My experience with Vic McNuggets was this:

He was on a panel with 4 other VAs of varying careers. One VA had just done a few voices in games, whereas another VA had done a LOT of voices for big projects for many decades, since the 1940s.

Two things bothered me:
1. It was a general "Voice Actors" panel, Q&A for all of the guests. McFilet kept monopolizing the panel, interrupting other guests (including the gentleman mentioned above, who has TONS of amazing experience in VA). You would ask one VA a question, and McNoying would respond/interject his 2 cents.

2. At the end McFlurry did stay to chitchat with fans, which is great! However I found it funny he barely acknowledged a young handicapped girl and yet really chatted up this young pretty girl. It was to the point that he turned his back to the handicapped girl to talk to the pretty girl for an obnoxious amount of time.

My thing is like... he's just a guy having fun with his job.

Yeah he monopolized panels sometimes, and yeah he's gotten a little too touchy with fans but I legitimately think it's just because he's really fucking excited to be a voice actor and have so many fans.

I lean more towards this opinion about him honestly. I think he's ridiculous, but that's what makes him who he is. It's hard to tell with so many Vic myths what's real or not. Obviously from the pictures, he's crossed the line a few times and being a diva with con staff is inexcusable. For some of the other stuff about him though, I think it's hilarious and he's in part of what's made the voice actor popularity boom the way that it does in western cons.

About "once voice" syndrome many VAs. have a wide range of voices that they have at their disposal however it is up to the anime's director on what voice they want to use. The reason why you hear VAs use their "normal voices" over and over again is they're being told to do so.

Also keep in mind that voice acting is more about expressing the proper emotions out as opposed to just having a huge range.

>> No.8095811

I remember going to a small local con a few years ago and Vic had a panel on Saturday and Sunday. His Saturday panel was mainly about all the VA work he has done and him talking about voice work he has done for anime, video games, cartoons, etc. The second panel on Sunday was about religion. The description of the panel was basically that you can come to this panel and pray and talk about god with Vic and other religious shit like that. I was 14 at the time and I was a huge fan of his so I ended up going to the panel anyways even though I wasn't religious.

Creating voices is a small fraction. It's not that you need a wide range of characters. Look at how screen actors can play different characters but still sound the same and that's because they change how they say lines, the emotions involved along with the speed and inflections. It is no different from voice actors with the exception is that a voice actor does can not use their body to aid in the portrayal of the character and relies on audio alone.

Changing your voice does help with playing more characters but its not as essential as just being a damn good actor

Im not sure if this counts but it's about Little Kuriboh and his most resent wife Marianne Miller

This was a couple years ago at a small con in MN (Im sure it wasnt Anime Expo)

I just remember going to the LK panel which already had a giant line 2 hours prier. It was just a Q and A really, but his wife happened to be there. LK was pretty funny, kind, and over all genuine. His wife seemed the opposite almost, I just remember her just being a huge bitch, the thing that really bugged me is if any thin girl or boy tried to leave she would signal them out (and not just super thin even average american thin) she would scream to "eat a sandwich" and every other she would say "Just kidding Im a fat ass" or something to justify it right as they left out the door
The panel ended up lasting 2 hours and I sat all the way through just so I wouldnt be signaled out.

she was just a horrible fat bitch in general, I heared guys outside mention how attractive she was, it just boggles my mind how so because she was pretty ugly on top of being a bitch, I guess guys like edgy girls

I've met Johhny Yong Bosch, Cristina Vee, Cassandra Lee Morris, and Matthew Mercer at this panel thing they did called Vox Reax.

They did a lot of cool stuff. In addition to regular Q&A stuff, they also did a musical Q&A, showed some dub bloopers, raided people's cell phones, and JYB broke some cinder blocks.

Johnny is super funny, and super nice and chill. While everyone was chilling waiting for the panel to go around, he walked up to me, shook my hand, and introduced himself. He did the same to everyone, but it was a really nice gesture.

Matt Mercer was awesome. He called my friend on the phone and asked him if he was wearing pants. My friend said yes, so he told him to come where we were with his pants on so that he could take his pants off and be pantsless with us.

Yea that was pretty cringeworthy. Alot of voice actors don't remember alot of the lines from their shows especially if it's been years since they've seen the show. They're not always as attached to the shows like we are. When we come up and express our gratitude for voicing "character A", the VA's just are baffled that something they spewed into the microphone many years ago had that much of an impact.

There are some dubs that are good! But most aren't, simply because the voice acting field in the US is pathetically easy to get into, vs the upkeep you're supposed to do as a VA in Japan. Japanese VAs are often also actors, comedians, or singers, etc.

Aside of a dub being good or not, there's are other reasons to watch them. You can multitask while watching a dub, whereas with subbed anime you have to pay close attention. Dubs are easier to watch with groups of people, and easier to watch for those with dyslexia.

Also you missed the best dub: Cromartie High School.

I don't know much about how the VO business is in Japan, but at least in the states, anime is almost always run on a very shoe-string budget, because it's more niche. Since they can't skimp on recording quality, that means that most anime are actually pushed out really quickly and that actors often don't find out who they're voicing or about their character until twenty minutes before they record. There are exceptions, particularly if the creator is more hands-on and wants to squeeze more from the performers, but that's generally the way it is in a lot of other VO genres like commercials, too. You get a very bare-bones audition, maybe get call-backs if they can afford to prolong the recording process, and then, if you're actually cast, are often forced to record in isolation without being able to see the full script. You're usually given the lines out of order, too, so it's up to you to give the lines the proper emotion, with the performance director as your only lifeline for context.

It's really hard to perform well in those conditions, especially if the director or production team on site don't give a shit. That's why the best voice actors are often the best improv actors, instead of the best theatre or film actors. I know Japanese productions usually record as an ensemble, which can make good performances easier to do. The only time that ever really happens in the states, on the other hand, is for American cartoons.

Vic was at Hal-con a couple of years ago, he had two panels. One for his VA, and another for his Star Trek stuff. For the most part he was very engaging, fun, and humble and grateful. HOWEVER. He spent like a half hour talking about his Christmas CD, and then went on to sing this batshit insane song about brotherly love that he had written about the Erich bros. While a fan vid played in the background. The Star Trek panel was supposed to start right after his VA panel, and all the audience members were supposed to vacate (all the Star Trek fans were lined up outside the room to get in). But he begged in a weird baby voice to let the VA audience stay and staff allowed them, so the Star Trek fans didn't get in.

I'd agree with you to some extent around 2001 but most dubs should really be viewed on a case by case basis. California dubs are pretty consistent since their cost of production and access to a wide pool of actors more or less ensures they get a good product. Funimation can be hit or miss but their hit dubs are pretty good. Sentai is a complete crapshoot.

It's dumb to have the same mentality about dubs that people did in the VHS era. There is consistently less bad Japanese acting in most anime but it still exists.

The year he got ban hammered at Metrocon.

> Ignored the con heads
> Set up autograph line without permission
> Did an impromptu concert when there wasn't one on the schedule
> While there was a party being thrown for him, he didn't bother to show up
> Scoot McNeil came with a bruised back and was a total bro the entire time
> Vic came after his concert, basically flipped off the person running the party, and then retreated to his room
> Apparently ordered expensive room service and charged it to the Metrocon budget, which nearly put them in the red
> Was a total diva the entire weekend
> Is not allowed to come back to Metrocon for his shit that he pulled that weekend.

There was this small con called Kin-yoobi con a while back that Vic was at. I heard he was famous so I checked out his panel.First he dispelled rumors about someone sliding yaoi under his hotel room door and him getting pissy, then he showed everyone his custom FMA iPhone thing and was talking about auctioning it on ebay.

Then some bitch said it was her birthday, so Vic wanted to sing happy birthday for her. Apparently though it was a hundred other chicks' birthday that month too, so he wrote down all their full names and sung to all of them.

He's nice! I am super shy but when I got an autograph from him he complimented my cosplay and dancing (we had a dance thing earlier) and he had a lot of great stories.

Just don't bring him anything bootlegged to sign because he will point it out, as he's very anti-bootleg. He won't do it in a mean spirited way but you might end up feeling like a bit of a heel.

The creator of cowboy bebop once said the dub was everything he imagined/superior to the original sub.
So don't be so quick to say it is something the creators did not intend.

I saw Vic Mignogna at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

When I met them they were both nice, Marianne seemed a bit reserved but I felt it was more due to LK's overwhelming fame compared to hers. It's a real shame about the whole Psy thing but I almost feel, especially with his personal issues, LK may have been too scared of being hated by his people for calling Psy out to say anything. I used t listen to Whachow back in the day and had to stop cause I grew to hate him quite fast.

I got a call one day from him, picked up the phone and it was Tara Strong on the other end. I started to cry because of how shocked I was.
I was on the phone with her for about 20 minutes just talking about voice acting, any advice she had since she came from the Toronto area (Canada), I told her she was my childhood when it came to voice talents and how much I really look up to her work. She was just an absolute sweet heart and a real pleasure to talk to. I would love to meet her in person.

I remember a few years ago hearing that Vic tried to get the Dealers room at Ikkicon shut down an hour early because it was right next to the room where his concert was and he didn't want anyone hearing him practice.

I assume they didn't do it but I never heard about whatever aftermath. I think the year before that, he just showed up to Ikkicon uninvited and tried to elbow his way into people's shit.

I've had run-ins with Caitlin Glass. She's really nice and fun to talk to.

First time was unexpected. It was at a Dinner Theater in Texas, and she had some lines spoken from outside the theatre. Saw her photo hanging by the door, but didn't register the face. I heard her lines, had an OH MY GOD moment, looked in the playbill and it said to catch her as Winry Rockbell on Toonami.

Second time was last A-Kon. I was Naked Snake and a friend was a genderbent Killer Bee Cammy. We were riding the elevator down, and hadn't noticed her in the corner. Partway down she asks if friend is Cammy, and asks why his cosplay "lacked buttfloss." Small talk ensued. Friend hadn't registered her; I explained that was Cammy's VA. Couple more encounters happened same day.

I think another time was a grocery store or something. Nothing fun.

LK is a nice guy. I feel really bad because he's depressed as much as he is. His wife is alright. A friend wanted a pic with him a few years back, and she was kinda scowling in the background. It was pretty funny since I saw that before I handed it over to said friend.

Allegations of years of molestation, lying to everyone, and faking apologies one too many times. There's a massive callout on Tumblr, a la Bill Cosby scandal.

Did Whachow and webcomics. Lot of coattailing. I think he's a nice guy, but fuck around where no one should, and got in way over his head. He handled it awkwardly. I feel bad since everyone has criminalized him, all things considered. I understand why it's important for folks to know he is the way he is, but gatdamn, if they weren't ready to crucify him. I doubt he'll go to cons for a good while.

Here's a good one. Greg is super flamboyantly gay, and really hates it when people use the word "faggot." But he'll use the word all the time himself.

So a bunch of people got 3DSs and changed their names to Greg Ayres, set their greeting to "I'm a faggot" and hung around by the green room where they knew he would be. Oh boy, did he get pissed.
