It fucking sucks because the times people DON'T get typecast it's fucking hack psychos like monica rial who just does the bulma voice for nearly every fucking female character even if it doesn't fit. I also find it retarded voice acting is now like walled behind several layers of exclusive middlemen organizations and unions so you can't just like barge in for an audition anymore like some famous voice acting roles did back in the day but that's another story. Somehow it also all circles back to SAGAFTRA or some shit like that every fucking time even if they don't live in california so you end up with shit like constantly updating games like genshin having muted characters in voiced cutscenes. Any other game that shit would not fly but apperently it was some issue with the unions and a middle man organization mihoyo was using;. Speaking of Genshin it's like one of the few things I've seen not really super big or typecast VAs in in recent years save for some exceptions. They're somehow still tied back to the current year media machine beast though.Honestly not sure how popular of an opinion this is but I feel like the whole typecast situation only causes more problems then solutions and limits voice actors chances are getting roles. What really doesn’t help that people are super weird about it too.
I feel like the only time i can understand wanting a voice actor for something specific is like some accent or something
I've been doing bad Lou Albano impressions reading the text out loud for every muted voicedcharacter I come across, it just seems cosmically ftting.
