@tawnyplatis: Voice acting is inherently cringe. Nine times out of ten if you do not look completely ridiculously foolish you’re not doing it right. And so many people under the age of 30 are horrified of being perceived as cringe. Or just being perceived at all. Like the lack of expression I’m seeing in a lot of the younger people who are in voice acting classes right now is unlike anything I’ve seen in the 30 years I’ve been doing this. #animation #movies #voiceactor #voiceacting #tv
"cringe" is the death of culture. be cringe, be free. love you life, what you do, and the people who fill it.

Voice acting is acting. It's in the name.

Mark Hamill! The voice of the Joker in so many renditions, was so animated with his voice that animators would sometimes mimic his movements from the recordings in the animation.

Yes, it’s so sad. Kids are afraid of being posted online and getting bullied for it. As a music teacher I struggle to get them to take chances.

When I used to answer phones at a call center, I'd usually put a smile on my face before answering the phone. They could hear it in my voice, I could feel it in my reactions.

I have never thought of being still when it comes to voice acting. like the movement and expression is part of it and fun.

That would be like asking, “why are you smiling when you’re laughing?”

I even find myself changing the way I sit in my chair while playing different characters in my ttrpg sessions. I can definitely see why a voice actor would be gesticulating while recording

As a metal singer I can’t sit still while recording. How are you supposed to give a convincing performance if you’re not convinced yourself?

Aunty Tawny, did you just give us all a therapy session as well as reminding us that being truly expressive requires the entire body? Either way, this is such a powerful message and a stark warning. Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️

I truly hate that phrase "it's not that deep". I always want to say "for you, it's not that deep for YOU".
they don't get to decide how I react or feel about something.

Honestly, as a writer I catch myself making facial expressions to match my mood or the character as I write. Even in public when I try not to. Remember, everyone, if we suppress emotion it leads to depression. Let it out!

The biggest part of voice acting is ACTING. It’s why so many VAs have stage acting training beforehand. I’m so excited to be cringe in a booth one day, I love being cringe sm

My favourite thing I’ve heard about voice acting is “voice acting IS acting” if you were stiff as a board in a live action movie you’d be hearing about how bad your performance is the same logic applies to voice acting. As an aspiring voice actor and an actor I love this advice because I feel it.
