1. Zim's VA = identical voice 2. Gaz's VA = same voice just not angry 3. Dib's VA = not really the same but a few bits here and there that match 4. Gir's VA = completely different
"do I find doing Zim hard on my voice? Yes." I would imagine so considering that majority of Zims dialogue is raising his voice, screaming his head off and laughing like a maniac.
Richard Horvitz sounds like a really relaxed Zim in real life. Also I can hear a lot of Raz from Psychonauts. Then doing Zim on top of Zim is how he gets Pox from Destroy All Humans.
When I first clicked I was expecting it to be a sketch with fake voice actors, ala the Futurama featurette that credits Lauren Tom for every single voice, script, effect, etc Not disappointed at all though
Something about watching these old videos and clips and seeing all the older, bulky and tank of tech around them absolutely hits my heart so heavily. How I wish we could go back to the good ‘ol days and really appreciate how well they made stuff with that software.
No joke, Gir's voice actor seems like a total sweetheart. And what does Richard mean about screaming and being loud with Zim. Even though he voiced Billy, doing the same thing 😂😂😂 Incredible voice actor btw.
If Jhonen Vasquez makes a Invader Zim comeback, he had better do it quick!! People's voices change over time. And the possibility of doing another show dwindles with time.
I mean Ricki literally said he didn't sound like GIR in real life and he doesn't. Most of the time voice actors put on a different voice instead of speaking normally. Horrovitz does sound naturally like the more subdued zim lines though.
Indeed it was his Zim's real voice, but it took a lot out of him to SCREAM while voicing the character. They could have used an old trick of recording the original at regular volume, then re-record it LOUD - just below distortion. Richard could scream softer to save his voice. (In the early years of movies they had cartoon breaks) They did the same thing throughout 'Bugs Bunny' cartoons,creating vibrant audio. And back then the competitors were going crazy wondering how they did it. - Final note: They got big bucks from the movie industries for making cartoon breaks in movies until about the 1960's Then the idiot movie industry decided to cut the cord$$$. Cheap bastards.. Tom and Jerry was another work or art because of their previous generosity.
I honestly thought when I watched this show for the first time that Zim's and Dib's voice were pitched up a little, but now hearing their normal voice I no longer think that is the case.
The man who plays gir doesnt even realize the impact that green psycho dogbot has had on a generation how hes quoted and mimicked....gir is pure genius
I think Richard is next to Kristen Schaal as one of my favourite voice actors of all time. I mean like, just listen to them. Their voices are fucking brilliant!!
Seeing this puts a smile on my face.I remember my cousin went to 6 flags and had fun and I was stuck in the house watching all the greatest content.I’m glad I got a chance to experience this my kid life was awesome
HOLY CRAP I WAS SHOCKD WHEN I HEARD THE VOICE ACTOR OF ZIM SAY GIR ! CAUSE THAT REALLY SOUNDED LIKE ZIM IN THE SHOW BUT I THOUGHT THAT THEY ADDED A EFFECT TO IT TO MAKE IT SOUND MORE LIKE SCREAMING
Woah, Alpha 5 really went off the deep end when the original Power Rangers ended and it looks like Ed from Cowboy Bebop somehow got crazier. She's not here but Olivia d'Abo, the voice of Tak, was the princess in Conan The Destroyer.
I'm just picturing Dib, Gaz, and Zim sitting on a couch and The Tallest sitting on another next to their's speaking these lines to the interviewer as if they themselves were talking about their roles in the show XD
When I first found out what Richard sounded like I could ONLY hear Zim when he talked, but now im used to how he sounds and it sounds like... Him. I can still hear Zim if I want, but now its more like Zim has Richard's voice(but more dramatic and yelling) than Richard has Zim's.
Wow imagine like going to the grocery store, with the voice of Billy, Dagget, Zim, and many others. I mean ik Richard's had his voice sound more (average?) On various occasions, but I feel like it wouldn't take a true fan that long to recognize him XD
!["Mopiness of Doom" script reading [ZADR]](/img/n.gif)
When Richard speaks, he sounds just like ZIm. When Andy speaks, I don't hear Dib at all.
Eowyn of Rohan Exactly.
Eowyn of Rohan he sounds like them when he talks in his normal voice
Eowyn of Rohan *ExAcTly*
I hear it a little
I hear it a little. Just barely
I think Invader Zim is the only cartoon that has managed to make pizza look unappetizing
I know what you mean lol. Pizza hog was kinda grody looking but Gaz loved it so i was always torn.
Pizza hog scared me as a kid
Unappetizing is an understatement
The show made Earth culture in general look disgusting.
Ellie Miller the whole point
Holy... that's ACTUALLY his real voice!
Someone with a voice like that only really had one career option
Eowyn of Rohan Pretty Much
DC Koh His voice is sometimes much deeper though
DC Koh what's his name
Ivy Girl Richard S. Horvitz
I feel so bad for Zims voice actor his voice is so iconic it couldn't be any other way
He did Billy in the Grim adventures of Billy and Mandy too. That guy is iconic too
And yet nobody remembers alpha 5.
Daggit from the angry beavers
You guys are forgetting Orthopox from Destroy All Humans
Zim and Billy and so many others
1. Zim's VA = identical voice
2. Gaz's VA = same voice just not angry
3. Dib's VA = not really the same but a few bits here and there that match
4. Gir's VA = completely different
I love how zim always screams and yells
ZIM!!!!
I AM ZEEEEM!
YOU HAVE INVOKED THE WRATH OF ZIMMMM!!
Xaina the Cat ZEEEEEEM
ok
*IT IS I, ZIIIIIM!!*
"sometimes I would go even farther than that." *Proceeds to make strangulated ferret noises*
What dat do? What DAT do? What Dat Dooooo? whatdatdo?
Out of context that's even better
Jhonen: *HEY, RICHARD!* we’re doing a Invader Zim movie for Netflix being released on 2019. LETS DO THIS!
Richard: Aw shit...here we go again..
I really feel bad for Richard's throat
@@guapxe2024 Then fetch him a SOOTHING LOZENGE!
"do I find doing Zim hard on my voice? Yes."
I would imagine so considering that majority of Zims dialogue is raising his voice, screaming his head off and laughing like a maniac.
why does the voice of zim look like jack black mixed with chris farley
Snowen because... HE IS
Snowen
Omg I just realized
Now he looks more like jack black
A little bit of Nathan Fillion
And his casual talking voice sounds like Vic Mignogna.
1:50 That's racist, Dib.
Derp Derpington hehe XD
XD
Anti-irkite bigot. All the irkens want to do is destroy our planet, conquer us and enslave us. Is that so bad?
*w h e e z e*
More like Spacist.
Dib’s voice actor kind of sounds like an older Dib
Lemon Vore girs voice actor looks like current dib
Thats scientifically possible
Richard Horvitz sounds like a really relaxed Zim in real life. Also I can hear a lot of Raz from Psychonauts. Then doing Zim on top of Zim is how he gets Pox from Destroy All Humans.
And Billy from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy
Richard is Zim with a lower blood pressure
He's up there with Cree Summer when it comes to instantly recognizable voice actors.
It made me sad hearing Dib's voice actor wasn't liked as a kid :(
Same It was like that all my life
Why is 'voice actors' in quotation marks like you don't believe that's who they are?
Grawlix **sloshes wine around in glass** these, how you say... _"VOICE ACTORS"_
Grawlix
I’m fucking crying I’m glad someone else noticed this
When I first clicked I was expecting it to be a sketch with fake voice actors, ala the Futurama featurette that credits Lauren Tom for every single voice, script, effect, etc
Not disappointed at all though
Zim was hard on his voice but taking on the role of Billy doesnt help either
Ricky Rubio exactly i mean zim occasionally screams and elevates his voice but billys voice is so much louder than the other characters’ voices 😂
"DESTROY US ALL!!!!!"
*takes mandatory vacation to heal his vocal chords*
"Dib was the most hated" WHAT MY BOI DIB IS MY FAVORITE
Emerzz Watches because every one liked zim more. but i dont really understand the hate though. he's my 3rd favorite character.
Invader Hart True, I can see the appeal to zim and gir, I mean I like zim and gir but just dibs always been my favorite
I'm pretty certain he's talking about in universe how Dib literally has no friends.
64supersonic poor dib ;-;
Emerzz Watches lol same! he's adorkable! but I feel sorry for him tho.
"Everyone let go of their characters..."
Me: NO ONE LET THEIR CHARACTERS GO!!!!
Zim's laugh is one of my favourite things about the show. Besides its spoky demeanor and dark humour.
Something about watching these old videos and clips and seeing all the older, bulky and tank of tech around them absolutely hits my heart so heavily. How I wish we could go back to the good ‘ol days and really appreciate how well they made stuff with that software.
Everyone saying Zim’s VA couldnt get away with being anyone else clearly didnt watch The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
(hint: he’s Billy!)
And harold (billy's dad)
And Raz
Awww Dib’s voice actor seems so wholesome
No joke, Gir's voice actor seems like a total sweetheart.
And what does Richard mean about screaming and being loud with Zim. Even though he voiced Billy, doing the same thing 😂😂😂
Incredible voice actor btw.
If Jhonen Vasquez makes a Invader Zim comeback, he had better do it quick!! People's voices change over time. And the possibility of doing another show dwindles with time.
Don't worry, Zim's voice actor permenantly has that voice =P
@@edward18517 Jhonen Vasquez says that animation while rewarding, can also be really frustrating compared to comics.
Its crazy that Richard voiced characters like the original Alpha 5 and Daggit from Angry Beavers
You have a good TH-cam channel
1:22 OMG HE RLLY SOUNDS LIKE ZIM WHEN HE YELLED GIR!!
Gilbert Benítez OMG THE VOICE OF A CHARACTER SAID A WORD THE CHARACTER SAYS EOWOOWWOWOWWOW
@Caleb you both are morons. Yes, you're right, but there's no need to be rude about it
1:21*
I mean Ricki literally said he didn't sound like GIR in real life and he doesn't. Most of the time voice actors put on a different voice instead of speaking normally. Horrovitz does sound naturally like the more subdued zim lines though.
omg no way it's like he's his voice actor
Why does dib's voice have like a... second tone? It just has another sound that makes it weird.
It always bothered me too. It sounds like they put a filter on his voice.
@@nebula8072 IM NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!
yes omg i always call his voice auto-tuned cuz it has this weird robotic sound to it
IVE ALWAYS NOTICED
@@sharksareamazing9199 IT TRIGGERS ME SO MUCH!!!
_I LOVEDED YOU DIB!_
*_I LOVEDED YOOOUUUU_*
*you had 2 chances to spell it right...*
among us
Bruh the voice actor for zim when he talks normally he just sounds like a more mature zim
Dib is always well loved and respected in my book, as is his voice actor :]
Gosh, Richard’s voice is so goddamn unique, I love it
And that's why he's a voice actor
@@irkenpony17 There are a lot of VAs that have fairly normal voices outside of their roles.
COULD YO U GET A NY SHOR T ER
I'm in love with Gaz voice actress 💖💖💖💖
Luckzor Kerch ikr
She sounds so sweet in real life I was super suprised
WHEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

The chick who voices Gaz is so cute!!!! The guy who voices Dib is very handsome. ☺️
Melissa is amazing she has voiced three of my favorite characters. Gaz, Radical Edward and Dendy.
And Neptune
0:40 the movie zim mentions straining his voice. I believe it’s a shout out to how harsh zim is to his voice actor.
Rikki Simmons!^ㅅ^ why's he so un confident with his Gir voiceㅠㅠ no one's disappointed!
I honestly thought when I watched this show for the first time that Zim's and Dib's voice were pitched up a little, but now hearing their normal voice I no longer think that is the case.
GIR is everything. Thank you for GIR.
*I half expected the voice actor of Dib to have a big head-*
I can't believe Andy Berman, someone I've heard on dozens of Psych commentary tracks, is the voice of Dib. That's crazy.
The man who plays gir doesnt even realize the impact that green psycho dogbot has had on a generation how hes quoted and mimicked....gir is pure genius
Tallest Red sounds just like him in real life it's so COOL!! X3
1:30 yo she's cute af
Simp
Isnt that Neptune?
Wow. These were my favourite shows by far for a good amount of time. Thank you so much!
Purple. Oh my gosh, it's Waffle from Catscratch!
A one in a million vocals for Zim.
Okay but am I the only one that thinks Dib looks adorable looking over at 2:15 ????
Ur not, I found that adorable
Damn, Dib's voice actor is REALLY handsome. 😍
Thx you guys for my favorite show ever
Epic talent ♠️
I think Richard is next to Kristen Schaal as one of my favourite voice actors of all time. I mean like, just listen to them. Their voices are fucking brilliant!!
MOVIE TIME everyeone!!! DOo Dee DOO!
DemiRonin still waitin
IT’S HERE! HAHAHAHAH
Fun Fact: Melissa Fahn, the voice actress for Gaz also voiced Rika on Digimon Tamers
Animate every voice actor role into their characters
I feel sympathy for Dib as well
They need to bring this cartoon back
We need invader Zim back!!!!
Enter the florpus was AMAZING. It brought me back to my childhood
Seeing this puts a smile on my face.I remember my cousin went to 6 flags and had fun and I was stuck in the house watching all the greatest content.I’m glad I got a chance to experience this my kid life was awesome
That little wimpper when he fell off the door
I love it when Zim is laughing :)
Hearing the Tallests and seeing Almighty Red's VA makes me think of Game Grumps for some reason...
Same
Poor Richard..
R.I.P his voice ;-;
HOLY CRAP I WAS SHOCKD WHEN I HEARD THE VOICE ACTOR OF ZIM SAY GIR ! CAUSE THAT REALLY SOUNDED LIKE ZIM IN THE SHOW BUT I THOUGHT THAT THEY ADDED A EFFECT TO IT TO MAKE IT SOUND MORE LIKE SCREAMING
0:05 The 90's. Literally. Sitting in that chair is the literal embodiment of the 90's.
Dumb
“Did I find voicing zim difficult?
Yes.”
*cuts to zim screaming emphatically*
(Did I use emphatically right...?)
coulda sworn GIR was voiced by a woman.
J-Guy same
Saaaaaaaame
In most other languages he is. Zim is usually voiced by women as well in the dubs
@@karinanerett9968 I knew it, cuz in the spanish dub for the show Zim sounds way more womanly
@@flaco3462 Maybe in Spain, cause in Spanish of Latinoamerica the one who voices Gir, in both modes, is a guy.
Are the actors going to be reprising their roles?
DemonEater644 ye
DemonEater644 i know zim is and it sounds like gir is also
I just read earlier that all the main characters(Zim, Gir, Gaz, and Dib) are all doing it.
No~
THE MAGIC CONCH SHELL HAS SPOKEN
Nyanjjkitty12354 Shut the fuck up
I love Zim's voice so much
Fun fact: The voice actor of Gaz is also the same voice actor of Big Neptune from Neptunia.
Also Dendy from ok ko
She was also normal Neptune and Purple Heart.
Gir lives on as my favorite cartoon character ever!
"Creepy"
"Nice people"
Does anyone know where the longer version of this is? I found it a few months ago, but lost it.
I can try and track it down for ya
th-cam.com/video/Isyzj4JPYmM/w-d-xo.html
HOLY GOD RICHARD HORVITZ LITERALLY ACTUALLY *SOUNDS* LIKE THAT. LIKE, THAT IS HIS REAL GOTDANG VOICE.
Woah, Alpha 5 really went off the deep end when the original Power Rangers ended and it looks like Ed from Cowboy Bebop somehow got crazier. She's not here but Olivia d'Abo, the voice of Tak, was the princess in Conan The Destroyer.
I LOVED this show!
Thanks for the memories❤
Love zim ❤
I'm just picturing Dib, Gaz, and Zim sitting on a couch and The Tallest sitting on another next to their's speaking these lines to the interviewer as if they themselves were talking about their roles in the show XD
R.I.P Ms. Bitters
Gir is my spirit animal.
1:28 one of my absolute favorite voices EVER
OMFG THIS MAKES MY NIGHT
They should more show their voices in this interview
Zim’s voice actor sounds so much like him in general tho
The guy that voices Zim also does Rumble from Leauge of Legends
*League
God I love Gaz
When I first found out what Richard sounded like I could ONLY hear Zim when he talked, but now im used to how he sounds and it sounds like... Him. I can still hear Zim if I want, but now its more like Zim has Richard's voice(but more dramatic and yelling) than Richard has Zim's.
Wow never realized Gaz's voice actress was so enchanting.
Even without the sound on you could hear that TV in the background
All mighty tallest purple sounds like pikliey off lilo and stitch XD
Now they're all a million years old, like us. Retirement home zim
Zim and Billy literally sound the same to me
Very cool
I just realized that he’s the voice of moxxie from helluva boss!
I met melissa fahn at comic expo this year and I almost died cause she was so awesome
Wow imagine like going to the grocery store, with the voice of Billy, Dagget, Zim, and many others. I mean ik Richard's had his voice sound more (average?) On various occasions, but I feel like it wouldn't take a true fan that long to recognize him XD
These are the people! This is like finding out there is no Santa. They are my heroes though. My piggies.
Richard's normal voice sounds like Raz from Pyschonauts, lol
It IS Raz from Psychonauts.
