Favorite voice actors?

[Sean Hollyman]

Who are your favorite voice actors, who do work in loads of games and tv shows or cartoons?

I'd have to go with Steven Blum or Johnny Yong Bosch. You know you've heard at least one of them somewhere.

 

[Popadoo]

Tara Strong, because her Twitter is hilarious, she gets involved with fans a lot and from what I can gather she's a very lovely person.
One example would be that of an autistic boy who was being bullied for liking MLP:FiM, and to cheer him up his mum bought him tickets to a convention where Tara was planning to be. Unfortunately, she wouldn't be able to make it. Tara then went on to ring him up and speak with him for half an hour, what a nice lady.

Haven't we had this topic quite recently? Maybe I saw it somewhere else. Anyway,

Male: Billy West. Closely followed by Keith David, John DiMaggio and Seth MacFarlane

Female: Either Jennifer Hale or Tara Strong

Kevin Conroy and Peter Cullen mainly became for their iconic voices and also the fact that they are both great guys in general Kevin brought moral to the people helping out during 9/11 and Peter had help an ill child).

 

[Total LOLige]

I don't watch many animated shows so my knowledge is pretty small. My favourites are Steve Blum, Patrick Warbuton, Billy West, John Dimaggio and Maurice LaMarche("The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world!")

RAPHAEL SBARGE!!! no reasons required apart from these two words: Carth. Onasi.

Did you watch the video on here recently of the famous voice actors reading the Star Wars script as their various different characters? HILARIOUS. Here's the link if you missed it:

A video of Strong, Conroy, Dimaggio, West, Harnell, Paulsen and LaMarche reading Star Wars.

I cracked up so many times listening to that. It's like someone put my favourite childhood memories in a blender.

I'd say Billy West is probably my most favourite, and even more so after watching that video. i didn't know he did Loony Tunes voices now, that's the best thing I've heard all day.

A video of Strong, Conroy, Dimaggio, West, Harnell, Paulsen and LaMarche reading Star Wars.

I love that video, best way to blow an hour ever.

Aside from those, Mark Hamill, because I love The Joker.

 

[The Rainmaker]

Nolan North. He is incredibly overused in games today, but damnit if I don't love his voice. He also voices the most likable game character ever (in my opinion), Nathan Drake.

 

[Rooster893]

Flea, Tim Curry, and Cathy Weseluck immediately come to mind.

 

[mParadox]

Steve Blum, Kevin Conroy, Mark Meer, Crispin Freeman and Luke SkywMark Hamill.

Geniuses all of 'em. >.>

Tara Strong, because her Twitter is hilarious, she gets involved with fans a lot and from what I can gather she's a very lovely person.
One example would be that of an autistic boy who was being bullied for liking MLP:FiM, and to cheer him up his mum bought him tickets to a convention where Tara was planning to be. Unfortunately, she wouldn't be able to make it. Tara then went on to ring him up and speak with him for half an hour, what a nice lady.

Ok, I knew she was a rather awesome person, but... WOW! Go, Tara Strong! Major more respect for you, now!

Her Twitter is hilarious, ehh? If I get a Twitter account, I'll have to go check that out, sometime.

Anyway, you can all tell by now that Tara Strong is one of my favorites. I've also rather taken a liking to...

Ryan Drummond Best know for his role as Sonic the Hedgehog from 1999-2004.

JK Simmons His defining character is arguably Cave Johnson from Portal 2. He's also been White Knight from Generator Rex and Tenzin from Avatar: The Legend of Korra.

James Arnold Taylor My favorite character of his is easily Ratchet. He's also been Fred Flintstone in the Midus and Pebbles commercials (not the original Flintstones TV show, though), Leonardo in... some TMNT series (I'm not a TMNT buff, ok?), and Obi Wan from Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

John De Lancie DISCORD! Well, that was how I first found out who he was. But, it turns out I'd heard his voice for years before that as Norm the Genie from The Faily Oddparents. People also keep bringing up his role as this "Q" guy from Star Trek: The Next Generation. (I'm also not a Star Trek buff, alright?)

 

[Ammutseba]

Nika Futterman.

She was the voice actor for Velver Velour from 'Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines', and Whispering Rocket Lady from 'Psychonauts'.

Her voice is sex for the ears.

 

[Misterian]

the late Tony Jay.

Known to have voiced Frollo in Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame, he has a awesome deep voice that would give Darth Vader a run for his money.

though if Tony Jay was around to attempt a Darth Vader voice, I think it would explode in awesomeness.

 

[deathzero021]

David Hayter = Solid Snake.
Mary Elizabeth McGlynn = tons of characters from games/anime

 

[Wrann]

Personally Tara strong, JK simmons, and Morgan freeman if you count his voice over stuff as voice acting.

Also Jesse cox from Youtube fame if anyone else watches his stuff. But any voice actor that when you go to look up their acting list and are surprised by how many characters they do is pretty good in my book.

 

[wooty]

Billy West and Rie Kugimiya.

They're both from different ends of the animation spectrum and have voiced some of my favourite characters.
