Tress Is The Best!

John Dimaggio, on one of the Futurama commentaries said about Tress McNeil, "Tress it the best!"

He's right.

Billy West is my favourite, but she's good too ...

Do we really need a seperate thread or your questions/opinions/thoughts on all the voice actors? Make a huge thread about them all...

She's certainly one of the best female voice actors ever... but at the risk of sounding sexist, there's not much competition from the girls' front.

She's got nothing on Billy West, that's for sure.

Tara Strong says Hi.  I would say if Billy West is the man of a thousand voices, then Tara Strong is the woman of a thousand voices. 

Tress is pretty fantastic.  She certainly has the monopoly on evil old ladies the way Cree Summer has on sassy black women.   You can always count on Tress to give a very entertaining performance, whether she's Mom, Petunia, the Gypsy or the Grand Midwife.

Only June Foray comes close.

Not so sure as you might think.

Its not a competition.    Tress is fantastic, as is Billy.  Futurama just wouldn't be the same without either of them.  

Though I think Tara Strong is easily one of the best voice actresses around.  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0152839/  That's a loooong list to scroll down.

Pretty much all the people we've mentioned are on this page, too! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ManOfAThousandVoices

Mary Kay Bergman was a wonderful voice actress too, certainly worth a mention.

I disagree on the grounds that she doesn't seem to have ever voiced a character that isn't a frail old woman.

I'm well aware of Tress' work and I stand by my statement.

Granted, she voiced "Granny," & "Witch Hazel," in Warner Bro's cartoons.
Also:

Rocket J. Squirrel.
Natasha Fatale.
Betty Rubble (once).
Scary Mary (Married With Children)
Happy Little Elf (Simpsons)
Raggedy Ann.
Nell Fenwick (Dudley Do-Right)
Ursula (George of the Jungle )

You're allowed.

She is awesome, Mom is the best evil cartoon character ever.
