to be fair, animation is meant to sound expressive. the other voice actors are doing great. in this show it just sounds really weird because the dialogue is so unnaturally written, but it is the standard for heightened storytelling like cartoons. i do actually think having human sounding characters is a cool concept though, but it feels wrong for this show's vibe and slime boy's facial expressions are too expressive for the voiceover accompanying it.

This is the most convincing shy person I've ever heard in a show. He's so much better than the other VAs who sound over cheesed in my honest opinion. All that said... What's a microphone?

[@dezzyly]

Fr if only he had a better mic or sound mixing at least, he’s the only character to me that I genuinely enjoyed which is surprising coming from this dumpster fire of a series.

[@whatabeautifulduwang9603]

@@dezzyly He's likeable, but probably only because he has the most fitting dialogue. 😂

[@TheNinja94a]

People are talking about how it sounds like he's just remembering his lines as he says them but trust me, as a socially anxious person who just got really good at faking not being socially anxious, it's legit like rehearsing a script.

[@thetherrannative]

Watching this scene without context, I don't know why so many comments are negative. Slime Boy's voice actor did _incredibly_ well portraying that awkward, stammering tone a lot of people get in social situations they weren't expecting. Out of the three characters in this scene, I thought he was by far the best. EDIT: I've watched the show. I now have context. Every comment trashing this show is completely earned. This is the best disasterpiece I've ever watched.

[@vibevizier6512]

I love him so much. Like. He's just some guy. He just wants to find a room to cry in & write songs to cry to in & that's valid as hell.

[@PatchworkRose567]

Honestly, if they animated him to look more visibly nervous and timid his poor lines would come across more in character but he just stands and moves like all the other characters making his lines feel awkward and wrong.

[@badlydrawnturtle8484]

"I just came in here to cry", he says, smiling.

[@admiralrhino4049]

@@badlydrawnturtle8484 well his explanation explains that. It was just for a song, so I guess it gets a pass

[@theodenmannix4362]

honestly this feels natural to me. I can stutter while smiling and looking somewhat poised. being socially awkward doesn't mean you're necessarily fearful or sad (all the time). you can be relaxed and your speech is still quiet and stuttery and like a train of thought. being happy to talk to people and being confident in your hobbies and what you like while being socially awkward but not letting it bother you. it's nice!

[@jamilklamsi8244]

His voice acting is pretty solid, shame they couldn't have given him better equipment. Edit: I've now seen more of this show and I take it all back, Its more than just shoddy equipment.

[@ambuknight1567]

Or tell him how to be his character. If anything the dude is not at fault it's the crews fault for not seeing or careing for the quality check

[@stabbykinz1446]

Eh, it's...it's not the worst, not by a long shot. I think with direction and a re-do of the scene's animation for his character, it would line up a lot better. He just needed a lot more guidance to make up for the inexperience.

[@oprime]

Who knows? Maybe because of covid they couldn't come in so they had to record via cellphone or laptop(neither known for their mics) but the audio mixing just says that they rushed the audio and the audio person was told to make the music louder by the director who didn't know how things are supposed to sound.
