Sarah Vowell's not only not an actor, she's not acting in The Incredibles. She's reading. To great effect, but she's reading.
What do you see as the signs of that? And, in voiceover work, what difference does it make?
Also -- I saw The Apple last night. It is ... transcendently bad in a whole new way that borders on genius. How often is deus ex machina a literal plot device in modern film?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

She sounded exactly precisely the same as the one piece of her radio work.
And yes, there's a huge difference between reading and acting. It just seems to so happen that her reading was what someone else might have faked to act Violet -- certainly not casting aspersions on her performance -- acting or reading, it was a performance, and great voice-work.
I mean, I can sure read. I know no one's going to be hiring me for voicework, though, because I don't act.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I've been hearing about The Apple for months. I feel like I need to see it, as each person's description tops the one that came before. I wonder where I'll be able to get it. I'm guessing the usual rental spots won't work.

Don't know if you're a Netflix member, Lilty, but I know they carry it.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I was, but then I marked it as a non-essential bill when I moved and canceled it. It was sad. I know a place in Portland that has movies you'd never think you'd find anywhere, though. I bet they'd have it.

I've never heard of The Apple before but I'm assuming you're talking about this one rather than this one.

You may be mistaken.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I've only seen the preview. But, yeah, the musical.

Nope, IG, you'd be very, very wrong.
