SPC's Voice Acting

[rcom88]

*Emerging from the shadows*

Hello all. Sonja Ball a.k.a Polly Esther now has an official website:

www.sonjaball.com

Very cool!

Thanks for the link.

[Blackcat]

Thanks a lot for the information, I have added to the list of stuff needed to add to my long delayed webpage update.

The official page for the man who gave Guido his sexy voice ...

Respect.

Wow, he's done a lot of voice acting.  Aside from  it says he was also the Narrator.

Samurai Pizza Cats (CINAR/SABAN)—Narrator/Guido/Various

I saw that too. Whew... I'm glad I'm not the only one that didn't recognize he did the narrator's voice.

Greeeat find once again, Louie!

I reeeally hope to see Rick finally get his site finished/updated some day. It's been a long time...

I hope so too, D-Mac.  Going by most sources online to date, he was the voice behind Speedy Cerviche, my favorite male lead in the series (thus why I have the character's likeness as my avatar).

I'm sure he did other bit parts in SPC, but that's his main role.

[D-Mac]

Oh ho ho! Rick Jones is undoubtedly the voice behind Speedy. Listen for the 30 second mark in his voice demo below. Discovering this years ago basically inspired me to pursue voice acting. The guy can seemingly do it all, and is someone I learned a lot from studying, along with Terrence.

Awesome!!

I doubt it was him in Double Trouble for Princess Vi

This info isn't related to voice work, but it is related to one of the actresses on the show; Pauline Little appears in a few episodes of "Are you afraid of the dark?" as Aunt Dottie (the tale of the lonely ghost), Ruth Buckley (the tale of the shiny red bicycle), and as a librarian (the tale of prisoner's past).

Just wanted to pass this along for anyone that's interested.

[A-Log]

In order to give live back to this thread, I have some useful information. I got in touch with Terrence Scammell on LinkedIn and asked him about the characters he voiced. Turns out we were way off on that, and here's the correct voices for the following:

Richard Dumont as Emperor Fred
Mark Camacho as Jerry Attric
Mark Hellman as Bat Cat and Cannonball Batterly
Michael Rudder as General Catton & Cosmo
Arthur Holden as Spritz T. Cat and Yard Bird

So to Truro, yes, you were on the nose on it being Arthur Holden (I think). As for Rudder, he is also a reporter and nearly got killed during an attack in Afghanistan. With that, I'm sure many fans would fix the cast lists (such as when we found out that Michael O'Reilly voiced Bad Bird), but do we also know who else voiced any of the other characters? Especially with the fact that there were a lot of voice actors that didn't get credited throughout the show? So far, we've seen a few Wikipedia entries on several other Canadian actors and actresses who may or may not have been a part of the show. Your thoughts? Anything you've found out in the past few years?

You got in touch with Terrence Scammell? You're lucky.

I have no info to add, but I would like to say that I'm surprised by the info; I thought Jerry Atric was voiced by Terrence Scammell for a long time now.

Another thing that popped into my head: doesn't Meowzma sound like a gruffer version of Bad Bird? If so, then I think the guy's voiced by Michael O'Reilly as well. Any other characters that sound similar to the other that could be a match? Remember, most of the cast is Canadian.

The forum's a little dead in the past few months (with the exception of the updates from the character designer's blog), so here's something to liven this up a bit.

What I have is a couple of demo reels from the cast of the English dub (credited or not). Lets see if you can connect which characters they voiced on the show (main, robot of the day, or otherwise) with a visual clue.

Mark Camacho (Jerry Atrick):

Mark Hellman (Emperor Fred):

Sonja Ball:

As for Sonja, I've added her visual demo because even I'm starting to doubt her voicing Dee Dee and Carla (the latter I've always thought was voiced by Pauline Little).

And one minor update: I've contacted Anik Matern, and yes, she voiced Ruby on the show. About to check in if she remembers any other roles she had there. Wish me luck.

I'll give it a shot--not just because it sounds like a good idea, but also because, I too, want to breathe some life into this place.

Both Delmont Rallye and Steroid Lloyd sound just like General Catton.

[rcom88]

I recently found out that both Mark Camacho and Sonja Ball were on Arthur. It was one of my favorite shows growing up, and I think it's pretty cool that they were on it.

Many apologies, but I don't hear the similarities. Maybe I'll check a few episodes to be sure. I'll provide a few more clips from shows they voiced in later on.

I almost forgot to mention: for the clip from the anime "Wizard of Oz", does anyone notice that the princess sounds a bit like Princess Vi?

Now that you mention it, yeah, she does.
