I’ve noticed a recent trend in TV acting: Young, puke-faced millennial actors and actresses who, in lieu of any real technique, whisper their lines. The dialogue emerges in a breathy rush, enunciation be damned. They swallow consonants with the same insouciance that Trump swallows constitutional law.
Exhibit A is MacKenzie Porter, an actress from a Netflix series called Travelers. She never met a consonant she liked. It’s deep, though, since she whispers.
