As it turns out, professional voice actors (''especially'' Creator/BillyWest and Creator/TaraStrong) are not pleased that their jobs are being poached by actors from other disciplines, which makes sense, as it implies that the performing skills are interchangeable.

It's important to note that [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools this is not always a recipe for disaster]]. Some celebrities prove to be very talented at voice acting, and would likely be among the most prolific at the profession if they did it exclusively.
