I personally cannot wait for AI to replace every single one of these whiny cunts. VAs in the West are the most obnoxious and self righteous people on the planet, Robin Atkin Downes and TJ Rotolo are the only ones I tolerate.

Beside that, they should stop acting like they are or own characters they voice. Like how Erica Lindbeck reacts to AI thing, video says Futaba, not Erica Lindbeck.

Imagine making a character non-binary because self-identifying as one. Localisation bullshit involves.

Same localisation bullshit with One Piece, they'll never let this one goes away.

Is it only American voice actors that are huge pussies?
UK dubs for weeb games are better anyway, Dragon Quest and Ni No Kuni are so much better than any Atlus dub.

Social media is a plague, not even UK dubs is safe with XC3 example above.

Well, I think even most current days EN voice acting are fine or at least serviceable. It it's that most of them can't sing either, so there are times when you notice if they try to say some cool lines in serious and loud way, their voices at that moment breaks.
Although, EN voice actors aren't the only issue with EN voice acting industry. Voice directors should also takes the blame for their moron voice directing decision. Like recent Yong Yea casting as Kiryu in Yakuza game.

@TVBForever, involving with voice director issue, more things to hate Capcom.
Beside shit voice acting for Ada in Resident Evil 4 remake. They have shit choices in MonHun Rise too.
It's motherfucking Debra Wilson again, now voices a character who is supposed to be a niece of village elder NPC in game. Imagine hearing some 50 years old auntie Mr T wannabe as someone else niece.
Also, whatever is this earbleeding not even uwu and gross deep voice. They can't even make the joke between cutesy idol and angry/delinquent tones in JP.
MonHun Stories 2, cat companion Navirou, lots of people complaining EN voice for him.

I have a lot more reasons as to how I hate Capcom so much
 
This has probably been said before, but I hate the voice acting community and think they are a cabal of villainy. Mostly I hate that they think they provide some sort of irreplaceable role in the shows/media they're in. They don't write the characters nor do they create or animate them.

It used to be kinda cool as a kid to see the person behind the voice, but once you realize places like Funimation employ the same 7 people to voice every show it gets old fast.

Japanese VAs seem to have more humility at least, than their western counter parts.

82 years old. Dudes older than my dad and lived to an older age than my grandpa, and older than Frank Welker whose's 77. Its kind of insane to realize that so many of the Transformers VAs weren't young guys saying silly voices into a mic but they were boomers in their 30s-40s when they were recording voices for a goofy toy commercial.

It's funny that both Cullen and Welker still sound great even past their prime.

And he's still one of the best voices of Eeyore (Brad Garrett is....second at best imo)

Don't forget, he's done vocalization work as the titular creature in the first Predator movie. And was the first guy to play as Mario before Charles Martinez, Lou Albano, Walker Boone, Nicholas Glaeser, Marc Graue, Bob Hoskins and Chris Pratt.

Yes, I couldn't help but chuckle when someone asked him what it was like to voice Mario, and like the Canadian grandpa he is, he politely admitted that he couldn't remember that role.

He really is a gem.

By any chance, did you ask what he thinks of Chris Pratt in the recent Mario movie?
 
Today's Asami Seto's birthday!
 
So I'm about to attend Cosplay Expo again this December, so I'm hoping to see which voice actor I can meet. I had fun meeting Johnathan Joss (the guy who voiced John Redcorn of King of the Hill) and among others.
