CATDOLL: CV of the protagonist of "Porco Rosso": Today's voice actors have no characteristics and will be replaced by machines sooner or later

When talking about the soul of anime characters, the profession of voice actor cannot be ignored. The author gives the character an image, and the voice actor gives the character a soul. Even under the same setting, the same character performed by different voice actors can be very different.

As for the ability of new voice actors in recent years, Zhou Shuji Moriyama, who once dubbed the protagonist Porco Rosso in the Ghibli animation "Porco Rosso", said: Although there are many skilled young people in the younger generation of voice actors, everyone's voice is stereotyped. The voice actor training centers everywhere are the root of all evil. The voices of young voice actors now have no personality and no characteristics . In the animation, no matter what role or which young voice actor, the voice sounds the same. Whether the acting is poor, the voice is interesting, or the voice is strange, as a voice actor, you must be able to put yourself into the role. Hayao Miyazaki does not use professional voice actors to dub now, and I don't consider myself a voice actor now. Now Hollywood is developing technology that allows AI to dub, just like CG technology. If this technology matures one day, then the so-called voice actors with excellent acting skills will no longer be needed. Only voices with their own personal characteristics can survive in this industry.

So do you think the current voice acting industry is as what Moriyama Shuichi said? If all animation dubbing is done by machines in the future, will it be better than the current real-life acting?
