Your favorite voice actor

John DiMaggio is my favorite. He always has this lovely habit of being a background character with his own voice which makes you (for lack of a better word) squee with joy when you hear him.
Im not sure he counts since he isn't human. He cheats by using his alien magic to voice act and be in everything O_ORoundhousekickintheface said:
I don't know if he's my favorite, but Mark Hammill does a great Joker [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb8fWUUXeKM]. He also has had a rather lengthy career of amazing voicework. [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000434/] Plus...he's Luke Skywalker- sorry, but it had to be said.
seconded, It was a pleasant surprise to see him in command and conquer 3, although technically he wasn't voice acting there...park92 said:
I've got Dave Wittenberg (Welkin from Valkyria Chronicles) and Dan Woren (Byakuya Kuchiki from Bleach).
Pfft, my favorite voices are the ones I always hear. My brother and I looooove hearing those familliar voices. Steve Blum and Phil Lamarr in particular due to their expansive number of things they did, both of which I can identify off the bat. Tons of others too, particularly from anime, but the way they work, the same groups are used often.Snotnarok said:
That's your opinion and that's fine, I like diversity or at least an attempt to change the voice the way it sounds but he got popular because of his voice and well it sticks. Which is fine, I'm being overly critical, but when I heard him in Doom 3 I literally paused it and looked at my brother and said "Seriously Spike is even fighting demons on mars, it's crazy"Kiutu said:
A lot of good voice actors have been mentioned. Rather than re-listing some of them, I'll add a few more.
Kevin Conroy - THE voice of Bat-man. No matter what Bat-man movies I see, his is the one that comes to mind when I read the comics. He's done several of the animated series and animated movie versions too. He's Bat-man in the new Arkham Asylum game too..thank goodness.
Michael York - Used to be in lots of movies and games back in the 80's. One of the games I most remember him for is that game with the great combat control system Die By the Sword. He plays the 'so brilliant he's a little crazy' type characters in games and movies so well.
Peter Cullen - He is great as Optimus Prime. I'm so glad he is still around to do the new movies as his voice really helps tie the movies to the classic cartoon.
That deep voiced guy who did most of the movie trailers back in the 80's and 90's and who died last year or so. Can't remember his name, but everyone who's gone to the movie theater in the last 20 years or so has heard him do the voice overs for the trailers. I think the last thing I heard him in was one of those insurance commercials where the 'real person-not an actor' tells his story and they hire some celebrity to help them tell their story. Some of those were funny, including the one he did.
