>>152977290Tom Kenny will be dead in probably 20 years, I'm gonna have to tell my kids about how I was part of the SpongeBob generation and the massive cultural impact he had for zoomers like me.
>>152977290
>>152977290I'll cry like a little bitch when Corey Burton dies
Richard Horvitz. I was a huge fan of Invader Zim in middle school and to this day still love it, he has such a unique distinct voice that are perfect for the characters he plays.
>>152977290Opti--sorry, Peter Cullen, of course.
>>152977290Tom KennyJohn DiMaggio Patrick WarburtonThe cast of The Simpsons (except Nancy Cartwright, she helped led a money laundering scam for Scientology)
>inb4 someone posts an actor who's already dead but they didn't know about it
>>152977290Welker, Cummings, or PaulsonI can't bear to think about which
>>152977290I hate to say it but I think Cullen will go first. That Transformers 40th anniversary video of the two of them was frankly rough to watch and Welker was giving him that look very longtime friends get when they realize something's fucked up.
>>152977290James Hong said he'd love to voice Mr. Ping in Kung Fu Panda 5, 6, 7, and so on. He is 97 years old.
>>152977534Nooo, don't say that, I refuse to believe it!
>>152977290I only know Optimus Prime, and I think he's dead. It didn't really matter.
>>152977290It already happened for me. Batman is fucking dead.
jim cummingsjeff bennettclancy brownrob paulsenkath souchienancy cartwrightnika futtermandebi derryberry
>>152977851like 3 batmen now
>>152977290are you kidding me? when Frank Welker dies Hollywood dies with him, he's the irl basis of Roger Smith
>>152977539James Hong is such a treasure I'm surprised Nicholas Cage hasn't stolen him
>>152977290You've posted it. He's been the voice of EVERY fucking dog my entire life.. so many barks and howls will be silent one dayworst thing is, I used to do a decent job of it myself, but after a real downgrade in health and a bad bout of depression resulting from it, my falsetto voice is fucking gone. it's not the same doing a fucking bass dog voice.
>>152977468he sounded really rough in Invincible, I hope he's doin okay. Apparently he still goes to cons but they have to fuckin wheelchair him around>>152977485oh god, you've really hit the triumvirate there. Jim's doing okay, his podcast is doing well, but he's getting those weird eye-orbit bones that tell you a body is pretty close to quitting, and Rob... well he beat cancer once, but that shit has a bad habit of coming around again. I feel bad that I'll feel worse about him dying than my dad.>>152977539he'll live to 120 easy. Love that guy.
>>152977851It will never stop hurting that he only got to play bruce live action once, and it was an evil alternate universe version set up as an old white male strawman to let the hip young black Batwoman beat him>>152977920... from Big O? That's kind of a stretch, but you can't mean the Paul Lynde alien.
>>152977290Daran Norris is 61 years old and looks 50.
>>152978217Honestly, being truthful with himself about liking dick probably added years to his life
>>152978129fun fact once I was in Quickies Pizza on Moorpark and this old delivery guy walked in and there was something familiar about him, and when he spoke I realized it was Fred's voice! and then he picked up the pizzas and left and as he walked out the door I realized the guy at the counter was also Frank Welker, and so was everybody else in there, even mereal class act
>>152977290Corey BurtonClancy BrownFrank Welker
>>152977318>>152977457>>152977468>>152977485>>152977539Michael Bell for me. Rene Auberjonois hit hard before, and I know his will too. God. All the actors and voice actors of my childhood are going away now.
Tim Curry, I know his stroke effectively retired him but him showing up in anything was a treat.
>>152977290Grey deslisle>>152977390I passed by her as she was leaving a hotel at galaxy con last weekend. Her tits we're huge. Wish tara strongs nudes would leak someday>>152977457Yeah that ones gonna fucking sting too. Invader zim is my favorite cartoon of all time and i love him as billy and moxxie too>>152977468According to rumors hes at deaths door already
>>152978279and more importantly, they aren't being replacedsure, there's some good new actors, but they don't get to BE in things at any kind of rate that would result in attachment. Nothing's getting more than 6 to 10 episodes anyway. Like I like Jeremy Shada fine, but if I could somehow live to be 120, it wouldn't destroy me when he died. Whereas John DiMaggio.. shit..I'm trying to think of other younger voice actors.. I guess we have Olivia Olson.. uhh.. shit, even Tania Gunadi is 2 years older than me..
>>152977468Is there anyone to be his successor??
>>152978217He divorced his wife and married a man. That shaves decades off your average life span just look at Kevin Conroy
Peter MCullen. Once Optimus Prime dies America as we know it will die with him.
>>152978380what rumors?
How come over the past 20 years or so we haven't got any new voice acting talent? And I don't mean celebrities voicing characters or YouTubers guest stars, I mean actual talent.
>>152977468The fact that he's still voice acting is a testament to his skill. Love him as the old Viltrumite guy in Invincible.
>>152978439sorry, deep-voiced males do not really get to be in things anymore.. the few that are even occurring.>>152978458dude shut the fuck up
>>152978495like I was saying, it's not that there's not talent, it's that the industry is dying.There's no "star of thing you watched for years, that had 104 episodes" anymore, because the thing gets 6 or 10 episodes and then it's canceled. nobody can afford to live in LA, and nobody whom you wouldn't crush with a brick just to put it out of its misery would live there, unless they were already rich from working there back when shit made sense.it's all dying. we need to cut back our expectations and start really digging our heels in, because the coming storm is going to wipe out anyone still caring.
>>152978495Alan Tudyk is gonna be your new Welker and he arguably didn't really get serious until 06
>>152978498anonnn, spoilers.
>>152978511>it's all dying. we need to cut back our expectations and start really digging our heels in, because the coming storm is going to wipe out anyone still caring.And there's nothing we can do about it? Nothing at all?
>>152977290Mine already happened.Kevin Conroy is gone
>>152978476Theres rumor is that peter cullen is dying. Iirc he cancelled alot of recent con appearances and word around is that its cuz hes sick Also he was only sometimes a voice actor but one that is defs gonna hurt that i forgot to add is burce campbell. Dude is legit my favorite actor alongside the likes of jefferey combs and sam neil and bruce campbell recently got diagnosed with incurable cancer and im legit depressed about it.>>152978495>How come over the past 20 years or so we haven't got any new voice acting talent? Just a theory but i speculate the old talent gatekeeps it alot to keep their jobs. Expect a flood of new talent to come within the next few years when the old guard becomes too old to perform or just plain keels over unexpectedly and dies off one by one.
lemme do the opposite, this is how I'll be when that bitch Tara Strong finally fucking croaks, absolutely disgusting excuse of a human being, WHY is she still getting fucking VA work!?!
>>152978513Tudyk's pretty good at what he does, but he's farrrr from a Welker. he's more like a cheaper Alan Cumming. In several ways, actually.>>152978518If things improve, it will not be because our own might solved it. That's why this is happening, to humble us. It would be a huge waste if we were able to take CREDIT for our salvation. After all, we let this happen. The time to fight was back then, when we were still young and strong.>>152978524yeah but at least it's TREATABLE cancer. It's the kinda shit where he just needs to keep getting his blood tested and they have to keep an eye on every possible area that the cancer could start growing, and quickly zap it. As long as he stays rich and surrounded by quality doctors, he'll live to .... well okay, he's already 67. maybe another 10-15 years? that's all we ever probably could have hoped for.
>>152978511Why does this keep happening though? Why does cartoons keep getting less and less episodes and even then theres less cartoon series getting made?>>152978518>And there's nothing we can do about it? Nothing at all?Beating up, extorting, and threatening execs to invest in animation more is the best bet unironically. We've tried to play nice for far too long. Its time for payback
>>152978549HAHAHHAHAHA SIX SEVENNNNN!!!!! I am going to kill myself
>>152978524I watch a lot of voiceover interviews/podcasts, and there's a few clear contradictions to your theoryfor one thing, they LOVE new talent, and often have them on their shows and give them nothing but praise, treating them as equalsfor another, it's clear that voice actors just don't have the ego that live actors do. Probably because their looks aren't tied to it.Rather, as they have often pointed out, because they exist, the roles are kinda.. auto-filled. That's why it's so hard to break into, you already HAVE everyone you could want. So it's not so much gatekeeping as "the position has been filled." and again, because they don't visibly age out of roles, they can stay in them for decades.
>>152978534the fuck did Tara do? am I out of the loop or somethin?
>>152978559executive embezzlement and overall moral and economic collapse.We had everything working great, but we allowed people to change it. then they changed the narrative, so our claims no longer resonate with the only people young and energetic enough to do anything about it.
>>152978570anon liked the new PPG and thinks Tara should not have spoken out against ityeah it's not very professional, but neither was the new PPG
>>152978524>Just a theory but i speculate the old talent gatekeeps it alot to keep their jobsThis may have been true a few decades ago but it cannot be less true nowThe simple fact is there's been no voice director with as good as an ear for talent since Andrea Romano retired, so we're stuck with either stunt casting on the big projects or the cheapest talent social media can provide and if you don't already have a long standing role you can fall back on you're fuckedAnd that's not even a guarantee these days
>>152978570>Ai/NFT shilling>the Uber incident (in layman's terms, likely racist.)>Zionistic bitch>genuinely just a massive asshole in generalyeah, you're out of the loop.
>>152978534>WHY is she still getting fucking VA work!?!Because she titfucks producers and showrunners unironically. Again i literally just saw her knockers IRL last saturday and ive seen them before in person in 2019 too. Those suckers are fucking huge and id give anything to shove my cock into her fat zionist milkers. Shes a piece of shit human being though.
>>152978583oh right, DIRECTING. yeah, that's very trueRob Paulsen tried his hat at voice directing, and we got... Rise of the TMNT.. woooof. That's what happens when an old white guy who ... refers to himself as an old white guy with a hint of shame in his voice.. tries to make something that resonates with kids in the late 2010s. Not that I think anyone else would have directed it any better.
>>152978570nta probably some political bullshitTara is VERY outspoken against the Trump administration
>>152978586>>152978588>Zionistic bitchAre you... not?I mean not the bitch part, people should try not to be bitches, but.. we don't let durka durkas evict people from their homes here. If anything, we're in favor of sending people BACK to their ancestral lands.
>>152978560Dont feel bad anon im 29 and i wanna kms everytime i chuckle at those memes too>>152978561Well im glad im wrong actually. Its kinda nice knowing that VAs arent (usually) mass pieces of shit that i thought they would be if what you say is true. I hope youre right anon.
>>152978582well anon, maybe listen to how Tara's recent work as Bubbles sounds and maybe you'll be clamoring for Kristen Li to voice her again. she'd dialed up the whininess in her voice and it's genuinely so fucking annoying
>>152978614someone who had to keep telling a friend to stop selecting Bubbles in Punch Time Explosion because her death voice clip annoyed the uttermost fuck out of me here, can confirm.
>>152978601who the fuck in hollywood isn't? He's literally an actor hired to get everyone mad, so his media company can profit from the coverage.Stop watching the news and watch cartoons instead. Old ones. shit, I'm watching classic Simpsons again right now. I am STILL finding new stuff.>>152978611There's a few who are a litttle cunty, for sure. I mean, Charlie Adler, he's just a CHARACTER. You have to have the right mindset to get along with him, but once you do, he's great. He's a hoot. and you can tell his daddy issues were not his fault. or Billy West who can be kind of a whiner sometimes but he's still an okay guy.but like, Tudyk is kind of a dick, and a virtue signaler. That guy needs to -chill.-In fact, he needs to hang out with Pamela Adlon. she is also 'a character' but in the BEST way. just a sassy girl with zero filter.
>>152978607Look man, i dont like crazy terrorists either. In fact ill throw you a bone and tell you i actually think reformed jews are the least crazy of the main three sandie religions. However israel needs to cut the shit and stop kicking hornets nests for no fucking reason just to destabilize shit. Same with putin invading ukraine and drumpf acting like a retard too. I dont hate jews but israel is off its fucking rocker lately and needs to calm tf down already just like every other major nation.
>>152978614>recent work as bubbleserrr what? when? in what?>>152978627punch time explosion actually came out? the fuck?>>152978633dude stop watching the news. what you think is happening is not what is happening. Like none of it. Look into what the media has ALWAYS said about some people, look into how often they lie, and whom they lie to demonize. It's not hard.
>>152978607Faggot
>>152978601>Tara is VERY outspoken against the Trump administrationI mean i agree with her there. But both her and zion don support netenyahoo so they agree on something it seems>>152978630Charlie adler is fucking funny, whats his backstory? Is he doing okay these days? I havent seen him in much of anything for years he seems mostly retired now. Mr bighead and mrs bighead remain some of my favorite cartoon characters to this day.
>>152978646What reason did Israel have to invade Syrian soil as soon as they got a new head of state?
>>152978614honestly in my opinion, I think it's time to allow some new talent to voice the PPG, the 98 VA's aren't gonna be around forever, hell, Tom Kane can't even fucking do voice acting anymore so they'd have to recast the Professor anyway, I think it's pretty much time to start anew, ....keep Mojo's VA and Tom Kenny though, they're irreplaceable in my eyes.
>>152978646Multiversus and that new Jellystone special,and yes, Punch Time Explosion did indeed come out, ...a decade ago, how are you only finding this out NOW anon?
>>152978646>dude stop watching the news.Dude trust me i try, i really fucking do. I go OUT OF MY WAY to avoid the news but all i see is orange faggots fucking fave every fucking place now. Its insane. And if its not him its some other topical bullshit. I cant even go on twitter or instagram anymore 90% of the time cuz the newscycle depresses me so much to the point of wanting to die. I hate this time period so much.
>>152978661>what's his backstoryI mean I don't know it by heart but it's a pretty familiar homosexual backstory. Abusive dad, lashing out.. he is indeed mostly retired, and he's juuuust now getting into conventions, because previously he didn't think he'd like it.>>152978686I know. It's really hard. You have to entrench yourself firmly in the past, ask yourself if "current events" make sense. if they don't? Guess what, the people saying it are proven liars. You don't think so? Check out what they used to say. it's easy. Ask yourself why someone would do something suicidally stupid, and realize they aren't. it isn't happening at all.
>>152977290I looked up frank Welker recently, because I hadn't seen him in anything lately. I thought he retired. Nope. He's still chugging along like it's the 80s.
>>152978700the original George Jetson died in the recording booth, having finished like 99% of the Jetsons movie.every voice actor I listen to says they hope to do the same. They love it so much, they wanna do it until they physically can'tCharles Martinet said it once too, then suddenly he was 'stepping down' so.. yeah.. Nintendo tried to play it off like retirement, but they showed their hand when they also 'coincidentally' replaced the rest of the voice cast.
>>152978669Tom Kane's too old? Aw man, I love that guy.we shouldn't be doing more PPG anyway. That was true in fucking... when did the show get bad again? 2001ish?
>>152978699Charlie adlers gay? I wouldve never fucking known. Holy shit he always came across very manly to me lmfao. I was just watching the rocko episode closet clown where mr bighead becomes a clown and its a allegory for coming out and it take a whole new meaning now lel. Also yeah, i have to detox from the internet more. I just want things to get better already.
>>152978717eh, in my personal opinion, PPG never really got BAD persay, the quality just got more 50/50, there WERE bad episodes but like, it was mostly just okayish, season 5/6 aren't as bad as most people make em out to be, if anything I'd argue Dexter went through worse seasonal rot
>>152977290Long Live Jim Cummings.
>>152978714>the original George Jetson died in the recording booth, having finished like 99% of the Jetsons movie.Was that a rumor or did he really die in the recording booth?>>152978717Tom kane got a horrible stroke some years backAlways will have helluva lot of respect for that man for dissing disney for what they did to admiral ackbar during a star wars conventionhttps://youtu.be/L1cSrSuy0qE?si=gW56phswDX3KsPfn
>>152978717anon, as long as Cartoon Network can continue wringing out dollars from Blossom, we'll see the PPG come back every decade at LEAST, can't wait to see the new revival have 12 out of its likely singular season 24 episode order have the RRB shoved into them to pander to fans.
>>152978749Isnt he a psycho IRL who killed his dog in a fit of rage? Also that interview where he had a melty over that shitty winnie the pooh horror movie was hilarious. Like cmon jim the movie was a piece of shit cash grab no need to get that pissed off about it.
The Simpsons is going to be bizarre.
>>152978780I've never heard the dog thing but his ex told a lot of tall tales during their custody battleAs far as the other thing though, if you spend 40 years living with a character to the point that you can turn on the voice on command I think you're entitled to get pissed if someone takes a dump on it
>>152978832I dont want the voice actors to die because i dont think theyre bad people, but i dont want the show to continue anymore either and frankly i cannot wrap my head around why it didnt end around the time of the first movie. I mean who the fuck is watching modern simpsons anymore?
>>152978775can they at least give us Powerpunk Girls content :(
>>152978838I dunno, he seems like a right wing prick IIRC but i will at least say that exes can be lying vindictive cunts so even if he is a asshole with shitty political views all the stuff his ex wife said is probably bogus.>As far as the other thing though, if you spend 40 years living with a character to the point that you can turn on the voice on command I think you're entitled to get pissed if someone takes a dump on itBut doesnt he realize that thats the type of stupid indignant outrage the director of that half asses shitty movie wanted? I think its a boomer thing where their generation just cant wrap their head around internet culture so they dont understand concepts such as not feeding the troll hence why you have so many crazy weirdos on twitter and facebook in their 40s and 50s ranting about politics and complaining about too many gays in star wars or some shit.
>>152978699Do you know Corey Burton?
>>152977457Yeah, I think a lot of the people who made their names in the '90s to mid-2000s will suck the most. Horvitz, Charlie Adler, Nick Bakay, Rob Paulsen, Maurice LaMarche, Kath Soucie and the like.
>>152978495Productions hire anime dubbers and their friends or people on the staff because it's way cheaper. Also all the people who go into voice acting now (youtubers) go into anime dubbing because the standards are low and they can use it to springboard into being minor celebrities/e-celebs and getting con pussy/dick.
>>152978118Having seen Paulsen at a con somewhat recently he looks very old, and Renaday/Avery have already passed so I'm worried he will be next.
Billy West's time is coming a lot sooner than you might think. Always surprises me how old he actually is (73).
>>152979301He sounds like shit
