Actors of Democratization Pdf Actors of democratization pdf Continue Although they are usually not as well known as their on-screen brothers who appear on television and in movies, many voice actors have found incredible success in their careers. Despite being remembered primarily as the founder of the media corporation that bears his name, Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) can also be considered one of the most successful voice actors of all time, as he provided original voices for Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. While it remains to be seen if any of the voice actors working today could equal Walt Disney's long-term success, here are the top ten workers currently working as voice actors in the industry today. 10. Julie Kavner Unsurprisingly, many of the highest-paid voice actors working today are associated with The Simpsons, the longest-running animated program in the U.S. and widely considered one of the most successful television shows ever created. Julie Kavner voices Marge Simpson, the matriarch of the Simpson family, who is instantly recognizable by Kavner's distinctly hoarse voice. According to IMDb, Kavner began her acting career with regular comedy roles on television. However, she found her biggest success with The Simpsons. Although she was paid only $30,000 per episode for years, Kavner is now making an impressive $300,000 per episode, according to CelebrityNetWorth. Kavner's current net income is estimated at $55 million. 9. Yeardley Smith as Kavner, the diminutive Yeardley Smith also found incredible success with The Simpsons. Smith voices Lisa Simpson, the growing middle daughter of the Simpson family. Smith told The Guardian in 2009 that voiceover Lisa Simpson is the best job ever. Like many of the Simpsons cast members, Smith has made $300,000 per episode since renegotiating her contract with Fox (FOX) in 2011. According to CelebrityNetWorth, Smith is worth $55 million. 8. Dan Castellaneta's Dan Castellaneta has provided voices for many animated programs, including Justice League, Darkwing Duck, Kim Possible, and Cow and Chicken. However, he is undoubtedly best known for voicing Homer Simpson, the ever-baffled patriarch of the Simpson family. The versatile actor voices several other characters besides Homer on The Simpsons, including Mayor Kwimby, Krusty the Clown and Barney Grumble. Castellaneta also lent his acting talent to Futurama, another animation show created by Matt Groening. However, Castellaneta's biggest salary comes from the Simpsons show, which pays him $300,000 per episode. Per CelebrityNetWorth, Castellaneta is worth $60 million. 7. Nancy Cartwright as fellow voice actor Dan Castellaneta, Nancy Cartwright voiced characters in various cartoons, including Rugrats, Animaniacs, and Kim Possible. It also provides votes several characters on The Simpsons, including Ralph Wiggum, Wiggum, Munz and Todd Flanders. However, nothing has contributed to her bank account more than her work voicing Bart Simpson, the perennial troubled Simpson family. Fox pays Cartwright $300,000 for each episode of The Simpsons, and it has a total net worth of $60 million, according to CelebrityNetWorth. 6. Harry Shearer Harry Shearer is arguably the longest and most diverse acting career of all the highest paid voice actors running today. Shearer began his acting career in the 1950s as a child actor in Abbott and Costello's Go to Mars. He has also starred in classic television shows such as Laverne and Shirley and Leave It Beaver. Fans of the comedy may also know Shearer for his work on Saturday Night Live and his role as Derek Smalls in the rock maquette This Is Spinal Tap. Suitable for someone with such a wide career, Shearer voices all types of different characters on The Simpsons, including Mr. Burns, Waylon Smithers, Ned Flanders, Kent Brockman, Chief Skinner, Otto Mann, Dr. Hibbert, Lenny Leonard, Reverend Lovejoy, and Rainier Wolfcastle. Like his co-star in The Simpsons, Shearer earns $300,000 per episode. Shearer is worth $65 million for CelebrityNetWorth. 5. Hank Azaria Hank Azaria completes a series of voice actors who made their big money from the success of The Simpsons. Azaria began his acting career with small roles on classic 1980s television shows such as Growing Pains and Family Ties. He also received acclaim for his comedic roles in films such as Along Came Polly and Run Fatboy Run. However, Azaria's on-screen performances are far less well known than his work as a voice actor on The Simpsons. Like Shearer, Azaria voices many different characters on The Simpsons, including Mo Shislak, Principal Wiggum, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Comic Book Guy, Carl Carlson, Cletus Spuckler, Disco Stu, Duffman, Dr. Nick Riviera, Lou, Snake, Kirk Van Houten, Professor Frink, Marine Captain, and Superintendent. While Azaria also earns $300,000 per episode, like his fellow voice actors on The Simpsons, he is rated as the richest of the group with a net worth of $70 million, according to CelebrityNetWorth. 4. Mike Judge is a multi-talented Mike Judge voice actor, writer, director, producer and animator. The judge first gained notoriety with Beavis and Butthead, an animated series that debuted on MTV in the early 1990s. The judge provided a voice for both title characters, as well as many of the minor characters. Judge parlayed his success with Beavis and Butt-head in the creation of King of the Hill, another popular animated show that debuted on Fox in the late 1990s. As he did at Beavis and Butt Head, the judge voiced several characters on King of the Mountain, including Hank Hill, Boomhauer, and Stuart Dooley. Mike Judge also sometimes lent voice to other animated shows, shows, Cleveland Show, Family Guy, and South Park. According to CelebrityNetWorth, the judge is valued at $75 million. 3. Seth MacFarlane It's no coincidence that some of the richest voice actors on this list are also the creators and producers of hit TV shows - obviously these voice actors get most of their income from their property in their creations. However, as a judge, Seth MacFarlane also voices the many characters that made his animated shows so popular. Macfarlane's first big success came with Family Guy. He voices several of the show's characters, including Peter Griffin, Brian Griffin and Stewie Griffin. McFarlane also voices several characters in his second hit, American Dad!, including Stan Smith, Roger Alien and Greg Corbin. Finally, McFarlane delivers the voice of Tim Bear on his latest animated series, The Cleveland Show. Thanks in part to his talents as a voice actor, McFarlane's value is estimated at $150 million, according to CelebrityNetWorth. 2. Matt Stone's Matt Stone is best known for being the one-half duo who created the wildly successful South Park cartoon. However, Stone also voices many of the show's main characters, including Kyle Broflowski, Kenny McCormick, Gerald Broflowski, Jimbo Kern and Butters Stotch. He also voices a wide range of minor single-family characters that appear on South Park. Stone used his success in South Park to fund other successful projects, including films such as Team America: World Police and the critically acclaimed Broadway musical The Book of Mormon. According to CelebrityNetWorth, Matt Stone is worth $300 million. It's no surprise that the other half of the duo that created South Park shares the top spot for the highest-paid voice actor is running today. Like his South Park partner Matt Stone, Trey Parker also voices several characters in the animated series, including Stan Marsh, Eric Cartman, Randy Marsh, Mr. McKee, Satan, Mr. Harrison, Clyde Donovan and Mr. Hankey, as well as numerous minor characters. According to CelebrityNetWorth, Trey Parker is worth $300 million.

  • Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in the Simpsons
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Craptacular Science and the Worst Audience Ever: Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in The Simpsons being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of PhD Film Studies in the University of Hull by Jemma Diane Gilboy, BFA, BA (Hons) (University of Regina), MScRes (University of Edinburgh) April 2016 Craptacular Science and the Worst Audience Ever: Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in The Simpsons by Jemma D. Gilboy University of Hull 201108684 Abstract (Thesis Summary) The objective of this thesis is to establish meme theory as an analytical paradigm within the fields of screen and fan studies. Meme theory is an emerging framework founded upon the broad concept of a “meme”, a unit of culture that, if successful, proliferates among a given group of people. Created as a cultural analogue to genetics, memetics has developed into a cultural theory and, as the concept of memes is increasingly applied to online behaviours and activities, its relevance to the area of media studies materialises. The landscapes of media production and spectatorship are in constant fluctuation in response to rapid technological progress. The internet provides global citizens with unprecedented access to media texts (and their producers), information, and other individuals and collectives who share similar knowledge and interests. The unprecedented speed with (and extent to) which information and media content spread among individuals and communities warrants the consideration of a modern analytical paradigm that can accommodate and keep up with developments. Meme theory fills this gap as it is compatible with existing frameworks and offers researchers a new perspective on the factors driving the popularity and spread (or lack of popular engagement with) a given media text and its audience.

SLIM TRUTH: A TEXTUAL AND AUTOETHNOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF CELEBRITY EATING DISORDER COVERAGE IN PEOPLE MAGAZINE by Angela Michel A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2015 ! ABSTRACT SLIM TRUTH: A TEXTUAL AND AUTOETHNOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF CELEBRITY EATING DISORDER COVERAGE IN PEOPLE MAGAZINE Angela Michel Marquette University, 2015 This thesis employs textual analysis and autoethnography to examine portrayals of celebrity eating disorders in People magazine. In it I seek to accomplish two goals: first, to reveal the story told by the entertainment news outlet about anorexia and bulimia, and second, to relate that story to the lived experience of illness and recovery. I discover that the magazine’s narrative is reductive and simplistic, laced with half-truths and widely held myths about eating disorders. It depicts these disorders not as complex psychological conditions, but rather as behavioral and physical “battles” triggered by celebrity activities. The illness experience is portrayed as a double life, an extreme diet, a means of life control, or an addiction, while the recovery experience is portrayed as a never-ending process.

  • LGBTQ Episodic Television Study Guide
    Archive Study Guide: LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER TELEVISION: SITCOMS AND EPISODIC DRAMAS ARCHIVE STUDY GUIDE The representation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) communities on television is marked by a history of stereotypes and inexplicable invisibility. By the 1970s, gay media-watch groups communicated their concerns to the television industry and a sense of cooperation began to emerge between the LG BT community and broadcasters. During the 1980s, the AIDS crisis and resulting prejudices ushered in a new era of problematic and offensive portrayals. In the late 1990s, Ellen Degeneres' landmark coming out, (both in real- life, and through the character she portrayed in her sitcom), generated much controversy and discussion, ultimately paving the way for well -developed gay characters in prominent primetime TV roles. Despite such advances, stereotypes continue to resurface and perpetuate, and the full diversity of the LGBT community is more often than not underrepresented in the mass media.
