쉐도잉 연습: Invincible's Voice Actor Problem - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기
레슨 만드는 중...
1
Invincible has a huge problem, and it has to do with the voice actors.
2
About two weeks ago, I kept hearing about how the animation was getting worse, and how the show was getting sloppy.
3
Even though I was really enjoying season 3, I thought I might as well see if that's true.
4
It was an excuse to rewatch the last two seasons and introduce my buddy to an- I know, I'm a real hero.
5
So as we're watching the Flaxen invasion scene, he says he has to go pee, and I pause the show.
6
But as I pause right at the bottom where Prime shows the cast, I see the voice actor for the Flaxons Jimon Honsu.
7
Wait, the guy from Blood Diamond?
8
Gladiator?
9
Guardians of the Galaxy? That guy?
10
Isn't he a kind of famous movie actor?
11
Why is he voicing the space aliens who literally say gibberish with a voice filter and have one word of dialogue?
12
It seemed like an odd choice, and so now every time we pause I take a quick glance at the cast.
13
It didn't take me long to realize that Invincible has a lot of celebrities doing the voice acting.
14
Most of the main characters are voiced by pretty famous TV and movie actors, including side characters that have barely any lines or impact on the story.
15
People like Jimon Honsu, which I mentioned earlier, Jon Hamm who voices Steve, who?
16
He's the guy at the very beginning, who talks for two minutes before the Molo twins show up.
17
I am Steve.
18
Ella Purnell as the daughter of that one guy who died to Cahor, Justin Roiland as DA Sinclair's first victim, Tim Robinson as Philip Schaaf,
19
the comic book guy, and 19 Steven Yeuns.
20
What's next?
21
Are they gonna get The Rock to voice Galatia Peanut Freeman in a cameo?
22
Please don't do that.
23
Look, I'm not against famous movie and television actors voicing people in shows.
24
Steven Yeun, Sterling K.
25
Brown, that guy from The Red One, Aaron Pohl, they're all phenomenal.
26
But when you're hiring such popular actors for almost everyone, including the side characters that have two sentences of dialogue and never show up again,
27
is that really necessary?
28
For example, getting Ella Purnell to play as Jane
29
while she's working on other big TV series like Arkane and Fallout couldn't have been cheap, and you can't get her to do other characters unless you
30
want to add it to the shopping list of expensive cast members.
31
The only way to get some bang out of your buck
32
is to get it to do a few more lines for side characters that rarely show up.
33
You've already paid to bring it to the studio, so it would make sense to keep them there for more than 20 minutes.
34
Get it to play multiple non-reoccurring bums or background nobodies like how Fred Tat- Tatis-Squo-R does.
35
Although, Fred is actually a professional voice actor, so it still wouldn't make sense.
36
Because you're hiring an expensive actor like her to do what cheaper, more experienced people can do with the same impact.
37
Respectfully, it's not like Pernell was needed to play Jane, so I guess it's an interesting cameo?
38
But it's not like you get to see her face, and it's completely overshadowed by the Angstrom fight that happened 10 minutes ago.
39
I didn't even know it was Ella Pernell until I was doing research for this video, and the same goes for the many other celebrities in Invincible.
40
Frankly, it seems like a waste of money.
41
A waste that'll only grow over time as new characters are introduced and given more screen time.
42
Now, the reason I keep bringing up money is because executive producer, Marge Dean, said that Invincible's budget is only a quarter of what the shows like The Boys have,
43
which is about $11.2 million per episode, meaning that Invincible only has $2.8 million per episode.
44
That is not a lot considering how they're animating such a large action-heavy IP.
45
I definitely could be wrong, but I'd bet that a quarter, possibly more, of Invincible's $22.4 million budget is spent on the voice actors,
46
which leaves only $17.8 million for composers,
47
directors, writers, storyboard artists, music collabs, and finally the animators to produce six hours of animation in a year.
48
I want to frame just how unfair this is.
49
Prime, one of the largest streaming platforms, releases Invincible Season 1 after three to four years of development.
50
People are eating it up.
51
And it quickly becomes a huge sensation on the internet.
52
So Prime says to the animators, Hey, we've been hearing about your latest success, so we'll give you the go-ahead on another season.
53
So, two and a half years later, they release Season 2.
54
And once again, they've hit gold.
55
But wait a second, there's a four month break.
56
So Prime says to the animators, Hey, so it turns out the fans really dislike the four month break.
57
Uh, what's that about?
58
Well, we've been working hard to get this out to a standard we want.
59
But you know how it is.
60
Animation is time consuming and we don't exactly have the money to bring on more animators.
61
That anime special took a lot of manpower.
62
Yeah, we really needed that four months.
63
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
64
I hear you brother.
65
We were actually meaning to ask.
66
I know this sounds crazy, but do you think by any chance we could add
67
that four months to the deadline instead of putting it in between episodes?
68
Look man, I hear you, I hear you.
69
How does this sound?
70
February 6th.
71
Like, February 6th, 2027?
72
No, no, no, no. February 6th, 2025. Are you serious?
73
That's less than a year, that's nine months.
74
You're giving me nine months to animate the- So they get to working, and after just 10 months, Season 3 is released.
75
And this time, fans aren't happy.
76
Fans are criticizing the animation for being a lot less fluid, having more static shots where the PNG just kind of moves across the screen, and being somewhat lackluster at times.
77
And that's incredibly unfortunate, because the animators did the best with what little time and resources they had, and to be honest, they received way too much hate.
78
While it is admittedly not as well animated as the prior seasons, Season 3 isn't just good, it's amazing.
79
You're telling me they made the Invincible War in nine months?
80
Who knows what more they could have done if they had the money for more staff.
81
I want to close by saying, Prime, you're not Dreamworks.
82
It's not Mega Mind.
83
You can't just blow so much money on celebrities and expect a development time of one year.
84
Maybe if you had $130 million, you could, but not with $22 million and 100 overworked employees.
85
That's all I wanted to say.
86
I've been putting off to watching the finale until I finish this video, so I'll pin my comment letting you know what I thought of the episode.
87
I might think it's terrible, who knows.
88
I'm also currently editing my big Marvel Rivals video.
89
I'm trying to get it out ASAP, so stay tuned.
90
Anyway, like, comment, subscribe, love you, bye.

이 비디오는 누구를 위한 것인가?
이 비디오는 IELTS 스피킹 준비생이나 일상 회화에서 자연스러운 표현을 익히고 싶은 중급 이상 수준의 학습자에게 적합합니다. 특히, 미국식 영어의 구어체 표현과 논리적인 말하기 구조를 연습하고 싶은 사람들에게 유용합니다. 비디오에서 사용된 대화체 언어와 논증 방식은 실제 토론이나 의견 표현에서 자주 활용되므로, shadow speech (쉐도잉) 연습에 최적입니다.
빼놓을 수 없는 단어와 관용구
- gibberish: 말이 안 되는, 무의미한 소리. "They say gibberish with a voice filter"에서 사용되었습니다.
- bang for your buck: 돈을 투자한 만큼의 가치. "The only way to get some bang out of your buck"에서 돈을 잘 쓴다는 뜻입니다.
- overshadowed by: ~에 가려져 보이지 않다. "It's completely overshadowed by the Angstrom fight"에서 사용되었습니다.
- IP (Intellectual Property): 지적 재산. "action-heavy IP"는 액션이 많은 콘텐츠 원작을 뜻합니다.
발음을 제대로 익히는 방법
이 비디오의 화자는 미국식 영어를 사용하며, 구어체에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 축약형과 연음이 특징입니다. shadowspeaks 기법을 사용하여 다음 부분을 집중적으로 연습하세요:
- 축약형: "I'm not against" → "I'm not aginst" (발음이 연결되어 "aginst"처럼 들립니다.)
- 강세: "waste of money"에서 "waste"와 "money"에 강세를 두어 스트레스를 표현합니다.
- 속도 조절: 논리적인 부분에서는 느리게, 감정이 담긴 부분에서는 빠르게 말하는 것을 모방하세요. "Frankly, it seems like a waste of money"에서 "frankly"는 강조하며 느리게 발음합니다.
이러한 발음 특징을 shadow speech로 반복 연습하면, 자연스러운 미국식 영어 발음을 익힐 수 있습니다.
쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
