deeply embarrassing and terrible that one of the most straightforward ways to make connections happen and doors open for yourself is to not only put yourself out there but also to actively ask. gross. hate that taking the first step to make something happen more often than not actually works

Voice actors are NOT the same as actors.
It takes a specific kind of skill-set and training to be able to warp and meld the voice. It takes a certain kind of talent and dedication to hone that talent into the ability to meld the voice and invoke emotion with one's voice alone. Actors are used to using their voice secondarily to their body language and their facial expressions. It's all mirrored back on camera. They do have nuance. But it's a different kind of nuance and a different kind of training to produce that nuance.
Voice actors might get their likeness transposed on their character's design, and maybe their mannerisms might seep into the character's animation. But when it's all said and done: their presence is in their voice. They are bringing a character to life, showing that emotion in their voice, trying to keep a specific accent, drawl, pitch, tone in that voice and keep it consistent for their recording sessions.
The voice actor is like a classically trained musician who can play first chair in a competitive, world-renown orchestra. The actor (who fills the voice actor's role) is like a moot who played violin in beginner and intermediate high school orchestra and thinks they can get into Juilliard with that 2-4 years of experience.
This doesn't mean that the HS orchestra moot can't play. They can even be really good at it. Maybe they won competitions and sat first chair. But they are not in the same league as the person who's been training their whole lives and lives and breathes to hone their craft using the instrument and all of the training they've ever acquired to perfect it. They are not meant for the same roles. They are not in the same caliber. You do not hire the HS equivalent when you want to play complex music in a competitive orchestra.
Actors are not the same as voice actors.
And furthermore, actors - especially big name actors - taking the roles of animated characters for big budget films or TV pilots makes no sense anyways when - at least in the case of TV pilots - there's not a point to hiring a big budget actors anyways. That money could be used elsewhere (like paying your animators), and the talent that is brought onto the screen for X character could then be hired on to voice said character no recasting required.
I wouldn't say voice acting as a profession is in danger exactly, but it's certainly being disrespected and overlooked for celebrity clout, and this has ALWAYS been an issue. Shoot, even Robin Williams knew that much - which is why he tried so hard not to be used as a marketing chess piece for Aladdin and got royally pissed off when it happened anyways. People shouldn't go to any movie (but especially not animated films) because "oh famous actor is in it". People should go because it's a good movie and the voice acting is good.
People who honest to god think that voice actors are replaceable because "oh well anyone can voice act" or "I like xyz celebrity so naturally it'll be good" ... Honestly I just wish you'd reassess your priorities because you're missing the point and are part of the problem.
Voice Actors ≠ Actors.

imagining having two subs; one tied down to something so they can't move at all, and one restrained but still available for me to move around. i'd make the tied down sub watch as i tease and play with the other sub until it's nothing but a mindless toy. just forcing the tied down sub watch the others sub's mind melt and know that's what i'm going to do to them next.
then id remove my toys restraints and order them to get on all fours directly in front of the tied down sub. make the sub watch me fuck all the brains out of my dumb mindless toy until they're drooling and cumming all over themselves and the other sub. by the end of the show, the restrained sub would be so turned on that they would be begging to get fucked stupid, turned into a toy like their companion

I have had to make so many of these posts this year...
Yeah, I desperately need help with money again. It's not as insane as last month, but it's still... not great. The bullet points:
I haven't worked at my regular job since February
my current employer approved my medical leave but the state keeps giving me the runaround with paperwork regarding getting any money while I'm out of work I have sent in my paperwork to the state, and now they will take “several weeks” to decide if they’re going to pay me for short term disability
I get $25 a week from my current employer - I don't see a single penny because it all goes to taxes before it hits my account
I DoorDash as much as I can, but it barely pays for its own gas let alone bills, and I'm so burnt out every single day
I am actively applying for (less physical) jobs but because of my lack of office experience I'm either not getting a response at all or I'm getting rejected after one or two interviews
I have an appointment with my cardiologist tomorrow, hopefully I will have a clearer timeline than what I've had so far
currently I am not returning to work until the last week of June, but that will most likely change and I'm terrified it's going to be later than that
according to my cardiologist, I will be out of work until at least August 2024, she is encouraging me to apply for permanent disability benefits as it is becoming too hard on my body to do any kind of work
the first ~$400 will go toward paying rent this month, everything else will go toward getting my other account out of the red again and gas
How you can help:
paypal
etsy shop
venmo: amwallace95
reblog this to help spread the word! (please)
so far:

me writing hundreds of thousands of words for fanfic: :) yippee fun haha
me when a job application asks me to describe myself in three words: what is english if not a farce? is language real, is anything real? does perception create reality, or does reality create perception? what secrets lie in the heart of man?

pupupu train metasusie redraw that i don't know if i'll ever finish
this was initially going to be another artist study (specifically workflow) but i got real lazy real fast, i think there's a prev post where i colored & drew some details on the pocket watches but since then i've redone a significant portion of this as i generally didn't vibe with it & still kind of don't, especially the lapels & shirt collars
anyways now you know mk has slit pupils coming out of his mask in my current draft of him‼️‼️‼️ (i don't know if i'll keep that in the future i just thought it made him look better, all of this was experimental)
