Actors like Mark Hamill, Keith David, Clancy Brown, James Earl Jones, J.K. Simmons, Ron Perlman, Robin Williams, Tony Todd, Michael Ironside, Tim Curry, Malcom McDowell, Michael Dorn, and Jack Black are perfect examples of celebrities who are just as capable at voice acting as they are at acting live on set.

@@Applebomb8D I don't think that's entirely true, voice actors and idols are two entirely different entities, voice actors in general are required to be able to sing and "dance" to an extent, and have a certain stage presence, sure, but they have more "free will" in their personal lives I feel like, unlike idols, where they're literally treated almost as if they're just beautiful robots that belong to, and are property of the creeps (men AND women) who lowkey highkey worship them.... Sure a similar treatment *HAS* seeped into the voice acting fans scene, but it's not nearly as promenant as the idol fans scene. Just look at how idols are treated and perceived when they're "caught out with someone" vs a voice actor who announced their marriage.... It's almost as if for the most part, VA fans don't give a shit about their favorite VA's personal life, they can do whatever the frick they want as long as it doesn't hinder their work output or something, that's why the most frequent statement in these marriage announcements is a "I will continue my work as usual, thank you for the continuous support" or some sort....

Voicing a character for decades with little replacements is a huge deal, considering not everyone here in the U.S. gets to do the voice for less than a decade because of their voice acting studio is not the same place and would have to move out of their homes in California and go to New York. Everyone in Japan knows Goku's voice, everyone on the planet knows Mario's voice. No celebrity would make the character better just because his or her career is booming. They get replaced anyway for cartoons and games so why the hell were they casted? Stallone was in the Ratchet and Clank movie as this big security bot then gets replaced in the videogame. I love the guy but it such a waste of money to voice him for the movie.

I think they treat voice acting as an actual sort of acting than they do in the U.S. For example, if you look up "voice acting schools in" either America or Japan, America gives filmmaking results not voice acting results. Meanwhile, if you search for Japan, you get a school in Tokyo that focus *only* in voice acting. Basically, Japan treats it as an actual art of acting while the U.S. doesn't (which might explain why so many anime English dubs are so bad...)

People need to recognize that voice acting is acting, and it’s hard work. It’s not just doing a funny voice or a sub-par impression; it’s being able to maintain that voice/impression through several takes, through various emotions and scenarios, and still be able to embody a character. Even if you have a distinctive voice, distinct voices still have to have versatility. The relationship that anime fans have to voice actors is very apparent with this. Anime fans can name/recognize their favorite voice actors within seconds, but they can also be terribly critical when an English dub gets announced and the characters “don’t sound right”. I think that’s one of the reasons why the sub/dub discourse is so strong, because to anime fans, a character is more “authentic” in a certain language.

The most underappreciated voice actors of all time are those we don't know the name of. JK Simmons is pretty well off compared to the people who actually made our childhood. This comment underappreciates voice actors as well.
"Name a single person whose primary career is voice acting" I immediately said Dee Bradley Baker. The guy is a beast, voiced both Momo & Appa in ATLA, and his most impressive role, voicing all Clones in the Clone Wars and giving them distinct personality from the voice, even if it's the same voice. Oh and he has a lot more roles than that, in so many shows too

I'm reminded of what I heard Zach Aguilar (the voice of Male Byleth in Fire Emblem/Smash Bros, Male Traveler/Aether in Genshin Impact, and Koichi in JoJo Part 4 and others) said about VA work on one of his signing streams. The Japanese industry has TONS of respect for voice actors, wherein they're brought to several events for the games, movies, and anime that they voice for. Namely though, he said that voice actors are usually in the same room as they voice lines for characters in a scene. For dubs and even some video game voice over however, a lot of times a director has to bring in one actor at a time to dub over ALL of a character's lines for an episode, or even for just one scene. This is why some anime dubs, despite being performed well, can feel as though the characters aren't listening to each other in a conversation. There's also what I recall Morgan Berry's (voice actress of Thirteen from My Hero Academia, Altena from Fire Emblem, and Rindo from Food Wars) recent appearance at a con where she also said that VA work is inconsistent and you would be doing that work, not for money or fame, but for the love of the art of voice acting. It's a wonderful art, but it isn't very appreciated in the public eye, not as much as on-screen actors are.

The one instance that hurt the most was honestly Scoob! for me. Scooby Doo is pretty well known for having the same VAs for years if not decades on end. Like Frank Welker has been voicing Fred since the series was started but was passed over for Zac Efron, which even though he was able to voice Scooby another very iconic role is so terrible. It really did hurt to see that and even though I believe that the movie had a lot of good Easter eggs in the plot and visuals the fact that they disrespected such an integral part to the series just made me feel so angry. Voice actor's honestly deserve so much more recognition and the fact that they're seen as so disposable sucks so much. Traditional celebrities and actors get enough time in the spotlight with them showing their face with just about every role they get, but voice actors never get this type of recognition unless it's within animation fanbases.

I saw the cast of the new Mario movie and I had to come back to this video.
I really liked how DreamWorks used to do it. Even if they had a star-studded voice cast, each one of those celebrities performed very well and brought something to the character. I especially liked it when you couldn't even tell who they were until after you check the credits. Nowadays, they'll just cast whoever just because they happened to be a popular actor that year. Edit: Also, I think the reason why American dubs for anime is so bad is because a lot of the time, those VAs are monolinguals. When you know more than one language, you know that your voice changes whenever you speak a different language. How you sound in one language is gonna be different from how you sound in another. These American VAs try so hard to replicate Japanese voices but they should just try to voice characters in a way that's appropriate for the character.

VAing in american animation is weird to look at as someone who really likes seiyuu in anime-- the voice cast is actually a pretty BIG motivator for me to watch an anime! As far as I can tell, seiyuu seem to have a semi-"celebrity"/idol status in japan (prominently amongst anime circles) and it feels like a far cry from how we treat VAs here in the states. Is Saori Hayami voicing the main girl in Kakegurui a selling point of the show? Well... I'd argue yes, but I love Hayamin 😫 how similar would you consider seiyuu to be to "celebrity voice actors"?

In any story ever, the character should ALWAYS come first. The character should be believable, match the setting, match the aesthetic, and have chemistry with other characters. The character idea should be entirely fleshed out before a voice is ever considered. In many cases, celebrity voice casting has been phenomenal because the voice embodies the character, regardless of the actor's status. The most important name attached to an animated film should be that of the characters, not their actors. I'm not against celebrities voicing animated characters, many of my favorite performances involve actors who don't specialize in voice work. I'm against casting for the sake of name recognition.

Exactly. Like, I couldn't tell you for the life of me what most of the characters in modern animation actually sound like. They don't stick out to me at all. But when I think of characters like Sokka, Mr. Krabs, Mung Daal, Samurai Jack, Ben 10, Danny Phantom, Beast Boy, etc. I INSTANTLY have their voice in my head. Good voice acting leaves a lasting impression.
voice acting in video games are really appreciated from what I've seen. When TF2'S soldier voice actor died, the entire TF2 community celebrated what he done

RIP Rick May, that glorious bastard. Fucking...I was a fan of TF2 for years. I suck at the game but I immersed myself in its world for a while. Love all the animations, I understand the memes. When Rick May died, the whole community really did come together in mourning to celebrate the man's career. A whole 21-rocket launcher salute.

@@brandonmorel2658 I don't mean to imply TF2 is an immersive game. I mean more in the sense of how you can immerse yourself in, say, historical research.

@@SobiTheRobot Immersion to me is being engrossed in something, be it a game or a book, being immersed is like being a character in the world presented in the media I am experiencing. The only way I can imagine someone being immersed in TF2 is through roleplaying as the mercenaries or maybe being captivated by the comics that flesh out the world of the game.

Coming back to this video after the announcement of the cast for the Super Mario movie.
Great video, and I agree that the celebrification of voice acting is bad. The one thing I feel got neglected is how Anime (despite the fact I don't watch it) has gotten pretty popular again, this time with an older audience, and their voice actors tend to be celebrated.

True, but in the case of Japan voice acting is a serious job (with dark undertones lurking beneath once you dig deep enough) and it is a requirement for Japanese VAs to have as wide of a vocal range as possible to make the characters they voice distinguishable from each other. As such, most Japanese VAs don't fall into, say, Seth Rogan voice acting. Each and every character they voice has a unique voice, and in the (alarmingly but gradually increasing, yet still bearable) cases that they're not, a unique quirk or personality that separates the character to the voice actor. Famous VAs, for example Rie Takahashi, are deemed famous for having these distinguishable voices (in her case, like Re:Zero's Emilia's soft but confident tone compared to her KonoSuba's Megumin's aggressive reckless tone).

Again? It's never been popular. It's only recently where anime has started to become popular and gain mass market appeal. I'll always respect how they treat they're voice actors up top with celbrities compared to here in the west.

this video is referring to the context of hollywood's mistreatment of voice actors, not misrepresentation as a whole. anime doesn't have a huge foothold in hollywood aside from maybe the occasional netflix show, so it's point as a representative medium is fairly moot

Mark Hamill is a good example of celebrity VA done right. When he voices the roles of say Skips (Regular Show), the Joker or Ozai (Avatar the Last Airbender), I could never tell as a kid who the VA was. Not just because of his vocal range, but because it truly felt like he was voicing a different character each time with their own motivations, struggles and ideals.

At least in latin america the dubs uses voice/dub actors instead of celebrities and sometimes, a celebrity is put in there, so the really bad impressions are replaced with good stuff most of the time
@sebasoler5347

Latin america is a weird case becasuse every movie needs voice actors to be in spanish. And thats why we have so many great ones (Blas Garcia being my favourite). The sad thing is that the "celebrification" has already started in here as well, but it is only for animated movies, like when Netflix hired Yatra to do the voice of Jesper in Klaus (which sound horrible imo) because they hoped that would make the latin crowd more interested in the movie. But that is just another sign of how underapreciated animation is, because i am sure they would never hire the celebrity of the moment to voice the main the role of an Scorsese movie.

My one issue with latin dub is that they use the same VAs for everything over and over again. I wouldn't mind hearing unknown voices in many series but it can be annoying to find out that the same dude who voiced an important character in X episode of X series is also voicing four different dudes in Y episode of the same X series. despite that, I love latin dub, the passion it has is unique just the way both japanese and english dubs have their own charm.
Voice actors are sooo talented, in gaming i feel like there’s a bit of respect for them for sure
