Thread: Favourite Voice Actors?

Who are you favourite voice actors and actresses?

It's hard to choose because there are so many voice actors and actresses I really like for their amazing talent in voice work. But, I think the actors that really stood out for me the most are Jim Cummings and Rob Paulsen. I would mostly recognize their voices right away while watching a cartoon show as a child. Even Cummings and Paulsen would voice in the same animated shows like Animaniacs, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Bump in the Night and any Disney shows like Darkwing Duck, Talespin and Goof Troops.

Paulsen just has a charming tone in his voice that I really like whenever his voice is heard. It's sort of the same reaction when I hear other voice actors with a memorable appeal like Frank Walker, Dan Castellaneta, Billy West and even James Arnold Taylor. Cummings on the other hand is just incredibly talented that he can even sound like someone else. If he can sound like Christoper Lloyd while singing "In the Dark of the Night" from Anastasia to replacing Jeremy Iron's voice of Scar to sing the rest of "Be Prepared" from the Lion King, then you know you got some incredible talent there.

Ah, voice actors! I have alot of favourite voice actors and actresses. I'll start with one of my first favourites:

Out of every voice actor, one of the greatest for actors EVER was Mel Blanc. This guy was one of the GREATEST voice actors. He did the voice for so many characters in cartoons from the 20's to 80's, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tom and Jerry, Slyvester and Tweetie, Heathcliff, The Jetsons, and so much more that I don't even have time to mention. He took pride in his work and I respect him more than almost any other voice actor.

Next has got to be Tom Kenny, most known for the voice of Spongebob Squarepants! This guy is absolutely amazing. Much like Mel Blanc, he has done so many characters and took pride in it over the past decade.

I would absolutely agree that Mel Blanc was and still is an amazing voice actor. That's why people who go into voice acting in general are mostly inspired by this incredibly talented guy! Not only he could do voices, but also sound effects too. :oui:

Maybe I should mention June Foray as one of my favourite voice actresses. She has been around for decades and still does voices today. She did and still continues to do the voice of Granny from Looney Tunes and also Rocky and Natasha Fatale from the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. For someone who is over in her 90's right now, she still takes pride in her talents.

Well one of my favorite voice actors would have to be the multi-talented controversial Seth MacFarlane . Its kind of weird knowing he wrote some of the episodes for Johnny Bravo

next would have to be Matt Stone and Trey Parker

and Finally Tom Kenny I think he was the first voice actor I looked up to know about and I remember being amazed at the amount of shows he voiced in ,because of this I can recognize his many voices instantly.

Michael Shapiro , he voiced Gman in both Half life's he is exelent at doing it, and my second favourite would be… Guess who?
James of course!

okay, i like not so popular voice actors. one of my favorites was Fred Tatasciore, he did small voices, but he had an awsome voice.



the episode is upside down, but the character that was done by fred is teh one that screams "SEE?! WHY DO I KEEP LISTENING TO YOU!" that character deserved a better spotlight! he was only in one episode.

killing not one or two but 3 birds with one stone, the purple character is Voice acted by one of my favorite actors, Kevin McDonald. He can get annoying- but he always makes me laugh!

and third, the very annoying short green character with the pink "dress" is Zim, ( appears at about 2:48) acted by Richard Horvitz. I mainly love voice actors that make me laugh! (in that case, dont get me started on Andy Moris's voice for Percy, XP)

there are others that i like, but im probably gonna get alot of hate mail as it is. so that is it!

voice actors I like so far are Tom Kenny and Nolan North

voice actors I like so far are Tom Kenny and Nolan North

Love those guys, too. Nolan North, good ol' Sigmund and Nathan Drake!

You know two other voice actors I respect alot, the legendary James Arnold Taylor and the unbeatable Armin Shimerman. James Anrold Taylor has SO MUCH respect in doing his voice acting. He enjoys, and he doesn't just do it for money, he does he because he likes to do it and finds it fun. He is such a legend this guy, and good ol' voice of our fellow Ratchet, too.

Armin Shimerman is the guy when it comes to voice acting that'll do his best to make his character. He THRASES his voice when he does Dr. Nefarious (in ACIT and now A4O).


I would say Andy Morris, PipoTachyon, although he's only done one full role for a character, Emperor Percival Tachyon, but still, he completely nailed his lines and did it so good, really put alot of effort and emotion into it.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Tara Strong yet. If you look up all the voices she has done on the official IMDB site, you will be quite shocked on many shows, films and games her voice appeared in. She's also done some well know voices like Timmy Turner from Fairly Odd Parents, Rikku from Final Fantasy 10, Keira from Jak 3 and Jak X, Princess Clara and Toots from Drawn Together and also Talwyn Apogee from R&C Tools of Destruction.

This Canadian voice actress sure enjoys what she does if she has been voice acting for quite a long time now. :oui:

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Tara Strong yet

oh yeah I remember her she voiced omi from xiaolin showdown

Billy West (a.k.a the man of 1000 voices e.g. Dr. Zoidberg and 999 others) and James Arnold-Taylor (Ratchet, Obi-Wan, Fred Flintstone for the last decade, and others)

Billy west, he was the voice of fry and rayman from the rayman cartoon show that only has 4 episodes, and zim for the invader zim pilot episode. And james because he was the voice of ratchet and johnny test and many others

Billy west, he was the voice of fry and rayman from the rayman cartoon show that only has 4 episodes, and zim for the invader zim pilot episode.

Don't forgot Stimpy from the Ren and Stimpy Show. That was one of Billy West's well known roles in voice work. :oui:
