All of them are great 😊❤

[@ecwdude17]

Mel Blanc. He's the .

[@DanGamingFan2846]

Jim Cummings and Frank Welker are both the modern day Mel Blanc and their range is absolutely remarkable. They both voiced some of the best parts of my childhood.

[@GigaTechWolf]

Bugs Bunny actually saved Mels Life

[@antoniosalieri1048]

Mel Blanc is the man of a thousand voices for a reason

[@Ironluke_2001]

*Frank Welker will always be one of my all time favourite voice actors.* The guy has voiced so many of my childhood favorites and the fact that despite his age he still continues to voice characters like Fred & Scooby-Doo and Megatron (and his voice acting for Megatron has just gotten better and better over the years), I've always been impressed by his vocal range and I'll always be grateful for all the characters he's brought to life over the years.

[@GigaTechWolf]

They should so a List of top10 VAs no Longer around

[@Shebeast3]

Rob Paulsen is a national treasure ❤

[@ThePinkDragon]

Love him as 626 aka Ruban

[@greenrobot5]

Dan Castallaneta and Hank Azaria deserved at least an honorable mention

[@Dremag_Gaming]

I kinda suprised they didnt mention Cree Summer.

[@animallover6645]

I so agree

[@cnsayin8847]

For sure

[@cnsayin8847]

[@cnsayin8847]

@goodtimeediting4real5789Most of the cast should've been included.

[@skippy1023]

I was so happy to see the inclusion of June Foray in one of these voiceover lists. Unfortunately, she has been overlooked thanks to so many uncredited roles throughout her career. June deserves more recognition.

[@Omar-wq9dz]

Mel Blanc is the goat of voice acting

[@kadenginnis3949]

False

[@Djdreamstudios]

100000%

[@MazeDaGr8]

FACTS

[@olleselin]

Jim Cummings dominates this list! He's been starring in practically every animated Disney show in the 90s! (Along with Corey Burton of course)

[@vincentfichtler7758]

He played lots of characters both good guys and bad guys like Darkwing Duck as mentioned Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, Razoul, Colonel Hathi, Ray, Taz, Pete, Dr. Robotnik, Negaduck, Fat Cat and Yosemite Sam at some points temporary replacing Maurice Lamarche.

[@1talldaddy]

yeah he pretty much Mr Disney Afternoon

[@trinaq]

I love Tress MacNellie, who'd have guessed that she provides the voice for some of my favourite animates characters, namely Daisy Duck, Dot Warner and Gadget Hackwrench?

[@HolyCross9]

You forgot about Babs Bunny.

[@greenrobot5]

@@HolyCross9 I think she did the voice for Dot in the 2020 reboot, but unfortunately somebody else is doing Babs in the Tiny Toon reboot coming this year

[@cnsayin8847]

I'm actually surprised they didn't mention that she's been voicing Daisy Duck since the 80s or 90s.

[@stevegallo8483]

Really solid list, but I would switch Mel Blanc and Tara Strong. I love Tara Strong's work but the greatest voice actor of them all is Mel Blanc.

[@jamiethal1319]

I just commented the same thing about the two of them. That the numbers need to be switched.

[@MazeDaGr8]

For me, Mel Blanc will always be The Best of all voice acting for many reasons but mainly on the fact that this man Literally voiced 97% of an entire company for decades

[@bennymora3086]

1,000? He should be The Man with a 1,000,000 voice!

[@christopherblackshear9478]

agreed. there would be no Seth McFarlane if not for Mel Blanc.

[@autumn199]

I can’t believe that Cree Summer and Tom Kenny aren’t on this list.

[@TheCommenterDragon]

These actors are proof that voice acting is more than just a job, Because for professionals such as the people on this list it's a talent, A form of art and a way of life! And they put their hearts and souls into their performances never failing to entertain and make us proud of them!

[@gmmartines7331]

I don't think that's something that's ever been disputed.

[@TimmyD3085]

I met Tara Strong in June and it was an honor to meet her

[@Shadowfangirl12]

I'm shocked at this list. A lot of them are on this list like Mel, Frank, Jim and Rob among others that deserve those spots. But, there should be a top 20 because not only is Tom Kenny missing, but Fred Tatasciore and Steve Blum are as well! Fred is never talked about enough and his vocal range still blows my mind! Same with Steve; his range is so impressive that I never know it's him until I look at the IMDB

[@jaredlaughlin3703]

Don't forget Jennifer Hale. There are STILL roles out there that I haven't clocked as her voice yet.

[@jaredlaughlin3703]

@goodtimeediting4real5789 Just to name a few.

[@disneyfan8178]

@goodtimeediting4real5789 Not to mention Sam and Mandy on "Totally Spies", as well as the current voice of Disney's "Cinderella".

[@Leeza3370]

Mel Blanc should have been number one other than that I agree with the list

[@eternalxchannel]

Mel Blanc is the greatest of them all. His work is absolutely impressive.

[@phantomrequim]

Tara Strong will always be my favorite girl. I got to meet her and her husband at ComicCon and she was such a sweetheart! And I love Seth Macfarlane's voice acting, but I like his singing a lot more.

[@oliviakinter179]

Thank you for highlighting actors who make their living doing VO work! They are truly at the top of their game. Actors & writers are currently on strike over fair wages & revised contract agreements, & it's videos like this that make you remember that successful actors are not JUST the ones you know from big movies or television series. It spans across many platforms & types of performances :)

[@Issa_lyssa]

This should’ve a top 20 because you left out so many other VA’s like Tom Kenny, Nancy Cartwright, Eric Bauza, Jeff Bergman, Cree Summer, Jennifer Hale, Elizabeth Daily, Candi Milo etc

[@Dremag_Gaming]

Suprised Cree Summer wasnt in there as well. Been around since I heard her in Inspector Gadget.

[@Phanthief95]

I would also add Phil Lamarr too.

[@dwainsimmons3447]

What about Steve Blum and Kari Wahlgren.

[@emilove7943]

Jim Cummings is a national treasure

[@antoniosalieri1048]

So is Mel Blanc

E G Daily probably deserved at least an honorable mention.

[@fenris18901]

Cree Summers who voiced roughly 47 different characters with an amazing career didn't even get an honorable mention?!?!

[@Shebeast3]

all of these are super talented and just amazing people❤

[@kelseyhaight1698]

Nancy Cartwright should’ve been a part of this long shall she live and her amazing badass talent

[@shawnlopez2317]

Good list though I wished Cree Summer was at least an Honorable Mention, from dozens if not hundreds of characters ranging from Warner Bro. DC, Nickelodeon, Mattel, to Disney and going all the way back to the original Penny in Inspector Gadget, the woman is a vocal icon!

[@otakubancho6655]

Mel Blanc,Frank Welker,and Jim Cummings,the father son and holy ghost of voice acting,all others are merely followers.

[@Trix897]

I got to meet Billy West in June at a con near Tacoma, Washington and he’s incredibly kind, generous and funny. His Stimpy helped me laugh in some really difficult times in my life.

[@iloveejbgssnoopy]

these actors are so amazing and so talented and wow they all brought magic and joy to the screen to all.

Nice List!

[@samuelcollantes1175]

A great top for a great day like today. Happy saturday morning Ms Mojo, take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia.

[@theupliftchannel]

Cree Summer deserves at least an honorable mention. She does not get the recognition she deserves

[@Phanthief95]

Another honorable mention I would add is Phil Lamarr. Samurai Jack, John Stewart’s Green Lantern, Virgil Hawkins (Static), Bolbi from Jimmy Neutron, Conrad Hermes in Futurama, Dracula in Grim Adventures, the man has some range.

[@matthewboyd68]

And Marvin the guy who gets shot in the face in pulp fiction.

[@capitanmaverick]

I would've loved to see Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill and Tim Curry here, but still great list

[@reyarreguin918]

Mel blanc should have been #1 Mark hamill has an honorable mention

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

That’s so good!

[@lynntaylor6686]

As a huge fan of Hanna-Barbera since I was a kid in the 80s, I would have included Daws Butler and Don Messick. They would have been #3 and 4 on my list after Mel Blanc and June Foray. Cree Summer definitely should have been included. Rob Paulsen should have been a lot higher on the list.

[@Lilliecwalinski16]

I'll say!!! I love Rob!!❤❤❤

[@ritselabuan6513]

Even Ben Schwartz was amazing as Randy Cunningham, Dewey Duck and Sonic the Hedgehog

[@mountkilimanjaro2982]

Where’s Tom Kenny?

[@Agent_Volkat]

*gasp* How dare you not at least give honorable mention to Maurice LaMarche and Charlie Adler

[@kamsismith]

I would have to say Mel Blanc and Frank Welker simply because I used to watch Looney Tunes and Scooby-Doo a lot as a kid.

[@jesterjosie3281]

My personal favorites are Tom Kenny Frank Welker Tara Strong and Grey Griffin

[@vickyf82]

Clancy Brown, Bill Fagerbakke, Eric Bauza, Cree Summer and Jennifer Hale should be on here.

[@1992disney]

Yet another top ten list that should've been a top twenty. You could've also included Kath Soucie, Corey Burton, Tony Jay, Tim Curry, Jeff Bennett, Peter Cullen, Thurl Ravenscroft, Nancy Cartwright, Phil Hartman, and Vincent Price.

[@disneyfan8178]

Let's not forget about some more of Mel Blanc's and June Foray's contemporaries, such as Daws Butler, Paul Frees, and Don Messick.

[@mztdub18]

So glad that Kevin Michael Richardson was on this list! Still disappointed that there was no mention of Cree Summer and Phil Lamarr

[@kentbrooks3227]

They should've extended this list to the top 20. There are quite a few people who definitely need to be included. I'm thinking Cree Summer for one.

[@aidandunn1009]

Believe it or not I've met Frank Welker he was a really nice person I even got an autograph from him.

[@justineves3588]

Very very great epic list I like it a lot very very great job mis mojo one of my absolute favorite list ever 😊❤

[@devingiles6597]

MsMojo, you should definitely do a list of the Top 100 Anime Voice Actors with Impressive Range. Here are some examples you should mention. English: Sean Schemmel Matthew Mercer Colleen Clinkenbeard Brina Palencia Travis Willingham Christopher Sabat Vic Mignogna Tia Ballard Bryce Papenbrook Alexis Tipton Cherami Leigh Stephanie Sheh Steve Blum Patrick Seitz Erika Harlacher Monica Rial Johnny Yong Bosch Sonny Strait Cristina Vee Laura Bailey Todd Haberkorn Erica Schroeder Dan Green Veronica Taylor Brittney Karbowski Eric Vale Christine Marie Cabanos Erica Mendez Jason Griffith Brianna Knickerbocker Bryn Apprill Wendee Lee Kyle Hebert Japanese: Masako Nozawa Daiki Yamashita Yuki Kaiji Yoshitsugu Matsuoka Mayumi Tanaka Minami Takayama Daisuke Gōri Kotono Mitsuichi Rica Matsumoto Daisuke Ono Tomokazu Sugita Miyuki Sawashiro Maaya Sakamoto Junko Takeuchi Ryūsei Nakao Tōru Furuya Norio Wakamoto Hikaru Midorikawa Nobuhiko Okamoto Fairouz Ai Sora Amamiya Natsuki Hanae Shizuka Itō Toshiyuki Morikawa Romi Park Shin-Ichiro Miki Kappei Yamaguchi Megumi Hayashibara Takeshi Kusao Aya Hirano Aoi Yūki Toshio Furukawa Ikue Ōtani Hiromi Tsuru What do you think?

[@CrazyGamerDragon64]

5:14 I consider Mark Hamill qs the definitive Jiker but i really enjoyed Kevin Michael Richardson's take on the character, he's probably my second or third favorite after Mark

[@matthewwood6582]

Seth Green as Joker in Mass Effect is my favorite role of his honestly.

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

Mel Blanc, Grey Griffin and Frank Welker are THE BEST!!!

[@mevb]

Looney Tunes director Chuck Jones have once said "June Foray isn't the female Mel Blanc. Mel Blanc is the male June Foray.", which says a lot.

[@Eskotar]

There needs to be Top 10 hottest actor voices... I can start you of: Jeremy Irons, Alan Rickman, James Spader

[@kyeallen3416]

Next time you make a 10 voice actor video in the future, can you please include Eric Bauza, Joe Alaskey, Jeff Bergman, Bob Bergen Matthew Lillard, and Jeff Bennett

[@abigailalexis735]

top 20 would work too because there are more than 10 impressive voice actors

[@Wiiguy1606]

Frank Walker also did the voice of Oswald the lucky rabbit

[@FireMewMew]

You forgot Erin Fitzgerald

[@-anotherbrokenegg]

Jim Cummings is responsible for so much more than this video. Jeremy Irons blew his voice out as Scar singing Be Prepared. Who came to the rescue? Jim Cummings. Uncredited. He was also Ray in The Princess and the Frog, and that's just to start. Jim Cummings has been carrying Disney for so much longer than they deserve. Look him up, he's a national treasure. ❤

[@daishinkan7633]

I didnt think cree summer was goin to make the top 10 but I thought for sure she was goin to be a honorable mention

[@christianloubardias6375]

When you talk about Kevin Michael Richardson, you simply cannot leave out his performances as Shredder in TMNT 2012 and Bulkhead in Transformers Prime and Robots in Disguise

[@anony---mous]

Can we just talk about Mel Blanc Seth MacFarlane Tara Strong Ron Perlman

[@adriangarcia543]

Cool video

[@jacksonsay37]

There's also Candy Candido. Would you believe that the guy who voiced the Indian chief from Peter Pan was capable of singing in a soprano voice?

[@dirty.dan37]

Would love to see Hynden Walch make one of these lists or at least be an honorable mention. Her range is mind blowing she can play someone who sounds sweet like Starfire from teen titans to a psychopath such as Harley Quinn and Breach from Generator Rex. It may not sound like a lot of characters but it’s still crazy.

[@lisastaven494]

Mel Blanc is number one and always will be.

[@ChristineMcQueen]

All love to Tara but Mel Blanc not #1? C'mon now. And how on earth was Tress the only Simpsons representation on this list? Dan, Hank, Harry, and Nancy all deserve a spot, too. Jim Cummings should be much higher. But I'm glad to see Seth here. I adore him. 😍

[@dj-um7el]

Was gonna say! I LOVE Tara Strong, buy my God, was Mel Blanc ultra talented!!!

[@dynamite9282]

It's a crime that Kevin Conroy & Mark Hamill were not included in that list

[@cnsayin8847]

Also, they talked about Billy West being a decent Mel Blanc successor, but what about Eric Bauza?

[@MrGabeanator]

nice list although i woulda mentioned mae whitman

A few on this list are also big names in the video game VA industry. Worth mentioning

[@jaredlaughlin3703]

I can't believe you didn't mention that Seth Green also voiced Jeff "Joker" Moreau from Mass Effect. Fantastic list, just the same.

[@coolnegative]

Robbie Rist aka cousin Oliver, E.G. Daily, Cree Summer, Don Messic....

[@MandyCummins]

Not even an honorable mention for Matthew Mercer? Horror! But hell yeah for the rest.

[@chelseacanales8763]

I was surprised that Tara Strong is #1. Seriously. But she has done voices for the male characters and that’s pretty impressive

[@bronzepumpkin]

What about Peter Cullen, Cree Summer, and Roger Jackson? They also have impressive range too!

[@matthewmira3265]

I’ve liked Rob Paulsen for voicing Donatello in the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tv show, Carl Wheezer in The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius, and Stanley Ipkiss/The Mask in The Mask: Animated Series. I’ve liked Jim Cummings in many different Disney-related media, starting with The Lion King when he voiced Ed. I’ve learned like his voice over as Winnie the Pooh and Tigger. The wonderful thing about tiggers Is tiggers are wonderful things Their tops are made out of rubber Their bottoms are made out of springs Their bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncing, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun But the most wonderful thing about tiggers is I’m the only one I’m the only one I’ve liked Frank Welker for voicing Abu and Rajah in Aladdin, Megatron and Soundwave in the Transformers franchise, and Fred Jones and Scooby-Doo in the Scooby-Doo franchise. I’ve known Grey DeLisle for her voice over work as Daphne Blake in the Scooby-Doo franchise, Frankie Foster in Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends, and Vicky in The Fairly OddParents. Tara Strong has voiced the titular character, Ben Tennyson, on my favorite childhood cartoon tv show, Ben 10.

[@partradio8]

Jim Cummings also voiced the terror mask in the 2010 Splatterhouse remake

[@XJIcequeen]

[@JONATHANP1619]

I starting to think you have something against Billy West. Just for Futurama he should be on the list, then you learn about all the other things he did.

[@kleine.5438]

My favorite voices that Tara Strong has done is Timmy Turner, Barbara Gordon, Raven and Twilight those are the ones I like the most I'm not sure if there's others that I like I mean since I'm not really a fan of powerpuff girls that much don't give me flak for that please

[@muppetsretrofan8873]

This was a great list, but I wish Paul Winchell was on here. He's done Tigger, Gargamel, puppet characters [Jerry Mahoney, Knucklehead Smith, etc..], and various mascots [especially the 1970s incarnation of Jack from Jack In The Box. There's three animated 1970s JITB ads, as well as the comics, most notably Where Oil Comes From, and you can definitely tell Paul Winchell did Jack's voice. Heck, he voiced ALL of the Jack In The Box Bunch]. Paul also invented the artificial heart. I also wish Michael Bell was on the list, as he did a lot of Hanna Barbera characters [most notably Mark from Speed Buggy, Allstar from the Snorks, and several Smurfs characters, most notably Grouchy Smurf and Johan], and tons of different cartoon characters.

[@NickCC23]

I believe Tara Strong has worked with every other living actor on this list.

[@timkramar9729]

I think Welker portrayed Venger in the D&D cartoon.

[@spectresound]

Why was Peter Cullen not on this list?

[@RingoandCarlin]

There are a number missing in this list. This list is incomplete. Stan Freberg, Paul Frees, Daws Butler, Pinto Colving, Clarence Nash, Bill Scott, MauriceLaMarche, Verna Felton, Hal Smith, Corey Burton, Bea Benaderet, James MacDonald, Dallas McKennon, and Paul Winchell are missing. And several others
