If I were arguing that Hale is better because I think she's _____ then you'd have an argument. I'm not even using my own opinion as to why she's better anymore. All I'm saying is, to discern if an actor, any actor is a good actor, you need to critique their work with the critiquing method for that type of work, not inject your own opinion.
Well, you have an opinion about what would make an argument, but that doesn't magically make it fact. And I'm saying you can't realistically keep your opinion out of any critiquing method. It's a subjective matter. I've witnessed it, very often. As I mentioned before.
If you want to talk pure expression, then that's totally separate from a formal method. Interpretive dance is pretty, but if you're entering a salsa competition, you'll be laughed off stage, because you're not performing the dance that venue is for. No opinion as to who's the better dancer, if you can't dance salsa, you lose that competition. If you can't do voice acting, you lose that venue. No subjection, mere empiricism.
There is nothing purely empirical about judging whether or not someone can voice act. But funny you mention dancing because you can take 3 judges (or 2, or 5, or whatever) and have them grade salsa dancers and each judge will have different scores than the other for the same dancer. Because judging salsa dancers is subjective.
As for casting directors... If you know any actors, ask them why they didn't get this role or that role. More often than not, granted that said actor is trained and/or talented, it's a small seemingly insignificant thing. Some times the person's too thin, too fat, too short, too tall, wrong features, can't play a certain ethnicity, despite whatever ability or schooling they have. It's a staple in the industry.
I don't know if you're deliberately trying to confuse the issue or if you just don't get what I'm saying. I'm not mentioning my casting director experience to say that that is how all casting decisions are made. I'm using the experience to point out that two professionals (or 3, or 5, or whatever) can disagree on what a good actor is, just as two professionals can disagree on what a good voice actor is, or what a good singer is. Because it's subjective.
Also, I'm not stopping anyone from speaking.
Well, you can't stop anyone from speaking. So nobody made that claim. But you and some other poster were making some snide comments about how others with different opinions are ignorant (comparable to someone who doesn't believe in climate change, blah blah) and you are "in the know" or whatever, and that may intimidate someone. Or it may not. Whatever.
