...It's your voice, man. I have no idea how to tell you "Well, you stick your tounge 3 inches behind your uvula, then you play the game, then you talk like Homsar."

You gotta use the paper towel tubes, man!
it's the trade secret!

no, actually, I'd just say.....practice. Listen to the voices A LOT. and practice.

if anything can do it, that probably can....probably.

Um, I could give you tips on how to do a flawless Poopsmith...

^_^;; It's a nice idea, this thread...but everyone's voice is different. What works for one might not work for all.

Personally I'd be a little afraid if I could do a flawless impersonation of every character. Mostly because I'm a girl.

I can do a pretty good Marzipan, so is that a bit scary?

Strong Fan, some people just have the ability. Just practice a lot. Just be wary, some voices are hard on the throat.

For The Cheat, you kind of have to roll your tongue backwards 90 degrees, make sure that only the sides touch the roof of your mouth (by the teeth, also), and make high "meh" noises. It is really more of a "mreh" than it is a "meh", but the "r" is barely there.

As for Senor Cardgage, first blow some air through your throat in a certain way. The result, when you do it right, will sound like a dark, eerie cross between "ah" and "ar". Now speak in a low voice that sounds like nails screeching against a chalkboard (for best results, from the back of your throat) while doing that.

Those are the only two characters I know how to do, mostly because I still sound like an 11-year-old. For those without any vocal skills whatsoever, you could always do Pom Pom...

Excellent point. It's really tough to provide guides on how to do cartoon character voices. Hell, I bet Matt Chapman would have a tough time explaining it! You just gotta play around with your voice strongfan, don't be shy! Oh, and keep a glass of water near you at all times. You don't want to strain yourself.

WAIT! I do have a tip on imitating Bubs… It's quite simple really; just do your best "Fat Albert" impression. That's roughly what Bubs' voice is based on, so shoot for that! ;)

Ramrod, you've been known to do some girly things that are just as scary. *cough*dress*cough*

I can do a flawless voice for all of the main characters!








You just have to run my voice through 20 or-so voice editing programs first. :P
