why vg voice actors in America are not celebrated and well respected artists like they are in Japan?
srsly they are celebrities there.
>>
>>320959465
Because it's kinda silly
>>
because japan is full of men who are more like children, they get excited by cute voices, pretty faces and big eyes. they have a whole culture of where u can pay to cuddle/go on dates, u think they wouldnt be as bad as k-pop fags when it comes to idols?
>>
>>320959465
Because it takes almost no skill to sit in a recording booth and read from a script for half an hour.

Just look at how long David Hayter lasted, and he had been phoning it in since MGS2.

cartoons aren't as respected over here.

Also, many voice actors are cute kawaii lolita-like girls in Japan, and so aesthetics lends to their popularity/respect.

Because voice actors in Japan are obligated to always come back to voice them and do stuff like in character radio shows and drama CDs and the like. They generally do a lot more with their characters than voice actors elsewhere.

why does she look so weird? i've never see a gook look like that. is she mixed?

Because voice acting for silly cartoons and games are childish, unless it's for Disney or Dreamworks. It's the reason why cartoons in the west are almost comedies and the serious shows tend to be looked over.

Normally it is I agree but you just said it takes no skill or talent so surly you should be able to do it well.
>>
>>320959897
being able to portray emotions without any visual cues takes some level of skill, anon. add on the fact that they're usually in the studio alone, they can't easily work off other people and have to make it sound like they are.

He just looks like he's trying so hard
>>
>>320964934

I bet you don't actually do that though.
>>
Because:

a. Anime/video game voice actors stick with a character basically until they die or they get chopped in the throat by a Chinaman, so people get attached to them.

b. The Japanese movie scene isn't exactly booming, with most time and effort being put into anime and TV Dramas.

c. Anime voice acting has actually been GOOD for a good long while, with American video game voice acting for the most part being overacted garbage for a good long while.

Basically anime voice actors are like the movie stars of Japan.

Actors shouldn't be venerated in any media unless they are truly exeptional. Most do their jobs and are simply overpaid for it.

Of course. Any semi competent person can voice act a set of lines with little practice time. It's not like you have to worry about difficult acting cues like subtle body language and facial expression

>>
>>320959465
Voice actors are cancer.

It was like this ever since they've started dubbing movies.

Some people say the original Mad Max had all dialogues re-recorded by american actors with american accent before hitting US cinemas because americans wouldn't understand aussie accent.

I'm not even native english speaker and I understand the original perfectly.

So what happened?
Holywood actors, pissed off by the fact that they're starring in shitty movies(holywood was in real deep holy in the late 70's) while random, semi-amateurish australians did action movie better than they could for the entire decade, despite having much more money. They wanted to get their cut from it. The inhumane greed.

Video game VA's aren't any different. Greedy cunts with overblown ego who think they're the reason games are selling.
>>
>>320965173
Well show us what you can do then anon. Surly you are semi competent. Just copy something from a game and put it up here, make it even easier for you.

While I think voice acting is a cool job, they certainly overestimate their worth to a game's success. If they get a pay raise, then so should the hundreds of code monkeys that work harder throughout the whole process of development than they do in the 6 hours they spend in a sound booth each week.
>>
>>320965515
Add.

You're talking about industry that went to shit because they don't want to pay programmers enough so they're left with nobodies and codemonkeys and they CREATE the game, not just add some quality here and there.

Not really, don't pretend the VAs working on video games and anime are on the same rung as even television.


Because Japan cultivated an entire market out of people who will buy shit just because of the VA. Look at Osomatsu-san airing this season. They actually have a term for female fans who get into stuff because of the voice actors, it's seiyuujoshi or something like that. So they'll be buying merchandise like CDs and shit just cause the VAs were doing that.

You'd be hard-pressed to try to pull that shit with any actor that isn't at least working in a hit TV show or working in live action films.
