>Bodyswap episode, but every character retains their voice and some distinct detail of their former selves.
They always do this! While I understand that it is done in order to avoid confusion it doesn't make it less stupid. I'd be fine with them keeping some minute detail like eye colour, but vocal chords? Wildest thing is that no other character ever notices the voice/apearance change!

its a brain just watch your cartoon off and turn
Luke Carter
It’s a shame since, as someone else pointed out, it’s a good way for actors to show off their acting chops.
Gavin Cook
Clearly, you should turn yours on. Besides, there's only so much disbelief I can suspend.
Josiah Butler
I feel the same way, but there are two probable reasons why vocal cords are almost always swapped:
1) Like you said, it keeps the audience from becoming confused about which character is which.
2) The actors aren’t skilled enough to emulate a different character, so it’s easier for everyone involved in the recording process (actors, voice directors, editors) to just keep all actors assigned to their usual characters.
But I will say that I love when visual cues are tweaked to each character’s design. Pic related and the swapped facial details in “Once Upon a Swap” are always fun to see.
I desperately want to fuck Eda, hnnnghhh
John Lopez
I want to fuck that bee

It would be so nice to see each VA doing their interpretation of the other VA's performance. Best depiction I've seen of the trope was in Farscape, which involves two puppet characters, so it's like 10% Yas Forums.

>The actors aren’t skilled enough to emulate a different character
Aren't actors just reading a script which was given to them by the screen/dialogue writers? Expressing emotions of different characters isn't that difficult, especialy if it's literally your job and even if actors for some reason had trouble staying true to the character it's possible to play it off as host's body influencing character that inhabits it to act in a way it's "supposed to".
Ayden Anderson
Harvey Beaks did bodyswapping correctly (original kept voice AND appearance and had the actors imitate each others' delivery), what other instances are there? It feels like it's much more common to get it wrong
Oliver Carter
It’s sad only Steven Universe lately has done this right. Keeping the same VAs but changing body language and tone.
Henry Foster
Yeah, not getting ripped to shreds must really suck.
Jayden Martin

Yeah, I know. It's Yas Forums. And yes, I know, it's Fairy Tail, but this is pretty mcuh what people want, right?
Chase Butler
Would anyone have fucked Eda King?
Julian Green
Which is why it pisses me off that very few cartoons ever allow it to happen. If these actors really aren’t able to pretend to be a different character for ONE EPISODE, then they’re pretty shit at their job.
Kudos to Matthew Moy for accurately mimicking Steven Prime’s childish goofiness.
Jace Phillips
>no scene of a girl checking out how big a guys junk is and going "called it!" waiting to gossip with her friends.
Ryan Roberts
> If these actors really aren’t able to pretend to be a different character for ONE EPISODE, then they’re pretty shit at their job.
I think it's would be pretty excusable. It only becomes bad if they keep messing it up in multiple episodes.
Jack Jones
Now this was a bodyswap performance.
Colton Nelson
I’d rather not answer that question...
Zachary Foster
It's frighting how much some eye lashes could do. Damn.
Jayden Hill
Transformers rescue bots did it right
Elijah Gray
That's actually something someone would totally do if they were swapped with someone of a different sex.
Christopher Carter
Harvey Beaks had a body swapping episode? Why don’t I remember that?
Carter Miller
Excuse me sir but this is a no "Steven Universe" thread, I must ask you to go with us.
Xavier Edwards
They used magic and replaced the eyes already. How is replacing vocal cords such a stretch?
Jose Hernandez

Jeremiah Martin
I know it's not Yas Forums, but Stargate SG1 did it really well in two ways, on two separate occasions.
First time it happened, all actors put in the accents/inflections of other characters, and did it really well.
The other time, we - the viewers - would see the actor who plays the 'mind' inside the body, simply wearing a different costume. But in every scene that was showing somebody else's point of view, or through the lens of a camera, it would show the body's actor.
Adam Perez
Yeah, Harvey and Princess switched bodies. It was early season 2 IIRC
Landon Lee
Justice League Unlimited did it correctly.
Rosenbaum got to play two versions of Lex Luthor and I will always love that.
Carson Roberts
Thanks. Been a while since I last saw the show. I should give it a rewatch.
Asher Gomez
Too bad that ep was shit otherwise. Season 3 was truly the beginning of the end for the show.
Dominic Jones
I offer a third reason.
The writers aren't good enough to transfer a character's inflections to someone else.
Austin Thomas
Eda's personality was barely any different from King. It was such a shitty personality swap. And King had a lot of moments that sounded like things Luz would've said.
Luz as Eda was the only one that felt distinct.
Nathaniel Taylor
The only cartoon that I can think of that kept the voices in a body swap was Peppee Ann: My Mother, My Self.
Luis Lee
I stand corrected
Christian Baker

Eli Hughes

another one with vocal retaining
Jaxson Roberts
Though they probably could have done it better, I feel like Eda and King were bound to be similar. Both aren't terribly altruistic people.

Kino way of doing it.

Whether or not a body swap episode has changed voices depends on the target audience. 6-11? Changed voices. A little older? No changed voices.
Ryder Roberts
Gravity Falls did it for one moment. Ford's VA made himself really gruff and Hirsch inflected his tone to sound more dramatic
Evan Ortiz
This is the biggest reason why you don't see bodyswap episodes "keep" voices. Using the same exact voice of one character while at the same time keeping the inflections and mannerism of another character is harder then it sounds.
Isaiah Rogers
Any alternative body swap fanart about
Eda to Luz
Luz to King
King to Eda
Lincoln Williams
King would have
Kayden Ross
forgive me for being an Yas Forumsnus, but
Another superior body swap episode:
thewatchcartoononline.tv
Angel Howard
I think Alex could easily do Luz's voice, but the gilf that plays Eda would strain to imitate King, and I think Luz's VA is an actual kid who'd struggle sounding like Eda.
Also having imitations like that is confusing when its a 3+ way bodyswap
William Butler
just bee yourself
Ryan Gray
Both King and Eda are lazy bums, the only real difference being that King wants to be worshiped and Eda wants to scam you
Dylan Garcia
It annoys me in any body swap episode where a male character doesnt acknowledge his lack of penis or the two sandbags on his chist.
Nathaniel Bell
I really just don't understand the problem with this. And the sheer arrogance of having one way be the "correct" way when it is entirely up to the people making the episode is really just driving how much of an autistic obsession this sort of is.
I mean for fuck sake it's just voices what is the big deal?
What if the actors just didn't want to do impressions? What if they CAN'T do impressions?
Why should every cartoon do it in this style instead of whatever the fuck the creator actually WANTS to do? People only ever give the reasons of "its more realistic" which is varying levels of retarded depending on the show, and "the voices actors should just do it because I say they should" You aren't the one paying them so you dont' get to decide.
Criticize it all you want sure but fuck me are these sort of threads whiny.
Levi Perez
you are on a mongolian throat singing forum for cartoons. NO SHIT its gonna be whiny
Angel Price
I know I know but threads like these always feel particularly whiny, moreso then what is normal for this board.
Still, better then another falseflag bait thread. And at least all of these opinions are genuine to the people who hold them and not just bait for replies. To each their own and all that shit
Austin Cooper
To get a little Yas Forums in here, Jojo's Golden Wind. Shit was really impressive in the sub, waiting to see how the dub plays it out.
Ayden Robinson
First off, you’ve got the swaps all wrong. Alex would’ve had to imitate Eda, Sarah-Nicole Robles would’ve had to imitate King, and Wendie Malick would’ve had to imitate Luz.
Second, those three-way imitations wouldn’t be so confusing so long as the three characters each have clear, distinct personalities, mannerisms, and body language that we’re already used to. I’d like to believe most audiences would be able to pick up on who’s who pretty easily if clear writing could make up for characters that are acting like someone else.

It's hard to do this with more than a two-way swap in a show for little kids. SU demands more of its audience, whether you think it sucks or not.
