Ngl, I personally don't hate her voice, but I hate the fact that she has the same (or almost same) voice for every single movie she voices in, and I feel like most people hate her for that same reason

EXACTLY! I didn’t know how to put it into words. Like i don’t hate her voice its just the same every time
I may not actually like her, But i will admit it's nice to see someone rise to fame from something small they worked on in college. Especially if she's dedicated to this. Her voice is just... too recognizable though. if you hear a character voiced by her you will know it's voiced by her.
@@shoopydoopy Definitely. Awkwafina's story is interesting, and she seems really dedicated to her current job as a voice actor! Such a shame the scripts usually give her the same roles, though.
@@SnekOil Eh, I just don't tend to like the scripts she usually receives and the "Sassy Girlboss" archetype she's been leaned toward lately. They end up feeling somewhat one-dimensional and all samey, if you know what I mean?
Someone who actually compliments Awka when she succeeds?! I never thought a RUclipsr would be such a gentlemen. Also I think they should have made Tigress the Dragon Warrior and made Jen her apprentice instead
I really like Awkwafina, but she's being used as if her literal presence will make the movie or show better, which isn't the case, but she doesn't inherently make it worse like so many try to make out to be (except Little Mermaid, but no one could have made Scuttle work with how it was written)
They're using her like she's a new James Corden. It's no wonder that's what's making people hate her. She's scripted to play herself and no one likes when that's done
I personally have never considered Awkwafina to be an awful actor, just like any actor, she's just following the script that was written, the best example of that is when she played Sisu, Zhen and Ms. Tarantula, her performancea on this movies were funny and actually good, so I find her to be funny Also I personally find IF to be a really beautiful film, yes I like it, fight me, is so underrated
Omg! Right! She did the bubbles in IF. I love that movie, even though I disliked it when I was still halfway through watching it the first time. It surprised me with how emotional it became and the twist was enjoyable, so it grew on me when I had to watch it a few times to get my dad to watch it... It's honestly pretty special to me now. And yeah, I never considered Awkwafina to be awful either. It gets a little annoying to hear her voice being the same in so many things sometimes, but I do like many of the characters she plays.
@@SnakeitySpoonGilmour it’s like fosters home for imaginary friends but more focused on emotional support then whimsical fun. It’s a pretty good movie not the funniest but wonderfully imaginative,
Reminder to the comments: Don’t hate on the person just doing their job (as long as the job isn’t hurting people), hate on the companies who keep hiring the same actors every time. And even then still let the actor have some roles, as, if they are not hurting anyone, they are doing nothing wrong.
It hurts my ears But on a serious note voice actors like her aren't acting they're just being themselves and it hurts making a distinctive difference from each one Also her writing and humor with her roles would help people like her but idk who's writing her to just be unbearable
I can’t deny she’s a decent VA. It’s just weird that a lot of her work is in movies that have been cash grabs or flubs. Except The Bad Guys, which was awesome, and she did great.
I like this ranking! Is very light hearted compared to other types of analysis of her performance, and you critic her for her falls but praise her when she does a good job. I have never seen someone be so honest and upbeat about her and you make me think diferently from what I previously thought of her. Thanks for the video 💪💪 very good stuff.
I think the main reason why people dislike Awkwafina so much is mainly because she only has one voice (and by that I mean it’s extremely obvious when she was the voice actor) and she has been given some horrible scripts. So when people watch these bad movies, they instantly can tell it’s her voicing the character and thus the bad writing is associated with her acting. If she got some better roles such as Mrs Tarantula while establishing herself in the industry, she could possibly be seen as a decent actor. Also I know some people find her voice annoying, but that’s pretty subjective, tons of actors work through their annoying voice, and her voice wouldn’t be near as annoying if she had decent scripts, so I don’t hold that against her.
If this werent for her animated roles, I would've put her role in Marvel high up. Katy Chen from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was actually a REALLY fun character who was written serious and naturally. I quite liked her, and was surprised to see Awkwafina given a genuinely good character role.
Disney making Scuttles a northern gannet is an INSANE choice, because gannets are some of the most badass birds out there. They are pursuit divers, but their method of entering water is both highly efficient and EXTREMELY dangerous for themselves. Long story short: plunging head-first into the water at break-neck speeds (literally, there are many cases of this happening) from insane heights. Not to mention they are probably the only bird to have recovered from the more recent and deadly strain of avian flu, and those that survive have black eyes. That and also it’s a case of Disney adding an animal to the cast that doesn’t make much sense*, since afaik, the movie takes place outside of their range * (see: the wolves in the jungle book live action aren’t Indian wolves, the general anatomy of Manchas the jaguar in Zootopia resembles that of a leopard, etc) This is a bit of a tangential rant but i just wanted it off my chest lmao
she's also already in the cast for a movie coming out presumably in 2025, called Wildwood. A Laika film, the studio that made Coraline. My only source for this was seeing her in the cast list when searching the movie on google, so this may be subject to change, but with how consistent she's been in movies these years, I'd say she likely is in it
Even if I wouldn’t personally give as much praise to her as you do, I think people being more overall positive about films like this is a good thing. There’s so much toxic negativity around everything film related these days ngl. Also I didn’t even know all of these roles and you might have made me turn around on a few roles. Ngl she kinda killed it as Apple. Edit: After watching even further into the video I think you might have genuinely made me rethink how I perceive her within film. I think most of my negative feelings mainly just stem from me not being all too fond of Sisu or Raya as a whole but other than that I’d say I agree with the rest of the ranking
Personally, my main gripe with Akwafina is that she's just not a versatile voice actor. Her voice is very recognizable, but she hardly ever does anything new with it, and she's especially bad whenever she has to do a scene that isn't solely comedic since she can't help but say almost everything in nearly the exact same tone. Also, side note, I hate the BFFs short, but that's just me. Honestly, I'm glad someone can find stuff to like about it lol. You're better than me.
Personally to me I think giving her hate just for doing her job is undeserving because even if she's a big name celebrity she's still doing her job and being human like all of us tho even some characters she voice doesn't fit well ((looking at you Little Mermaid)) it feels more on the savage side that people hate her just for her getting a paycheck for work and classify her as annoying..now I'm no Awkwafina fanboy but no one in deserve of hate on doing there job..tho I'm hype to see her as Ms. Tarantula soon
Genuine question because I’m curious. Why do people hate her? Is the only reason why people hate her because she’s “everywhere”? IMO she’s not even bad at voice acting, and it doesn’t seem like she’s done anything terrible, so why do people not like her?
I guess it's a combination of the "everywhere" aspect as well as a lot of people finding her voice annoying (which doesn't help the "she's everywhere" view).
I love this channel sm, it's much less negative than other movie ranking channels (nothing wrong with ppl expressing dislike i just preffer positivity) and i agree with a lot of ur points !! It's so fun i'm deffo binging ur vids
In some of her works, like the Simpsons ones, she doesn’t really sound like herself. Her voice is a little different, which is nice. I think if she really absolutely wanted to, she could voice act different voices. It’s hard with her range, but it’s possible.
Personally I think her character in the dark crystal AOR was one of her best, the first few times ive watched the series I couldnt even really tell that it was her until i looked into it more. Her voice really fits skeklach, especially considering skeklach is represented as a male with a more female sounding voice, and its one of the few I actually can tolerate. The higher pitched and scratchy sounding voice she has fits the character and his pustules and wheezy personality. I just think its one of her better ones 😣
I like how this is problem to people when I grew up watching dubbed movies where one actor was voicing 2-5 characters😂per movie. And some where in ”all” movies. There was no variation in voicies
She was never considered a "bad voice actor," just overused and no range which is fine when you are being type casted. It might seem rude but her voice is very "unappealing," she sounds like a female version of Steve O, she needs to be in more villain roles, the Dark Crystal and Migration were her best roles cause her voice actually fitted with those character. It's crazy to me that she hasn't voiced some decrepit old smoker yet cause that's what she sounds like.
I dont hate awkwafina (my mom loves it when she appears in movies, and i dont judge) but her appearance in Raya and The Last Dragon didnt really stick right with me 😭 as a southeast asian its kinda sad that the biggest, most popular representation of southeast asia is a half assed “authentic” movie about it, Dragons (or “nagas” as we call it) in indonesian culture are highly detailed and more so of gaurdians and awkwafina making Sisu be an adorkable “quirky” dragon felt off to me in a way, this might be just because im an indonesian and RATLD is a mixture of many other cultures (which is VEEERY problematic, our cultures can range a lot and can be confusing)
@@Abdul-salaam-j8smaybe they mean making the fourth one sound good? Because while I haven’t watched KP4 yet, the summary in the video did make it sound way better than what I’ve heard the film actually being.
Very happy i saw this video bc Awkwafina is my favorite voice actress tbh I really love the rasp in her voice, it makes it unique to spot out in movies
Nobody hates awkwafina guys....we hate the fact that instead of getting actual voice actors with range that fit characters all we get is awkwafina and a bunch of other famous people who can't act like the rock... they don't play a character they just play themselves and it is honestly annoying
i know a show similar to animals, "the midnight gospel" i watched it on netflix and its basically someone who shapeshifts into different animals and interviews other animals like in a podcast
I honestly can’t tell if it’s the writers fault for making her characters this way or if she has something to do with it but for me it’s like Awkwafina has this thing where whatever movie she’s in immediately becomes mid once she’s introduced. I don’t know how or why but I just see the pattern with her as the focal point
i actually really like awkwafina a lot, she's really funny and when the role suits her, she really shines. people just like to hate her cause shes popular but i like her
I really like IF Also Migration is easily my favourite illumination movie it's insane it's from the same studio that gave us the minions and sing Edit: NO FREAKING WAY AWKWAFINA BEAT ME TO POOP ABILITIES THAT WAS MY IDEA
I find her to be a good comedian, and has a unique voice that could fit many funny characters. But in real life that's not the case. Scuttle, the dragon from Raya, the fox from Kung Fu Panda 4, the spider on the Bad Guys...she was miscast imo.
I think Awkwafina just needs to be type casted more often. Like she really does rock certain roles. I feel like any appearance after Reya on this list fit her pretty well. She just needs roles where the rasp of her voice adds to the overall performance.
Funny thing is I just watched both the simpsons episodes on this list recently and had NO clue that any of those characters were played by Awkwafina. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Awkwafina as an actor, she just works with the material that is given and sometimes that’s good and other times not so much… my biggest complaint is I feel like the characters she voices are written less as the character and more like “Awkwafina” if that makes sense.. also just discovered your channel and already loving it, your character and voice are very nice!
I feel like awkwafina isn’t a bad actor, and personally I understand why people might not like her because she always uses the same voice. But… and there’s a big but here One thing to note is, the director has control of a lot in the production, so it wouldn’t be surprising if the director wanted her to use the same voice over and over again, since it is what she’s known for. And typecasting might also be playing a role in this, while typecasting isn’t nearly as bad in voice acting it can still happen. So she might be stuck in some of these roles that always seem to have the same personality and what not making her possibly feel like she needs to be using the same voice, same tone etc. I still feel as if she should try experimenting but I understand why she might not, or maybe even can’t. I also don’t think this should count for her live action movies as I think she’s pretty good in all those, well at least the ones I’ve watched I haven’t seen to much of her live action films.
am i the only one who absolutely loves awkwafina? anytime i hear her voice in a new animated movie i get so excited because i love how she plays her characters. while a lot of ppl are casted for their voice, Awkwa is casted for her personality
I think if Awkwafina at least tried to make her voice different for each movie, then I think everyone wouldn’t hate her. Take Mary Kay Bergman (RIP btw), she voices so so much voices yet is so unrecognized. It’s a shame she committed, she had so much potential.
I may find this woman to be absolutely unbearable and grating, I think she works better as an unlikeable and evil villain.... I mean, I just find it so hard to associate that scratchy, raspy voice with someone we're supposed to like and root for.
I do like Awkafina when she's not voice acting; because she is actually trying, it's just that she needs to improve her voice acting so the characters don't sound the same.
For those who can tolerate (and are genuine fans of) Awkwafina, they have to see her best acting performance in the underrated drama film "The Farewell". People hate on her so hard, but she has a very unique voice that never gets much credit than it deserves. Obviously I understand the complaints of being in too many major animated films and not showing almost no range. She needs more varity and practice, and to take on more drama roles like " The Farewell".
Shoopy Doopy describing Tuca And Bertie as a "lighthearted show" that's "less serious than Bojack" made me crack up. He only watched 2 episodes of it. Not spoiling anything but Stevie Wonder would've had more accuracy shooting at a target range.
She is so frustrating to hear in every movie. She’s this generations Kristen Schaal, and Mila Kunis, but the problem is that they both do a better job emotionally, you forget it’s them but not awkafina
I first saw Awkwafina in Crazy Rich Asians, and I honestly did enjoy her in both The Dark Crystal series and the Jumanji sequel. Her voice is good in small doses, I think. I kind of see her as the female version of Gilbert Gottfried XD
Apple is still my favourite role Awkwafina has done. Mostly because I've known it was her, and she wasn't insufferable. I only found out when I checked the Wikipedia and I was shocked when I found out she voiced her. Obviously her best voice performance is Sky in "The Boys: Diabolical", but Apple is still my personal favourite role of hers.

I like how this is problem to people when I grew up watching dubbed movies where one actor was voicing 2-5 characters😂per movie. And some where in ”all” movies. There was no variation in voicies
The entire sponge on the run movie is a fever Derek I swtg
25:59 “who’s that poopymon”
“It’s **insert tacobell poop sound effects here** “
Hahahaha
She was never considered a "bad voice actor," just overused and no range which is fine when you are being type casted. It might seem rude but her voice is very "unappealing," she sounds like a female version of Steve O, she needs to be in more villain roles, the Dark Crystal and Migration were her best roles cause her voice actually fitted with those character. It's crazy to me that she hasn't voiced some decrepit old smoker yet cause that's what she sounds like.

9:59 Is it weird I got mild whiplash from this despite not being a millennial
Omg your blueberry guy is so cute I need a marketable plush of him asap ❤🙏
Me too! :)
Oh my GOD! Awkwafina was on Regular Show?!
YUP! :)
No
@@imgonnatellmom3245 Yes she was!
@@BokanProductions when i was in regular show i didnt see her
@@imgonnatellmom3245 What do you mean when you were in Regular Show?
and Awkwafina is the real life person inspiration of MK from Total Drama.
I’ve only just realised how much sense that makes! They sound similar too
I dont hate awkwafina (my mom loves it when she appears in movies, and i dont judge) but her appearance in Raya and The Last Dragon didnt really stick right with me 😭 as a southeast asian its kinda sad that the biggest, most popular representation of southeast asia is a half assed “authentic” movie about it, Dragons (or “nagas” as we call it) in indonesian culture are highly detailed and more so of gaurdians and awkwafina making Sisu be an adorkable “quirky” dragon felt off to me in a way, this might be just because im an indonesian and RATLD is a mixture of many other cultures (which is VEEERY problematic, our cultures can range a lot and can be confusing)
you somehow made Kung fu panda sound like a good film
King Fu Panda is a good film Wdym?
@@Abdul-salaam-j8smaybe they mean making the fourth one sound good? Because while I haven’t watched KP4 yet, the summary in the video did make it sound way better than what I’ve heard the film actually being.
@@Polyeurythane yah that’s what I was thinking I just wanted confirmation
@@Polyeurythane Yeah, I thought it was pretty good!
The chameleon villain sucked. The only thing I liked about the new movie was that it was funny, and then Po's two dad's dynamic.
Very happy i saw this video bc Awkwafina is my favorite voice actress tbh
I really love the rasp in her voice, it makes it unique to spot out in movies
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the video :)
Nobody hates awkwafina guys....we hate the fact that instead of getting actual voice actors with range that fit characters all we get is awkwafina and a bunch of other famous people who can't act like the rock... they don't play a character they just play themselves and it is honestly annoying
sponge bob akwapants: keanu on the run
lol, a better title for sure
Unpopular option maybe: I love the scuttle butt song 😅
How!?
Why does Awkwafina look like MK in the thumbnail.
Subtitles at beginning: be w a w w a w a w
The last one is just animifying poop what 😭
i know a show similar to animals, "the midnight gospel"
i watched it on netflix and its basically someone who shapeshifts into different animals and interviews other animals like in a podcast
I love that show! :)
🎤My opinion is that I think Awkwafina is a outstanding voice actor. Love & wishes for her and her voice acting career.
Nice! I think she's good too!
Good on you pal keep that positive Attitude and yes she is good
@@shoopydoopy She actually does Seasu from Raya very well!
I DID NOT KNOW SHE PLAYED SKEKLACH WTF
Yep! :D
2:49 Yeah my exact thoughts i was is that supposed to be a seagull???
lol
THE WOKE DISNEY RACE SWAPPING MY BIRDS!
They’re actually more closely related to boobies (yes that’s an actual kind of bird)
I think she did a good job as zhen in king fu panda 5
I honestly can’t tell if it’s the writers fault for making her characters this way or if she has something to do with it but for me it’s like Awkwafina has this thing where whatever movie she’s in immediately becomes mid once she’s introduced. I don’t know how or why but I just see the pattern with her as the focal point
i actually really like awkwafina a lot, she's really funny and when the role suits her, she really shines. people just like to hate her cause shes popular but i like her
totally agree!
I really like IF
Also Migration is easily my favourite illumination movie it's insane it's from the same studio that gave us the minions and sing
Edit: NO FREAKING WAY AWKWAFINA BEAT ME TO POOP ABILITIES THAT WAS MY IDEA
hahahaha
Yo she was in dark crystal!!! I loved that show ❤❤❤
3:32 That first SpongeBob movie is one of my all time favourite movies as well!
Me too!!! :)
7:45 ‘if’ reminds me of this movie on Netflix called ‘the imaginary’ it’s in an anime style. It was good
ur videos are fire
Thank you so much! :)
You deserve more subscribers I thought you were had like 100k just based on the quality of the videos
Thank you so much!!! :)
Interesting now try to rank every character she did from Good to Evil
2:04 You did not have to do that to bro 😭😭😭
Why not? He is a bit of an unironic meme.
I find her to be a good comedian, and has a unique voice that could fit many funny characters. But in real life that's not the case. Scuttle, the dragon from Raya, the fox from Kung Fu Panda 4, the spider on the Bad Guys...she was miscast imo.
I think Awkwafina just needs to be type casted more often. Like she really does rock certain roles. I feel like any appearance after Reya on this list fit her pretty well. She just needs roles where the rasp of her voice adds to the overall performance.
Funny thing is I just watched both the simpsons episodes on this list recently and had NO clue that any of those characters were played by Awkwafina. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Awkwafina as an actor, she just works with the material that is given and sometimes that’s good and other times not so much… my biggest complaint is I feel like the characters she voices are written less as the character and more like “Awkwafina” if that makes sense.. also just discovered your channel and already loving it, your character and voice are very nice!
Awesome vid!
Thank you LightBlox!!!! :D
I feel like awkwafina isn’t a bad actor, and personally I understand why people might not like her because she always uses the same voice. But… and there’s a big but here
One thing to note is, the director has control of a lot in the production, so it wouldn’t be surprising if the director wanted her to use the same voice over and over again, since it is what she’s known for. And typecasting might also be playing a role in this, while typecasting isn’t nearly as bad in voice acting it can still happen. So she might be stuck in some of these roles that always seem to have the same personality and what not making her possibly feel like she needs to be using the same voice, same tone etc.
I still feel as if she should try experimenting but I understand why she might not, or maybe even can’t. I also don’t think this should count for her live action movies as I think she’s pretty good in all those, well at least the ones I’ve watched I haven’t seen to much of her live action films.
Hey, good video! Also, your voice kinda sounds like a mix of Dipper Pines and Aaron Paul! It's very relaxing lol
Wow, Thank you! :D
@@shoopydoopyhey bud glad you liked migration
am i the only one who absolutely loves awkwafina? anytime i hear her voice in a new animated movie i get so excited because i love how she plays her characters. while a lot of ppl are casted for their voice, Awkwa is casted for her personality
Like her because of her voice, since its low, raspy, and urban. Personality (real life) is at best debateable.
It’s a good thing this wasn’t a tier list cause we know where all of these roles would be placed
I think if Awkwafina at least tried to make her voice different for each movie, then I think everyone wouldn’t hate her. Take Mary Kay Bergman (RIP btw), she voices so so much voices yet is so unrecognized. It’s a shame she committed, she had so much potential.
The returning issue of actors constantly having roles(it is their job though- 😅) 😔
Lol, no issue! Just ranking some good, some not so good :)
I may find this woman to be absolutely unbearable and grating, I think she works better as an unlikeable and evil villain.... I mean, I just find it so hard to associate that scratchy, raspy voice with someone we're supposed to like and root for.
I do like Awkafina when she's not voice acting; because she is actually trying, it's just that she needs to improve her voice acting so the characters don't sound the same.
My choices of different voices for Akwa's characters:
Sisu -
Scuttle (still male) -
Chump - Brenda Song
Zhen -
Bubble - Cree Summer
9:23 "So you know the jokes are hilarious and unhinged"
cue the baby shark segment
I had no idea that Regular Show was her first ever voice role. That's such a fun little fact
I know right!?
This feels more like a oddly-themed box of mini-reviews than a rating of performances
Every role should be ranked the same because she plays the same character in every piece of media.
For those who can tolerate (and are genuine fans of) Awkwafina, they have to see her best acting performance in the underrated drama film "The Farewell".
People hate on her so hard, but she has a very unique voice that never gets much credit than it deserves. Obviously I understand the complaints of being in too many major animated films and not showing almost no range. She needs more varity and practice, and to take on more drama roles like " The Farewell".
Awkwafina is one of the voice actors of all time
so true!
Awkafina
Help us
Lmao we really posted the same video (very differently made obviously) on the same day 😂 great work! All love to you
Thanks!
I love your videos dawg
Thank you dawg! :D
Shoopy Doopy describing Tuca And Bertie as a "lighthearted show" that's "less serious than Bojack" made me crack up.
He only watched 2 episodes of it.
Not spoiling anything but Stevie Wonder would've had more accuracy shooting at a target range.
seeing her in the wildwood cast threw me for a loop. i hope she lives up to this one.
She is so frustrating to hear in every movie. She’s this generations Kristen Schaal, and Mila Kunis, but the problem is that they both do a better job emotionally, you forget it’s them but not awkafina
I think Awkwafina works best in roles where her characters are, awkward. (Also, when is the Air BNB Icons video you mentioned?)
You watched my inside out video!?!?!? I'm working on it!!! :)
basically if your enemy produces waste, she can literally break her enemies from the inside out
it really is an absolutely crazy power
LOL, EXACTLY the most OP superhero of all time!!!
Can u do another one but on a different person pls I love voice actor's
sure! Who?
@@shoopydoopyPeter Capella of Sonic fame.
I first saw Awkwafina in Crazy Rich Asians, and I honestly did enjoy her in both The Dark Crystal series and the Jumanji sequel. Her voice is good in small doses, I think. I kind of see her as the female version of Gilbert Gottfried XD
Apple is still my favourite role Awkwafina has done. Mostly because I've known it was her, and she wasn't insufferable. I only found out when I checked the Wikipedia and I was shocked when I found out she voiced her. Obviously her best voice performance is Sky in "The Boys: Diabolical", but Apple is still my personal favourite role of hers.
