| Topic | I'm finding Japanese voice acting more and more grating the older I get |
| xGhostchantx 11/01/22 9:18:12 PM #27: | St0rmFury posted... I read somewhere that Japanese media has strong roots in kabuki theater which explains their over the top acting. This is it exactly, and it's not restricted to Japan: if you go see any theatre shows, you're going to experience the same thing -- dramatized overacting. The reason is because back in the day, there were no PAs and there were no big screens to see them on. Acting like that is still a mark of prestige for theatre actors, it's a completely different world to screen acting. It still exists in the west, and is still present in western animation but to a lesser degree. Nobody in Dexter's Lab or Jimmy Neutron sounds like any real person would sound like having a conversation; nor do Goku or Luffy. --- You haven't set a signature for the message boards yet ...
