it's very simple
I like it or not

Monotone and over-enunciaton are pretty much universal.

You can easily tell somebody is bad at acting even if you can't understand what they are actually saying

I use my ears

It's like telling the difference between theatre and tv acting.

>>144842907
Every single japanese VA sound exactly the same, with the exception of Sugita.

>>144842907
Listen to the affect and the range of expression, as well as other added vocal traits. It's not really hard to tell what's bad.

Though of course you won't really be able to tell if a voice is cliched or whatever without experience.

Not OP, but could you guys give an example of bad voice acting in an anime? Just curious what you consider bad

>>144846867
>>144847287
Try listening to some hentai anime or low budget eroge voiceacting.

>>144847330
I guess I meant more general, accessible anime. Are there any performances in an anime you like that you consider bad?

>>144847287
Sorry but I can't really, I never really marked down when I hated something. It's only really happened a few times, but then again I haven't watched that many low budget anime.

>>144847454
Personally I hate Yuki Kaiji voice.

>>144847454
With the amount of talent they have available that's willing to work for next to nothing bad voicacting in anime pretty much never happens.
At worst you'll hear voices that sound amateur like the girls in Kitakubu except for Natsuki or Rento from C3-bu. It's not necessarily bad, but you can easily tell they didn't have the kind of training most Japanese VAs have.

To me there is a day light difference between the performance for the red head, which is good, and for the dark haired guy, who fails to convey who character is or should be.

You can't, which is why weebs prefer subs: so they don't have to admit that jp VA is just as bad as the english dub.

>>144842907
Well, you have ears don't you? That's like asking "how can you tell if foreign food tastes good?"

>>144847287
Flora, Asterisk S2. I don't know what they were thinking.

To be fair though, this is probably less an issue of skill and more an issue of the director asking for pure earcancer for some inexplicable reason.

>>144849841
"That's pretty good, but can you make your voice sound a little bit more forced?"

>>144842907
The same as any other voiceactor.
Now fuck off, /v/ermin.

>>144847287
MC of nobunagun was a novice and you could really tell.

Her inexperience almost made her cuter though.

>>144849841
They were thinking the same shit when they made 2 cour of that boring shit.

>>144847287
Bossun's sister from Sket Dance
Rento from C3-bu
Junichirou's sister from Denpa Kyoshi (caution: this anime is really really bad)

>>144847454
>>144847287
That one girl from JK Meshi.

There's also that one girl from Urawa Usagi-something. Probably a casting mismatch, but I feel she could have done better to fit the role. When you hear her, you will know.

In general, AKB48 member are bad voice actresses.

>>144842907
By being a turbo weeb and mindlessly thinking jap VA > gaijin VA

>>144852145
The good old circlejerk cast of American voice acting where range is irrelevant, over emphasizing everything is natural and you never be afraid to just shout your lines regardless of the context of the scene

I know, it's bullshit. Just posting the one I found on youtube so I can timestamp it easily.
This girl seriously doesn't sound like she's actually surprised or panicked, it sounds like the voice actress didn't give a shit and just read the script out loud without immersing herself in the situation. This is honestly one of the very few times in all my years of watching anime that voice acting has just sounded like really bad acting to me.

>Glorious Nippon
>Bad acting

Literally impossible

North Kaio in DBS

doesn't help that the VA is senile as fuck

>>144842907
you dant, thats why people pretend subs are better.

>>144847454
the sister in denpa kyoushi

>>144847287
DBZ, original pokemon

>>144842907
Most japanese VA is just as bad as English, but we don't understand the language so it's just not as grating.

The overemphasis on random words and an inability to emote properly are consistent no matter which language you choose. They're just inferior to real actors.

>>144847287
MC from ERASED
Early Frejya from Macross Delta
Maya from Fafner

>but we don't understand the language

Someone will keep on posting this in spite of so many examples already posted. People who lack the capacity to discriminate voice acting should not have opinions.

It fit her character, ironically. Also underrated OP that show had. It was fun.
