I’m not hearing the japanese voices while reading the subtitles, I’m hearing my own voice. Also too busy reading to understand it. Cannot look away either. Voice acting in most dubs is alright.
I think live actions are different, as squid game’s dub was rubbish
Yeah I feel like the quality of dubs is really lacking for some shows. For example, I can’t watch any Netflix dubs anymore. They do an ok job but it seems like they use the same 5 voice actors for every show, and I end up recognizing them. It’s weird hearing a voice and matching it to a big Russian dude in one show and then a Korean guy in another. For that matter, they don’t do accents or hardly any emotion in the lines. It’s like having my dad read the dialog for me; it’ll never be as good as the original vice actors. There’s also the additional issue with live action dubs where the audio doesn’t match the lips. It just ruins the immersion and is really distracting.
Subtitles become less of an issue if you read faster. Don’t try to read it in time with the voices, read faster then spend the extra time watching the visuals.
