[@canadiandestroyuh9323]

I would've never known what blood throat was if it weren't for this video. That just further proves how underrated this form of acting really is. They should be acknowledged alot more than they are currently,mainly for their hardcore dedication to the craft. They're way more important than we give them credit for honestly. It's crazy to think that an otherworldly antagonist like The Predator's iconic clicking sounds originated in the mouth of a human being. And that same human being was also responsible for helping bring the likes of King Kong & Optimus Prime to life. I thought they used some sort of audio they created using their equipment combined with real life animal audio,similar to that of a bear or a lion in order to make the Predator's voice. All voice actors similar to our janitors,teachers,butlers, and waiters deserve pay raises if they haven't received any already. Just imagine the voice of The Joker without Mark Hamill,or the voice of Aladdin's original genie without Robin Williams, how about Son Goku's voice without Masako Nozawa & Sean Schemmel,Ultron's voice without James Spader,Ursula's voice without Merrin Dungey & Pat Carroll,Onmi-Man's voice without J.K. Simmons, Sponge Bob's voice without Tom Kenny, Naruto's voiceover without the likes of Junko Takeuchi & Maile Flanagan,Batman's voiceover without Kevin Conroy,Cyborg's voiceover without Khary Payton, Beast Boy's voice over without Greg Cipes,Spider-Man's voice without Josh Keaton,Harley Quinn's voiceover without Tara Strong's talents,Spawn's voice without Keith David,Johnny Gat's voiceover without Daniel Dae Kim,Amanda Waller's voiceover without C C H Pounder,Trevor Phillips' voiceover without Steven Ogg,TMNT's voiceover without the likes of Barry Gordon,Greg Berg,Cam Clarke,Townsend Coleman, Rob Paulsen,Thom Pinto, Hal Rayle,& Michael Gough,'Wreck-It' Ralph's voiceover without John C. Reilly,Shrek & Donkey's voice over without Eddie Murphy & Mike Myers,Scorpion's voiceover without Patrick Seitz,Sub-Zero,Solomon Grundy,& Bizzaro's voiceovers among many others without Steve Blum's input.
