Mind-blowing voice acting revelations

[RelexCryo]

Steve Blum (i.e. Spike "motherfucking" Speigel and Garcia "fucking" Hotspur, respecively) did the voice for Grunt in Mass Effect 2

Wow. I can just imagine that conversation on the Dev team.

Dev 1: "Okay, now all we need is a Mexican voice actor and we are all set!"

Dev 2: "I have been meaning to talk to you about that. Steve Blum offered to do the voice acting."

Dev 1: "What!? You mean we have to choose between a Mexican character being voice acted by an actual Mexican or having Steven Blum make sweet love to our ears!?"

Dev 2: "Yeah, Pretty much."

Dev 1: "Argh....must...choose.....okay, hire Blum."

I remember finding that Laura Bailey voiced:

Spoiler

Isara from Valkyria Chronicles, who is a somewhat timid yet very smart engineer who is also very kind and generous.

At the same time, she also voiced:

Spoiler

Shin Chan, a loud and obnoxious little kid who is rude, dimwitted, and crude. (At least that's how Adult Swim portrayed him)

Boy, talk about contrasts.

Did you know she also voiced lust? [spoiler/] lust is awesome[/spoiler]

Tara strong is an awesome voice actor and one of my all time favorites. Raven FTW

John dimaggio did this [spoiler/][/spoiler] and did this [spoiler/][/spoiler] I got a lot of them

 

[vivster]

for games i'd say dragon age and uncharted

for specific voice actors my favorite is still Liam O'Brien

Kevin Conroy voiced the God Damn Batman. Your argument is invalid. #BATLOGIC

Frank Welker also did a lot of vocal sfx work for the DCAU. Basically, if you've heard an animal growl or any sort of vocal effect in anything ever, it was probably Frank 'Soundwave' Welker. He's been in more Batman aninated series than Kevin Conroy.

Fact is, if you've seen Batman The Animated Series, yeah, Kevin's done some good work. But... that's it. If you've ever seen a cartoon at all in the past thirty years... Frank's done something in it, from the obvious Megatrona and Freds to the subtle vocal effects and animal noises.

Dude was Station and the Devil in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, the voice of Catwoman's cat in Batman, Odie from Garfield... and he's been doing this for YEARS. The only stuff he doesn't get his fingers in are anime dubbing, and the stuff done by Ocean Park in Vancouver. Everything else probably has his fingers in it somewhere.

MONKEY FROM DEXTER'S LABORATORY!

Nibbler from Futurama!

Seriously the hardest working man in the business.

 

[A Free Man]

I always thought it was funny that Mila Kunis who is crazily hot voices Meg from family guy and they are practically opposittes.

 

[Skrag The Summoner]

FYI tom baker is the narrator in little Britain

 

[maxmanrules]

I was surprised at all the people I recognized in Mass Effect 2, especially Adam Baldwin playing Kal'Reegar, a marine dude who only shows up for a little bit. (You get to choose whether he dies or not )

 

[Soxafloppin]

I watched the old Mortal Kombat Cartoon Defenders of the Realm (so bad its good) and I just realised that Ron Pearlman voices Kurtis Stryker.

 

[Roofstone]

Vamp from Metal Gear is Hermez from Futurama. Only one I can think of on the top of my head, but Phil La Mar does alot of different things. So prolly more.

 

[Zeema]

Patrick Stewert voiced the King in Oblivion! How shocking! =O

makes me actually feel sorry for throwing a Spear into the back of 'The King's' head. then eating the corpse

 

[Lt.Snuffles]

Can't remember what shes called, but the voice actor for princess peach is the same for cortana from the Halo series and zoey from l4d

 

[Reaper195]

Elmo is voice by a large black guy, as was Kratos, and Alucard in the English Hellsing Series and OVAs is a skinny white guy who sounds like...well, like a normal guy when speaking normally.

 

[Weresquirrel]

Here's one for any MST3K fans in the house. Do you remember the episode Hobgoblins? Remember the creepy MC from Club Scum? That's the same fellow who voiced:

Spoiler

Spottswoode from Team America: World Police

 

[Gordon_4_v1legacy]

Here's one that absolutely floored me:

The english voice of Teknoman Sabre.

The guy in red, who is basically the evilest ************ in the show, was voiced by a man called Paul L. Schrier. Best known to many as....

Spoiler

Bulk from Power Rangers. Holy shit

 

[tombman888]

Jess Harnell.
Just some:
-Wakko Warner (Animaniacs)
-Spyro (Hero's Tale, Shadow Legacy)
-Crash Bandicoot (Tag team racing, crash of the titans, mind over mutant)
-Doctor Finklestien (Nightmare before Christmas games and Kingdom hearts)
-The Plumber and the Smuggler (Ratchet and Clank series)
-Captain Hero (Drawn together)
-Ironhide and Barricade (Transformers) making him the only voiceactor to voice both a autobot and decepticon
-He also voiced a character in "Up"

Damn amazing

Simon Templeman when I heard him in mass effect 2. He voices Admiral Han'Gerrel vas Neema and Dr. Gavin Archer.

His voice is awesome , older gamers should remember him as Kain from the Legacy of Kain / soul reaver games.

He is also rumoured to be working on The Old Republic in some form to which would be awesome.

And also hearing Michael Dawn in ME2 was a surprise to though it was brief.
Same for Robin Sachs to, was awesome to hear him take on the roll of Zaeed as it totally fits his voice.

 

[Gabanuka]

Dee Bradley Baker voices all these characters.

Since it's not entirely clear the second image is the Gravemind from Halo.
Talk about both a diverse and strange range....

Perry doesn't really need a lot of voice acting though.

He's also Loghain from Dragon Age Origins.

 

[k-ossuburb]

Pretty much all of these the first time I saw it

[/QUOTE]

One of these was the one I was going to put. The same person who voices Princess Peach also voices Cortana from Halo. Hm, helpless women who are either captured or almost captured by reptilian monsters, TYPECAST MUCH?
