Voice Changing

[Time Mistress]

Speaking of Gummi Bears, one of them sounds just like Raph. You've got to love Rob Paulson.

She says she hates old toon Raphael because he isn't tough, and no amount if explaining to her gets her to understand that this was a completely diffreent version of the turtles and they had diffrent personalites.

But then I don't think its just the ninja turtles that she busts on. Any cartoon from the late eightes or early or mid nintes she cracks on because of all the animation mistakes and campiness that was promonate in toons of that time. Seriously I almost fliped on her when she started nit-picking on my Gummi Bears cartoons...oh God...

you mean captian planet for instance or Tex Avary, or maybe bonkers, some of the great toons from my childhood. Lol i wish some of those would come out on DVD, oh and lets not forget my fav Darkwing Duck

yeah, I remember. The bear's name was Gusto, and he lived out side the colony (if I remember right) and was the artisic one as well as the inventor. iloved Rob Performance of Gusto he was awsome.

But as far as voice changes go, does any body know why exactly these characters actors had to have stand ins for? Where they just buisy in other projects or what? I notice that in todays cartoons they seem to be more strict about actors voiceing their parts. I hardly ever hear stand in actors in cartoons today unless it is a permenent voice change.

I LOVED Townsends Krang. Much more fitting than his SHredder which I thought was Cring worth . As for Raphael replacements, the only one I didn't like was the one from 'Turtle Terminator.' The 1996 Raphael was probably the best with Michael Gough a close second.

Shredder 1993 WAS Townsend Coleman .

His Bebop was pretty darned close to Barry Gordon. And Townsend Colemans Splinter was so close, as a kid I never noticed it. Untill I found out Vernon and splinter where the same guy.

Gusto Gummi! Couldn't remember his name. I wonder the exact same thing about VAs Sage Ninja.

While I ADORE Jim Cummings. Avery will always Shredder to me.

I have to say that the Krang alternate voice was the worst. I really didn't like that one. Maybe I'm alone, but the alternate Donatello seemed the closes to the regular voice. The Raphael and Shredder ones were a little annoying, but not as bad as Krang's.

I wonder why this happened so much in TMNT too. He-Man never had any stand-in voice actors.

I know I should probably know this, but I don't. While watching my DVD's of the original series, I noticed of all the cast, Shredder's and Don's voices changed more often to different voice actors. This show had more voice changes than in any other show I can remember.

So, why exactly did the actors change multiple times between the two?

Sick days, other acting gigs, probably anything that meant they couldn't actually be there when they needed to start recording.

Fresh Prince two-parters were very time consuming for ol' chrome dome.

Dont think that way, I used to. Every little thing that I didnt like I would compare it to He-Man and how He-Man didnt do it that way.

People get tired of being reminded that they arent He-Man. Even though its true, they arent even close.

The voice thing baffles me. If I remember right (which there's a REAL good chance I don't >.>), some of the voice actors doing multiple parts were replaced for one part, and seemed to be present. Maybe they just needed a break. You should see my poor roomate when she's been doing her Mikey voice too long XD

I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to post these links.

I'd always compared Shredder and Krang to an old married couple! XD

I would bug this poor man to death. I wonder if he ever uses the voices on his wife, and kids. I so would.

"Honey, I want my binky. Where's my binky? Is it in here?"

D'oh... yeah my Mikey voice can be rough on me sometimes when I've been using it for too long. >_<

In Season 3 I hated the replacments for Don and Raph but you get used to them after awhile.
