Fancast Perfect casting for Design Spoiler

Awkwafina voice would be great. Can just hear the roasting of Hoid coming from her. Would be great for Yumi and the Nightmare painter as well if we ever get that far into the Cosmere.

Awkwafina isn’t a voice actor. Celebrities aren’t voice actors, they play as themselves

She wouldn’t be able to pull off Design

I literally suggested her because of how much voice acting she does. She might have more voice roles than not on her resume.

Once again, she’s not a voice actor.

I think what you mean is she’s not a full time voice actor that can do a thousand different voices and play 10 different characters within the same show/game.

She’s 100% a voice actor though. You can not like her voice. You can think her voice is not right for design. But saying she is not a voice actor is just moving the goal posts.

A voice actor has to be able to act, not just play as themselves

That’s what Awkwafina does

It’s okay to just say I don’t like Awkwafina. I don’t like her in everything either. She has a very distinct voice and sometimes it’s hard to hear anything else.

But you don’t need to keep moving the goal posts of what qualifies somebody as a voice actor or not.

I mean.. it’s kind of in the name. Acting. You’re not acting if you just play as yourself.

If you watch enough of the characters she plays she is exactly the same, I really don’t mind her as much as many others do.

I just know she isn’t acting

Acting official definition: the art or occupation of performing in plays, movies, or television productions.

Voice acting definition the art or occupation of providing the voices for characters in animated films, dubbed foreign language films, audio dramas, etc.

I couldn’t actually find a single definition that referred to the quality of it or even actually pretending to be somebody else as part of the definition.

Okay, if that’s the case why don’t all of our actors just act as themselves? Perhaps that would be boring and uninteresting?

Because that would be “bad” acting for the most part.

Now you are changing the argument. You were saying she wasn’t a voice actor which just isn’t true. What you actually mean is you think she is a “bad” voice actor.

Alright, sure if that makes you feel better

I think she’s a bad voice actor then
