Animation Source Forums

Hiya all!! Y'know part of what makes a good animated character worth watching isn't just limited to how well they are animated, but also how they talk and sound. Let's be real here; when you have this macho superhero sounding and giggling like a little girl, you tend to loose interest, yup?

So who are your favorite voice actors? If you know, try to list their name, character name(s), and show(s)/movie(s) they're in. Enjoy!! So here are mine:

1.) Tara Strong ~ Raven (Teen Titans), Ben Tennyman (Ben 10), Seem (Jak 3), Rikku (FFX-2 & Kingdom Hearts 2)

2.) Jim Cummings ~ Steele (Balto), Shredder (TMNT), Dr. Robotnik (Sonic the Hedgehog), Pete (Goof Troops)

3.) Mike Erwin ~ Jak (Jaks 2-X), Speedy (Teen Titans & Justice League Unlimited)

4.) Robin Williams ~ Genie (Aladdin), Batty (Fern Gully)

5.) Sean Connery ~ [Not much of a voice actor, but I did love the part he played as Draco from DragonHeart.]

1) Kevin Bacon ~ Balto
2) Frankie Muniz ~ Racing Stropes(Stripes)

Kevin Bacon's good; but like Connery, he's not much of a voice actor -- it's a pity, really.

Oh, yeah, he's great!!

Another awesome female voice is..ermm...MELISSA DISNEY!! The Simpson, A Shark's Tale, Ratchet and Clank (Courtney Gears), and As Told by Ginger (Ginger]-- only to name a few.

Hmm...I'd go for:

Frank Welker - I am absolutely in awe of this man's talent and he consistently amazes me with his range and volume of vocal ability.

Keith David - If you want a dark and powerful gravelly voiced character, you will be hard pressed to find someone who can bring it to life quite like Keith David. I was blown away when I first heard his voice in Gargoyles and then when he played Okoto in Princess Mononoke. Such great and memorable character voices.

Phil Harris - OK, this man is a personal hero of mine and while his voice acting career is small (4 roles to my knowledge), he has played the most influential characters in my formative childhood years. I speak of the voice of Baloo in the Jungle Book and Little John in Robin Hood. His warm and laid back bass voice made any character he played sound like they were your best friend, every character he played was always infused with his undeniable charm and friendly energy. My greatest voice acting hero.

Allison Keith - I love Allison's performance of Misato in Evangelion, her performance was one the things that made the anime so compelling to watch.

Peter Sallis (Wallace). he does such a great job!

Tara Strong--Experiment 624/Angel

Alyssa Milano--Angel

Madge Sinclair--Sarabi

Zoe Leader--Sarafina

Charity James--Dusty

Lacey Chabert--Aleu,and Vitani


Whoopi Goldberg--Shenzi
