>"Hiring Hollywood actors to play animated characters in films is taking away jobs from voice actors. They also don't understand how to voice actor, they just use their standard voice">"Look at how many INTERNET CELEBRITIES I hired in my show? Can they act....they have cool voice!"
>John Cena or Tobuscus>I want Jeff Bennett >JOHN CENA OR TOBUSCUS
When exactly did hiring talented VAs based on their ability to perform alone stop being a thing in Western animation anyway? That was the norm for decades.
>hey Anni how are you doing? Welcome to the pizza place ey? Ah, your Jedi mind tricks don't work on me huh?
>>153734748Can I get Frank Welker to play everyone?
>>153734763I think a lot of it was cutting corners.
>>153734763It technically started in the late 90s but didn't become the complete standard until the economic crash in 2008.
>>153734763No it wasn’t stop lying
>>153734748The entire voice acting industry is so fucked, that even choosing Jeff Bennett is indicative of a stagnant industry where only people who started in the 90s are given consistent work. People like Kimiko Glenn are pretty present right now, are they going to have the same legs as Tom Kenny or Tara Strong? Probably not, cause she really just does the one voice. And that's a huge problem with the "rising talent" right now, isn't it? None of them are trained or training voice actors in the classic sense. They don't have range, they can't play characters, they just play themselves. So you either have celebrities who are only being casted for name-recognition purposes. You have these veterans who get most of the work. And you have these fleeting stars who really just voice a handful of characters and can't really compete with the veterans at all. So like, the fuck do you do?Personally, I think we need to start scouting more at comedy clubs and small theater productions. I don't think those amazing "can do ten different voices" people are going into animation. I think they're dormant in another entertainment field and the people who ARE interested in voice acting are only doing it because "cartoons are cool" or something.
>>153734748John Cena is a much better actor than most of the people on Gameoverse
>>153734826You need to be 18 years old to post on 4chan
>>153734853You are not gonna sit there and pretend that filmation shows and similar stuff from the 80’s had good voice acting Your bait is weak
>>153734844> I think we need to start scouting more at comedy clubs and small theater productionsHave you ever been to either of those in the last face or are thinking it’s the 90’s when even then people rarely did that
>>153734700The voice acting is shit, sure, but the real problen is the pacing and dialoguePeople will put up with bad voice work if the storys good, they wont put up with good voice work if the storys bad
>>153734700>Pay for actors that will cost more than the animation budget or get some known guys on the internet that will do it for the exposure aloneHmmmm, what a hard choice
>>153734893NTA but those shows notorious had very talented actors with very untalented writers. Like, you can't tell me that He-Man and Skeletor's VAs didn't absolutely nail their lines. The problem is that so much of the dialogue was written quite stilted and plain.
>>153734911I don't understand what you mean by that. Are you saying people still do that or that they never did it at all?
>>153734935They were doing a voice not acting That’s like thinking that doing a voice impression alone constitutes a dramatic reading
Hm.
>>153734935You understimate their writers the lines are so funny because they had to work inside ridiculous limits and demands
>>153734893Yes I am because the scripts were terrible but the VA work was solid. You're a fucking retard.
>>153734947I’m saying that people don’t do that anymore and back then it was a rare occurrence to do that because producers only did that for comedians that have been doing that thing for years
>>153734972The scripts weren’t even solidPeople still make fun of the dialogue of those shows even back in the 2000’s because they were so cheesy you could get constipated from it
>>153734956>They were doing a voice not acting
>>153734984Oh, I wasn't trying to imply that we used to do it, I was suggesting that more people should do it now. I know producers in big studios have no reason to do it because they get so many submissions, but I think more aspiring showrunners and web series creators should do stuff like, going to college theater plays just to see if there's some hidden talent in their neighborhood.
>>153734969Sharteens got out of school
>>153735003As said, doing a voice doesn’t convey emotion in a line alone Don’t get mad because you can’t accept it
>>153735020Maybe if you’re already in college making it they should do it but the only ones I can see doing that art animation students getting their classmates to voice their thesis film
>>153734956I disagree, I think they were acting and not just reading the lines while doing an impression. Like, I don't think they voice director said, "Say every line with a hint of stoicism and that's it". They definitely seem like they're performing it closer to a radio show where things are said slower and enunciated more so you don't miss anything. I think if they were allowed to act more naturally, they definitely would've elevated it. But you can hear that these are people who have the talent, they're just being held back by someone off-screen saying, "It's for kids, talk slow. It's for kids, be sillier. It's for kids, we don't want them to miss this information". https://youtu.be/MdCSQY5X3Ng?si=YuJ8gTUeqVjIv-m7
>>153735022Even worse, summer break has arrived for many.
>>153734911I recommend anons go to a cheap theater production at least once. Those guys, even the small community college productions, have insane vocal ranges.Most of those actors never get any real gigs though. Indie voice work would be stellar for them.

They also don't understand how to voice actor, they just use their standard voice">>"Look at how many INTERNET CELEBRITIES I hired in my show? Can they act....they have cool voice!"I think there are two things. First of all, there is the more classical economic logic where someone with a more packed resume is less of a financial risk than a newbie. But there's also the phenomenon of star power which, I think, already started to develop in early Hollywood, where the stars themselves became a sort of product with their own branding and advertising power. So the logic is that casting stars will attract their fans to watch the movie based on the cameo alone.The more "corporatized" version of the second thing would be a K-Pop group where the stars are micromanaged by the company that owns them, as well as the older forms of Hollywood stardom. But e-celebs and content creators are the more "democratic" version of the same thing. Anyway the economic logic is simple, you don't need to make up bizarre conspiracies of irrationality to explain this.Unless you're attempting to parody the indie producers who refuse to hire Hollywood actors? I already said this in the other thread but the indie producers and the content creators are of the same class in the modern age and both groups are fully aware of this. Even outside of the economic logic I outlined above, they will generally support each other whenever they can even if it is hypocritical in light of the previous justifications. But in this case the justification is that a content creator is a little fish and Hollywood actors are big fish, so with the latter they're "looking out for each other" and with the former it's distasteful. The petty-bourgeois mental masturbation about l'art pour l'art and whatever the fuck comes way after this fundamental class logic.

>>153735112Oh, dear...
>>153734700Dey took er jobs?
What does kit do in cases where a videogame is being played inside of another videogame (like how you can play donkey kong in animal crossing)?
>>153734785But Hollywood actors are more expensive.
>>153735665Robotic legs?
>>153734700kit is just a modern version of the "WTF Kris" meme
