It's a rather large difference.

The rest of your post is, just like that, full of over-emotional hyperbole.

No one ever talked about "master races" (lol, could you pull any more of a strawman argument?). No one ever said that Americans can't do "good" voice acting.


You know, it's weird...i actually thought you were smart enough to detect sarcasm through hyperbole. My mistake! How silly of me. :D

I think he did.

as a big fan of musical theater as well as having been an actor for both mediums (theater/voice acting), that is where i draw the line. if you honestly think voice acting is the most intense of all forms of acting, then you are either:

a) extremely biased
b) don't know what the heck you're talking about.
c) all of the above

i'm gonna call this c. Voice actors probably have it the easiest out of ANY form of acting; the lines are all right in front of them. The characters perform all of the actions for the actor. They are not preoccupied with what they're doing. If they do their line with the wrong inflection, the director points them out as soon as they do it.

In theater, however, you memorize every. single. line. all of them. You as the actor must remember the actions/inflections given to you by your director in order to convey the message across. And sometimes, you even have to dance and sing at the same time. And the dancing may be extremely intense. It may look easy, but trust me, it is an extremely difficult thing to do without sounding out-of-breath at the same time, and i applaud the broadway actors and actresses who do that on a daily basis.

If you still don't get it, I suggest you go watch some West Side Story/Rent/Gypsy or something and get back to me on that opinion. (and if you happen to look up gypsy, look up the cast with bernadette peters! i saw her live years ago when she played the mom and she was phenomenal.)

if you still feel the same way after that, then have fun being easily offended by people and misinterpreting everything they say! i'm sure you're having loads of it already! :D
