Why do studios who localize animu use the same voice actors every time for dubs?
It'd be cheaper to hire new blood and would create more options for talents so everyone in every show doesn't sound exactly the fucking same.
New blood also tries harder because they want to make a name for themselves, I don't get why it's the same half dozen people every time.
Studio Ghibli used to make good dubs, dubs can be good, but everyone just says fuck it lets hire the usual guys.
Why?

Unions and those guys you hear all the time are the cream of the crop
Are you some kind of wannabe VA looking to get a shot?
Muh unions which are actually shitty and filled with shitty people using shitty practices
Honestly hiring college students and even certain seiyuu like Asa-nee would be much better
Unions yes, talented no.
It turns out that there just aren't that many porn actors in Hollywood who got too diseased to do porn, but are willing to work for peanuts being voice actors for cartoons (not high-end Disney cartoons, but imported cartoons from other countries that need localization service for as close to 0 JPY as possible).
We didn't appreciate what we had. Isamu went on to a string of Emmy wins and an Oscar Nom.
I like unions for the most part, they're good at preventing exploitation, but hiring first world in country people besides them is not exploitation and they need to chill the fuck out.

Not Sup Forums, fuck off.
Did you unironically think unions were supposed to make things better for anyone not in a union?
Well they should exist for the purpose of fighting attempts to lower wages and remove benefits.
But that's all.
Depends on where it's being recorded
agents and unions have a lot of pull in the American dubbing scene, as well as laws.
For instance, there are two separate English north American dubs of dragon ball Z. That's because the original dub was allowed to be broadcast in Canada since it counted as Canadian programming while Ocean Dub was doing the voices. When Funimation did it internally, that status was lost and they had to go back later and get permission to do a Canada only dub.
Also, it's actually quite cost effective for active voice actors to come in and do various lines for various shows in one day (or one week) because the company has to pay to fly them out sometimes. Most voice actors don't live where they record. Plenty of Funimations voice actors live all over texas, and even as far away as California, even though they record in Dallas (though often times, for those particularly far away, they may just pay to rent studio time out in LA).
Lastly, big names DO in fact draw a lot of marketing attention, as well as guarantee a large turnout at conventions.
Vic Mignona, Scott McNiel, and Todd Haberkorn all guarantee pretty sizable turnouts at any event they are at, which means a lot of exposure for a show. Keeping them on with later iterations of the show just makes sense.
Unions are the free market solution to lack of government regulation.
When you have unions AND government regulation of wages, hours, and working conditions, unions often exploit the companies they work for.
Any time two separate groups are fighting against one group, it's easy to see how things can get slanted quickly.
Minimum wage, the weekend, the 40 hour work week. We would have none of these if not for the existence of unions, regardless of whether you're actually in one.
The existence of unions brings the entire workforce up, not down, and you shouldn't let the megacorps convince you otherwise.
Union leverage helps non-union employees by forcing wages to be more competitive. If a union welder is making 25 an hour and a non-union is making 15 the non-union welder can either join or threaten to join a union or the welder can say 15 is too low and if you don't like it you can hire a union welder at 25. Maybe he gets to raise his rates to 20 in this example.
Unions provide wage pressure from the bottom up.
or you could be patrician and watch subbed anime in glorious nippon
He's an ignorant child. What do you expect?

oh man, I know someone who got shipped out to help with that Verizon stuff.
I tried to follow it (cause I had Verizon, until they gave me away to fucking Frontier) but as far as I could figure, Verizon kept offering them nearly everything, but they basically wanted Verizon to give up on Fios because the work load was too high.
Still not sure how they settled it all.
That sort of shit happens in the VA industry all the damn time.
I talk with some friends of mine that have worked their way up, and I've talked with agents, and time and time again I hear things like "Well, I can't charge cheap rates for friends more than once. My agent gets paid a minimum fee, and if I go too low too often, it devalues my rate, and the people I already charged more than that for are getting screwed"
It's a terrible system that props up the sort of celebrity attitude that all acting jobs eventually create.

Some blu rays dont even have dubs anymore. That should tell you something.
A good majority of anime is non-union. All Funimation dubs are not union at all since Texas is a right to work state.
My love for you is like a truck.
