People seem to get Voice Acting confused with just Voices. Ego can do a tonne of voices, but he cant act for shit. What good are voices when there is no personality or drive behind it. None. And thats why he fails, i can make a bunch of voices too, but that doesnt make me a good voice actor.

You making the same point I tried to make, with a different conclusion. I DO think he can emote well, and he delivers his shitty lines as best as they could be. Or so I find.

Bad - Cam Clarke (pro) Kagome Tomamoto

Good - Billy West (pro) Rtil Andy Dennis

All these people consistently use the same voice, and yet some can emote very well, and some not at all. Andy Dennis and Billy West actually CAN diversify, I'm sure Rtil could too, but I havn't heard it. They just rarely do.

That's what I'm trying to say. Some people can just get the point of the lines across, and some lose the point in the act of trying to sound cool or whatever.

he reminds me of medium budget anime dubbing.

ANYWAY!

of course Mel Blanc was good. LIsten to Sylvester and Daffy though, they're very similar. Apparently that was more or less his real voice.
