Mumbling beep Actors Ahoy!

Todays episode (12/08/16) is a perfect example of what is almost solely an American show problem. Tia I can hear and understand perfectly, but another pretty boy bloke is whispering and mumbling his wooden way through the episode.Why do so many shows from America suffer from mumbling yank actors? It's like they aren't wearing mics or something. It never happens with foreign English speakers on shows, like The Dog Whisperer, or anytime foreign actors are used.Speak up and speak clearly!

You must mean "North American" because this was a Canadian show.
If it were an "American show" (as in The United States) Tia's character would sport a fake bust and have a long face, much like the Tia Carrera of today.

I have to admit I see this complaint on a lot of shows. When I listen I never hear mumbling. I've only rarely had trouble understanding what characters are saying.

What most people think is "mumbling" is usually someone speaking normally and not yelling and overacting like a fucking hack.
