    He is the Voice God, no doubt about it! hide show

    At first sight, most people would say that he is just another voice actor, but if they knew that he is able to come up with the craziest voices for the craziest characters in the History of cartoons, they would be surprised. Frank Welker has voiced some of the best cartoon characters ever, and has done both good guys and bad guys. He is better known for voicing Fred Jones and Scooby-Doo, but he's also known for voicing many cartoon villains like Dr. Claw, Megatron, Soundwave, Dr. Viper, among many others. He is without a doubt one of the most talented voice actors in the world, if not the most talented of tham all. Pure Gold I can tell you!

    One of the greatest cartoon voice actors of all time. hide show

    Ever since before I was born, Frank Welker has always done alot of good voices in various cartoons. He's always been very good with Fred in the Scooby-Doo cartoons. He also voices various animal sounds in most cartoons I like both old ones and new ones and he does real good with all the ones I know of. In 'Dexter's Laboratory' he did very well as Krunk in 'Justice Friends', it sounded very much like the Incredible Hulk which Krunk is a parody of. In 'Garfield Gets Real', he voiced Garfield and he did a wonderful job. He does a very good mimic of Lorenzo Music's Garfield voice and it fits better then Bill Murray's voice for Garfield in the live action Garfield movies. In 'Garfield and Friends', the voices he gives Bo, Booker and Shelden fit them real well. Bo's voice really makes him sound like a Sheep charactor which he is and Booker and Sheldon both have voices that suit them too. They do sound almost identicle but it's okay because they are brothers so it makes sense. Frank Welker does a very good voice for Scooby-Doo aswell. He makes Scooby-Doo sound the way Scooby is supposed to sound.

    He sounds like a handsome chap!!! hide show

    Im glad that Frank welker did some voices on my favorite show, Animanaics. Frank welker sounds so handsome even I never seen him before for some reason. He does a really great job on the voices of Runt, Buttons, Chicken boo and others. If I had one wish, I would wish that I had such I handsome voice like that. I hope Frank welker does not do dumb shows like squirrel boy and my gym parner`s a monkey. I would just wish that I was girl and marry him. He is very cool. What ever he is doing right, I wish him the best of luck.

    Frank Welker, The Voice God. hide show

    Frank started out on Scooby do, now he is everywhere. You may not recognize his face but you WILL recognize his voice. You pretty much cannot watch a cartoon without hearing Frank's voice at some point. How is it possible for one man to have so many voices? Frank was recently listed as the #1 box office draw. He is too underated, because peolpe don't know his name but everyone has heard his voice. If you thought Mel Blanc was the quidiscential voice actor, you have not heard of Frank. It is no surprise he is everywhere, no one else can do what he does as well as he does it. If I could have given him higher than a 10 I would have. What else can be said about the "voice god".
