Josh's is the perfect voice for Kefka, but I'm not surprised: who could be more fitting than the Fiery Joker?

[@BardockSkywalker]

Next Gen Mark Hammil, Anyone?

[@TheAAJYu]

For a moment I thought Christopher Lee was visiting us from beyond the grave to voice Gestahl.

[@redbeard3574]

If Final Fantasy 6 had been a movie, Christopher Lee would have been perfect for Emperor Gestahl.

[@kaylagutierrez3903]

Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that

[@davidtimmer596]

I miss Christopher Lee

[@kaylagutierrez3903]

David Timmer Me too

[@victorhernandez8723]

RIP, Christopher Lee.

[@teresaashworth940]

I'm extremely picky about Kefka voices, but I can say that I cannot think of a single nitpick for this interpretation of his voice.

[@MrKeyblademaster1992]

You made Ghestal sound like Christopher Lee.

[@NightSprinter]

MrKeyblademaster1992 I was gonna say the same thing!

[@blossomtide908]

Ya

[@andytheawesome7592]

He sounds exactly how I always imagined he’d sound, and I think that explains why...

[@Yabuturtle]

He actually would make a good Gestahl.I imagined Saruman wearing royal clothes. He would look and sound great.

[@TheSimplyJJP]

I love it when he starts going "Ahhh ah ahhh!" when Gestahl uses his magic. He sounds so creepy and crazy I love it.

[@jjvagnar1]

I always loved Kefka's breakdown in the original game. he actually called her a bitch over and over. this bowdlerises him.

[@HunterCarrell]

That was a fan translation.

[@shadowbladezorru2748]

To be fair you would be swearing out the one who stabbed you with a sword.

[@CosmicKeyframeProductions]

Great job on this dub man! Thanks for letting me be Celes!

[@Aussieroth7]

Thank you for being a part of it :)

[@victorhernandez8723]

You did a pretty good job voicing Celes.

[@veevendetta3448]

You really are Celes. Beautiful Voice too wow.

[@Darlingsworth]

You did great. I know it's five years later, but if there ever was an official dub I could imagine you doing it with such grace.

[@Noseface]

You and Kefka's voice actor both did a splendid job. Really sold it well.

[@GameGod77]

I've aquired a sudden interest in FF6. Now we need a let's dub of the game, even if it takes years to finish.

[@cameronedwards4893]

GreatHelios is actually doing one

[@SocialKidmusic]

Yeah but this is like the Aerith/Seph level spoiler of the game for FF6.

[@frankjaeger2389]

So who else was imaging the funny faces that Josh was making when he was recording this, because I can, and they're hilarious.

[@KinakoIshiyama]

May I just say that it is freaking scary how good you did at playing Kefka, Josh?

[@jdawg746]

Kinako Ishiyama yeah he sounded just like mark Hamill the next ideal kefka voice

[@juanmarodriguez6010]

+jdawg746 I though the same

[@XainRussell]

All that high pitched growling ang yelling, this probably did a number on your throat.

[@joshscorcher]

I kinda had to throw my voice out a little bit prior to recording to get the texture I wanted. So yeah, it did.

[@ShaDHP23]

Vic Mignogna said he did the same thing when he voiced Broly

[@sageofblueflames2039]

still, you sounded like you REALLY enjoyed it. i think in the end that's what counts. bravo

[@SapphireLibra3]

That was by far the zero most terrifying voice work ever. You sounded EXACTLY how I pictured Kefka. Well done Scorcher. Well done indeed.

[@fcbahamutzero]

Dude. This rocks. Celes is the love of my life but whomever voiced Kafka is my hero

[@angrylegatus6716]

Yours truly voiced Kefka! By that I mean not me of course.

[@sectorzisnumbuhone]

It was actually the Fiery Joker aka Josh himself that voiced him! :)

[@aidankeogh9994]

4:36 Josh is now the voice of Kefka. Dissidia, eat your heart out.

[@N3bu14Gr4y]

Superb voice acting! And the use of _Cantata for Dancing_ .... mwah!

[@lapislazuli9465]

The echo with the second "show me your power!" sent a chill down my spine.

[@FateMissedDeath]

Please for the love of god, do the "life, dreams, hope" speech.

[@angrylegatus6716]

This is a surprisingly nice dub. Your Kefka voice was spot-on. The voices for Gestahl and Celes was impressive. Can't really say much about Cyan, Edgar, and Terra since they didn't have much to say here. My only complaint is the voice for Shadow at the end could have been better. Overall, awesome fandub.

[@shaniceangel231]

Awesome job...Kefka sounds exactly how he sounded in my head!

[@redbeard3574]

Holy hell, Josh! That was an amazing performance. Mark Hamill would be proud! :D Keyframe did an equally amazing job voicing Celes. Though, for a moment at the beginning, I thought Celes was being voiced by Ink Rose with her Celestia voice! :P I would love to see more FF6 dubs in the future!

[@victorhernandez8723]

It has to be an honor to compare Josh's portrayal of Kefka to Mark Hamill's portrayal of the Joker.

[@gamerprince-tl5hg]

The voice actor for Gesthal sounds exactly like Hugo Strange xD

[@DTylerFultzVA]

Many thanks to Roth for bringing me in as Shadow.

[@Aussieroth7]

I'm glad you accepted... and I'm sorry he only had 3 lines :|

[@DTylerFultzVA]

Aussieroth7 Ah, don't worry too much about it. I still look forward to any job, odd or otherwise, that you may yet have in store. :)

[@tgialyxander]

Sarifus sounds like he'd make an amazing Ansem... And fittingly enough, Ansem's voice was the one I bestowed upon Gestahl during my playthrough of FFVI.

[@zeldasmetaknight]

And now the fiery joker destroyed the world. We must stop him.

[@MegaAnimazing]

Too late.

[@zeldasmetaknight]

+MegaAnimazing now to gather whatevers left in the world to stop him.

[@angrylegatus6716]

Just like defeating Kefka in the actual game. How ironic.

[@Triforce_of_Doom]

Holy crap this was a good job!

[@CalebBelyeu]

wow Josh... you are flat out evil here... I LOVE IT!

[@ShadowXemnas13]

Hot damn, that was some quality work there. Even had vocals and sound effects for unscripted parts, adding to the scene. Top notch work there, I'd love to see more.

[@willanrac]

Kefka is so awesome in this. love the voice acting by every one here.

[@GSmashGaming]

You know..... I always imagined Gestahl had saruman's voice

[@ProfessionalNamielleLewder69]

"No, Kefka! Stop *FOOL*-ing around! Hehe, get it?" "That's it, I'm gonna kill you now." "It was just a kind *JESTER*." (thunderbolt)

[@zorokicksass60]

Oh this was my favorite part in the game, the middle point turn-around that was so good. Thank you for this, the voices were great for this.

[@trikkinikki6843]

Holy cow, Josh, you did AMAZING as Kefka! I mean, props to everyone else, too, but dang son!

[@aceotaku]

well of course. kefka's like his fave villain.

[@Zeiru]

This was quite a lot better than I was expecting. I really love the touch of rage-insanity in Kefka's voice.

[@kingleong8593]

Gestahl's VAing's pretty dang good. And that's a really good take on Kefka too.

[@ViddyWellSA11]

This is amazing. One of my favorite scenes in the game.

[@theastrawolf217]

Jesus Christ that was some dank Kefka acting. Good job

[@nataliaharvey1849]

kefka's voice perfect.

[@angelindenile]

Why haven't I seen this sooner? I will NEVER hear Kefka the same again. x'D this is pure gold!

[@StormCrow95]

Out of all of these, Kefka, The Emperor, and for me, Shadow sorta stole the show by not sounding all 'dark' or 'mysterious' while having a baritone. And the deliveries were solid here overall; so I love this.

[@Seron-Lowell]

Simply amazing. Incredible work from all of you guys!

[@rosev9448]

Aw crud, Josh destroyed the world... Again.

[@MegaAnimazing]

At least he didn't blow it up this time.

[@jesusa.adorno6933]

*KA-BOOOM!!*

[@ViceN53X]

Nice job adding dialogue to your character, Josh

[@thesupershinymegagengar2034]

Josh fits his role of Kefka really well! Almost... creepily well...

[@MDWolfe-ks5fu]

Holy smokes, Josh!!! You make yourself a brilliant Kefka. The way you make those improves and you deliver those lines. (Not to mention your understanding of the character.) You are very fitting for the voice of the character.

[@madbrosheo1514]

The acting is exceptional! Very good job guys!

[@curlyhair0000]

This is really good. Everyone did a professional job. I really liked Josh's grunts of agony and angry retorts. So realistic.

[@articusramos808]

Now this is good, always been a fan of Final fantasy VI. Seeing fandubs of certain scenes gives them life. Great job to all the cast members. so, anymore other scenes or other moments getting a dub? Say...Kefka getting introduced in the Figaro desert and asking his men to wipe the sand off his boots?

[@HoshikoYui]

Great dub, Sarifus did a nice job as Gestahl (kudos for making him sound like Christopher Lee) and you did a great as Kefka; although I kinda wished you could said the "I hate hate hate, hate hate, hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate you" dialogue instead after Celes impaled him.

[@victorhernandez8723]

You did a fantastic providing the voice for Kefka, one of the most hated villains in the Final Fantasy series! I think you would be perfect to voice Starscream from the Transformers with that evil laugh you were able to pull off so well!

[@Belelion1991]

I have the biggest grin on my face though out the entire video thank you so much Josh

[@SOBEKCrocodileGod]

Nice voice! It kinda sounds like a twisted mix of Yuuki Terumi and Krusty the Clown What were your inspirations?

[@Tor-Erik]

If this was heard from the game on the Super Nintendo back then, that would blow my mind. Well done!

[@SocialKidmusic]

Absolutely 💯 amazing! I want the whole game dubbed!

[@LightbladeRiulo]

How fitting, Josh was Kefka and a well done one at that. *claps.*

[@sylphwind4454]

Holy hell Josh...THAT WAS AWESOME

[@CantarellaRose]

(claps) Amazing job! Bravo!

[@sguinn91]

Dang, dude! I've watched the whole dub of FF6 from HeliostheGreat and the actor for Kefka was really good, but your version of him just takes the cake! I pictured Kefka sounding like the Joker and you absolutely nailed it! Goosebumps! Consider this a subscription!

[@lionheart1013]

Everyone vote that joshscorcher and co fan dub all of final fantasy 6!

[@PurpleDragon1995]

Holy sh**, Josh, you MUST have enjoyed yourself doing this! Now I kinda want more... I want more! More! MOOOAAARRR!!!!!

[@sethhowell3067]

I can tell josh had the time of the life time doing kefka

[@bubbles46853-ep9if]

Wow...Josh sure sounded like he had fun.

[@Nickmaster8811]

Stop this madness.... MUST RESIST URGE TO MUST RESIST URGE TO MUST RESIST URGE TO MUST RESIST URGE TO MUST RESIST URGE TO MUST RESIST URGE TO ... fuck it This is *SPARTA!*

[@lunatic0verlord10]

THIS IS GREAT!!! I NEED MOAR!!! If that's not asking too much, that is...

[@cristinamiro7]

kefka's voice acting is really good

[@arinfrankhouse1147]

Wow, you really do a pretty good Kefka here, Josh. I only saw the credits after the video ended, but damn. If I didn't perpetually have phlegm in my throat, I'd consider giving it a shot.

[@marcospinheiro352]

Whoa! Great and well done voice acting you all! :D

[@jasona1000]

Playing through final fantasy 6 right now. I'll get you kefka! Really good dub by the way. The voice acting was pretty spot on. Nice job.

[@loritaylor1602]

I LOVE this Fandub! :)

[@princess_sarina_elysia]

Fantastic! It was a good scene before, but adding voice acting made it excellent! I'm just imagining now how great the game would be if the entire game was voice acted

[@aerozed95]

I'll be honest, I was a bit hesitant to see you dub Kefka, but I was pleasantly surprised by all of the voices! Nice work! The little bits of improv really shined as well!

[@josephballesteros5064]

Ahh I remember this good times, this just pushes the immersion

[@LindstrandMusic]

That was really good. I know it has to take a hell of a lot of time. But the whole game this way, would've been perfect.

[@mrapplegate4065]

You know who your Kefka voice reminded me of? Derek Steven Prince. Great work!

[@thehockeygentleman8943]

Awesome production! Be awesome if you guys ever did a rendition of the final confrontation with Kefka at the of the game. That scene was so iconic. Worthy of Shakespeare himself 👌

[@henrythepurplepoodledog612]

Damn, Kefka sound complete nut on this video! XD

[@fevermario]

Kefka sounds pretty much exactly how I imagined him sounding in my head.

[@TheMeteoDragoon]

As a guy that cosplayed Kefka I love this

[@Rxmonste]

I'm pretty sure you wanted to do this for a looooong time. With this performance I'm excited to see what you do with Henry from Awakening.

[@chillworksdev4145]

WOW what great quality! Fantastic job!

[@kurosakikun96]

holy shit that was awesome, those Kefka and Gestahl impressions were spot on

[@MagitekOmega]

Gestahl grew on me as I continued watching. As for Kefka and Celes? Nailed it!

[@Lux_the_Lost]

I don't know how you did it, but AMAZING Kefka dub there! You really caught just how insanely evil he really is. Sounded like you really enjoyed it too!

[@GhostPlanetFilms]

THAT WAS AWSM, JOSH! U oughta do MORE dubs!

[@darkrequiem9133]

Great job on voice acting as Kefka, Josh!

[@starvoltnexus3139]

Awesome you guys did so well

[@Tamashikiri]

Nicely done, Josh! I think you *especially* nailed it during Kefka's freakout at Celes. :)

[@chibicelesti4859]

Ok, who gave Josh caffeine and sugar after midnight? On a side note, your impression of Kefka is amazing Josh! Now I see why you wanted to be Henry for your Awakening Fandub project. 😁😂

[@Kain541204]

I cannot be the only one who sings this would be an awesome watch to just see it all the way through

[@spencerpennington07]

This is honestly excellent! I’d love to see SE do more with FFVI.

[@razielvalentine4076]

Congratulations, that was VERY well done........ I loved it.

[@KirbyChan]

Holy crap, that was amazing!

[@ShaDHP23]

I always imagined Kefka sounding like Death the Kid. You did good, though, Josh. Josh wins as the evil clown! This scene always cemented in my mind that Kefka was Baram, who survived after being kidnapped by the Empire and experimented on.

[@drpretzel2086]

amazing voice acting. well done on kefka Josh

[@Darkmythsolider]

Beautiful!

[@mewfangirl1052]

I think someone had a LITTLE too much fun here. And by someone, I mean Josh.

[@jeffreypinarchick2127]

Great video man

[@WrBlPro]

Pretty amazingly well done

[@AngelDame17]

For a moment I worried. If Josh wasn't going to play Kefka it would have felt like something terribly wrong was happening in the world.

[@Nickmaster8811]

you can tell Josh had the time of his life voicing Kefka

[@lyssandrefinge4721]

I have the feeling that kefka jumped on the occasion to take Gestahl's sword but didn't preshot to get stabbed
