I was talking about the voice acting

professional western voice actors are really bad at their job for the most part

It's specifically an American thing. Even Canadians have better voice acting than Americans.

Traditionally most American voice actors were TV actors, so they had a wider range in their craft and could give regular performances which could vary in quality depending on the script but sounded much more natural, whereas VA's are mostly comprised of people who have done voice acting mostly for youtube meme projects or other Internet shit

This, other countries had decades of dubbing US media under their belt (and japanese for France and Spain, when they found out you could buy anime license for incredibly cheap by the truckload), so professional voice acting has been substantially developed in Europe, whereas to this day the USA just pick celebrities and regular actors to do voice acting.

Even my third-world country has quality dubs(they just cast TV actors who actually fit the roles) but the US is stuck between two extremes, big-name celebrities who probably eat up half the budget and youTube e-celebs.

Actors being good at voice acting isnt exactly unexpected, being very closely related to their main job.

"zero voice acting experience" sounds like ##SCAB## VAs to me

Oh no I forgot to mention but the problem isn't even actors, most of the time it's the actual dubbing process with the direction of the acting, now that's the real amateur hour

From what I heard lots of dubs in the past were done with no direction whatsoever, voice actor would just be given their lines and told to read them into the microphone.

That is why the quality of the dubbing could vary widely, for instance you could end up with a group of unemployed actors from North Carolina dubbing your anime.

Modern voice actors are closer to the SCABs, as they literally work for peanuts in exchange for 'exposure' while unionized actors are sidelined simply because it is cheaper to hire YouTubers and e-celebs.

scabs are a problem but they are a side effect of the reserve army of labor
