Voice Actors

I'm taping an anime at night and I'm really loving this one voice. It's deep and rich and...and...just makes me want to purrrr~~.
So now I'm getting obsessed in finding out more about him.

There are so many interesting voice's/voice actors out there. I just wanted to find out who you all like.


The voice I'm obsessing over right now is David Kaye's.
He's the voice of Sesshomaru in Inu-Yasha and was also Treize in Gundam Wing.






There are many other's I want to mention, but I thought I'd just get this thread started now. So who do you all like?

You mean, you watch anime, but you watch it dubbed? On purpose? I don't generally groove on the stuff, but I can't stand to see it any way other than in the original Japanese, reading the English subtitles.

It's for her younger children though, Holden.

I can relate to what Holden is saying as that's the way I like to see an animation. But for the little ones it would have to be dubbed over.
As for voice overs/actors, I think Robin Williams did a great job and would've liked to have heard more.

Fox...you think Robin Williams did a great job in WHAT???

Didn't he do the voice of the genie in that Aladdin thing? Also in the beginning of the Mrs. Doubfire he does the voices to a cartoon that really got me thinking that he would have the perfect voice for that.
I'd like to hear more of him as a voice actor.

aaahhh...Aladdin....he was dang great in that...forgot about that little gem

I didn't want this thread to be just about anime voice actors....list any actors who have done voice overs. I probably shouldn't have started off with David Kaye and give that impression, but he was on my mind at the moment.

I hope this doesn't become a subbed vs. dubbed debate. I just wanted to appreciate voice talents. Please~~

You're right...Robin Williams was great as the Genie in Aladdin, and in doing the cartoon voice's in the beginning of Mrs. Doubtfire. He should do more.

Here's a few I wanted to name.....

Voice Actors
Mel Blanc
Bea Benadaret
Wendee Lee
Brian Drummond
Paul Dobson
Jason Marsden (Haku)~ Spirited Away(english version)
Roger L. Jackson~ (Mojo Jojo, Boogie Man, etc..)~ PPGirls
Kathie Soucie (Dexter's Mom)~ Dexter's Lab.
Jeff Bennett (Dexter's Dad)~Dexter's Lab.

**
Actors/voice overs
Kathleen Turner (Jessica Rabbit)~ Who Frammed Roger Rabbit
Eddie Murphy (Mushu and Donkey)~ Mulan and Shrek
John Lithgow (Lord Farquaad of Duloc) ~ Shrek
Richard White (Gaston)~ Beauty and the Beast
Tim Allen (Buzz Lightyear)~ Toy Story
Tom Hanks (Woody)~ Toy Story
James Earl Jones (Mufasa)~ The Lion King
Jeremy Irons (Scar)~ The Lion King
James Woods (Hades)~ Hercules
Meg Ryan (Anastasia)~ Anastasia
John Cusack (Dimitri)~ Anastasia
Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Jim Hawkins)~ Treasure Planet
Sebastian Cabot (Bagheera the Panther)~ Jungle Book

I think there are few really great voices out there that if they haven't already been used for voice actors, they should. Some I can think of:

Jeremy Irons
James Earl Jones
Christopher Lee
Robin Williams
Alan Rickman
Kathy Najimy

Jeremy Irons was Scar in The Lion King. James Earl Jones was Mufasa in The Lion King, and of course Darth Vader. Kathy Najimy does lots of voice work, most prominently Peggy Hill on "King of the Hill".

This I know Holden, I was giving some examples of people that have pretty good voices and if they hadn't already been used, they should.

Ray Liotta did a great job as the voice of Tommy Vercetti in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002) (VG). Video games are well know for there bad voice acting but GTA:VC certainly changed that. Burt Reynolds as well as some lesser know actors really made that game special.

Wouldn't Garrison Keillor (author, and host of the long running, and very entertaining, radio program A Prairie Home Companion) make a great voice actor? He did narrate a short animated film, but that's it so far. He has a rich textured voice that could be used to really great affect in the right role.

I totally agree. I enjoy listening to him on the radio. Do you know the name of the film he did the narration for? I would be interested in seeing it.

Denis Leary was just excellent as the sabre toothed Diego in ICE AGE. Such calm panache jumping between "I want that baby!!!" and "I'm really your friend!"...

JR

James Earl Jones was great in The Lion King and in Star Wars. Such a powerful voice.
