Watching these videos always reminds me that being a VA was a bit of a dream job of mine. But I've always had trouble with mis-speaking and stumbling over my words, so I've always been too nervous to even attempt beginning.
But your videos are always so insightful even to people like myself!

Honestly this is just life advice, always do the necessary prep work and then some, keep your ego in check, and learn to communicate well with others and follow directions.

If i was a voice actor i can understand this

But im not so, i still think voice directors are responsible for bad voice acting, not the voice actors themselves(Although there are rare cases where its both)

I remember hearing about how Xenoblade Chronicles 2 had little to no voice direction, which was very apparent after the first game. And the voice direction definitely hurt the Wild Era Zelda titles.

I’m completely unexperienced and have no where to learn how to be a voice actor. I watch videos but sometimes I struggle to find good videos (i love your videos and they are very helpful). But what would you recommend trying to learn how to become a better voice actor?

Joe definitely made a name for himself here

C'mon now... the dub cast for Ghost Stories seemed like they were having a jolly old time! :)))

Maybe a bit random but, have you ever shared any tips on what to eat/consume to keep your throat's health and maintain your voice? I assume there are things to keep in mind.

This is unrelated and you may not see this, but recently i was told to give up trying to be a voice actor because I'll never be hired because ai is easier and cheaper and businesses will choose ai over me. 😭 very discouraging.

So do you just follow directions like a robot? Is there a point where you would pushback at all? Because I feel a bad performance caused by a director could also affect your reputation.

Now we know why directors are playing the tough daddy act on the employee and voice actor.
