SPC's Voice Acting

[A-Log]

Sorry for the delay, but I have a few more voice demos to share.

First, here's Michael O'Reilly's demo. In it, you'll hear proof that he voiced Bad Bird, but could you also pinpoint his voice to any other characters (one-off or not) from the show? Give a listen:

And here's Michael Rudder's demo. We recently found out (thanks to Terrence Scammell) that he voiced General Catton and Cosmo. Recognize his voice in any other characters?

More demos when and if I'll find them.

Thank you for sharing.

I appreciate your effort in helping keeping this place alive.

Thank you for sharing.

I appreciate your effort in helping keeping this place alive.

Much obliged. Don't why the forum's a ghost town as of late. Normally, most fans would research this stuff. I'm sure there will be some more active fans to spring life back into this forum soon.

Also, I think I'm correct about O'Reilly voicing Meowzma. Take a listen and see a little hint of his Bad Bird voice in him, and see what I mean.

I'm definitely hoping that there will be more life to this place; this is a great place, and I hope it keeps going.

For a while, I've been trying to correct several mistakes in the Samurai Pizza Cats English dub after nearly 20 years or so. So far, thanks to Wikipedia of all things, I find out that there's two more uncredited voices for the show --  Bronwen Mantel and Aron Tager (Tager's FB manager confirmed this to me, but Aron doesn't remember much; sent him a link to a couple of YouTube videos to jog his memory.). Not to mention the fact that Terrence Scammell told me several characters that were supposedly voiced by him were not so. (ie, Mark Camacho voicing Jerry Atrick, not Scammell.) I've wondered on how many other mistakes I made in the past, so I decided to this little experiment. Starting with the episode "Mission in Manhattan", I made voice clips of each of the guest characters (excluding the Geisha robot from that episode for now), and test your deduction skills.

First up is The Sundance Kid, the leader of the New York City Pizza Cats. Many say he's voiced by Rick Jones, but after hearing the episode after a long time, I doubt that to be true. Here's the link to the clip:

https://app.box.com/s/jose83u60nqh9ycdixw3vekxdfqy0dmr

As for Cosmo, we know he's actually voiced by Canadian actor and reporter, Michael Rudder. Take a listen and see if me and Terrance are correct on this judgement:

https://app.box.com/s/y8p535d77st38okq28kntyq9m9yyg76t

Next up is Dee Dee, the mistress of the group. I don't think that I can recall Sonja Ball voicing sexy characters, so this might be a different, albeit uncredited actress. Take a listen:

https://app.box.com/s/jtlgn4gjtptzsh5wcww2qqlj53avctwj

Abigail, the group's Francine, has a bit of a New Yorker accent that sounds a bit different than Pauline Little. Have a listen, but I'd be surprised if that's Mary Long (Canadian Molly/Naru) having a one-off guest spot:

https://app.box.com/s/c7n6o41ikeklxuuxtmlke42u6g39w5mw

Next on the chopping block is Lucinda, the city's version of Lucille. Sounds a little high pitch to be Lucille. My money's on Pauline, but I doubt it. Have a listen:

https://app.box.com/s/5tk6ispi6zh3yb0myud5v03ggnfj600f

And finally, we have Sir Chester Chedder, Big Cheese's uncle, and one of his relatives in the US (there was a cousin Jack mentioned during the reunion scene, where he mentions that he's from Monterrey). Sir Chester only has two lines, but I'm sure he'll be recognizable to those who've seen Canadian dubs of anime back in the day:

https://app.box.com/s/fnblhfd5lq17za7kipl08z40t32uds4x

So, that's it for now, hope you guys can figure this out, and see if you'll be surprised on what you can guess. Any updates will be added when I get some good leads.

I will say that I greatly admire your dedication to this cause.

Also, I think it's awesome that you were able to be in contact with Terrence Scammell.

Much obliged. Besides, somebody's got to bring some life into the forum.

I feel the same way.

Honestly, this is a good site. But unfortunately for me, I came much later than what I was hoping for (2010).

[rcom88]

I do remain optimistic about life being brought back into this place. There's also forums on this site that are not related to SPC/KNT, which I think does make a difference.

[A-Log]

Looks like they're a bit harder than I thought. I'll go for an easy discovery or two.

For one, I think that Jane Woods provided the voice of Empress Freida and (probably) a few other side characters. Take a listen for her role of Lisa (in "David the Gnome") and see if you can hear what I can hear:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMdflpRwwgQ

Also, my theory on many of the SPC cast going around for several anime dubs in the early 90's might not be far off, since we also venture into another show for the chibi crowd, "The Adventures of the Little Koala". From what I can tell, one of the penguins that's voiced by Bronwen Mantel sounds a bit like Junior. Take a listen:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-syqurvKao

Apologies for the quality, but you'll see what I mean. Bronwen also voices a character named Ms. Lewis, so I'm sure the voice she gives for her might be familiar to you. Not to mention, that after a few more listens, I think Bronwen might also be Carla. I'm unsure, but I still wouldn't be surprised if Pauline Little was Carla, since she and Francine sound similar.

Let me know what you think. Hope you guys can figure out the NYPC characters as well.

Well, in regards to the first one, it is definitely the same voice actress. The characters she voices are vastly different, but there's no mistaken the voice behind the characters.

Bronwen does voice those two characters, as you have said, and Jane Woods does voice "Mama" Koala/Vera.

[A-Log]

Indeed. Here's hoping many of the fans that remain, including the ones like you and me, will continue to update the cast list with corrected versions. I also e-mailed Jane, but I haven't heard back from her yet. Also, I might make clips to compare and contrast throughout the year.

Just got a response from Terrence, and he confirmed the following for the NYPC episode:

Sundance Pierre Paquette AKA Pierre Kohl
Cosmo Michael Rudder
Dee Dee Jane Woods
Abigail Jane Woods
Chester Arthur Holden
Lucinda Not 100% positive on this one. I would need to hear a  longer sample to be sure. It might be Pauline, but I suspect that it's probably Liz MacRae.

Surprised to see that Pier Kohl voiced Sundance! And also surprised that Jane Woods also voiced Dee Dee and Abigail. Didn't expect that woman to have that much range, let alone give off the air of a sex kitten for Dee Dee.

Also, here's what Arthur Grosser (voice of Bad Max) has been up to:

He's doing some online poetry reading. In some of these, you can hear a bit of Bad Max in them. Check them out!

Nice going.

I think it's awesome that you email him and get a reply. I would love to do that with all the SPC voice actors/actresses.

You've done some really nice research here, A-Log. This really helps a lot given the lack of official credit info.

Thanks dude! Right now, I'm still waiting to hear back from Terrence about the rest of the voices, including some of the robots of the week and other one-shots. Hope to hear back from him soon.

[rcom88]

It would be nice to hear from him as, like you said, it would give us the info that we've been looking for.

Honestly, I do appreciate the effort you're putting it--not just to finding out the info, but also in doing your part in trying to keep this place alive.

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the compliment. And don't worry, once I'll get to the rest of Guido's work, this forum will be active again! Either that or a new Pizza Cat resurgence.

I'll just chip in here with more thanks towards A-Log; I've been away from here for far too long, but things like this thread is just the thing to get posts back here.
Just a quick question, was there any reason the credits never showed who voiced who, or is that just a common theme shows like this?

I think it was a common theme back then for some shows. And I might be wrong here, but those credited for the voices were probably for the main cast, hence the confusion for many years. Anyway, I've got a couple more audio links to present soon. I showed them to Terrence and I've yet to hear back from him. Anyway, expect another post soon.
