'Real' actors? Fail. Try doing a little research lest you make secrets like these that showcase how utterly ignorant and obnoxious you sound. =\

Facts:

- 3 beep method: Used by Disney and TV Anime dubs. Not sure what you were getting at here unless you never bothered to check the special features.

- Most anime dub actors have had or still do stage work. They do voice work because they enjoy it, because it sure as hell isn't for the money.

- If it sounds 'artificial' to you, thank the Japanese execs who approved it. The dub has to meet their standards, or it doesn't get put on the air.

- I love most of the Ghibli dubs, believe it or not--but there are some instances where the voices did not fit. Considering the comparatively lax schedule they have to do these dubs, I find that strange, but then there's also the fact that they will sometimes hire big names just to draw in crowds.

- Speaking of the deadlines--tell me, how much easier is it to do lines for a 90-120 minute movie as compared to...a series that spans over 100 episodes and has to be ready by the time a Network demands it for airing?

Research. Please do some. But please do not insinuate that some of the most hard-working and talented people I know are not 'real' actors.
