Would you be a voice actor and why?
Are you kidding??
It's really my professional dream. I love doing VO work!
I do a bit beyond that piece linked above, and I do it because I just love it! It's a blast!
Nevermind the crappy pay and sparse work, I just love the job.

No. I only know one Voice Actor (He goes by the name Baron von Baron in VA work. CaptainWii on Deviant Art). He's a self-proclaimed cynic (I don't like cynics) and he has an ego. "Ego" meaning, when I thought that perhaps Keith David didn't sing in Princess and the Frog per se, maybe using a second party, he verbally castrated me saying that, "voice actors don't do that."

So no. A thousand times no.

On a side note, if you find his work, critisize him. He gets enough compliments from most of his friends already. I actually got a second opinion on a 'shop he did, agreed with the error, and pointed it out (it was discoloration of a person's skin, lower right side of their face. Not huge, but noticeable). His response was basically, "I didn't do it.". Fun, instead of 'Thanks' or 'Oh, I can fix that' or even, 'I meant to do that', it was, 'That's not my fault.'

It would be pretty dang fun, yeah.

Though since I'm Swedish, I would just be forced to either play a Russian or a German guy.

Because that is all Swedish actors get to do outside of Sweden.

What about Alexander Skarsgård in Generation Kill? I don't he played a russian or german guy there.

Nah, his father played a Russian/German so much that part of his genes turned Russian/German. Therefore, Alexander Skarsgård is not purely Swedish!

Man, I would love to be a voice actor.
I, at times, try to mimic voices in games or shows. I can get pretty good at it too. No where near perfect, but pretty good for just some guy.

I wouldn't mind Voice Acting for the Venture brothers actually.
Such a good show, and most of the voices are done by like three guys, and you can hear that too.

What would Hitler say?

This phenomena must be reported to a racebiological institute at once!

QUICK! We need a Swedish person to play Hitler so we can get some answers!

I would work as a voice actor, I think I could do a pretty good job. I bet I could have done great as Raynor's voice in SC2, they messed that up pretty bad.
But... it's the same voice actor as SC1! :O

I know, but in SC2 it just doesn't seem right.

A lot of things are. Plus you're being recorded so you just try again.
So? These guys were being recorded too.

My mom walked by when this scene was playing.

She asked: "Are they crazy?" XD

The zombies in Left 4 Dead 1 and 2. I don't think I could have topped Mike Patton, but I do a lot of weird monster noises (great for freaking people out) and would have had a blast doing those voices.

I would actually like it. However I don't have a good expressive voice, so I wouldn't get the job.

Anyways, if I could I would probably be on a Psychological Mech anime.

Man, I've often thought of this. It'd be a real sweet gig, huh? My hero's Charlie Adler. He did voices for some of the best games (Ignus from Planescape Torment, various characters from Fallout 1 & 2) and a slew of cartoons in the 80's. Come to think of it, Dan Castellaneta(Homer Simpson) is probably the most well-known voice guy.
