Shredder's voice?
 

New toon, but NM Shredder's voice sounded cool...

new show .. but first movie was good to

New cartoon. But the old cartoon Shredder's voice was funny. Just the fact it was the voice of uncle Phil from Fresh Prince of Bel air is funny in itself.

New toon. Old toon is a close second. Can't diss Uncle Phil.

I really can't decide. The Shredder isn't one of my favorite characters (I have nothing against him), so his voice doesn't matter that much to me.

New cartoon :)

Shredder's voice in the old toon was made by Uncle Phil's actor?

Yup James Avery.

i cant really picture him doing the voice .... did he do it for the entire run of the show or as long as there was a shredder

From 1987-1994

and then William E. Martin 1994-1995

Cool, I didn't know that the Shredder's voice was done by James Avery, here I didn't get the cartoon with the original voices. I liked Avery in Fresh Prince of Bel Air, great actor :)

Well whaddaya know...

What's just as funny/interesting is that Phylicia Rashad(cosby mom) guest starred in an episode. She played Dr. Jane Goodfellow's voice in the episode What's Michaelangelo Good For.

i remember hearing that "uncle phil" did a voice but i had forgotten about it .. and i dont think that i knew for what charicter he did it for

Old cartoon Shredder. He had such an awesome voice. New Cartoon Shredder is cool, but it's kind of weird how it has some sort of echo or distortion when he wears his body suit. I can't believe that 4 people did the voice of Shredder on the old cartoon though. Still, no voice can compare with James Avery's. I often wonder who the 1989 alternate voice of Shredder is, I don't think it's in the voice actor list.
Edit: nm it is, but it's labeled as the 1991 alternative.

Shredders voice in TMNT 2003 rocks!
I like shredders voice in TMNT 1 movie too. ;)

The Next Mutation's voice was good too, "A Stick?! And what did the turtle have? A pink flower?"

that is a good NM line....my favorite actually, but i have to vote for James Avery fromm the original toon. Nothing beats his "YOU IDIOTS!!!!"

That is so cool! I did not know that either. I loved Uncle Phil, and when I watch the old toons Shredder & Krang's schtick still makes me laugh.

Interesting how no one has voted SuperMan Legend yet; his Japanese translate is so funny.

Old toon fo shizzle.

I remember when I first discovered who voiced Shredder from the old toon. I was sat watching Fresh Prince and then Uncle Phil said 'knuckleheads' and I just stopped :| and it all clicked

I quite like the old and new toon voices, both suited different moods

Just because the dialogue (which I assume you mean, and in response to your NM voice comment) was funny doesn't mean it was good voice acting.

Heh, I didn't know that til semi-recently either! When ya listen to somma the clips on this site of The Shredder you can totally tell.

There was one voice actor I didn't like, and that was the one that was in "Shredderville". It was too... pushed. It always sounded like he had a hard time breathing.

The new toon voice as far as I remember was pretty cool too. A bit of a toss up, but since I am a loyal old toon fan, I voted old. :shredder: :D

I have always liked the voice of The Shredder in the first movie more than anything else in the TMNT universe.

It would take an African American guy to do the voice of a Japanese guy! :p (Sorry if I sound politically incorrect... a friend of mine said it, and I couldn't stop laughing)

For me, it's tough. I like James Avery's Shredder, and the New Toon Shredder...

I do recall Jim Cummings took over for Shredder for a bit, but in an interview he said he didn't like it too much. I remember him saying something like "I wanted to ask, can we do this on a Friday, so my voice can heal over the weekend?)

You know... I would have never known Shredder was Uncle Phil if I didn't see that episode of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego!

HUH??? what WitWiCS ep??

The OS (original series) Shredder voice was by far best IMO. Plus of all the VA's that did Shredder's voice on the OS, he made the funniest moans and screams. Yeah I knew James Avery, Uncle Phil on Fresh Prince was Shredder's VA by just listening to him. He sure doesn't look like a Shredder, and when I listen to Shredder, he sure doesn't sound black. But a good VA can disguise their voice well IMO.[/quote]
