Gerald’s changing voice is a great example of Hey Arnold! growing alongside its young cast. Instead of hiding Jamil Walker Smith’s real voice change, the show turned it into part of Gerald’s story.

“To write for a Black family, you start asking yourself, ‘What am I doing?’ So we cast all Black actors for Gerald’s family — that helped with authenticity. Then we listened to Jamil, Gerald’s voice actor, loved his phrasing and pacing, and wrote more of what he brought. In the ’90s, we were doing our best just to show different ethnicities on screen, thinking it’d be cool for a kid to see Gerald and say, ‘Finally, a character that looks more like me.’ People tell me that now.” Craig Bartlett, Creative Talent Network (2020)

“I’ve known about Gerald’s story but I suppressed it because I was trying to put that possibility to the side. It was just too real while I was still fighting.” The reality of what can happen to you as fighters is always there.

Elon Musk has a voice and I think a lot of large part of that voice is a reflection of the voice of the people.

Somalia’s joining to the AU Peace and Security Council, alongside its seat on the UNSC, is a powerful sign of the country’s return to major international platforms. It reflects growing confidence in Somalia’s voice, its diplomacy, and its constructive role in regional and global

this is what Navi will actually sound like if they add proper voice acting in the Ocarina of Time remake, instead of just 'HEY!! LISTEN!!' (yes this is the same voice actress)

We often hear about the radicalisation of young men—especially in the wake of hit show Adolescence—but far less attention is paid to the growing radicalisation of young women. Claire Lehmann is changing that.

Bhabanipore is no longer just a constituency, it has become the center of a growing roar. The anthem being heard here is now playing in every lane, every mohalla across Bengal. People are connecting with the story of the bhoomiputra of Nandigram. What started as a voice is now shaping into a movement across the state. #BhabanipurChayBJP

A bittersweet end of an era. Pamela Hayden is arguably as important to the show as any voice actor, a recurring cast member who has been part of the franchise longer than Hank Azaria or Harry Shearer. She debuted pre-series as part of a 1988 Butterfinger commercial:

The real worst part of AI voice acting is that it robs us of the spectacle of seeing random people whip out a near 1 to 1 impression of a character for stupid shit like this
