Extraordinary variety in his wonderful voice... ...Continue »
In his Star Trek Audiobook readings, he shows remarkable variety in his voice and acting ability. But my most favorite of his roles is, of course, Sesshomaru. Between the artist and David's voice, Sesshomaru is the ultimate male of any being (drool). My husband loves what my Sesshomaru fantasies do for us in private. I listen to the Star Trek audios way too often just to hear his voice. I love the particular way he says words with 'r' in them - very distinctive. And the depth of his voice...sigh. I do believe I could pick out his voice from any other by now.
I may be turning 50 this year, but I can still dream...
Thank you, David, for your wonderful voice...

With a deep demanding voice, David Kaye is one of this generations most notable and recgonized voice actors. David has a versitile range, and an ability unrivaled in today's buisness. His biggest break came with Beast Wars, voiceing the manical Megatron. With protraying Megatron, he took Frank Welker's Iconic performance from G1, and added an until then, an unseen depth to the character. Megatron II is so much more than just a character, with David's performance, you believe Megatron is a sociopathic, megalomaniac, who's insane ambitions will destory everything around him. David is one of the reasons personally why I became a writer, and I wouldn't be surprised, if he also inspired alot of other fans to go into the buisness as either an actor or writer. Since then, he has been a major presence in the last decade. This man can do it all, and then some, hopefully he will be intertaining us for generations to come.

David Raye is one of my favorite voice actors in the whole world...he is soooo talented. Love him. Total fangirl moment right here: he had the total most sexiest voice when doing Sesshomaru on InuYasha!! David Raye = Yay! ...Continue »
I dont know much about him. Other than I guess he was born in 1964. He is a terrific voice actor, but unfortunately, I only know from experience his Sesshomaru character. His voice fits Sesshomaru so very well. Though some people might not agree, voice acting is just as hard if not harder than real acting...(for reasons which I wont go into right now), and I think that David Raye just takes it so far. He matches his characters perfectly, as in, when you see a character like Sesshomaru, you expect a certain voice for him, and I think that David Raye just does the best job at matching that fantasy voice. Bring it to life man!

David Kaye's work cover the whole spectrum. He does heroes, villians and all the stuff in between. That deep, cool voice of his sets hearts aflutter every time! ...Continue »
This guy is just plain gifted! That smooth and cool voice of his somehow always manages to convey just the perfect emotion for the moment! Be it cool indifferance (Which I think he does best!) or remorse or worry or whatever else one can think of. Kaye takes whatever charater that is given to him and makes it completely his own. For example: can anyone picture a different voice on Transformers/ Beast wars/ Beast Machines' Megatron? Or a different Sesshomaru? Of course not! Also the fact that he can make a believable villian like Megatron but also the epitome of heroism like Professor X? Clearly he's good!
