I know Old Toon Slash is not very popular around here (largely due to comparisons with his superior portrayal in the Archie comics, I expect). However, Fraley's voice was merely a reflection of the character design. He said as much in the recent DVD interview. Fred Wolf Films' Slash was a doofus (but a charming doofus, IMO) with big buck teeth, and Fraley played him as such.
I am smitten with his portrayal of Krang, especially in the first season. His inflection of high pitched squeels to baritone "burps" convinces me what a sentient brain would sound like.
And remember, Fraley was not originally going to be the voice of Krang, as the crew was already preparing to use a different actor until Fraley showed up and awed them. Can you imagine how we all would have been cheated out of the true Krang experience had Fraley not intervened?
