        I get this whole thing is supposed to be mocking how “woke” Arthur and RDR2 are supposed to be, but honestly I really think he doesn’t give a shit about any politics or whatever and just wants to survive more than anything which would explain why doesn’t give much of a shit what race Lenny is.

          You've pretty much hit the nail on the head. People always bring up that votes for woman character in Saint Denis but never the fact that even the 'friendly' interaction has Arthur call her stupid for wanting to vote at all.

            Anonymous

            That's really Arthur's character as a whole. He sees society and its institutions as stupid because he has always lived outside of it. Voting is novel and stupid to him because it doesn't mean anything to him. Slavery and its aftermath offend Arthur because he most values freedom. The Van Der Linde gang is counterculture to society, it exists in direct opposition to everything the public feels is right, that is in manners, marriage, crime and punishment, institutions and urbanization.

            The Mick Gordon thing is the perfect example. The amount of times I've heard "Mick Gordon has presented undeniable proof" is ridiculous. He's done no such thing. He's presented a scant amount of carefully curated evidence that in know way definitely proves his account of events. He may well be right but the idea we know enough right now to know for sure is complete and utter nonsense and anyone who thinks we do is just plain biased.

      - Western voice actors can barely voice act, can’t do anything else. Only the cream of the crop are actual geniuses like classic Looney Toons legends such as Mel Blanc.

      - Japanese voice actors need to be full blown entertainers who can sing, cultivate fandoms, fake an image where they are perfect beings, otherwise you are a nobody that voices some random Eroge character.

      The difference is quite simple and why western voice actors just can’t build a solid career while Japan has paved the path to success if you have what it takes.

    Because voice acting is not acting. I don't know -why- voice actors would want to be under the same umbrella when it requires a compl oh right money.
    This is the problem: Good actors do not equal good voice actors. Good voice actors do not equal good actors. There are people who can do both, they are rare.
    Voice actors get upset with actors being hired and paid a fortune to do a shit job. Me too.
    But the real MVP is decent voice direction and a proper recording environment that allows VAs to work with each other rather than recording in isolation

      That's why I said that they're usually failed actors, some of them even had the charisma,talent, and looks, something just didn't work out.

        It's really a stereotype (though to be one, there have to be plenty of people who fit it) anon. You also have men of many voices, ex-star trek actors (VA seems to be a retirement gig for them. They range from awful to okay to honestly better than when they were acting) That Guy Who Does That One Voice You Can't Get Elsewhere (RIP Tony Jay miss you so much) and the occasional Royal Shakespeare Company veteran who is way better than they have any right to be, who does like one role and then is never seen again.

      Counterpoint, Actors do ADR for films all the time. So they do know a lot about voice acting. When a famous actor gets a VA gig for a game or whatever and sucks that the directors fault mainly.

        I mean you're agreeing with me there anyway so I'm not going to contend: decent voice direction is way more important than people credit.
        But ADR from actors is a different beast usually because they've done the scene and have a self-prompt for their performance.
        Yes I know, mo-cap voice acting is basically the same thing. Look man I don't know I'm shitposting on Ganker I just want really good voice acting in my bideo games not celebrity 10,000 doing passable to terrible job over and over.

        in marvel movies paul rudd does really bad ADR, whenever he's in a suit and you can't see his face he acts like he's voicing a cartoon character. you'd think in productions that big someone would reign him in, but i guess they thought letting him frick it up on purpose added to the movie.

    a lot of them do actual motion capture, like in god of war 4/5, tlou 2, dmc5, probably a bunch of other games nowadays

    if they do actual motion+voice acting i don’t mind calling them actors. but of course a lot of voice actors go with the cultural zeitgeist so this board hates them all

          reprising a role from over a decade ago with a cult following is not the same as being recast in one of the most celebrated games of all time. Hell she clearly flubbed the nier remake specifically because she's so much older and more experienced it just didn't come out as crass. Meanwhile the ff16 cast is relative nobodies.

      nu-tifa is actually fantastic in the role, she's probably my favorite of the new ff7 cast. zack is very obviously the worst one

    Not hard to work out. Screen actors are ultimately more valuable than voice actors.

    God, voice actors are so fricking pathetic. Just do your job and stop trying to pretend you're "stars". You're not stars. You're nobodies. Nobody cares about voice actors except weebs so if you want praise and adoration then go to an anime convention and have sex with the underage morons that watch anime.

    because the people they hire to be mocapped into video games don't know how to act, so I'm not calling them "actors".

        I have never watched Avatar, like I don't think I've even heard a voiced line from the movie, just pictures on here. I don't watch a lot of movies and I had even less interest in what appeared to be CGI Pocahontas.
        That's not a judgement against anyone else I'm just an insular frick who doesn't really care about most genres of movies. But if you wanted to make some kind of mimetic propaganda thing a film that's universally appealing would have to be the way to go. I have to be relatively rare. Relatively, your sub-saharan farmer probably doesn't watch a lot of movies either. Except really good ones from Nigeria.

    Voice Actors is already too generous of a term. These untalented fricks use the exact same voice in every game. They should be called talkers.

    The fact that the top ten highest paid voice actors have been trying to start their own union to lock out new VA’s from taking their gigs (which they control like 90% of the industry) is honestly disgusting.

      >The fact that the top ten highest paid voice actors have been trying to start their own union
      They already have a union. It's called SAG-AFTRA. They went on strike a few years back with utterly ridiculous demands of the video game industry which they got virtually none of and caved. And yes, they absolutely gatekeep against non-union members and it's very, very hard to become a member of SAG-AFTRA. You either have to have friends in high places or get in via one of the backdoors, e.g. being a radio announcer for several years or something.

    Remember the last time video game voice actors got riled up and went on strike?
