View Full Version : Haha Voice Actors
They're pretty awesome. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXAuiEgGOg4)
Who's your favorite? I happen to like Sterling Holloway, the first actor who did Pooh bears voice.

Scott McNeil is my favorite. Though I need to have another talk with him. He seems to have gone all hippy on me.

Peter Cullen, Tony Jay (we miss you man. I wanted you as a GPS voice), the guy who did Panthro, Orson Welles (also would have loved him as a GPS voice) Megumi Hayashibara... I'm sure I'll think of more later.
Edit: Oh god, Peter Cullen GPS would be awesome.... "We will reach the Reddimart, no matter the cost. Back out of the driveway, and roll out!"
And then Frank Welker. "That Volvo just cut you off! DESTROY THE AUTOBOTS!"
Then we resurrect Orson Welles to do a Unicron one:
"The Reddimart is irrelevant. You will find Ultra Magnus and destroy the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. You belong to me now."
"What? No! I need groceries you useless-"
"Very well. Then continue, on your way to oblivion." *plots your course for the pier*
Tony Jay
I was watching him and the cast of the Legacy of Kain series go through the game and I saw the best YouTube comment ever:
If I were Tony Jay, I'd spend whole days talking to myself and thinking I was awesome. (http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=WS0Ks_ph5go&feature=related)
They also had Kain say to Raziel "I miss your wings."
It was awesome. (http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=F_mhON42HmE&feature=related)

Tony Jay
How would you ever argue against someone like that? He could say "Give me all your money. Now" and I would be handing the keys to my car to him.

Johnny Young Bosh, not because of his 1 billion+ roles, but due to the sheer fact that he can voice a young boy's role and you wouldn't be able to fucking tell it was him.
Also, I would pay a million dollars for a Transformers GPS.
Also also, Billy West. He's his own grandpa, you know.

Grey DeLisle and Jennifer Hale have done some pretty awesome work. Azula from Avatar is Grey DeLisle's stand out (though Black Canary from Brave and the Bold wasn't bad either).
Fem Shepard from Mass Effect is Hale's stand out, partially cause it was an excellent job and she covered pretty much every aspect of a RPG character with potentially wildly different personalities brilliantly, but also cause she so completely outshone the guy doing male Shepard's admittedly above par performance(seriously I reckon he did better than most VA's of video game leads, he just got completely outclassed) to such a degree that I always rolled fem Shep except for one run I put myself through to see Tali and Jack's romances. I should note I usually stick to playing male characters in RPGs where character making is available, the Mass Effect series is the main exception to that.
TIME BOMB

She doesn't look like she's from Mass Effect at all!

Keith David (Goliath, Dr. Facilier, both the narrator and Okkoto the Boar God in Princess Mononoke)
Clancy Brown (Lex Luthor, Mr. Krabbs, Long Feng)
Phil LaMarr (John Stewart/Green Lantern, Samurai Jack, Hermes Conrad, Vamp)
Mark Hamil (Fire Lord Ozai, Joker, Captain Stickybeard)
David Ogden Stiers (Major Charles Emerson Winchester III, Governor Ratcliffe in Pocahontas, Jumba in Lilo & Stitch, Kamaji in Spirited Away)
I'm also gonna list the incredible dubbing done in Miyazaki's movies. For instance, Nausicaa has both Admiral Adama and Captain Picard in it.

Tony Jay and Keith David are the voices of Badasses.
David Kaye is awesome as is the Original Megatron Frank Welker.
Billy West, of course.

I'm pretty much gonna write a love letter to Ocean Group right now, the guys who were (Mostly) responsible for every Gundam dub ever.
Brad Swaile. Amuro Ray, Quatre, Light Yagami, Nightcrawler... He's had a lot of REALLY good roles. He doesn't have the best range of voices (His Nightcrawler sounds a lot like Amuro or pretty much any other role), but he does an amazing job displaying the emotions of the character he portrays. Easily my favorite, and I actually only watched Deathnote because, and I quote myself here, "FUCKING BRAD SWAILE."
Richard Ian Cox. Kai Shiden, Inuyasha, Hal the Super Soldier... Whereas Brad Swaile usually hits on the emotional side of the spectrum better, RIC is able to play an arrogant jackass so well that he tends to get the role a LOT. He does an awesome job at it, too.
Mark Gatha. Mega Man and Domon Kasshu. Basically, if you want someone who can do hot-blooded Dragon Ball Z style attacks better than anyone else, Mark Gatha is your man. Shame he retired from voice acting, though.
Dave Pettitt. Sigma and Master Asia. He's played Mark Gatha's rival in pretty much everything Mark Gatha did, and quite a few other roles as well. He does hot-blooded just as well as Gatha.
Steven Blum. He did Spike really well in Cowboy Bebop, and it's part of why I say Cowboy Bebop had one of the best dubbings of all time. Honestly, that still wouldn't have me put him on this list, except he also did Leeron in Gurren Lagann. Compare this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSLfBR4D0Hg) with this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6EO4_1t8qc) (Apologies for the second video being a camera recording at a convention, but there is seriously NOTHING else on Youtube with Leeron lines >.>). You can NOT tell that they are the same man.
Keith David. Goliath, Arbitor, Dr. Faciliar... I'm a straight man, and I have to say the Nostalgia Critic put it best: "I would go gay for that voice."
Derek Stephen Prince. He did Impmon (And his digivolution Beelzemon) in Digimon Tamers. He has done a lot of voices in a lot of series I like, but he did Impmon, one of my favorite villains ever, and he did him SO WELL that I still tear up during some of the characters more dramatic moments.
Ugh. I haven't even hit on half of my favorite voice actors yet, but I've spent like two hours on this post (I keep getting distracted and watching videos of those VAs >.>). Here's a short list of a few others, though I know I'm missing some:
Matt Hill
Caitlin Glass
Travis Willingham
Vic Mignogna
Aaron Dismuke
Wendee Lee
Melissa Fahn
Dorothy Elias-Fahn
Bridget Hoffman
Brian Donovon
Laura Summer

Colombe Demers aka Daemon from Reboot.
Crispin Freeman. The man does Alucard and Kyon better than the Japanese versions.

As a huge Lupin III fan I would be amiss if I didn't add Sonny Strait's name. (also plays Maes Hughes in Full Metal Alchemist, Kyuzo in Samurai 7) He's a really neat guy who also draws and sings.
Clarine Harp: I first heard her in Samurai 7 as Sanae but she's fast becoming one of my favorites with roles in Speed Grapher, Ghost Hunt, El Cazador de la Bruja, and Kaze no Stigma.
Christopher Sabat: another Lupin voice this time Jigan but is also in many many other things like Dragon Ball as Piccolo and Vegeta and others. Sabat also was in Samurai 7 (a favorite anime if you cannot tell :D). He's been in a ton of stuff.
Will add more later just kind of tired now...

No love for Jim Cummings? The man who played the lovable Minsc? Along with other roles, but come on, Minsc!
