    Talking about Steve Blum's performance as Spike Spiegel and his uncanny ability to "emote without emoting" is what's called a "grounded performance." It's something that a lot of actors struggle to learn but gaining that ability to give an "honest" performance adds a whole new level of humanity to your acting.

    I personally love Handsome Jack's final lines before his death so much because he really was the little guy at the bottom of the ladder when he was younger. Shown to be abused by his grandmother as a kid, more than likely bullied by dozens of people because he'd never make it to the top. Fast forward years, he's the CEO of a multi million dollar company, wanting to clear out the entire planet of Pandora of bandits to make it a better place, something that he genuinely believes that it is the right thing to do - and he *lost*. Just as he said, "You are a bandit, and I, am the god damn HERO!"

    Fun fact: Liam O'Brien and Ashley Johnson both play in the most famous D&D stream ever, Critical Role. Ashley doesn't get too deep into character in the first season, but you can really see Liam diving into the minds of his characters. It almost feels like he's living his characters and their turmoils. This is noticeable in the first season, but in the second season, he manages to make his performance more visceral, while keeping it under a tighter leash, vocally. A very quiet, yet intense performance. It's kinda brilliant.

      People hate on dubs because they have a preference. There is really no point to spending energy being bothered by people disliking dubs. That's like getting actually upset about iPhone fans downtalking Android users. I watch very few anime English dub as the voice acting doesn't always feel natural to the show. Some however, are done pretty well (DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho, Konosuba, etc). Others don't always feel the same way. You having a disability doesn't mean anything negative about you, but honestly why would that impact someone criticizing dubs at all? Your having one doesn't mean that I won't stop having issues with the voice acting of some shows. But I will say the actual lack of understanding Japanese can be a reason why some prefer dub. When you don't understand the language, it's harder to distinguish bad VA.

    When I was in university studying animation we had the legendary Tom Sito come and do a speech for all of us. He worked on the first Shrek movie and I remember him saying that during the early stages they were playing around with how Donkey would escape the dragon and Tom himself said that he imagines someone like Ed Murphy would get out of situations like this by trying to talk his way out. One thing led to another and in the end the whole donkey and dragon romance came to be because Tom Sito thought about the voice actors abilities and worked it into the story accordingly!

      @Trevor Houff i think they were intended to be like that, if you're trying to force yourself to do better then you end up forcing the players hand. The reason handsome jack was so good is because we didn't want to kill him. We loved him. The twins are a direct perpendicular and we want to kill them. The script writers knew they couldn't do better. So they did worse, and by doing that the Calypso twins are a garbage masterpiece of character development

That show no empathy for anyone that have no real reason anyone of sane mind would be able to sympathize with them. I think their development over the game was good as evil characters. They just got more menacing and stronger. And as more characters died the story went on you just kept losing hope is things just kept getting worse until the very end when you finally bring them down with the only way to truly stop them being sacrifice.

"Monster" kind of restored my faith in anime, to be honest--like there are still mature stories being told out there. And the dub was top-notch, you can tell everyone involved really cared about doing the project justice.

      most dubs sound bad because of the linguistic differences between japanese and english. lines that sound fine in Japanese can simply sound weird or forced/melodramatic when translated to english. couple that alongside the fact that theyre trying to sync the dub with the mouth movements of the characters too.

    8:28 okay, so this is one of those things that is *so* easily overlooked and I feel like it needs a mention. The "total bitch" line is obviously meant to have a sort of deadpan delivery, but what most people would have done is just do it straight, cut right to the deadpan and pull the rug out. But what actually happens here is so much better - Handsome Jack himself, as a character, wants to do the deadpan delivery but is so goddamn amused with himself from the story he just told that he can't quite do it. You can hear that he's still smiling, his posture is relaxed, and he couldn't conjure up a fuck to give about you if someone had a gun to his head. It does such an amazing job of keeping in character and selling the other lines that came before it.

I felt it much more like either a character lummox walking in, or a spoiled rich kid who knows he's untouchable. Only when it shows him choking someone it felt like danger to me.
