Donatello's Voice

Weird Pizza · 02-11-2006, 12:47 PM

Isn't it weird when they have that other guy doing Don's voice? He sounds dorky instead of normal like the normal Don. It never bothers me though... I kinda got used to it. I wonder where the real Don was those day's....

Funny how he had to change his voice in the Part 2 Movie as well since Cory Feldman couldn't do it at that time.

**Jester** · 02-11-2006, 01:20 PM

What are we talking about? Do you mean the voice used in Mutagen Monster, the episode where a supermutant bull attacks the boys and Shredder?

I was never sure why they lost Fieldman for TMNT 2...I wish he'd stayed on.

Barry Gordon (Donatello's V.A) was active in other projects, thats why he wasn't always able to voice are lovable brainy turtle.

I just hated how the alternate voice sounded like Scooter from the Muppet Babies ugh!

But I could tolerate Scooter Donatello, I completley louthed Raphael's stand in, no one pulls off sarcastic, smartass Raphael like Rob Paulsen.

On this note, I'm glad these two where the only ones that had stand ins, because Leonardo and Michaelangelo just had too distinctive a voice to have occasinal replacments fro them.

If you look at the very helpful "voice cast" section on the this beloved site, you will see:

Donatello (1989 Alternate) Greg Berg

Raphael (1989, 1993 Alternate) Hal Rayle

At this point in time i can't remember Donatello's alternate voice,

it's not as distinguishable as Barry Gordon's. Not memorable in other words.

You say Donatello's replacement had a geeky voice Weird Pizza, well that how Hal Rayle comes across to me, it sounds both goofy and geeky and resembles a teen who's just broken into his deep voice. No disrespect to the VA, but it just didn't suit the Raphael we're used to. Rob Paulsen's voice seems more calmer and spiteful, meaning his funny insults can sound more hard-hitting.

Weird Pizza · 02-11-2006, 04:21 PM

I can not recall Raphaels alternate voice for the original cartoon.... however I do recall him having another one....

Yes you are correct Sage Ninja it sounds very much like Scooter! Pretty funny stuff!

**Jester** · 02-11-2006, 04:30 PM

Sounded like, cause it was...

Weird Pizza · 02-11-2006, 04:59 PM

Wow the same guy who did Scooter did Don huh? That's pretty cool! I used to love the Muppet Babies!

**Jo Dawn** · 02-12-2006, 02:15 PM

Well...

I liked the second movie's Don voice, though I like Feldman, too... I just hated that stupid 'nyuck nyuck' crap they did. I thought the second movie's voice was more 'Don'. Calmer and all. I very nice voice.

And, I do believe that Corey Feldman wasn't in the movie because he was, erm... incarcerated.

**GK Punk** · 02-12-2006, 08:50 PM

Corey Feldman Don > All other Don

*Dr. Doom* · 02-12-2006, 09:18 PM

I hate Corey Feldman as Don. Whoever cast him was drunk/hugh/stupid as hell at the time. Feldman getting tossed into rehab was a blessing for the series, because it allowed the creators to find an amazing Dontello in Adam Carl, if only for one movie. I mean, I really can't understand anyone thinking Corey Feldman was a good choice to play Donny unless they a) have no clue what they're talking about when it comes to TMNT, or b) are completely blinded by sheer love and devotion to the original movie. Since I wouldn't dream of insinuating that you guys don't know your **** (cause I love you all....well, most of you), I'm assuming it's the latter. Honestly, objectively, would you ever cast Corey Feldman in the role of Donatello over someone, I don't know, RIGHT for the part, if he wasn't cast in a previous movie?

Also, I very well may not even look at this thread again, unlrss I catch wind that everyone agrees with me, cause I like my opinion better than anyone elses.

DOOM...AWAAAAAAY!!! -=There's a large green POOF, and Doom is gone, but his maniacal yet lovable laugher remains, echoing in the distance=-

Doom makes me cry

*Masked Ninja* · 02-12-2006, 09:24 PM

That is one of my pet peeves of the TMNT movie... I love it in almost every other way, but why why WHY do they make Don a Mikey clone?

*iris* · 02-12-2006, 10:14 PM

They cast Corey Feldman as Don to make the purple-wearin' stick-wielding geeky turtle "cool." The end.

I like Corey Feldman. I like Scooter too.

But neither of them are Donatello. And Donnie is cool all by his lonesome, thankyouverymuch.

*Masked Ninja* · 02-13-2006, 06:08 PM

A cookie! Score!

*Coola Yagami* · 02-13-2006, 07:52 PM

Did Leo have a voice change? He sounded alot more serious and had a deeper voice in the first eps and second season. After that, he had a more annoying and whinier voice for the rest of the series. When you watch 'Blast from the Past', you really hear the contrast in voices between the more current Leo and the Leo from the original 5 eps.

He got busted for drug possession....ahh the harsh downfall of childhood stars.

*Sage Ninja* · 02-15-2006, 02:36 AM

Am I the only one that likes old toon Leonardo's voice? Honestly it wasn't a bad voice people, even when his voice became higher it still maintained that leadership quality. I actaully think his voce was pretty cool sounding, and even a bit sexy **hided face behind hands** i thought his voice remembled more of a teenager later on. Cam Clarke's voice beat the hell out of his live action voice. But I've said this before.

But you know, all the turtles in the classic toon had rather high sounding voices. Even Raphael, even though he very easily could make his voice deep when he was aggravated. Actually I think out of all the turtles Michaelangelo had kind of the deepest sounding voice of them all

, which I find a tad strange because he is portrayed as being younger than the rest of the turtles.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 02-21-2006, 11:12 AM

I think the movie voice's for Leonardo and Donatello didn't do them much justice. Makes them sound as immature as Mike.

They were supposed to have been, what, age 14 or so? Plus back then when you heard a cartoon voice it was usually... well... cartoony sounding.

They just made Mike sound stoned all the time, that's why his voice was lower. Duuuuude.
