Here's a photo of the entire cast of the original series (click for bigger):

where did you meet these guys Rose?

For people who have met the turtles actors in person (of any cartoon) do their natural voices sound anything like their character voices? Which actor do you think sounds the furthest from his characters voice?

I have not met them but I can tell you that Barry Gordon sounds almost exactly like Don, Paulsen sounds like Raph mabey not as high pitched, Clarke sounds like a grown up Leo and Coleman sounds nothing like Mike.

these guys are from the 80's cartoon right? What about the actors that voice the turtles in the 4KIDS cartoon?

I think Sam Reigal (Don's actor) and Mike (Leo's actor) sound very much like the characters they voice. John Campell (Raph) and Wayne Grayson (Mikey) sound in my oppinion pretty diffrent from the turtles they voice.

in Sam and Mike's case I think Sam while voicing Don pitches his voice a little higher and makes a bit geekier than his own speaking voice. Mike while voicing Leo I feel softens his voice and pitchs it slightly higher, but over all they both sound the same.

With John Campell his natural speaking voice is much diffrent its not nearly as deep or gruff sounding as Raph's voice, John's voice much clearer sounding and lighter than Raph, and nice he sounds like a pretty laid back guy. So except for certain inflections John sound nothing like Raph.

With Wayne Grayson I think he sounds the most diffrent from the turtle he voices out of all of them. Seriously he sounds nothing like Mikey at all. Like John I think his natural voice is much clearer and lighter sounding and much less raspy and scratchy than when he does Mikey's voice, and well...adult sounding, heh.

I think it is funny that in both toon Michaelangelo voice requires the most characterisation from their actors than the other turtles who pretty much use their own voices with some minor alterations to it.

As a freshman in high school, I had a friend who sounded like classic 'toon Mike. And, he looked like Kurt Cobain. Everybody though he was 10 years older than he actually was.

Sinterniklaas sounds alot like Leo, but more freindly.

Campbell/Frankson sounds nothing like Raph.

Grayson sounds nothing like Mikey.

I've never heard Regal talk, but he looks like he has Don's voice.

I've met Mike Sinterniklaas, Wayne Grayson and John Campbell all at one point or another in the last two years and got their autograph. John was a first for everyone last year that attended AnimeNext. That was so cool. ^^

Mike's a blast to hang out with. He loves talking with his fans and spending time with them. He's a bit of a geek and loves tech toys like cameras, computers, etc. He always has something that he's constantly playing with. He's sort of goofy too in that he likes to be silly. Look up some of the videos where he's messing around. He's funny.

Townsend was at Comic-Con in 2006 (for the Tick, which was just coming out on DVD) and Rob is at Comic-Con every year. That picture is from last year.

Does any one know who does the voice of Splinter in the cartoon version on 4KIDS? What is he he like?

[Sage Ninja]

The guy who does the voice of Splinter is Darren Dustin, and suprisingly he is a young guy instead of an old one. That was actually a shocker to me.

I think this is what I like about voice over actors. Most of them seem like really nice down to earth unpretentious people who love interacting and being social with their fans. They are like regular people with just really cool jobs I would really like to meet these guys some day.

I once went to a function and some of my favorite soap opras actors where there and most of them where nice but there where a few that after meeting them I felt disapointed because they wheren't exactly nice, and it kind of ruined it for me.

I agree. We seem to have the same taste

[Jelly Bean]

how come they got such a young guy to voice Splinter? They couldn't get an actual older man to do it?

I'm not saying that Darren Dustin does a bad job, I like how he voices Splinter I'm just suprised they gave the role to a young actor.

[gobo]

Please, let's call Mr. Dunstan by his actual name. I know you were just following Sage's example, so don't take it too personally, Ms. Bean.

[Sage Ninja]

sorry I guess I did have his name spelled wrong

Can some one tell me who does the voice of Chaplin in the new toon?

Also if some one can tell me who does the voice of Shreeka in Shreeka's Revenge?

[wubat36]

Didn't Corey Feldman do a voice of one of them? I've never met him though.

Eartha Kitt provides the voice of Shreeka.

He provided the voice of Donatello in both the 1st and 3rd movies.

[Jelly Bean]

who does the voice of Gen the Rhino is it the same guy who voices the Garbage man? I think there voice sound a bit similar. Also who voies Usagi? He sound very much some other 4kids cartoon character but I can't make out who.
