Keith Wickham - Thomas Crew Review

[@liam4995]

HIT Entertainment: So, what characters do you want to audition for? Keith Wickham: Yes

[@JoshProductions07]

I think all of the voice actors auditioned for every character at first, so Ben Small, Matt Wilkinson and Kerry Shale would of all done the same thing.

[@oilking-bo3gt]

​@@JoshProductions07 There was a version where Kerry shale was Thomas i SAW a Video a few Months ago

[@JoshProductions07]

@@oilking-bo3gt Yeah, but that could of been temporarily the voice and not the final voice as he also voices Spencer in the trailer and Toby has his US voice

[@JonathanAsiamah]

The CGI series would honestly be nothing without Keith Wickham.

[@bryantan863]

You are definitely right about that dude.

[@DavidScholz-bu1ix]

​​@@bryantan863 NO DOUBT 'BOUT IT, MATE!

[@achingforstrength]

It would have to be like a Silent Movie 😅

[@PepsiTrain26]

The us dub of seasons 13 and 14

[@ShiningTimeStudios475]

Rob, John, Joseph, Nigel, Teressa, Ragland, and Kerry. 😊

[@aegontan686]

Thinking about it, the iconic "Disgraceful, Disgusting, Despicable" would have still been voiced by one person if Keith Wickham had the chance to say it

[@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967]

Apart from when Rob Rackstraw voiced James later on.

[@Nic_2751]

I’m just gonna use my favorite line to describe Keith in one quick summary “Did you not watch the Adventure Begins? He practically talked to himself the entire time.”

[@vincentmorris8431]

welp, that answers that

[@cutelittlepuppi_]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that Thomas is the only character not voiced by him in that special

[@vincentmorris8431]

Nah, there's also Jerome, and of course the ladies

[@horsewoodtrains15]

This is basically the model series with him doing all the voices. 😂

[@doodlestrudel1991]

It's a strange pick for me but: I wonder why he never became the narrator, Don't get me wrong Mark Moraghan is a great narrator but considering his amount of range and also his list of characters outside of TTTE: I'm surprised he never got a narrator role in any of them He's capable in doing so anyways, I believe he narrated a few later Thomas books (no RWS tho but actually a few books released during the CGI Era as if it was obvious from the mention here)

[@harryfoley2294]

I honestly love the cockney like accent that Keith Wickham gave James, most would think he would have a posh, snobby upper class English accent but I think Keith’s voice for him really suits his cocky personality.

[@thesodorsamurai2002]

You can feel how devoted Keith Wickham is at everything with his wide variety of vocal chords and surprising amount of energy when needed.

[@hudsontrainguy1217]

In my opinion, Keith Wickham is both The Tom Kenny and Mel Blanc of Thomas & Friends since he has quite the phenomenal vocal range.

[@Rails-Of-Illinois]

The fact that Keith Wickham has voiced 86 characters is crazy to me! People say 1 person can't do things, but it doesn't matter what those punks say!

[@sonictailsx4690]

Keith Wickham is truly an talented man, such an range and vocal to give all the characters he voiced a unique voice to make them stand out. He'd really made an name for himself. You know without him, Thomas and Friends throughout the CGI Era wouldn't be same, now wouldn't it?

[@drevianedwardsproductions9244]

Keith Wickham is an amazing actor. I had no idea that he was involved in Angelina Ballerina in the UK Dub as well as The Octonauts. I freaking adore this guy for voicing a great number of characters in Thomas and friends.

[@MrTragedious986]

Keith is everywhere whenever he voiced a Thomas character but I liked him as Sir Topham Hatt.

[@kevin-2.1]

He voice Thomas too?

[@RicardoGaming09]

​@@kevin-2.1 No he just auditioned

[@thesudriana016]

Keith Wickham is a man of many voice talents, but none more full of resource and sagacity than in Thomas & Friends! While he has a few mixed-bag ones (like James for example), he does have a lot of standout ones! While he is aware of Thomas' existence despite never seeing the series (cause he stated he never has children himself), he does put a lot of care and dedication to ensure the characters' voices are distinct from one another (like other people like Jim Cummings, Tom Kenny, etc.). Some of my favorites from him include The Fat Controller, Gordon, Harvey, Skarloey, Bertie, Stafford, Sir Handel, Bert, Salty, Dowager Hatt, Den, Harold, Whiff and Mr. Percival. Fun fact, he did actually voice Thomas, Toby, Bill & Ben and a few others aside from the other voices he did for other characters in CGI in the official Read Along Apps before Mark Moraghan narrated the show. Plus, he reprised the roles of Gordon and STH in Rainbow Sun Productions' Off-Broadway presentation of Thomas & the Magic Railroad (for a limited YT run). At first when I first saw HOTR, I wasn't too keen when I heard he voiced the main characters 2-6 as a few sounded pretty weird, but eventually I got used to them. While I'm on an okay pile on his Henry voice, it's interesting how he based some of his voices from well-known people in the media industry.

[@JamietheBrumguy]

Fun fact: John Hashler also played in Toot the tiny tugboat as the main character! (Keith is also in that show)

[@ethancausby4895]

If you want to know Hiro is voiced by Togo Igawa and Victor is voiced by David Bedella when Thomas went full CGI for Hero of the Rails just wanted to tell you

[@DamagedSnowplough]

Keith Wickham’s voice carried these characters in the CGI series. His best voice is notably Edward’s, making him sound very civilized, a little vulnerable and wise.

[@sodorrailwaystudios2006]

Keith is definitely one of the best voice actors I've ever seen. He's up there with Jim Cummings with some of the most talented ones I've ever seen. Some of my favourite voices he did are Edward, James, Gordon, STH, Bert, Sir Handel, Mr. Percival etc.

[@SuperStoryteller04]

Actually, we do have an idea what Keith wickham would have sounded like as Thomas and Toby, and even Hiro, Spencer, and Stepney. He provided narration for some Thomas storybook apps a few years back.

[@LimpBizkitMix]

As a wannabe voice actor, Keith Wickham is up there as one of my biggest influences alongside all of the Futurama VAs Also his Skarloey voice is literally just Christopher Lee doing a Welsh accent & I love it so much, I’ve had people tell me it’s one of the voices I can do most accurately so it gets bonus points for me Harvey is legit just Shrek voiced by an actual British person

[@BriceInkling138]

If they made an episode or moment where Glynn and Skarloey interacted, that would be a good opportunity to make a great in joke to Keith Wickham himself.

[@bigtrainguythore]

20:30 someone said it sounds like Keith Wickham is trying to do an impression of gru from Despicable Me! 🤣

[@Stepney101wikiuser]

Keith's voices are my default voices for every character, both in how I picture them and how I act them in fan series I'm a VA in

[@Matts_Creations]

Angeles is the ultimate narrator, but Wickham is the ultimate voice actor

[@islesofforeignrails7917]

Keith Wickham is amazingly experienced as a voice actor, and i can't ever doubt his expressive vocal delivery in these characters. I hope the next crew review will be on Teresa Gallagher (an experienced voice actress for the franchise)

[@ItsCarlos563]

Keith Wickham's Welsh accent for Skarloey is just iconic.

[@selinapersaud7629]

Oh my God, I love it so much!

[@CakeKingYT]

13:50 That Henry impression is on point! Adam *neeeeeeeeds* to voice Henry in something!

[@harveymaltezmansilla8098]

Keith is essentially the Mel Blanc of Thomas, being able to voice Different Characters and have Conversation by himself

[@TankEngineMedia]

With how much of Keith’s vocal range has, I wouldn’t be surprised if he has the ability to voice all the characters in the episode or a entire movie

[@Stoked_magic]

I was reading a book once when I randomly started giving some of the characters Keith's thomas voices, mainly his edward voice

[@LBSC70]

I knew he voiced a lot of characters but I didn't know he did, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James and Percy

[@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967]

Wow, that's a great video around Keith Wickham. I like his voices for Gordon, Henry, Edward and The Fat Controller the best. I even did an impression of his voices on Gordon and Henry which were spot on. Imagine if Keith captures Henry's grumpy and arrogant sides in CGI, though he kinda did in Henry in the Dark when the engines teased him about being scared of a ghost train which was actually him.

[@cvgthedaydreamfairygirl8092]

I feel like voice actors like kieth whicham should get more respect because not only they work hard to voice for multiple characters, they can stretch their voice into different sounds so he is great.

[@BlindingLight]

It's interesting this video comes out just a few days after I learned of just how many voices Keith did. I'm amazed by his vocal range. and btw gordon is my favorite of his voices

[@mattiaematteo]

Where Gordon's line "oh the indignety"? That a well known line.

[@ZakZStack]

Keith Wickham is the Hank Azaria (or Mel Blanc ...or Daws Butler ...or anybody else) of Thomas

[@jshock]

[@Trainboy17]

Keith Wickham is one of my voice actor's i would want to meet in person

[@modelrailfan37]

It’s funny because I feel like nobody gives Keith the credit he deserves! He carries the show, and most of the characters are voiced by him! His James voice is probably my favourite, dare I say I prefer it to Rob Rackstraw’s!!

[@redengine4433]

i would say Trampy got the closest to Henry's true voice

[@kevin-2.1]

Trampy is very talented.

[@abbeyroadfan94-J.P]

Keith Wickham the mel blanc of Thomas and friends

[@BriceInkling138]

Heheh, this is not the first time I heard someone compare Keith Wickham to Mel Blanc.

[@eslm-studios2996]

Keith Wickham was the successor to Angelis & Carlin, full stop.

[@matthewmurnaghan2583]

For the next Thomas Crew, can you do Teresa Gallagher next? I'd like to see the comparisons between Emily and Nicole Watterson.

[@ThomasAndRandomRobloxGames]

We've had a writer, an animator, and a voice actor, hmmm... what's next? A composer? A director?

[@GoofyCharizard]

I would love to see Keith Wickham do an improv session with the characters he's voiced

[@faiibr]

I love how everyone says "OH Alec Baldwin made James gay!!" but in 4:51 no one says "OH Keith Wickham made Spencer gay!!"

[@fishpop]

One actor i know who often spoke to himself was Scott McNeil. Primarily in Beast Wars where he was 3 Maximals, Rattrap, Dinobot & Silverbolt, along with Predacon butt monkey Waspinator. Rat and Raptor argued CONSTANTLY so Scott was often talking to himself. Another TF example was Frank Welker in the original cartoon, as he was most early Decepticons.

[@Sir-RH-Hatt]

The fact that this man made some of my favorite voices ever goes crazy😂

Keith Wickham is to Thomas, what Dee Bradley Baker is to Star Wars

[@PlayDontPause]

This truly is the Keith of all Wickham.

[@PlayDontPause]

Also what the fuck, why do I know most of the other shows this man voiced?

[@hollyclarkesfm]

He is honestly one of my favourite Thomas voice actors, I really love his voice for Edward, Percy, Gordon, Henry, James and Sir Topham Hatt. But if I had to choose, I’d say it has to be Edward. I don’t know, his voice sounds very comforting in my eyes as Edward. U can tell how much fun he has with doing the voices :) I’ll admit that I feel tempted to send fanart to Keith Wickman. But since he has moved on from the series, I understand that, like u said playing that many characters on a show can take quite a big toll lol Yet ironically, I am doing a painting of Thomas and Edward. I will admit that I’m surprised about him auditioning to voice all characters, as much as I would’ve liked to see him do that, sometimes we need to give other VA’s a chance to shine. But also the fact that he could’ve strained his voice multiple times if he did the whole cast. I think though there times where u can actually hear more than one voice even when he provides one voice. For example: Gordon/TFC, Edward/Percy.

[@BrentSudric]

Keith narrated a few mobile store books, giving the other characters their own voices too. Thomas sounds a tad informal, and Stepney...sounds the oldest 😅 Video Recording by another user kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJCukqWlgJlor5o

[@jalyntate7965]

I remember finding those.

[@jayvonnoelsmith8445]

Keith wickham is a great actor for Thomas and friends

[@jeremiahsisaias8677]

Kerry Shale is also a king at voicing tons of Thomas characters. I have the sounds of Gordon, Henry, Kevin, Scruff, Diesel and Mr. Percival stuck in my soul whenever I hear him in Gumball... 😂 Goof: You spelt Stafford wrong. The only UK voices from Keith Wickham I don't like are The Logging Locos.

[@IsleofPigsStudios]

I was diagnosed with the old Asperger's as a child (4) and sometimes I think the whole fandom's autistic, nostalgic or both. I, like one my e-friends, am both. She uses KZbin too, but IDK her name here. She told me she subscribed to The Unlucky Tug and found my comments on train videos she watched after I watched them.

[@harrisonallen651]

He’s basically Mattel’s Mel Blanc at the end of the day

[@RizzyGlizzy.0]

I love how Keith wickhem voices my 4 favourite characters great vid 😊

[@red5_skywalker]

You could make a comparison to Dee Bradley Baker voicing all the clones but thats still only variations on one voice, whereas Keith is doing distinct, separate voices (except for Glynn and Skarloey)

[@gojirafan0577]

This was great, considering how many characters Keith Wickham voiced in Thomas The Tank Engine I’m really surprised he never got to be the narrator for the series. I would love to see more videos from you about Thomas voice actors, especially people like Kerry Shale, Rob Rackstraw and Togo Igawa.

[@thomasfune3383]

Keith Wickham is outstanding. Actually he is the one who inspired me to do different voice acts when I did my series.

[@bowlinerailfan]

Keith Wickham is to Thomas and Friends what Mel Blanc is to the Looney Tunes

[@txlmu]

Wickham was the voice(s) of my childhood, grew up on the CGI era, mostly seasons 15-19. His voices bring nostalgia.

[@trainboy678]

Keith’s Topham voice is amazing. I was thrilled to find out then he would be taking over the voice for the US Dub.

[@cardiv5zuikaku944]

22:23 yes As returning TTTE fans, that is me when watching this video, never have i though that one person have soo many role in this.

[@stingky3689]

Keith's Salty voice is the reaseon the world hasnt spontaneously combusted yet

[@vincentmorris8431]

Certainly watched some of these '00s shows, but never realized Keith behind them. I don't know if Jungle Junction had separate English dubs. I recall (Crocker, was it?) having a less British accent with a lisp. Haven't seen Angelina or Koala Brothers in ages... maybe Rackstraw should get a video. Have certainly seen Octonauts. Even recall Shellington's Scottish voice used for a station master in Pouty James. Other men of many voices? Mel Blanc, Daneboe, Alex Hirsch... oh, forgot about Kenny. Mark Moraghan did some narrations solo, maybe Keith should too. "Listen, the only one who can do a good Skarloey impression is Glynn. And I happen to know the dark secret as to why that is."

[@ShiningTimeStudios475]

Please do Rob Rackstraw. He was also a big impact of the characters that he voiced!😊

[@PostmanDouglas2011]

I'd want to voice many characters in Thomas just like he did it

[@quadm4640]

Yoooo It’s the guy who voices everyone’s time to shine!

[@jonathanadair6847]

They should’ve had Wickham voice Edward and Henry in both dubs because his voices for the characters were clearly far superior to William Hope and Kerry Shale (I also very much prefer Rob Rackstraw as Toby).

Ok I have a question for you all. Mattel has forced you (the director of CGI Thomas) to change the gender of three of the 7 steam team males (Emily is already female) Which three of the main 7 would you choose to change and why? The choices are Thomas-Toby. (This is a headcanon for is Rebecca and Nia were swapped with gender changing the steam team for equal balance)

He is Shouting! 3. he's Yelling his Line's, in a Pirate Accent! 4.He Immediately Switches to Edward, with no Sign of Salty in There! That's how good he is! And the Dialogue Before?

I believe that the true talent of the Voice Actors really got to shine, when the show entered the Brenner era. With more natural writing and helpful voice directing, the acting in the show shone to its full potential, and Kieth took full advantage of that imo. He was already great during the miller era tho, despite the shit scripts
