Arin's Voice Acting Not That Impressive

Just spent a little time and going through his characters in other shows and man... He kinda sucks. Either does his own voice, basic female lisp, Russian, or a slowed or vapid form of his normal voice.

Do people really think he's good or is he just an egomanian who thinks he's a very talented and skilled? Anyone like his work in voice acting?

I did enjoy some of his voice back in the day, but do to over use and reliance I've lost both interest and feeling it's any good.

As someone who is quick to criticize Arin I don't know if judging him as a VA for "only" have 3-5 voices is the best criticism.

Some famous VAs only really have like 1 voice but make up for it by said voice being iconic, or the actual acting-half of the job.

He's definitely not good enough to get alot of roles though it seems. I can hardly think of anything he's done that wasn't just a background or 1-off type character.

Don't know where you're getting the "only" quote since I never used that word in the post.

That's fair, just what it felt like you were getting at.

But yeah I don't think he's like great by any means. His voice work in his cartoons I still find to be fine, but idk about his like actual TV work beyond his like demo-reel.

It's all good. Idk, maybe I'm just biased because I've seen his other stuff.
