Many of the actors who had been huge in the silent film industry were unable to make the transition to "talkies" because their voice (which hadn't mattered before) was unsuitable to film.
The Talkies - or the introduction of sound - panicked the movie industry because everyone would be affected and all would have to re-learn the movie industry.
The 1920s marked a significant transformation in the movie industry with the advent of sound in film, culminating in the release of "The Jazz Singer" in 1927, the first successful "talkie." This technological innovation revolutionized storytelling and audience engagement, leading to a decline in silent films. Additionally, the decade saw the establishment of Hollywood as the epicenter of film production, with major studios solidifying their influence and the rise of star culture. Overall, the combination of sound technology and the Hollywood system fundamentally reshaped the film industry.
