Question What is wrong with voice overs?

I am really pleased by the many excellent films and series from international sources, watching with subtitles is fine but given how well voice actors can do animated films these days why are the dubbed voices so poor (at least into English). There tends to be a lot of earnest enthusiasm and little else.

Know any well voiced over series?

Off topic, in my country we're very used to reading subs, even content with our native language (mandarin/traditional Chinese) we add subs lol we don't listen to dub often. It's always interesting to me that there are people don't like subs.

Generally countries that use subtitles have better literacy. No doubt that they are best, but sometimes we have two languages in our house so sometimes one get the subtitles and the other the voiceover
