In animations that do utilize voices, Voice Acting is (usually) one of the first things you need to worry about as things like character gestures, lipsyncing, and timing heavily rely on the script.
Some of the best animations I've seen also don't use color, that doesn't make good color design unimportant.
And that is to also say that everyone involved in a project should be valued, because every element means something. Mick brought up a good point on Twitter just now.

@TheWildPiper voice acting IS easy. Being any good, producing pro sound quality, bringing life to un/scripted words... is not."
Sure anyone can animate, anyone can draw, anyone could pretty much do anything so long as they have the means to do so. But whether or not you're actually making good content is another issue.
Either way, this thread is about how frustrating it can be to be asked this when saying you're a voice actor, "Oh, whose voice can you do?!" Which I would recommend @Jacob you add this to the VA peeves thread too so others looking at the thread can relate! :)
