The voice isn't the only selling point, many times, a voice actor is hired only for their fame

Which was already a blow to voice actors. It used to really be primarily about talent first and then they started realizing they could create hype by hiring famous people for the jobs. Some were great at it (Robin Williams comes to mind) but the Chris Pratts of the world have no business voicing Mario, etc.
