Which voice over actor do you most sound like?

[on:]

I sound technicly like John Dimmagio, but yet I can do all of Billy West's Characters really good (i.e. Zoidberg, Zapp Brannagin, and Richard Milhous Nixon *AROOR*)

[Reply #1 on:]

Would love to hear that; record yourself doing a few impressions and upload it somewhere!
Or is anyone else up for that? A PEEL thread with fan recordings?

[Reply #2 on:]

I'm pretty sure ther is one already. Waitaminute while I find it...

[edit] Actually, don't wait, because I've decided it's too hard to find.

Pffth, quitter.

Your Best Impression...

I'd love to be able to do a Futurama impression, but my accent would kill any attempt on the spot.

[Reply #4 on:]

Teral, its not down to your accent, somepeople I know have heavy accents (scottish and victorian  ) but that doesnt stop them

[Reply #5 on:]

I do a great Zoidy but he's the only one.

[Reply #6 on:]

I sound a bit like Billy West if I pitch my voice just right. I can impersonate Fry, Farnsworth, Smitty, Leo, and Nixon perfectly, but Zapp and Zoidberg still sound off to me.

[Reply #7 on:]

(Thank you Teral for the link.)
Wow Grim those impressions were great and really fun to listen to. Impossible to tell that you're from Australia. I can't impersonate anyone, ever, except for Ralph Wiggum. (and who can't?)

[Reply #8 on:]

I sound a good deal like Billy West. More so when I'm sleapy and start mumbleing like he kind of does on the DVD commentarys.

[Reply #9 on:]

I can do Dave Herman's 'Scruffy' voice.  And that's all.  Curse my forced and nasal larynx.

[Reply #10 on:]

I'll come back and edit this, but for now I'll say Phil Lamar, because I love doing Samurai Jack's voice evey now and again.  (Also Aku, but that's offtopic)

[Reply #11 on:]

Im not perfect but i can do a few voices (improving every day)

1.Zoidbery (ish)
2.Richard Nixon
3.Zap
4.Scruffy (ish)

i will have to do some recording some day, when i can get me mic, 

[Reply #12 on:]

I do a great Scruffy and also a good Nixon.

[Reply #13 on:]

I can do a mean Robot Devil...

I'll probaby soon even look like him... >

[Reply #14 on:]

Fry or Amy, I don't know, maybe Nibbler sometimes... A little bit from everybody!

[Reply #15 on:]

Most non-wireless headphones can be used for a mic, connect it to the mic input and talk into the left (IIRC) speaker. It's not great but it works.
I have not even tried to do any Futurama voices, and I'm not very good at doing voices, especially not in English...

[Reply #16 on:]

I sound like LaBarbara (dont know if thats Dawn Lewis's actual voice) except not as strong anymore.

[Reply #17 on:]

i can do zoidburgs whats this? real good and i can do hermes and hermes mit brainslug
but i have voice talents out of futurama!
i.e irish accent
helium voice
boy whos voice has just broken
vegeta (but off but ok)
and tonnes of animal voices but thats it!

[Reply #18 on:]

I don't think there's one voice actor I sound much like in particular. Impressions I can do palatably include Nixon, Horrible Gelatenous Blob, Free Waterfall Sr. and Judge Whitey, although the problem with Whitey is that sometimes I make him sound a bit too much like Lloyd Grossman. 

[Reply #19 on:]

Hmm...if I try, I can probably sound like Amy.  Leela...well, it's hit or miss.  I can kinda get the pitch, but my voice doesn't have the same quality at all.  If I sound like anyone normally, it's probably Michelle.  Which is funny, 'cause if my boyfriend's voice was a little higher pitched, he'd sound exactly like Fry (he can already do a decent Nixon impression...well, he's got the "aruu" down.  It's actually kinda cute  )

[Reply #20 on:]

if i tried to sound like any of the futurama characters i'd fail miserably.

[Reply #21 on:]

You and me too, Allison

[Reply #22 on:]

The voice actor I sound most like is surely Katey. I can do a right on the spot impression of her Leela. I guess Leela's also the character I sound most like too. And I can do an even better impression of Leela singing. Though my Amy's not too shabby either. And I've also discovered I can do a pretty satisfying Zapp impression.   

I can't do Fry or Bender at all. but at time my professor ain't too off...

*bold used to point out whether I sound like a voice actor OR a character- there's a difference.   

[Reply #23 on:]

As far as characterss go:  Morgan Proctor mixed with Heather mixed with Amy.  It seems I have moments I sound like Leela, more often when I'm not trying.  I must say, though, I do the Marge Simpson hummy growly thing a lot...

[Reply #24 on:]

I have a friend who can do a great Roberto impression, does that count?

[Reply #25 on:]

how many people have b/f or g/f here?
i dont.....

[Reply #27 on:]

You should start a thread about it. 

[Reply #28 on:]

If we were to extend it to commentators as well, I can do a (very dodgy) Rich Moore, and a passable Claudia Katz.
In terms of who I sound most like generally...
probably Tress MacNeille, though I don't have anything like her range, but I sound a little like her and her laugh is pretty similar to mine
ie, insane, loud and evil.   

If you ignore the fact that I'm English!

[Reply #29 on:]

psssssst... sil is mom.

[Reply #30 on:]

I can do Fry and Nixon fairly good...

Ages ago there was a comedy record of the Watergate break-in, and I (then) could do all of the characters on the recording.

Nixon: "Come on boys, they'll never corner us in the Oval Office."

*panics in zoidberg fasion* "WHOOOP WHHOOOP WHOOOOP"

[Reply #33 on:]

I can do zoidbergs Whoop pretty well and the deeper voiced characters like zapp and morbo.

[Reply #34 on:]

I can do a lot of Billy West's characters (Zoidberg, Zapp, Nixon), but not Fry. I can do a couple of DiMaggio's as well (Sal, Mr. Panucci).

[Reply #35 on:]

i was just thinking, if i ripped my teacher's tonnsells (I SUCK AT SPELLING)out he'd sound a lot like Fry.

[Reply #36 on:]

Just talking normally, I've been told many times I sound like Amy. I can impersonate Cubert and Tinny Tim pretty well, and I rock at talking like Nixon. I can sing like Leela and Fry if I try. That's about it...

edit: Oh! I can sing like Farnsworth, too...

[Reply #37 on:]

I can do a passable Nixon and reiterate the word "swish" in an almost Fry-like manner. Apart from that I'm not too good at impressions.

[Reply #38 on:]

I don't really sound like any of them 

[Reply #39 on:]

I can do Zapp, Nixon, Kif, Zoidberg, Roberto (A personel favourite), Beezlebot and Bender.
I have a cold at the moment though so they come out all warbly.     
Benders voice is a bit tricky because he changes his tone and the way he says things very often. If anybody can do a good Fry, I will be awed.
