdotal sure, but it's not like I only watch million dollar movies or some shit.

Discord trannies have really infiltrated 4chan over the years, but I can not stress enough how everyone left of center-right is literally incapable of understanding reality. It's insane how bloody it's going to get as we enter South Africa-tier problems. Unlike them we have more guns than people in this country and we know we have a right to kill evil people.

>>151892470
He's got a voice for advertising. He can read lines great, but he can't act.

>>151891983
He also said to keep his name out of your mouth and got real uppity about it.

>>151891003
Nintendo needs to keep an eye on their localisers. I have no doubt the big boys in Japan would have never allowed them to cast him if they knew about it.

The average person isn't going to watch a TV show or movie with a dwarf as the lead actor. It's just reality that a dwarf protagonist isn't that interesting nor taken seriously.

>>151893359
Did... did you not watch game of thrones?

>>151893374
He was a supporting character. He was never the leading character, aka main protagonist.

>>151891983
but i heard him on jim cummings podcast and he didnt agree with skin accurate casting or whatever its called
