So does voicing a character in a movie count as acting? Should people be able to use it as a receipt to prove somebody's a successful/good actress?

A different form of acting imo

It's acting but clearly it's a whole different form.

I don't think stans of actors should use animated movies as receipts when discussing box office, awards, and critical acclaim.

Its acting, but not in the traditional sense.

Kinda. I feel like it'd be much harder to do voice acting that you'd think.

It's called voice acting

Voice acting...

"Should people be able to use it as a receipt to prove somebody's a successful/good actress?"

It's a much easier form of acting. You are basically doing half the work.

If the VA is mixed in with 'real' acting.

voice acting
And it is harder, because you have to express all the emotions without help of body language. Of course there is the animation to do the job.

No, not at all. Two entirely different things, and being good at one does not mean you will necessarily be ANY good at the other.

Well, it's called voice acting for a reason.

!!

I KNEW you were the OP from the moment i saw the title of the thread

Anyways, it's voice acting so it's a different form of acting

yeah but it isn't quite the same

So nobody is answering the second part of the question?
