I thought I would bring up a conversation on voice acting for animation, seemed like a good idea for it anyways. Now I cant seem to find the video but I found a video where a few voice actors who voiced for animation gave their thoughts to Celebrities doing the voice acting in animated films for the cinemas. Now I began to think about it for awhile now, would you say that Celebrities are running out the chances for someone in the animation field to voice act in an animated film? By all means I only know that there are a few good animated films that use celebrities but most of the time they are just hiring them for the cash{dreamworks is obviously a good example of this}. Although Pixar does it as well, but however they look for talent for it. Heck Rob Zombie's El superbeasto had famous people voice acting, although it did have a few voice actors from the animation field voicing minor characters in the film(Havent watched the film in awhile, but I do remember seeing Rob Paulsen's name in the credits}.
Actual voice acting has talent in some ways that are good, but mostly celebrities voice acting doesnt seem to find its way in the right places. I'm not agaisnt celebrities voice acting, but I find it pointless if the character sounds just like the actor which depending on what the character design is I find no fun at. But there are times where a Celebrity's voice acting may be either good or bad. Like for example Vincent Price voices Ratigan, am I the only one who thought this was the right move? Actual voice actors still have work for tv and video games in most cases, but cant say anything about film. So what do u think? Do you prefer voice acting from celebrities or people from the animation field?
