The best voice actors of all time


September 6, 2010

Bernardo Villela over at The Wilmington Movie Examiner has taken a look at what he considers to be the 10 best voice actors of all-time:

10. Lorenzo Music (frequently credited as L. Music)

Music will have mostly television credits but most are significant. He is most well known for being the one and only voice of Garfield for years, sadly he passed before the film version and Bill Murray stepped into the irreplaceable part. His other credits include Peter Venkman on The Real Ghost Busters and Tummi Gummi on The Adventures of the Gummi Bears. He broke into voice work as Additional Voices on Hannah-Barbara’s The Jetsons.


9. Maurice LaMarche


He is perhaps most well-known as being the voice of The Brain, however, Maurice LaMarche has a much more flexible voice than most people realize playing stints as several characters including: George Wilson on Dennis the Menace, Chief Quimby on Inspector Gadget and recently on a straight-to-DVD film Inspector Gadget, Popeye, Egon Spengler on The Real Ghost Busters, Dizzy Devil, Scuttle on the TV show of The Little Mermaid, Orson Welles in Ed Wood, Jeremy Hawke on The Critic, Pepe Le Pew in Space Jam, video game incarnations of Yosemite Sam and Wile E. Coyote; Alec Baldwin in Team America: World Police, not to mention many narrator gigs, more than 200 credits total.


No prizes for guessing the winner though :)

The secrets of great game voice direction


July 20, 2010

John Walker over at Rock, Paper, Shotgun has a great feature on voice direction for games:


A few months back for PC Gamer I investigated voice direction by speaking to those who get it right. I spoke to LucasArts’ David Collins, responsible for directing Monkey Island, FunCom’s Ragnar Tørnquist about creating April Ryan and casting The Secret World, and 2K voice director Jack Scalici who is responsible for the enormous voice cast of Mafia II. I also spoke to two of the most respected voice actors. Dominic Armato is the voice of Guybrush Threepwood, and Sarah Hamilton plays April Ryan in the Longest Journey games. Below they discuss the craft, and express their passions and frustrations about voice acting and directing.


Read the excellent feature here.
