Well there's still Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Christopher Lee, Malcom McDowell, Roddy McDowall and others, not mention Vincent Price and Claude Rains. But than again, there's still voice actors who known mainly due to their voice. It's ideal, actor's work without the recognition.
Somethings are overrated which really churns my butter because some great stuff out there will be overlooked and be dropped due to poor performance on box office or ratings (TV). Anne Rice's vampires although meant for the same thing as Twilight, they at least can be taken seriously.
It's gaining popularity and pretty mainstream now, I see the TPB being sold in HMV and stuff.
Oh yes, those are definitely loved voices. It doesn't get any better than that. And yeah, I know what you mean. I am a voice actor lover. I have an ear for that sort of thing. David Kaye being my top love. His voice is pure ear candy to me. I would probably love to be a Voice Director, I would have jobs for him all the time. biggrin And yeah that was a very good way to put that. That's what's so great about being a voice actor. I would hate to have to put up with being an actor, because you have all sorts of weirdos trying to catch you in the wrong, you know with paparazzi and all that. It's so dramatic. But then you have voice actors, and they have nice private lives, with a few obsessed fans here and there, but it's all good and you are making decent money.
Yeah, I know. It's a crazy world. And it seems that stuff is made only to appeal to teeny bopping girls and overly femine boys these days. I don't think I have heard of Anne Rice...... I don't keep up with most things these days. The only way I know about anything is if a family member mentions it and if it doesn't catch my attention or tickle my fancy, then I usually ignore it. I don't really watch television anymore. I haven't watched the television for more than 7 months now.
I personally don't know if I'm a particular fan of any voice actor outside of the stuff I enjoy and each voice has had a ton of roles, more than any actor. Most of the time I hear their voice and I say "Hey, it's that guy from *bleep*" But I'm familiar with Tony Jay, Tara Strong, Josh Keaton, Nolan North and a bunch of anime guys.
I don't watch the telly either, but I know shows get canceled for whatever reason ratings, funding or other so a dedicated follower gets no payoff. It's betrayal to the loyalty but it's not really the makers' fault and nothing can really be done about it.
Yeah, I do the same thing. I'll be like "Ha, that's -Whoever- doing voice work for a Hot Pocket Commercial!" you know, or whatever I hear them on. I am all for the anime and video game voice actors. I love Nolan North, he seems like such a fun guy!
Yeah there is always stuff going on like that. I usually just here about that stuff much later than it happens.
Personalities of the v/a is usually expressed in some of the characters they portray I guess. I guess Frank Welker is just a menacing guy.
Man, they'll put up anything if it sells. Doesn't matter if it's good, original or well made. That's sad.
I don't know, when I think about Frank Welker, I think, Scooby Doo, Fred, Garfield, you know the neighborly voices he does. He seems like a neighborly guy. And I know he does Megatron's voice for the Movie, but I just can't think of him as a menacing guy and I guess my mind goes to David Kaye when I think Megatron. But a menacing voice and a menacing man would have to be Tony Todd. Man, is he menacing!
And yeah, it's a damn shame how we get shitty stuff on the telly. That's one of the main reason I stopped watching television. If I do watch anything, it's usually the news, and I try not to watch that for very long.
Well, when I think Frank Welker I think Dr. Claw, Megatron and Stripe. So uh, I guess he's nice. No one who does cartoon voices can be vilainous I suppose. What? C'mon, Christopher Walken as himself has Tony Todd beat.
I don't watch telly at all, only use TV is for gaming or movies/shows on disc.
