I find the voice to be a huge factor in acting. There are some, like John Malkovich and Kevin Spacey who are so convincing because they sound as if they've thought over what they're going to say and they're loving serious about it. Then there those like Zach Galifianakis and Seth Rogen who are hard to take seriously and like they're always doing a joke or almost any line of their dialogue could be followed by a '...just kidding!'. Voice is one of the reason I don't like Ben Affleck in the role of Batman. He tried playing a threatening heavy in Runner Runner but he just doesn't have an intimidating voice at all. I usually like Keannu Reeves too but his performance in Man of Tai Chi was so aloof or cold or distant, he did not seem to bring his usual energy to that role and it was disappointing. If you're going to speak of directors, have to mention Woody Allen because so often his leading actor takes on Woody's own vocal mannerisms and style.

Your rant should have included Charlize Theron's Oscar-winning transformation in Monster. And the contrasting style could be illustrated by Meryl Streep, who doesn't transform but (usually) quietly and believably blends herself into a role so that is doesn't even seem like acting.
