Full Version: Battle of the Cartoons: Voice Actors
The Halls of Hysteria > The Battleground > The Atrium
Chaomancer Omega
All right... since there are a couple of divisions where I don't really have a hard-and-set preference for who gets the honor of having the division named after them, and getting the big fancy graphic with their characters, I'm going to put it into the hands of you guys.

Or at least, those of you who care.

The divisions you've already seen are set in stone. So are three more to be revealed later. That leaves two. There are seven voice actors who I feel could be chosen. Each possible pairing is up above. Choose the pairing that contains the two you want to see. When it's all said and done, I'll pick the two individuals with the highest votes.

Within the spoiler button is a long, possibly boring list of characters each has done. Characters preceded by a * are ones that are in shows that will be in the Battle. (So hey, spoiler info! biggrin.gif) Obviously, those characters get preference when I'm doing the graphics. Also, I haven't checked to see which of these characters have graphics available, so if it turns out that a voice actor just doesn't have enough available, I reserve the right to go down to the next highest vote-getter.

Same.

Casey Kasem and Tress MacNeille, because they are they are bigger icons in voice acting, IMO. Tress MacNeille has always seemed to me to be the voice of every professional woman in every cartoon since the late 80s. More of a personal perception than fact, I know, but still. And Casey Kasem may have fewer actual characters, but Shaggy and Robin are big enough there for me to vote for him.

And the only other one there that I knew by name prior to this battle is La Marche, who is outstanding, but just not "classic" enough for me to cast a vote his way.

Cam Clarke/Jimmy Flinders/Larry Flinders, and Jim Cummings are the only other 2 that I can think of off the top of my head that I know by name, and would have cast votes for.

Just to note, one of the guaranteed spots is a woman voice actor. MacNeille got my vote as well, along with Kasem.
Spikor
I have a feeling I'm going to get a large boot to kick myself with when you name the other female with the guaranteed spot, but I can't think of any other names I know of voice actresses at the moment.
Chaomancer Omega
Well, here's an obscure hint on that, since it'll probably be a day or two before I finish her division header: She was responsible for the voices of both a Disney character and a Looney Tunes character with the same name.
TwinkyMaster
Sweet, spoilers. biggrin.gif

I didn't know any of these actors (I'm only just now recognizing comic book artists) so I just voted for the two that had the most characters I liked.

I'm surprised Captain Planet didn't get in. But I'm glad to see my Darkwing Duck and Tiny Toons did. And I've gotta go check and see if I nominated SWAT Kats.
Chaomancer Omega
OK, time to call this done.

The totals run as follows:

Casey Kasem: 9
Tress MacNeille: 5
Maurice LaMarche: 5
Chris Latta: 3
Paul Frees: 3
Michael Bell: 1
Peter Cullen: 0

So Casey Kasem will represent one of the divisions. The other is a tie between MacNeille and LaMarche; in the interests of sexual parity, not having to look up possibly one-shot characters (which many of LaMarche's seem to be), and just because I want to, MacNeille wins.
