It's getting there, which is a good thing. So far as I know none of the cast were professional VAs when they started out bar Jen Taylor, who was honestly wasted on the fluff/background videos.

So, tangentially related- But the video game industry may need to look elsewhere for voice acting.
I consider this double edged sword. On the one hand, it allows for unknowns, or actors from other countries, like Canada or the UK, to receive more acting gigs (assuming they don't get convinced to strike too, that is). On the other... for all we know, it may not just be limited to video games- Many of these actors overlap with the anime, cartoon and film ADR sections of voice acting. So those too may just as well be affected.
I get it, Voice acting is hard work (believe me, the script reads I do over Skype are taxing, more so when multiple roles are in play and many are gruff voices). But at the same time, if this does seep over to the other industries in voice work, or other countries decide to join in. Then I'll show little to no sympathy for anyone striking or supporting the strike (VA and non-VA alike).

Some of you will probably get a kick out of this.
This is from my local comic con from back in 2013. Several voice actors at a comic con panel. The highlight of this is when they do a reading of the "Chinese Restaurant" episode of Seinfeld... in their characters' voices.

There's a lot of those script readings on Youtube, mostly with Star Wars movies.

Phil Hartman is probably my all time favorite VA.

I only heard about the VA strike because Steve Blum did the ads for it. Other than that, my experience at the cons when I lived in NYC was that some VAs for really big anime tended to have the most bloated egos. Though most were pretty normal with all the normal worries, which is pretty cool for how many fans they have.

Woop woop time to bump up the thread!
Since there's a shitstorm happening in the VA scene, might as well put it here rather than clogging up the Anime thread.

For dub voice actors who can’t act I have to say Steve Blum as outside of like 3-4 roles, he sucks and doesn’t bother to act at all for his other roles.

His Guilmon is a gift and is my personal favorite role of his, second being Leeron of Gurren Lagann. Otherwise he has the same voice for every role he's in, but honestly, a gravelly voice is basically ear-candy, so it's no surprise he ended up getting scouted. Though apparently his story is he was just making up jokey voices on the spot to co-workers in the mail room when some big-shot overheard him, so I dunno, just sounds like it was luck.

The best voice work in vidya I've heard has been done by UK localization studios that hired theater actors anyway.
Holy shit this post is from 2016. I had no idea the thread was a zombie.

You're not wrong about that. Also, your avatar looks interesting. The voice actors in 2019 are going crazy right now with Vic being framed online over 10 years of rape crap and I fear other voice actors may be targets online.

Fell down the rabbit hole in the Vic Mignogna thread about the current English voice actress for Sailor Moon, Stephanie Sheh (I hate her as Sailor Moon, for those who wanted to know).
Found this very recent interview, and it takes less than 30 seconds for the Islamic Content to happen.
"I'm a dog mom." Bitch, get the fuck out right now.

So basically an Islamic supporter? Fuck! Can we get these voice actors reported to the FBI watchlist?
You should have a pet rock as an avatar. But it's a woman with tits in transform rock form.

Stephanie is a weird one. She likes playing the woke card a lot on Twitter despite her doing the extremely unwoke action of pretending to be a Japanese person professionally for years.
