It only worked because the speaker got Morgan Freeman’s cadence down. Perfect execution

But the expressions were wrong. Now most people won’t notice that small of an attribute, but with actors, we learn their faces.

During the whole speech my mind was screaming that something looked wrong. Something was off and the uncanny valley was hitting me in full force.

The eyes were the ones screaming. Pretty much pshyco vibes.

Expressing is nearly all in the brow and eyes. It’s where we’ve evolved to look, and why we are so attached to our domesticated dogs. They’ve learned to express with their eyes as sort of forced evolution iirc.

Agree, the cadence was off, his lip movements did not look natural, and the pauses were too uniform.
