[@candicehoneycutt4318]

Unknown name Yeah, his normal voice is somewhere between Zim and Harold from Billy&Mandy lol

[@jcnot9712]

I didn’t know that. But I obviously don’t just mean the pitch. He’s dragging out his sentences like Zim and doing a bit of method acting through the autograph sessions. It’s harder and more draining than it looks.

[@archer9356]

@@jcnot9712 it's because the guy can do it naturally, the creator for invader zim wanted the voices to be natural instead of it being a job.

[@Snavels]

That's actually just his voice, when casting the roles, they wanted voice actors who didn't need to do voices to sound unique.

[@bubblesgray5698]

every video I see of him, he just seems to be a very nice and sweet person. I love how he asks the spelling of every name even obvious ones. he knows that misspelling a fans name would be very upsetting to them. as a fan, when one gets an autograph of the celebrity that they adore and/or admire they want to see their name written properly. "Anna, A-N-N-A" "no A-N-A" " oh, only one N" taking that time to ask that makes him an awesome celebrity and an even better person.

[@JeremyFinch42]

Plus it helps avoiding the fans who get really ticked off by misspellings, whereas a handful try to be polite and don't care because it's someone famous. But yeah, he's a great guy.

[@Karmy.]

And the entire time doing it in Zim's voice

[@candicehoneycutt4318]

Y4123 That's just how he talks normally lmao. He's an awesome dude for real though

[@sylphdeposey7149]

When I met him a couple years back at a convention, he was sweet as can be. Chill dude who'll do what he can to make your day. I couldn't make my mind up on wich voice for him to do (Zim, Billy, or Daggett) in the shutout for my dad's b-day. All three shows were our favorites to watch together when I was younger. So, he did a Zim-Billy persona for me. Which was funny to hear him split back and forth between the two characters. I'd love to meet him again (if I do, hopefully my dad can be there to see him in person too).

[@GaryOfPallet]

He has to please the human filth

[@BungieStudios]

I love how he owns his character for the fans that came to see him. Some actors get butthurt when they have to "play" off the job. Even when you pay them for an autograph they just move you along with a grunt and some frustration.

[@candicehoneycutt4318]

A lot of voice actors seem a lot more happy and lax than like on camera actors. There's a lot less ego

[@TiffanyRay]

@@candicehoneycutt4318 that's because most celebrities are narcissists who think highly of themselves if they feel like they're being "disrespected" they just roll their eyes at you. Because you mean nothing to them your just another annoying fanboy/girl they have to tolerate.

[@butterball8378]

@@candicehoneycutt4318 voice actors don't get as much publicity as live action actors so that can make people like paparazzi or journalists a bit invasive of the life action actors' lives so it's sometimes understandable if they come off as rude

[@twangy_juice8126]

Fred Tatasciore, Zachary Levi, and Steve Blum were absolutely wonderful to meet in person tbh. They had tons of small talk to make, and Fred and Steve both had full-on conversations with me as if we were best friends lol. I think it varies (and considering I've only been to one Con, I don't have much experience with rude actors), but my experiences with meeting them were 100% positive.

[@benjamincrew1949]

Acting for good cartoons is probably one of the best jobs in the world. I haven't seen a prolific voice actor that didn't LOVE their work. It can be hard for them doing some of the voices and getting the lines right, but they literally get paid for being a goof.

[@demonizedlife2640]

I can see why he reacted like that to a Dib fan. When I met him at Doomcon, I showed him a picture of my yorkie dressed in her GIR suit sweater and he said "aw, look at the cute little puppy," in a mushy baby-talk tone.😘 The chances are that I'll bring her with me if I meet him again since Jhonen Vasquez already met her three times as of now.

If there is one thing I have learned as I have met and spoken to certain celebs at cons and events over the last few years, is that some clearly are just overwhelmed and others are having the time of their lives! This man at nearly every event I have seen on YT or in person, just loves his job. he know people love him and I like to think he nerds out from time to time as well! (I met Sean Astin at a con in Ohio and he was just in love with his fans, would get so engaged and show people pics of him on his phone and even walked around the table to do pics and autographs because he wanted to engage! - - Henry Winkler was the same too! - - He kept doing magic tricks for kids who came to the table! lol!)
