> "Mumbling, breathy, I call it self-conscious type of acting, is so frustrating," she says. "I would say a lot of the younger actors have adopted that style. I think the onus also falls on the directors to say, 'I can't understand a word you're saying. I'm listening to dailies, and I can't understand.' No amount of volume is going to fix that." In Star Trek: Discovery, all other issues aside, one that irks me a lot is the main character delivers about 2/3rds of her lines in a literal whisper. This is meant to convey emotion, since the writing on Star Trek now is dripping with deep emotion in every scene. I'm not sure if it's the direction or the acting, but when every line is whispered, then nothing is.
