Definitely option 2; It really makes no sense to me to add a suffix to a role if it already tells me it's voice-only.


Except that the Rules tell us to do it that way.

True, but that doesn't mean it has to make sense - right, Skip? 

I too find it "messy" looking to have the something like "Computer voice (voice)" - and, for that matter, every single role of an animated film showing "(voice)" at the end. When it's animated, it should be pretty obvious that there is only voice-roles.

The microphone idea sounds great! It would provide the necessary clean-up and look a whole lot better while preserving the data for those who need it...

If I see a group credit for "Additional Voices" with a list of actors underneath, I have changed the role to "Additional Voice" with the voice checkbox checked for each actor in the list.

Not all animated movies are 100% animated, some have live-action cast.

But you never know if that actor provided the voice to more than one character. It's quite normal in animated features that a voice actor plays more than one role

Not having read all the replies, but I believe Option 1 was either mandated, or at least agreed upon, some time ago.
I wasn't a fan at first but now I appreciate it allows (in theory) future collection of useful data on all voice roles simply by using the ticked voice field.

Thankyou for saying it as I see it also

I personally always been for option 1. But I would also love to see something like the microphone icon instead of (voice) at the end of the role. If something similar to that could be given to uncredited... even better. Though that would be a hard one to replace where most people would know what it means just by looking at it.
