Anyone else getting sick of cartoon creators voicing the main characters of their shows? It comes across as incredibly lazy, showing that you are better than the others for voicing the main lead or that you had to self-insert you into your own cartoons.
2010s cartoons were infamous for this, almost every cartoon had the creator voicing the main lead.

Imagine self-inserting as Mordecai lol
That's literally what JG Quintel did, his voice for Mordecai is his natural voice.
>lazy
who knows and and feels a character better than its own creator?
cost cutting
we learned from simpsons
It works well when they're talented. The little boy in the new TECHNOLOGY BAD Disney movie could be much better with a better voice actor. They mostly do a great job like in Mao Mao.
>2010s cartoons were infamous for this, almost every cartoon had the creator voicing the main lead.
I can only think of Flapjack and Regular Show. Name some others.
>Problem Solverz
>Secret Mountain Fort Awesome
>Clarence
>Uncle Grandpa
>Rick & Morty
>Welcome to the Wayne
>Billy Dilley
>The Jellies
>Mao Mao
Just at the top of my head, not to mention shows where the creator voices a major supporting character like in Gravity Falls and OK KO.
lol no fuck off, it's literally just voice acting
bait thread
This is why everyone hates zoomers, 90s cartoons barely had self-inserts like this blatant shit the 2010s did. The only big cartoon that did this was Ren & Stimpy.
I highly encourage it. If someone was able to successfully sell a show to a network (possibly with some minor experience doing voices for temp tracks on other shows in the past), then they should be more than capable of voicing at least ONE main or supporting character in their own show. Said character doesn’t necessarily have to be a self-insert, but it’d make sense for it to be since most cartoons come from the creator’s childhood experiences (e.g. Gravity Falls, OK K.O.!, etc.). Voicing a recurring character in your own show not only makes production go a little smoother since one of the VAs will always be in the studio, but it also gives you a second paycheck and even future opportunities doing voices on other productions.
What said, as well as:

>Tarantula
>Final Space
>Summer Camp Island*

>Victor and Valentino

>Duncanville
>Tig n’ Seek
* = not the main lead, but an important side character

I’m trying to be subtle about telling him to fuck off, but it’s starting to drive me crazy.
It's pretty based actually. It's no coincidence they're usually some of the best voice work on the cast. Hirsch killed it.
yeah, because I don't care...that was the point of the gif
I know sometimes I can come off as petty and have manchildren demands for stupid movies and media, but I woner if I ever said something so weirdly specific as this.
is like complaining off too many characters having black pupils or something is so random
Don't forget Mike Judge voices Beavis, Butthead, and Hank Hill.
Yeah, but I thought we were mainly talking about 2010s cartoons.
No. It's only ever a problem if the VA is bad or poorly fits the character in question. I can't imagine anyone other than JG Quintel voicing Mordecai, for example.
What are some examples of show creators who were BAD at voice acting?
>All those Cartoon Network example
What happened? Are they so creatively bankrupt or do they want to save money?
I never really thought about it, I suppose it really depends on if they are good at it. Like if they can voice act what does it matter?
One of the many reasons why I don't bother with this show.
Gravity Falls does it well, Grunkle's voice is perfect.
Drop him. You will prevent further headaches in the future
Problem Solverz, the creator voiced Alfe and Roba, both of which sounds awful.
Just straight up confront him about it. If you don't do it now, it'll just get worse, and if he refuses to see his own hypocrisy on the "getting too close" thing and back off a bit, cut him loose.
>Create a show
>Want to voice it's main character because why the hell not.
>Noooooo, you need to hire a professional voice actor!
>But I...
>NOOOOO!
I liked it in Flapjack.
Yes, I know I misspelled "its".
It’s not a bad thing if it’s done well, which is usually the case.
Victor and Valentino might be the only example with shitty voice acting. Olan Rogers’s voice may be annoying at times in Final Space, but he’s still got good comedic timing and does pretty well at expressing diverse emotions.
Thanks for being proactive, user. I was just about to call you out.
No, most of the voices are decent.
I mean you gotta at least give Seth credit, he did manage to make Peter, Stewie, Brian and Quagmire all distinctive from each other.
Both, you never saw any of the Cartoon Cartoons creators voicing the main characters in their show.
How come no one has mentioned the best self-insert cartoon character of all time? except in MML, which is an example of too much of a good thing
Who the fuck says that they can't?
You?
OP is just bitter that they don’t have their own show
Kill him.
Do they get paid more if they voice characters? Kyle Carozza voiced like half the cast of Magiswords. And I wondered if it was some moneymaking scheme on their part.
90s had a bunch of shows made by comedians who voiced the main character, sometimes a younger version of themselves. Like Bobby's World, Life with Louie, and that Roseanne one.
Also South Park, Downtown, Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill, Dr Katz, Home Movies, looks like creator driven shows are where it comes from.
>major supporting character like in Gravity Falls
Stan was Alex and he was an MC
>>has the gall to accuse me and the other guy for getting too close to certain characters
Next time he does this call him out immediately. preferably with your other friend there so he can back you up. I hate that shit.
What's the cartoon about user?
Gravity Falls was really fucked up example. I mean, he voiced half of the main characters and was trying to micromanage the show in other ways.
What are you talking about? Stan was a part of GF’s main trio, but he was just a major supporting character. This isn’t even a question, like whether Dipper or Mabel was the main character.
>muh selfinserting
Mordecai fucked up a lot and he didn't get by with it. He was regularly called out for his shit and lost a girl for good. Stop being a faggot.
>.
Micromanaging in which ways ? I don't even like GF, but still curious.
>Stan was a part of GF’s main trio, but he was just a major supporting character.
Not him, but Stan was absolutely a main character alongside the twins. Soos is a major supporting character.
>not liking Gravity Falls
LOL, could you even imagine?
Whatever you choose to call it, there’s still a distinction between Alex Hirsch voicing Stan or Ian JQ voicing Rad, and Justin Roiland voicing Rick or Parker Simmons voicing Mao Mao. Stan was not THE main character. At the base, the show was primarily about the twins.
Don't like it. The comedy comes across as a poor man classic Simpsons. Something about the timing of the jokes, the orchestral cues and sound effects just feel....off.
Stan is as much a main character as Benson in Regular Show. It's just retarded to do categories like "supporting main" because then it gets open to debate what is and isn't a supporting main.
Shame that the twins were not interesting or compelling protagonists in the slightest.
Damn, I guess you’ll hate all three of these shows, too
I feel like the comedy and overall feel of the show doesn't work as well as they wanted to because the characters just aren't that likeable or compelling. Spongebob and Adventure Time also had silly humor, but it worked there because of how endearing the characters were. GF was trying to go for something similar, but it missed the mark imo.
>.
Well, yeah. They're literally the same thing. Same humor, animation style, timing, etc. Heck, i wouldn 't be surprised if they have the same music composer from GF
>113793811
Why should you even bother ? It's as milquetoast as an animated show can get.
Fuck off, yes they are
Again, Benson isn’t the main character of Regular Show. Mordecai and/or Rigby is. Just like Stan isn’t the main character of Gravity Falls. Did you read the OP?
>Why should you even bother ?
Thicc Hispanic loli.
Only reason I can think of as to why anyone would watch V&V, considering it's boring as fuck.
South Park did it
