John DiMaggio (Futurama's Bender) Reviews Impressions of His Voices | Vanity Fair

[@CrossfacePanda]

"It's basically my voice, but with a hug around it" That's adorable. It's also such a perfect way to describe Jake as a character. He's the comfort and support of a loving hug, but in stretchy dog form.

[@NaturesAnomalies]

Agreed!!

[@IRVDawg]

When lemongrab says THE THIIING !!! about the "You really smell like dog buns" note I literally nearly died laughing . So absurd I could barely take it

His voice for jake is the most comforting thing in the world. Its like a soft cloud telling you to stay hydrated.

[@Xenterex]

it's not impossible, but one-off recordings usually don't know what parts of the mouth & throat the actor is using so they're not going to hit the same cadence, acting range, or endurance for the voice, especially if the actor has been doing voices for a long time.

John really had it tougher than the other voice actors. He isn't tryna be mean, but he's completely honest when the guys doing his voice just couldn't quite make the cut.

[@yewstew8312]

John’s the only actor I know who really emotionally attaches to his characters. Me seeing him tear apart when adventure time was ending is truly a tear jerker

[@Circular_Square]

I really liked his Joker, his Joker voice was so menacing and he really took that voice in a different direction.

[@I_Mark_Mills]

He's got such a unique voice. I can't even get close to imitating Bender

[@kencoleman5007]

I was hoping for him to talk about Schnitzel, it's the same two syllables over and over and over again. The acting is in pitch, emphasis, emotion, and pacing.

Who else gets embarrassed when people do voices of characters? But you're fine when the actual voice actors do the voices of the characters we all know and love.

[@randomnessltd]

John is on my long list of fav voice actors. Others include (but aren't limited too) Tress MacNeille, Nancy Cartwright, Tom Kenny, Richard Steven Horvitz, and Tara Strong.

[@Ashtarte3D]

I love how he explains what and how he does each voice. I think people underestimate the skill of trained voice actors versus Hollywood actors. I'll take real VAs over Hollywood talent in my games or cartoons any day of the week. Sure I can tell when it's DiMaggio or any number of other actors but I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority there.

[@bstmeg5237]

That’s dumb af

[@CanadianCCP]

It has nothing to do with him being a trained voice actor, it has everything to do with him being a guy that people are trying to imitate. You could get hired to voice some cartoon characters, but even if the characters voices sounded identical to your own, people still wouldn't be able to imitate your voice.

I met John DiMaggio at a fan convention and got him to sign a Kim Possible poster with Dr. Drakken on it

[@user-lv6rn9cf8m]

I met him at an Amsterdam coffeeshop. They now have a very unique autographed Bender on their wall lol
