Hey Everyone, for this post I thought that I would do something different and talk about someone that I like to watch on a regular basis when going through my YouTube subscription list.

On his YouTube channel Mikey Bolts he makes all kind videos such as cover songs, Vlogs, and Impressions of different characters from several television shows with over 1.7 million followers and his videos reaching as high as 4 million viewers he never fails to keep his viewers entertained with his Family Guy and South Park impressions.

YouTube is home of so many talented people some of which are constantly being noticed by starting on YouTube and ending up on T.V.

I think that it is nice to see someone such as Mikey bolts who isn’t necessarily a celebrity but a person is simply doing what he loves and showing it to the world.

The video that I have to show you guys today is with Mikey bolts doing different cartoon character impressions, He signs songs, and talks in their voices throughout the video in an interesting and comedic way.

If Characters Voices were to change

Hey you guys,
So I had this little conversation on the phone with a friend and we were talking about how we would feel if we watched are favorite show and the main characters were suddenly done by different actors. I would like to know What you think about this.

Voice Artist of The Week

Sometime when I sit here writing these post I feel like I just sit around watching cartoons and trying just figure out who’s voice it is…As awesome as that sounds I don’t do that, however on my free time I do sit around googling random things, for example I don’t know… who speaks for SquidWard in the Show SpongeBob SquarePants, Which happens to be a guy by the name of Rodger Bumpass.

Although Rodger is mostly known for his role of SquidWard, like most voice actors he is a man of many voices. Rodger had also done voices for television shows such as Invader Zim, Cars, Ice Age, and Monsters University, and he has played voices for video games such as Infamous, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and Mass Effect 3.

Growing up in Arkansas Rodger got started with acting in high school in the schools theater program then he attended Arkansas State University where he majored in radio and television with a minor in theater, while doing this he had the opportunity to do jobs like announcing, cameraman, and audio technician, so throughout his years in college he became a well-rounded individual with quite a bit experience in television.

The video clip I have for you guys today is just a quick interview with Rodger Bumpass at an Anime convention in Sacramento. He explains a little bit about how he got the part of SquidWard as well as some of his other favorite characters he has played.

This person has been in several movies and does voiceovers for cartoons as well, one show in particular that catches my attention when I’m not binge watching family guy. She started off acting in movies such as Boyz n the Hood, Poetic Justice, Friday, and in 2005 Miss Congeniality 2, her name is Regina King. Regina King grew up in Los Angeles and eventually graduated from University of Southern California. Regina has been nominated and won several awards for best actress and outstanding performance throughout her career.

Her past has been filled with success and so is her future, from 2005 until 2014 Regina worked on the television series “The Boondocks” where she played the voice of two young boys Riley and Huey, Riley being the little boy who thinks he’s bad but just is always all talk, and his older brother Huey who is very laid back, smart, and knows every form of Karate and Taekwondo there is.

What I like is that Regina is able to bring such life to the 2 boys and you would never know it was a woman who talked for them. That’s one of the things that can be so fascinating about voice acting, it’s not uncommon for men to play little girls or for women to play little boys, in fact the actors for the cartoon show the Rugrat’s were all women except the one man who spoke for Chuckie, so playing opposite rolls isn’t something new. It’s a career with no limitations.

Just a little video of Regina King Recording lines for Riley and Huey

Interesting Documentaries

Hey everyone, so I thought I would share a little with you guys a documentary that I watched not too long ago that I found to be pretty interesting, especially seeing how it was just all about voice overs.

The documentary is called “I Know That Voice” directed by Lawrence Shapiro back in 2013. The film is a 90 minute film about being in the voice over industry, several voice actors and actresses such as they man who speaks for SpongeBob Tom Kenny, PowerPuff girls Tara Strong, and Seth Green, along with others talk about the first cartoons and little bit about how the man how came up with voice of bugs bunny became one of the main influences for artist today.

Throughout the film they also talk about themselves how their careers got started and how they came up with some of the voices that they can do.

I always find it interesting to learn about others and their creative processes or how they take a part and decide “I want this character to sound like this” and then it eventually becomes one of the most popular/funniest voices on television at the time.

Below is just the “I Know That Voice” were a few of the actors are reading scripts in some of their most well know character voices.
I would like to know what you guys find interesting, what’s your favorite cartoon or voice actor, let me know in the comments.

Voice Artist Of The Week: Susan Bennett

Besides the obvious cartoons there are so many other types of Voice overs. For example our Telephones now days we can talk to our phones and a voice simply responds with the answers to our questions. With this in mind I thought I would talk about another voice over artist, Susan Bennett.

 Susan graduated from Brown University spending her time as a singer and pianist, as well as studying to be a teacher. She started her career back in 1970’s were she became Tillie the All-Time Teller, the voice for the first ATM which was at First National Bank. She also has done work for companies such as Delta airlines, Ford, Coca-Cola, McDonalds, and Cartoon network.

Despite all these different companies she has done work for she most commonly known as the GPS voice and SIRI. Susan can speak in several different accents as well as styles . In 2005 a ScanSoft Inc. were working on this project now known as Siri and they picked Susan after their original artist was absent. They took the words she recorded and turned them into sentences and phrases allowing eventually making it where Siri will have a response to just about anything. Susan didn’t know that she was the voice of Siri until she got her phone call from her friend.

Everyone that she has worked with over the past years considers Susan to be a wonderful person to be around and say is an extremely talented musician and voice artist. 

Below Is a video With Susan Bennett where she explains some of here past jobs and she talks about being Siri.

Stay Calm

I think that no matter if you are successful public figure or just an opinionated person, I think that some people need to realize that getting into arguments can make you look bad.

This audio clip is just something I found where Kanye West Takes Sways question the wrong way.
I want to know how you guys feel about this conversation, Was Kanye right for reacting how he did??
