(Same anon from the voice canon)"Boy, if I had a nickel for every time I heard a Jason Momoa Muriel VC..." Now I'm imagining you rolling up $100 worth of nickels just from that, lol! That was my first time seeing a non-white person for Muriel's VC, most of the ones I've seen were white or "I need to sit on this for a minute".
Especially for me as a black woman, I'm tired of seeing white voice actors for non-white people and then having people not see a problem with that.
For the Lucio VC, you can blame the southerner (native Houstonian) in me for that one, lol! It sounded a little like an NJ accent to me, but then again because I'm not from the northern part of the states it's easy for me to mix them up.
No shame - New York and New Jersey accents have so much overlap, a lot of northerners get them confused, too 😂 Like I said, there are no “right” or “wrong” VCs (except the aforementioned white VAs for bipoc characters) - my personal standards are just very specific when it comes to voiceclaims.
(and yeah it’s probably close to $100 in nickels 😂 that, and the Disturbed cover of “Sound of Silence” - I think, as a fandom, we need to explore more diverse options in the Deep Voice arena ☕)
