    I want to respond but youre not really giving much.

    Let me ask this. Would Darth Vadar be Darth Vadar if he wasn’t voiced by James Earl Jones

    Another one.

    What if in the movie Her the AI wasn’t Scarlet Johanson but was Fran Drescher?

      I don’t know if it would ruin the entire movie per se but if you’ve heard Darth Vader (David Prowse’s voice) pre James Earl Jones dub, its definitely a character ruiner.

      I can’t think of many movies where voice work is detrimental to everything except documentaries, but I know some games have annoying protagonists and it absolutely harms the whole experience.

        That’s the problem Im thinking about. Could a subtle change like changing the voice of an actor really have a huge impact, for me. So maybe its not a movie that is universally disliked, just one I dont personally like.

        I dont know but it is interesting to think about.

        Maybe with AI this is something I could explore more.

      Voice acting can be a good part of a movie, it could even turn a good movie into a great movie, or a terrible movie into a slightly less terrible movie, but I don’t think it’s enough on its own.
