I bet if anyone (could be bothered to) counted up Burnham's breathy/whispered vs her actually speaking lines normally, it'd be at least 80% the former.
SMG is simply limited in acting skills and when or how to emote. She continually confuses levels of depth, secrecy or just having a private chat with just how breathy or whispery she needs maintain. There are ever increasing shots of the other actors looking at her like, why are you whispering or being all breathy, we get the lines, when we are away from others or, it really isn't that crucial a line, love?
Ironically, Sonja Sohn, as Burnham's mother, is a typically quiet spoken actress; who is another one prone to breathy acting but at least she knows when to just speak and when to lower things down further.
When SMG actually let loose a little and got a bit all girlfriend with Michelle Yeoh the other week, I was struck by how much more I began to engage with her but moments later and....
The opener to the series was indeed hopeful with David Ajala to bounce off (in her whole year searching...how long, woah!) but now he's been relegated to love interest, yikes.
And, sorry, but one teary self revelation this week doesn't excuse for the norm. The whole debate rapidly descended into family court and I was amazed the others were prepared to listen to that and not the facts.
