Final Fantasy Xs Wakka (John DiMaggio) also voices Kimahri, who also voices Bender from Futurama and Jake the Dog from Adventure Time..!
And Marcus Fenix from Gears of War.

I've always wanted to do it. I've done amateur voice work before, but I'm not great at it if I'm not into whatever I have to do it for. I want to go to training for it so I can be a profession for it some day though.

I have no idea if there's any I'd want to do better though. There's tons of awful examples, but none specifically I'd want to do.

I would LOVE to be a Voce Actor.
Even if was just simple grunts for a silent protag.

And as for the character, Komamura from Bleach, Cell from DBZ, Rallin from Spectrobes, a Character from the MegamanX/Starforce/ZX series, well.....lets just say there are a lot of voices id love to do.

I do voice act for my own cartoons on my own channel (Not Advertising).

To me: Voice acting is a fun way of acting without people looking at you. And what with my embarrassment with things I am, Voice acting is the best way of getting yourself out there without getting yourself out there.

I would love to do voice acting. I have been told i have a good voice for radio (as well as the face) but have never found a way to start.

I can't immediately think of any role I would be a better voice for. Though there are a few dubs I reckon I could do better.

I couldn't possibly be a voice actor. I have too average a voice - no accent, no interesting pitch, no nothing.

I'd end up like Nolan North or Mark Meer.

But I would love to be, if I was Irish or had a throat full of razorblades.

All this being said, I can, when pushed, do a favourable impression of Atlas from Bioshock. Gahdam sploicers...

You stay away from my one redeeming voice quality.

Besides most Irish people don't talk like people think we do.

Very true. That's why I'm able to do a favourable impression of Atlas from Bioshock, because all you have to do is a really really fake sounding Irish accent.

I personally love the real Irish accent, I think it should be used more often. Go forth and voice act! Though prepare for studio execs to tell you to 'Irish it up a little more'.

Unfortunately my accent isn't even counted as Irish. I have the un-canny ability to change it when I choose without it sounding fake.

And while I would love to voice act I don't see how to start. Also the fact I'm going to be starting a computer programming course in about a week would severly hamper my time to go look.

nahh my voice is way too deep to play anything other than a bear or maybe a russian. Or a caveman perhaps.

Well hey, that's how some people do start. I know many have specific training, but sometimes a programmer or someone on the dev team ends up doing the voice acting. At least, he does at Valve. So if you end up in the games industry through programming I reckon that'd be a foot in the door towards voice acting if you wanted to give it a shot.

My problem is I don't know if I would get into the games industry. But I am aware that stuff like that happens and would love it to happen to me. Heck if I had a better laptop I would start making let's plays for practice.

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.
Ye Gods! Hubilub is Swedish like me?

Anyway, I'd love to be a voice actor for some anime.

Now that's something I've got a good voice for. Utterly deadpan. Excuse me while I steal that idea.

I've tried to do some voice acting for stuff that I've wrote, but I find it surprisingly difficult - I can actually do fairly good impressions, but when I'm not doing them spontaneously, it's difficult to put my voice in the right place. I can't imagine how professional voice actors can develop such a range, but it gave me the tiniest insight into how difficult it can be.
