PLUS many are poorly miked and have no idea how to project their voices and turn out be marbled mouthed and non-understandable.
It's NOT my ears as the older actors can be understood where the younger ones cannot ... example being Trouble With the Curve ... Clint Eastwood was understandable in every scene ... Amy Adams not so much. Justin Timberlake did fine .. perhaps the singing training helped ?
ME -TV saves many a day as it is an olde tv treasure trove !
They paid a lot more attention to dialect coaching I think. I'm such a stickler for enunciation, and it drives me bonkers when people either shout (thinking that's the way to project their voice -- it's not the same thing, at all.), or when they DO. NOT. ENUNCIATE. Agh.
I have very sensitive hearing, but I was taught from a very young age how to speak properly, and as I grew up, I developed a great love of language, as well as a respect for the proper use of it (whatever language I'm speaking, it must be specific).
I equate many of today's actors' style with being on stage and having your back to the audience.
