Any ideas for the voice acting in the ABC Warriors cartooon that we've all just seen the trailer of?
Now clearly, the chances are that any actor most of us can name may be beyond the reach of the budget (and voice acting is a different animal anyway, just because you can do theatre or telly or whatever, it doesn't necessarily follow that voice acting is going to be up to scratch). So what I think we MIGHT be discussing here is naming people who sound LIKE what we think the characters' voices sound like.
I'll go first, and my ideas are far from complete. Indeed, I've only got one real idea, and he's not even a proper warrior.
Ro-Jaws - Ideally I'd like Ronnie Barker to come out of retirement and do this, otherwise I'd be happy with a sound-alike. "Fork 'andles" etc.
Also, for some reason, I've always imagined Mek-Quake to have a high, irritating voice. No idea why, but I think the presumed deep voices of the likes of Mongrol and Hammerstein need a balance at the other register.
Thoughts anyone?

Well, clearly Hammerstein should sound like Ron Moody playing Fagin, what with him being Jewish and all ...

Ronnie Barker is dead. Has been for a while. Bloody shame too.
Have to say though, I know what you mean, I can hear it now.
I reckon Patrick Warburton would be a good fit for Hammerstein. Yank though, and I'd guess this is a British production? Haven't really been following this story. He's done a lot of voicework to so he can handle the medium.

Dead?
Bum.
Oh well.
As for Hammerstein, I think he's built by Howard Quartz who's American and in flashbacks in "The Black Hole" he's seen with an American flag trying to screw that bloke's head back on (the one who tried it on with his programmer). So an American accent is certainly fitting.
Part of me wants Deadlock to have the same voice as Stewie Griffin....

My point was more along the lines of whether we could expect an American name to voice Hammerstein if this is a British production, rather than what accaent the characters might have. I'd think, given his background, Hammerstein at least would need an American accent. I just think we're more likely to get a Brit putting it on than an actual yank.

I've had a few more thoughts about this.
JOE PINEAPPLES - I'm thinking someone with a Samuel Jackson style voice. He's ice cool after all.
BLACKBLOOD - Seeing as he's Volgan-built then he'd probably have a Russian accent although maybe that's a little un-PC? Personally, ever since playing Metal Gear Solid for the first time way back in the day, I'd had in mind the guy who voiced Ocelot as Blackblood in a heartbeat. Lisping pirate stuff.
MAD RON - Not a proper warrior but maybe, if he were to guest, he should be voiced by the guy who does Phil Mitchel in Eastenders.....
HAPPY SHRAPNEL - For me, Gene Hackman.
DR FEELGOOD - Anthony Head?

I'd say that Bill Nighy as Blackblood, based on his utter evilness in Underworld.
Andy Mc Nab or Sean Pertwee as Hammerstein
As for Ro Jaws, well, I think they should just grab any cockney from off the street!
Deadlock, wassname that was Gandalf.

I always imagined Mek-Quake to have a slow, deep, gravelly, voice. Mike G points out that the voice would need to be different from all the other deep voices that will inevitable saturate the team, but for me Mek-Quake is less 'forceful authoritive deep', and more, 'who is this wheezing perv on the other end of the phone line?' deep.
I think its all the lines that go along the lines of "I like... hurr... hurrr... gratuitous violence... hurrrr-hurrrr..." etc.

Being somewhat au fait with the business of voice acting (and people have suggested that I try it out - though it's not likely to happen) I can see a few possibilities here.
My strongest idea is that Deadlock has always had the voice of Terry Thomas (in my head, at least!)
Whoever suggested Bill Nighy as Blackblood was BANG ON THE MONEY.
I hear Richard Epcar's voice coming out of Hammerstein's mouth.
How about Joe Swash as Ro-Jaws?

Yeah, I always thought as Mek-Quake being a bit Arthur Mullard.
Ro-Jaws - Mike Reid.
Deadlock - Christopher Lee

Hi Mike, I could be misinformed, but someone I know, who doesn't have a huge budget is getting some "A" list (or previously "A" list) actors to do some voice overs. Apparently most stars only charge a small fraction of their normal fee for voice work.
That said, in some cases, I'm sure that a small fraction of their normal fee, still could be a lot. If anyone can confirm or deny, please do.
P.S. I like Steve's idea of Christopher Lee as Deadlock and your idea of Samuel Jackson for JP.

I can imagine Timothy Dalton's voice coming out of Blackblood, Dalton has a skill for playing brooding characters. It would be intersting to hear him play a ruthless character such as Blackblood.
Also I think Sean Bean would be perfect for Hammerstein.

Danny Dyer should first be treated like the teachers at the Kollege of Khaos. For about a year. Should he survive, I doubt he'd want to impersonate his tormentor.
For some reason I find the man brings out my dark side. Must be something to do with his being a talentless irritating prick.

I've only seen Dyer in one film (severance) and he was actually pretty good, which surprised me a little considering the stick he gets. In the dvd extras he came across ss likable, dedicated and proffessional.
Until he started talking about anything other than the movie. After that I was left in no doubt whatsoever that in his personal life he is a deeply unpleasant individual.

Ross Kemp? Or the geezer who plays his brother in Eastenders? My Cod, I'd rather ANYONE rather than Dyer.

We've decided that to celebrate the upcoming A.B.C. Warriors animation from Firestep & Rebellion we will begin to work on a special issue of ZARJAZ.
To that end what we'd like to do is feature seven strips in the issue- that is one for each warrior. So if you have a Mongrol script rattling around your noggin, or a desire to see Morrigun back for one more time, feel free to pitch to us at the usual address. The blog can be found in my sig below.

Quote from: wild-seven on 22 November, 2009, 07:17:00 PMYeah, utter utter C*NT.
I guess that means that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, is stuffed then!
Quote from: gdarmo on 22 November, 2009, 06:36:35 PMGood one!
Thats why he is only playing Madd Ronn - cue large spaceliner explosion...
Quote from: gdarmo on 22 November, 2009, 06:46:27 PMHis shot at Johnny Alpha proves he's got voice acting chops. Could work.
The other name I thought of for Mad Ronn was Simon Pegg...

He could even take a shot at mek-quake - I've always thought his voice would not be deep. It should have a child-like quality

I'm pretty sure at this point, the ABC Warriors Game/Movie is not getting anything done. I'm sure that trailer was just a way for our hopes to get risen.
All the same I'm giving up hope on an ABC Warriors game/movie.

Er, you DO know how these things work don't you? They announce it and show you something as soon as they've got ANYTHING to show you, then silence until shortly before it lands. These things take a very long time.
