I would like to point out that an admin at behindthevoiceactors.com said that Hal Rayle told them he never voiced Raph.

It's a draw between the Next Mutation & 2K3 Raph. Both are motorcycle rebels!

*Jephael* · 03-06-2013, 06:53 PM

No contest, it's Rob Paulsen!!!

rufus · 03-06-2013, 10:13 PM

Josh Pais Is my favorite of the voice actors so far.

*tone-master21* · 03-06-2013, 11:06 PM

Went with Rob Paulsen

dudeabides · 03-06-2013, 11:16 PM

Gotta be Paulsen he's the only one I can distinctly hear in my head when thinking about Raph talking. He sounded his best when yelling 'Go green machine!' imo.

hitmonkey · 03-06-2013, 11:55 PM

For the longest time it was Josh Pais, but man, Sean Astin has completely won me over. He's hands-down my favorite Raph now.

*Shark_Blade* · 03-07-2013, 02:59 AM

Only Raph I like are OT and Nick Toon. The other Raphs sounds like they're shouting most of the time, so I didn't enjoy them much.

So in this case... I have HUGE respect for Rob Paulsen OT version but I gotta go with Nick's Raph. I like his rendition the most.

Gwydion · 03-07-2013, 12:08 PM

This was a hard choice for me as I actually really like a lot of Raph's voices, but it came down to Rob Paulson and Sean Astin as I tend to prefer him without a Brooklyn accent. Really I could have voted for either, so I went with Sean Astin simply because he had fewer votes.

Yorae · 03-07-2013, 02:30 PM

Its a toss up between Josh Pais and Frank Frankson for me. Nolan North gets honorable mention as well.

#1 for me is Josh Pais. " ohhhhh, so that's the plan from our greeeat leader huh, just sit here on our butts."

*Refractive Reflections* · 03-07-2013, 06:45 PM

Gotta go with the legendary Rob Paulsen, his on-the-spot tone of voice when making witty remarks and being able to seamlessly transition from being light-hearted sarcastic to fighting angry/peeved (without sounding corny; his anger was rare compared to the other cartoons, but it still happened) showcases his talent. His vocal talent could keep up with the broader spectrum personality that Raphael was depicted in.

Most of the other voice actors of Raphael only really excelled at being short-tempered/angry, and it isn't too impressive. I'm not saying the others are horrible, but the character depictions of those cartoons/movies of Raphael were more restricted and couldn't give them a chance to display their range.

*ToTheNines* · 03-08-2013, 05:21 AM

Josh Pais gave such an amazing performance as Raph, had to go with him. Looking back, I've always been bummed that he only got one movie, but the older I get the more I think it's better that he stayed away from those sequels

I love Astin though, he nails all of his lines and comes off as a believable teenager.

Well that's effing stupid. Considering no one is gonna vote for Rayle, Pinto or Gough... and Sebastian Arcelus was by far the best Paulsen impersonator.

Digital Ghost · 03-08-2013, 05:30 AM

Josh Pais... Rob and Frank coming in close behind.

Sean is doing a GREAT job though.

He was one of my favorite parts of Turtles Forever.

Couldn't agree more. Every time I hear Raph in Turtles Forever I have to double check that it isn't Paulsen.
