Live action or Voice over

Howdy y'all, been a while (too much turkey).  

So I was watching a documentary on some animated movie one day and the question came to me.  When it comes to making animated movies, would you rather choose an actor that knows how to do live action or have a voice over artist.

Most people think that a certain actor would be great for a certain character, but what I was thinking was Live action artists are good with showing emotion with their actions but not voice. 

For example, Bruce Willis, awesome in Die Hard, but awful in Over the Hedge as that raccoon.  He didn't have that spark in his voice.  

Same way for voice actors, not too good with live acting.

If you got an example, of some good live actors doing voice overs, send them in.

Hey I found an awesome way to make the sound of a pig. Try it step by step.

1. Take a deep breath

2. While air goes through, tighten your throat to make a type of epiglottal flap

3. During that, you mouth quickly "ooooooooo-eeeeeeeee" to raise the pitch 

Have fun with it

Election Day is Finally OVA

I don't know about y'all but I am pooped from this election.  I am just glad it's over.  Here's is a song about my favorite candidate (click the title).

Vocal tips and a Random Video

So, for those who are planning to do any type of speech or singing, I was told by a voice teacher that drinking any type of dairy is bad. The dairy contains chemicals that can create a sticky film over the epiglottis (the area where the nose and mouth connect) to hinder any air to blow over the vocal chords. I have to be very careful when I do performances, other wise I get a hocka loogie.

Altercations to Voice Nuh-uh!!

The other night, I discovered that some voice actors have to do physical things to their voice for the results they want.  For example, Tom Kenny (Spongebob) when doing the laugh would pinch his throat and wiggle it.  Just think of some other ways you can alter your voice and send in some.
