Who's your fave Raphael voice actor

NightwatchersOnlygirl · 09-15-2005, 07:43 AM

My fave is Frank Frankson,he gives Raphael that deep sexy voice

*Masked Ninja* · 09-15-2005, 07:49 AM

Argh! It's been so long since I've seen the first movie! I think I liked that version of Raph.

Though I really do like him in the new toon; the only thing I would change is to make that deep voice a little more youthful and a little less "I've been smoking for 30 years."

*Sewer Bull* · 09-15-2005, 07:53 AM

Argh! Only Rob Paulsen really counts!

*Buslady* · 09-15-2005, 08:25 AM

Josh Pais, a REAL lower east side New Yorker; Raph voice and performer. Nobody beats Josh.

*Weapon X* · 09-15-2005, 01:13 PM

Be nice If a poll was on this, but Rob Paulsen is the best voice actor, just going by the toon voices, it was such a witty sarcastic voice, which fit the character.

*zkarlette* · 09-15-2005, 01:13 PM

I have to say I really Raph's accent on the previous movies , and the sarcastic Rob paulsen was funny, but I like Frank Frankson too , I really like Raph's voice on the new toon, It does sound more mature and well...

**Jester** · 09-15-2005, 01:20 PM

I love Rob's voice...but it only really fits the OT Raph. I do like Josh Pias and the NT raph to....NT Raph is probably my altime favorite....

OA · 09-15-2005, 05:24 PM

Gotta go with Rob on this one...and I agree,it woulda been nice if there was a poll attached

Yeah, any other voice just sounds weird until you get used to it. The voice changes are the only downside to such a long running series...

**Jo Dawn** · 09-15-2005, 09:53 PM

New toon Raph and the movie voices. I love Rob Paulsen... but he really only fit OT Raph...

I love the one now.

*Mars-Chan* · 09-15-2005, 10:18 PM

I love them all, but I gotta agree with Buslady on this one.....Josh Pais all the way. And Frank Frankson as well.

Little bit off topic, but in the first TMNT movie, was that Josh or Frank in the backseat after Raph rolled across the Taxi cab's hood going "What the heck was that?!". I've always thought it was Frank, but then I go with Josh and then I wind up infuriated with myself....

*Sage Ninja* · 09-15-2005, 11:03 PM

it depends on the medium for me. Rob Paulsen was the best and fit the classic cartoons version of him well, I never cared for the alterante voices that would occasinally fill in for him.

But as for Mirage-ish type Raphael's voices, I'm going to go with Josh Pais voice. His was the best at portraying the hard ass, moody, violent thug that he is portrayed in the mirage comics. Also like how he was able to be caustic as well. He had the perfect cussing voice and its a damn shame that he wasn't allowed to say anything more sever than damn and bitchin' I also felt that he soundee a bit sexy as well

Frank Frankson is pretty good but I do think that he sounds a bit to old to be teenager, I wish he would soften his voice just a little bit more. Other than its a good voice and does the job. I would be peeved if they re-casted another voice for new toon Raphael.

That was Josh. Ol' Frankie wasn't even really in the voice acting business until well past 1990, aside from one gig in '87.)

I think I prefer Josh Pais' version of Raph. He's snappy, he's got the NY accent down solid, and actually sounds like a teenager vs. Frank's 30-year-chainsmokin'-Raph, like Masked Ninja mentioned. Frank's grown on me however. At the beginning of the new series, I was pretty disgruntled about his voice, so much so that any time Raphael would talk, I'd pause and rewind, just to make sure that was him talking and not another character.

"frank frankson" or whatever he likes to call himself had nothing to do with TMNT back then. That's Josh in the cab. They did silly cameos like that all through the movie. the pizza dude was mikey, the foot who slaps april was donnie's actor(or stuntman, i forget) and i dont remember what leo's actor was.

Um, he has the 'NY accent down solid' cause Josh lives on 7th street in the lower east side, he was born there. Like I said, he's the best cause he IS a real New York dude. He's got the 'tude, dude.

*Buslady* · 09-16-2005, 08:50 AM

Someone mentioned they would like to see a poll to go with the Raph voice thing, so here I'll take the initiative and post it. I dont mean to steal Raphsgirl's idea but since she can't go back and post a poll, I'll do it. If I can figure it out.

I'm not including COOTS cause it was crap anyways. Just on screen performances.

edit: wow, how'd this note get pushed down here?? it's supposed to be up with the poll???!??!!!

Jo269976 · 09-16-2005, 10:20 AM
