Title: The Simpsons Voice Actors Improv Videos
Post by: D-Mac on August 11, 2005, 07:32:44 am
These guys are awesome.
I'm just shocked at how amazing they all are at getting into, and staying in character. And in some cases, switching between them.
I really, really hope I can one day be anywhere even near that level. :O

DOWLOAD FOR MAXIMUM AWESOMENESS.

Harry Shearer and Dan Casawhatever on Conan O'Brien (http://www.voiceacting.com/videoclips/simpsonsvoices.wmv) (6.31MB, about 5 minutes)
I really need to learn Dan's last name. >_<
Some pointless trivia, Conan was once a writer on The Simpsons during its earlier years, and even created the "Sea Captain" character.

Pretty much the entire cast, on "Inside The Actors Studio" (http://www.spicytuna.net/interesting/vids/simpsons.wmv) (22MB, 21 minutes)
Yeah, It's long, but just... so... cool.

I wish I can be as good as them. I would love to be a voice actor and do voices. I can do voices, I'm just not sure I am as good as they are.

Wow. I'm now 99.9% positive that anyone can reach the level of those Simpsons actors, as long as they're willing to invest the time in practicing and learning how to project a voice.  =)

Now I'm not saying I'm there yet, or even close, but I'd just recorded something for someone's flash cartoon (I've been working for free. Awesome. o_o) earlier this week, and compared it to the exact same line I'd recorded back in late February.
The difference nearly scared me half to death. @_@ 
With what I've picked up the last few months, I now think most of my old stuff is awful.  :D

Though time-consuming and a little frustrating at times, I've found the hobby of online voice acting to be a heck of a lot of fun, and Andy, if you think it's something you'd like to get into sometime, then feel free to ask me anything about it.  :)
