Woohoo, official off-topic thread!

More importantly... who cares?

I used to seriously consider voice acting as a career, but then I realised I was too lazy and shitty.

Which reminds me this one time when we had a field trip to a place where they dub anime, and when it was my turn to voice Naruto it turned out really corny.

I haven't seen or heard from MM in like, a week.

What do you actually have to do to become a voice actor?

I've been too lazy to find out or something.

I really honestly need to do voice acting when I move. When I worked at Six Flags I was always assigned to the less shitty rides simply because I sounded the most kick-ass on the ride speakers. People thought my voice was the automated sound clip.

Yes you seriously do.

I have all the vocal versatility of mute. 🙁

Stfu. Get back in your cage.

But seriously, my voice SUCKS.

I doubt this.

I have a decent voice, but not much range and I can't really do anything with it (I can't imitate accents or anything). So voice acting isn't something I'm too interested in myself.

I have plenty of range and am somewhat on the side of... what's the word... melodramatique. I've actually put a decent amount of study into how the mouth forms sounds, and what causes the various accents of the world so I can better imitate them. Around here at least, I can thoroughly convince people I'm from Britain, Scotland, or New York, or that I've lived in Texas all my life. German, Indian, and Middle Eastern are out only because I don't look it.

*snickers*

That may be a bit of an understatement.

I have good range, and can form a convincing German accent, studying the language for a while helps, though I am not nearly fluent in it.

The field is articulatory phonetics, the subfield of linguistics dealing with the physical production of sounds. There's a good variety of documents online, particularly on the position of the tongue, which is absolutely vital in imitating accents. An Irish accent, I have found, is almost entirely based on a different "standard" tongue position while speaking.

Can't you guys talk about something interesting. Like, me?

Also, Blax, stfu.

So how many of you can do a decent Stallone or Schwarzenegger?
