No.

That man's silky-smooth voice might be the only voice I actually recognize or enjoy hearing more of, so you've pretty much covered it.

Nah

The celebrity culture around voice actors is cancerous. A truly great voice actor should be unrecognizable and able to fill many different roles.

Would that involve voice actors having enough range so everyone character they play won't sound the same, returning to an era where voice actors weren't really recognized and not displayed in the limelight like they were gods, or both?

Yeah, exactly. I find the current climate too similar to Hollywood, where they get actors who can do one voice, and then put them in everything, often times these voice actors are just normal actors like Kieth David. Although I do actually like Keith David, what I really despise is stuff like Tara Strong and that guy who does every video game protagonist. Being able to recognize an actor's voice despite them playing different characters should be a sign that they aren't a talented voice actor.

What about if you have a pretty good ear? I mean, considering that on average Frank Welker's done like what 25 voices in one show?

I think part of the fan admiration to VA's (and people wanting to become VA's) is that from a shallow outsider perspective, the job sounds easy, fun, you gain fans without being recognized/mobbed on the street like a Hollywood celebrity and you get to be a "participant" of the cartoon industry.

When in reality most VA's have had some sort of theater or acting experience (so it's not easy as it sounds) and doing many voices in a short span can be very hard on one's throat causing problems when trying to get more voice roles.

Nolan North? Troy Baker?

>>991279

>Nolan North? Troy Baker?

Fuck them both.

>>991279

How about no?

>>991351

I noticed that a lot of voice actors had some musical background. Is this common?

>>991298

Just out of curiosity is the Japanese VA culture worse since they get treated like royalty?

No one can touch Mel.

TT G0!

I like Tom Kenny. Not the greatest but he seems to have some variety.

Clancy Brown, Mark Hamill, Hugo Weaving, James Doohan, Michael Ironside, ‎Elias Toufexis, Reuben Langdon, Steven Ogg, Alesia Glidewell, Ellen McLain, Peter Tuddenham, Michael Dorn, Steve Blum.

I'd like to see more stuff with the theoretical VAs from Youtube, like Markiplier, Nyanners, Eileen Montgomery.

I think Lord Jazor is pretty good as far as youtube VA's go.

>>991298

Give an example of a VA that is able to be unrecognizable who isn't a literal who.

I should add Darin De Paul and Abby Craden to that list after Doom 2016.
