This man is a true legend... nowadays most voice actors are just holly wood types that are playing themselves as the voice... all 1 dimensional.

Mel Blanc did it all, supremely iconic characters for decades and you'd be none the wiser that it was all one man because of all the dialects and morphing of his voice.

No voice technology either... one of a kind.

a very rare human genius. :D

He's the standard that I hold all voice actors too lol. Hence why I cringed at Jerry Seinfeld in the Bee movie... holy crap what a fail. But then most actors that just 'lend' their voice to a character makes those characters so transparent and uncreative. Hence why Mel is King!

Voice acting isn't just about getting the voice down! It's about mannerisms! Not claiming to be a great voice actor but i made many people laugh in high school and in college imitating professors. :D

i always wanted to be a video game voice actor! Michael Bell and Simon Templeton are my favorites along with Wes Johnson. Fun stuff!

I appreciate the art... but suck at it myself. Mel makes it look so easy. Amazing that he was the pioneer in his field.

Everyone pitched in. it was like a soul group got together and made magic happen. :)

Take off, eh. He was the Mckenzie hosers' dad, too.
