Isn't an otherwise decent actor doing a shit job evidence that the quality has less to do with the actor and more to do with the director/devs actually giving him more context for the lines than 'LOL you're a robot!'Don't think so, doing VA is not as simple as it sounds (lol just read the lines nigga). Which is why you see otherwise decent actors doing a shit job, like the known Bethesda examples and Dinklage (the dwarf guy from GoT), who voiced the robot buddy in Destiny for a while and now Nolan North is in his place (they blamed a schedule conflict but they aren't fooling anyone since North re-recorded everything from the beginning)
Everything I've ever heard about the industry implies that most shitty voice acting can be chalked up to someone being given the script 30 seconds before they get shoved into a booth to do 2 takes and get sent home. I stands to reason that the opposite is also true- voice actors given proper direction and context for their script will do a good job if they have even a smidgeon of skill.
