30 days of Seiyuu Meme (Day 21)

Back on the GOOKINGSWORD HUNT! DAMN!

Continuing 30 Days of Seiyuu meme. Links to previous entries are given.

Day 21: The seiyuu with the most acting range

katsurasan


Ishida!

This is a lovely one. That reminds me, yesterday, I watched Blockbuster Buster's Top 10 Voice Over Actors video I'm quite happy about his choices, but I'm a little puzzled about him saying "actors that get by using one voice or variations of their voice." What is the latter supposed to entail? Like, dialects?

Which also reminds me on how people complain about an actor "who only has 2 or 3 voices". Insulting.

Anyways, here are my choices.

Tobita Nobuo (飛田 展男), Matsumoto Yasunori (松本保典), Ueda Yuji (うえだ ゆうじ), ISHIDA AKIRA (石田 彰), and Yamadera Kouichi (山寺 宏一).

Yama-chan, AKA Yama Kouichi, is like a seiyuu icon. He's even in Disney movies (for some reason. maybe because he's an actor) while the cast, like in English, are adopted by celebrities. So, he gets these chances to play iconic characters in Disney (including in Kingdom Hearts game series) like Genie from Aladin, DONALD DUCK and The Beast. Furthermore, he dubs various popular actors. His Donald Duck is fantastic. I don't think I hear any flaw.

Well, the flaw is, sometimes you don't understand what Donald says anyway ;)

I talked about Ueda plenty. He even "voices" a ton of pokemon (with Miki Shinichirou). Along with the singing voice, quite a package.

Whew, I really wanted to mention Ishida SOMETIME in this meme. Child? Yup. Woman? Yup! Adult, yup. Older? Yep. Animal, yep! Sexy, mean, kind, etc. Tobita has wide-range as well! Also...NicoDouga has turned him into a meme. His fans had made some craaaazy videos on him. Really, who came up with the Perverted Kamille idea? *Rubs forehead*

I can probably add Sakurai Takehiro too. I will also say Seki Tomokazu (関 智一). I talked about Seki Tomo's roles under 'birthday" tag somewhere.

For the girls, Hayashibara Megumi. Maybe she's like Yamadera cause she's an icon. Geezus. IMO, she inclines towards adults, animals, KIDS (girls and boys).

Some of these are difficult to imagine, especially if they're being pigeon-holed. Gonna have to personally explore their careers yourself, unless they can change their roles in such short time. Especially for recent works.

If anyone have any opinions/suggestions, enlighten me.

I love Ishida Akira! When I heard him in Sukisho, I was like, "that's a guy?!?" Sakurai surprised me, too. Just could not equate Yuuri and Misaki with Sasori. Haha.
