Is that Seth Mcfarlane's real voice? It sounds EXACTLY like Brian and doesn't fit his body/face at all.

 

[Flaming Duck]

I don't think that's his real voice, although he does sound quite a bit like Brian IIRC.

 

[mightynine]

He's overdoing it a bit.

 

[Pimpwerx]

He does Brian's voice, doesn't he? He was overdoing it intentionally though. Funny guy. BTW, the Broodwich episode of ATHF on right now. PEACE.

 

[metsallica]

That's his voice, all right. He has an amazing "radio voice" and plays Brian, Stewie, Peter and Quagmire on the show.

Is that episode based on something? Seems familiar.

I was thinking the same thing, waiting for him to "tone it down" a bit.

 

[metsallica]

Broodwich? It has a definite Don Hertzfeldt feel to it.

 

[LuckyBrand]

what is the broodwich ATHF episode?

all i have seen is everything on vol 1, 2 and 1 episode that wasnt on those two volumes, where shake teams up with some rock band to record a song or something... cant remember it well, but it was REALLY weird.

Holy crap, he plays all of those characters? That's damned impressive. Unlike Dan Castenella's various Simpsons voices or Billy West in Futurama, I never would've guessed that so many Family Guy characters were the same man.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Seth is the man. Creator and main voice of most of the characters. It's a good way to keep a job.

As for the Broodwich, I think it's from "Season 3". That's the DVD I dloaded off BT and if there's a third season already, that must be where they plucked these eps from. I have Season 1, and will get Season 2 soon. If the Broodwich ep isn't on either, then it must be coming on Season 3. One of the funniest episodes IMO. PEACE.

You would have thought Billy West did the voices of Philip J. Fry/Prof. Hubert J. Farnsworth/Dr. Zoidberg/Zapp Brannigan/Leo Wong/Smitty/President Richard Nixon's Head?

Maurice LaMarche is my favourite voice actor though.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Bacon aside, this is the best damn sandwich i ever had!

I knew he did Fry, Farnsworth, Brannigan, and Wong for sure. Never knew about Nixon and Zoidberg, that's pretty impressive.

Still, Macfarlene's got him beat by a landslide in terms of starkly distinct voices for the characters.

Yeah Billy West is amazing. In one episode, there is a character that has no body, is just a glowing green ball. It sounds like it's some weird computer generated voice, but it was actually entirely Billy West, no computer to it at all. I swear it sounds like 3 voices talking at once. Isn't he the new guy who does Bugs Bunny too?

Oh, Seth does TONS of characters. Aside from the one's mentioned, he also does Tom Tucker (news guy), and so many minor characters it's insane.

So it's

SETH - Peter Griffin/Brian Griffin/Stewie Griffin/Glen Quagmire/Tom Tucker/Additional Voices

VS.

Billy - Philip J. Fry/Prof. Hubert J. Farnsworth/Dr. Zoidberg/Zapp Brannigan/Leo Wong/Smitty/President Richard Nixon's Head/Additional Voices

I think Billy wins, because he's done voices aside from Futurama. He's the new guy who does Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Tweety, all these people in Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius (Poultra/Girl Eating Plant/Oyster/Yokian Officer/Jailbreak Cop/Guard/Robobarber/Anchor Boy/Old Man Johnson/Flurp Announcer/Bobby's Twin Brother/Butch ) and he's fricken I-Ninja!

You forgot Ren & Stimpy

 

[Guzim]

Dan Castellaneta > all

 

[pops619]

Billy West did Doug too, didn't he?

 

[human5892]

Don't forget Viewtiful Joe!

But I still prefer Seth Macfarlene.

 

[Mashing]

Yup, it's just the way Seth delivers his lines that make him my favorite
