Who is your Favorite Voice Actor?

[Reply #120 on:]

I noticed that because John DiMaggio pointed it out on the commentary. Also, on A Fishful Of Dollars, when Mom's son Larry (voiced by Dave Herman) says "More like 4.3 billion! Hahahahahaha-- ow!", I swear he's being voiced by Billy West in that scene. Could be wrong though.

[Reply #121 on:]

No, that is Billy in the dialogue, although it seems to be Dave Herman who does the "ow!" - and where he says "that's a good boy" as Fry swallows the pill; that's Billy again.

[Reply #122 on:]

I thought so!   

But back to Tress, I just find it odd how few multi-voicing female actors you get on Futurama when you consider there are around six regular male voiceovers, all of which play multiple roles.

[Reply #123 on:]

I see what you mean.
But I think in general, (prepare yourselves for a sweeping statement) there are a lot more recurring male parts in Futurama as a whole.  It's pretty hard to differentiate between voices too, I'd say there's only a certain amount of that particular discipline that can be "learned."  Most of it is probably a case of either you can do it, or you can't.

i wanna be a voice actor!
i think billy is great but john just gets it for when he plays drunk bender!
its da boom! (baaaaad joke)

[Reply #125 on:]

John's got such a cushy job 'coz he gets to play clones of his characters who sound exactly the same! Bender and Flexo, Jack Johnson and John Jackson... 

[Reply #126 on:]

Random noticing-ness: Check the credits for the Animatrix. Kath Soucie, Tress McNeille, Tom Kenny, Phil LaMarr, and (get this) John DiMaggio all show up.

Also, I saw Tom Kenny as "Santiago" in Comedy Central's movie "Windy City Heat." Cool, no?

[Reply #127 on:]

Billy West, most definatley. I mean, geez, the Professor, Fry, Zapp...numerous other characters, and last but not least, Zoidberg!! How can you not admire this guy?

[Reply #128 on:]

Has to be Billy West, if just for the excellent voice of Zap.

[Reply #129 on:]

The voice of Amy (i think it is Tress McNille) is great and of course Billy West.

Amy's voiced by Lauren Tom. I'm going to pick her, especially for the frequent Martian bits and "fl'uh!" (and all derivatory exclamations :P)

But I could have gone with Tress McNeill (pretty sure there is an 'e' in there) because of her versatility, or Billy West for the same reason.

EDIT: sorry, the Morbo question had been answered before  *blush*

I notice that everybody overwhelmingly voted Billy West as best voice actor, and I'd have to kinda agree. He is the most talented and versatile and I love Zoidberg and Zapp.

But I still say that John Dimaggio deserves my vote because of his always hilarious ad libs. Nobody does them better. And that takes talent.

[Reply #132 on:]

i have to throw in the late Phil Hartman. he was a great talent .

[Reply #133 on:]

I had to vote for Katey, here, because of her beautiful singing voice.  Personally, I'd like for her to try her hand at singing, in addition to acting.

[Reply #134 on:]

My favorite voice actress is Dawnn Lewis!!She does the voice for the great Jamaician woman Labarbara Conrad!!!!

[Reply #135 on:]

my fave is katey segal is great and does leela so well shea got the "im a lady, but dont mess with me voice" and i think its cool!!

[Reply #136 on:]

i couldnt vote because there all good.

[Reply #137 on:]

Billy West (obviously) ^^

[Reply #138 on:]

I voted for Billy West

Also welcome to peel 25_star_general!

[Reply #139 on:]

@cfg: Piss, those pictures aren't really allowed anymore. And if you want to post one, just post one.

All the actors are great. I can't pick just one.  All are so talented.

Welcome to PEEL 25_star_general

For the official welcome:

Welcome to PEEL, 25_star_general. Enjoy your stay at Nerd-World.

(And THAT'S how you do it)

Also, my favorite is Billy because of all the voices he did. But otherwise, they are all talented. Alot better than me.

[Reply #141 on:]

I like Billy West the best. Although I love the way John DiMaggio did Bender's voice, I love how Billy can change his voice so much for each character.

I agree w/ everything in the preceeding post 100%

[Reply #143 on:]

I really Maurice LaMarche too, his Kif and Morbo/Lrr/H.G.B. are really funny, not to mention the star trek fan Melllvar and Calculon ++

[Reply #144 on:]

Katey Sagal ... because Married With Children will remain forever among my fondest moments of nostalgia.

Though they all rule, really.

[Reply #145 on:]

Billy won my vote by being Ren and Stimpy and (the original) Doug and Roger, and being on futurama.

Oh and for being the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee and the Red M&M.

Though I would also vote for 'all' if given the option.

[Reply #146 on:]

John DiMaggio.. man his beatboxing is awesome, he's halarious.
Billy comes in a close second. Too close, really.

[Reply #147 on:]

John *does* do some hot beatboxing, I do have to give it up for that.

[Reply #148 on:]

I voted other, although on my thread i voted Billy West, i feel i need to vote differently on this one, just for the amount of voices (all different) Dave Herman does. He does a load of good voices.

[Reply #149 on:]

My number one is Billy and my number two is Frank Welker, both of them have incredible talent, as do the others, but they also have previous cartoon experience, Billy with Ren and Stimpy, and Frank with Scooby Doo and Transformers

[Reply #150 on:]

I voted for Billy West, but John DiMaggio is great too. Actually its hard to choose since most of the voice actors on the show were some of the best.

[Reply #151 on:]

Billy rules

[Reply #152 on:]

Im going with Billy, I like what he did on both Futurama and Looney Tunes

[Reply #153 on:]

I've got to go with John Dimaggio, with BIlly as a close second.

[Reply #154 on:]

Maurice LaMarsh (sp) is very good as he does such a variation of characters the best being Lrrr and Mellvar. Tress McNeille also does many female voices in the show. However if you listen to Billy West on the commentary for Branngian Begin Again duting the cortcase he does such a funny impression of the Slurm Worm that he has to be best.

[Reply #155 on:]

Billy West because he does my three favorite characters, Fry, Proffesor Farnswoth and Zoidberg

[Reply #156 on:]

Either Billy West or Frank Welker

[Reply #157 on:]

I've got like two. Katey Sagal and John DiMaggio. Katey is a sweetheart, and I LOVE her songs. I want her CD "Well..." and John Dimaggio is the fuuniest guy with a hilarious voice!

I DUNNO WHICH TO CHOOSE

Billy West Is Kool 2

[Reply #158 on:]

I can believe my post got locked. How was I suppose to find this after a year of the last post. My vote for Maurice this time. How can you not like Morbo or Calculon?

[Reply #159 on:]

Billy West for sure! He does such cool voices I mean come on Zoidberg!! The professor and Fry!!! Loads of my favourite characters. He also does many more cartoons like Ren and Stimpy etc He's a GREAT!!! Voice actor!
