Something about American hand-drawn cel animation motivated an ambitious aspiration to greatness that is far less common in American animation today. _Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse_ shows some of that greatness, as does the stop motion studio Laika, but most of it I see these days comes from foreign studios, like Studio Ghibli and Cartoon Saloon.

3 voice actors could pull it off, if they have the right range and variety. Sadly, most voice actors can't seem to do more than like 2 voices, maybe 3 tops. So, you're looking at a game 6-10 total voices unless you shell out for some good talent, at which point you might as well just hire some more voice actors.

Laura Bailey talked about the difficulties in dubbing anime in her Between the Sheets episode. It’s hard to get exactly the same emotion and intonation as the Japanese version because you are forced into a certain timing. These line time constraints are obviously not present in recording the original. Translation can really screw up how long it actually takes to convey a given idea. I don’t watch dubs, but I respect the voice actors a lot.

With the JoJo acting, I think the main difference between the Japanese and English is that the Japanese actor sounds almost unhinged, like he's bordering on totally losing his shit while trying to maintain his collected manor. The English actor focuses too much on being collected, and you lose those manic tones. He legitimately sounds like someone who will kill you if you blink wrong in the Japanese version.

I think Dio in the Japanese also sounds self-aware in a way. Dio knows he's a villain and he thorougly enjoys it. It's also like Dio could burst into laughter any time, because how ridiculous he is.

Yep I agree with OP. IMO Japanese Dio sounds like he's bad through and through and manipulates his way into doing whatever the fuck he wants while dub Dio sounds like a stereotypical villain whose bad deeds are just means to a personal end goal like "I want to control the world for money/I want to see my family/I want to avenge an unfair whatever" as opposed to the "I want to dominate the world and spread chaos because I'm completely insane deep down" like the japanese version

And that, folks, is why you need range when you act, lol.

[@virtualarmageddon6232]

@@ocernia1895 i weirdly agree with both of you. I actually would recommend anyone who wants to go into voice acting to take theatre workshops/classes because theatre acting focuses a lot on projecting your voice and how you deliver a line as you want people way in the back and higher levels with a poor view of the stage to get the same emotions even if they can't see your character's body language. I think depending on the actor and what type of acting they do it can either be easy or hard to do supremely high quality voice acting work, its all highly variable. I personally feel a lot of beginner VAs would benefit highly from doing theatre or doing pantomimes (dont know how common those are outside of the UK but they have an energy i think translates really well into especially anime voice acting, especially villainous roles lol) Sorry for any bad english mistakes, or rambling!

[@DerAstrophysikerr]

@@ocernia1895 Honestly, whenever I listen to e.g. Hollywood movies in English (as a non-native speaker), I feel like SO MANY ACTORS are just mumbling their words to themselves and don't really know what to do with their voice, how to deliver their lines. To me, this was especially apparent in some of the Marvel movies. I LOVE Robert Downey Jr. as an actor, for example, but I think he is a good example of somebody who is very much mumbling, not clearly delivering his lines, at least at times. I say this because in Germany, movies usually are synchronized, so I get to hear these versions with (more or less) "proper" voice actors behind the characters, and I find myself liking the German performance better than their English original counterparts often times, as ridiculous as that may sound. An example that came to my mind was actually Jack Sparrow - don't get me wrong, I think Johnny Depp did a really good job with the whole "drunken pirate" feeling, but I feel like the German version is ever so slightly more over the top, more... smug. Maybe try to listen to this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5SkmX-BhsyJjLc Or here, a scene from the YuGiOh anime in German (to be fair, this is not a comparison actor-voice actor, but still): kzbin.info/www/bejne/poSml2lmgKZ2aLs Maybe it's just me being used to hearing the German versions. But I do think many Hollywood actors should really work a little bit more on their voice and how well they can be understood.

[@Nezumi99]

HAHAHA NO.

[@UserError-gp8sl]

I don't think either one is harder then the other I personally think they have their own special difficulties that do make them different from one another though. With screen acting you have to be aware of your body language as well as your voice and with voice acting you're relying solely on your voice to get your emotions across. It's all acting but they're different enough that when approaching both you have to use different skill sets for each.
