I've been interested in the art of voice acting for a long while. Some of the more notable voice
actors/actresses I learned about are Frank Welker, Jim Cummings, Tara Strong, Rob Paulsen, and
Tim Curry.
I've tried doing some voice acting myself, and I think I am pretty good at it.
The characters I have done impressions on include Goofy (I can do a good Goofy laugh),
a hillbilly-like character I made up, Stitch from Lilo and Stitch, and even Emperor
Palpatine from Star Wars.
What I learned while doing impressions and looking up information on voice acting is
that while voice acting not only do you change your voice for a character, but you also
adopt the personality and mannerisms for the character you're acting for. My uncle,
who is a big Star Wars fan, said I matched Palpatine's character quite well when
doing an impression of the Sith Lord.
Have you ever tried voice acting? Let me know.
I absolutely love and enjoy doing it. I can do a very good impression of a handful of characters, such as:
Vegeta (Dragon Ball)
Lumpy Space Princess (Adventure Time)
James (Pokemon)
Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic the Hedgehog)
Filburt Shellbach (Rocko's Modern Life)
Imperfect Cell/Perfect Cell (Dragon Ball)
Yami Yugi/Atem (Yu-Gi-Oh!)
Master Splinter (TMNT 2003 Series)
