That guy has some sick range, very impressive.
Yeah
Amazing how much he offered per Foto, right?!
Yeah I typically can pick out Phil LaMarr easily but some of these are really outside his typical roles
Honestly
Its Cyborg. Booya!
What amazes me is not only did he come up with voices for these characters, but he gave all of them two or three solid and distinctly different voices each. Like damn, that is serious talent.
Evan Lyne I agree
and improvised a ton of material
yeah man, thanks for explaining the video we just watched. really appreciate it...
theQUEST theres always one isnt there lol???
@@IIZ3720II he cant give appreciation? smh
It’s a shame how underrated voice actors are.
They probably feel valued. Most people overlook them, but their fans are DIEHARD!
His karate black kid sounds like a mixture of young Michael Jackson and static shock
Kingdom of the champion he is static shock lmao
@@gr8xman7 i know that
Phil LaMarr has played Michael Jackson on Mad TV
@@lalakuma9 awesome! Now that's something i did not know
he sounded like kevin hart for a second
I bet he tells the best bedtime stories, everytime he reads a book it turns into a movie
Your here
Right?! I'm low key jealous.
He’d make a great voice actor for an audio book
I MUST SAY ID NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT TO SEE YOU ON THIS RANDOM VIDEO
**2 hours later** "Holy $#!* dad! I just asked for a glass of water!"
His is far beyond the level of a professional, this is mastery of an art.
100% agree. This man has voiced so many amazing and memorable characters
Factssss
Plot twist: He’s the ONLY voice actor.
He’s all of them.
I want a show where he's the only voice actor for every character
This is exactly why I love voice actors. He doesn't just do the voice, he turns into the character.
Plot twist; his “real” voice is also an act and he has never revealed his real voice before
His real voice is really smooth. I'm thinking he consciously alters it to be better, like a singer does.
Woooooow
voice reveal at 5M subs
+
@@aguven slap like now
this is sick, all of these characters are immediately believable and lovable
The egg has spoken
This is the best one I’ve seen. He has more variety in his tone. They all sound different. All the other ones I can hear the person’s real voice somewhere in the voiceover that helps me pinpoint who the person is. This guy is on another level.
And has been for 30 years.
I'm mesmerized by how his face changes with every voice, extremely cool to watch.
I don't think people realize how much talent that takes.
As I watch him I try to understand what's going through his mind. Especially looking at him do the nerd character.
Really? I look at that with absolute wonder because I can’t even imitate my sister. Plus the creativity involved in creating new voices
Let alone how talented he was on mad tv
Yabro foshizzlez
This is massive talent. 1:24
"I ain't never actually done karate...or spelt it but..I LOVE IT MAN"😂
Cayden Marino 😂😂😂
seriously underrated, the range of his voice is incredible.
This Guy probably has the most range of any voice actor I’ve ever heard.
Voice acting seems like a very open-ended profession and I'm noticing that so many of these actors have such a great understanding of the background context of each character they come across. It's a perfect cross between real-world exposure and sheer imagination
they basically have so much reference material already. they know all the tropes and story lines and how the directors introduce them to their characters motivations and so on. most of them could already direct themselfes.
This guy is card-carrying master. Very few voice-actors actually have his level of prestige. He’s up there with Mel Blanc, John DiMaggio, and Billy West as far as I’m concerned.
James Arnold Taylor as well
charles martinet?
Tom kenny!
what about Matt Mercer and friends??
Yep
6:29 He impersonated Patrick Warburton voicing Brock Samson.
It was hilariously accurate
Phil LaMarr could dub over every japanese anime by himself and still have only used 10% of his brain
I would love to see that.
To be fair, that’s all we use lol! But yeah would def love to see/hear that!
Perfect description
Only problem being that he and other really talented American cartoon actors never do anime.
"i accidently signed over the deed to the castle. WE'RE HOMELESS!" 😂
Jese Rocchild 😂
4:18
So interesting how he'll physically adopt the traits of characters like the monster at 2:50 to affect the voice that he chooses.
Or the owl around 4:00! So true
Very same ethic as Robin Williams for his creations. Or why Andy Serkis wanted to be in motion cap suit for LoTR as well! These actors are supremely talented :)
Kind of like visual artists changing faces to draw up expressions
Is that that unusual for a voice actor, or an actor in general?
His real voice is so soothing. He can make a grocery list sound beautiful.
The quality of his voice acting is just insane
I've always thought that Phil LaMarr is grossly underappreciated, he is fantastic.
Phil is one of the sweetest people in person. He's such a wonderful voice actor, I absolutely adore him.
“Nerds are running all the studios” LMAO
Truth :)
I would watch every episode of a Forge Goreman show
His Patrick Warburton is DEAD ON THOUGH 😂😂😂
Like for fuxking real it was crazy haha
on god ahahaha
A legend! He voiced Static from Static Shock! ❤️
I loved the episode where Static met his hero the Green Lantern John Stewart, so it was mostly Phil LaMarr talking to himself.
The mad man I think he was the voice of Medabee on Medabots too
you just put a shock to my system.
I knew it! As soon as he did the voice for that karate kid I was like "Static?!"
That's why that voice he did with the karate kid sounded so familiar
"And I eat Angel Birds!! *Slurpsklipsluripslurp--*"
"--Hi. I'm Phil LaMarr."
Phil LaMarr is a treasure most people don't know they have.
This man is my Green Lantern.
My favorite
Facts
HES BOLBY?!
Yes! HAhahahah 😂😂
SLAP SLAP SLAP
CLAP CLAP CLAP
Check his credits
i'll never be the same after knowing this lol
I KNOW RIGHT?
When it came to the 40s spy guy, his natural voice seemed like a perfect fit.
The guy at the grill sounded like a Chris Rock character - "How much for just one rib?"
Lmao "Just 1"! 😂
HEY I'M FORGE JORMAN!
He did play Marty in the Madagascar video game
Whats interesting is how he develops stories around the image. Its easy to imagine cartoons he's worked on, stories were changed just cause of his delivery
"Oh man, I just shot Marvin in the face."
REALLY?!?! 😂😂😂😂
"Marvin... what do you make of all this?"
"Maaann I dont even have an opinion"
Man.. Looked all over for this comment
@Derek McCumber The way you phrase it makes it sound like they removed Marvin's death, which obviously didn't happen, so I assume you're saying there was a close-up of his caved-in face that got edited out? That's a classic.
👍
5:04 "...the pyuoiprle one!" That was one helluva inflection
Wow, he plays in a whole different league than the other voice actors.
That Forge Goreman sounds like an older Chris Rock lol
3:00 phil lamarr impersonating patrick warburton voicing a monster
old mate 😂😂
old mate welcome to inception
4:16 I love it when he improvs clever lines for these characters.
This is me when I’m high on mushrooms talking to all my friends dogs.
He was also in pulp fiction and the weekenders
OMG he's the dude who accidentally gets shot in the car !!
oh man, I shot Marv in the face!
Say what again, I double dare you
@@elevatedaspirations He was Marv, the scene in the car after the apartment scene in the beginning. He's the guy Vincent Vega accidentally shoots in the face and they have to clean the car afterwards with the help of Winston Wolfe.
@@littlegravitas9898 Aw. I was gonna say that! Hahaha great minds. 👏🏿😂😂
He’s also Marvin from Pulp Fiction
"I ain't never done karate... or spelt it"
Nice.
They could just make an animated sitcom and he just voices all the characters
He'd have one nice fat paycheck if they do.
He really brought life to those random pictures. Very good!
I'm so glad to see Phil LaMarr working successfully and with so much talent that I never knew he had. Mad TV!!!
Same here, I grew up watching him on MadTV. I always smile when i see the cast doing good for themselves these days.
This man is a gift. We must treasure him.
5:47 "well now we've got a delivery guy. I've got a little experience playing these guys."
*Is that a Futurama reference*
th-cam.com/video/bboV3zRAn7A/w-d-xo.html This is the first thing that popped in my mind, and the voice he did is pretty similar.
On top of the fitting voices, he gives them fitting lines .......aaaand a variation of very clever personas . This is brilliant
He's the best, man. He's nailing every voice of these never before seen characters like nothing. Go, LaMarr!
There has been a serious amount of talent in these voice actor improv series, but Phil stood out as especially impressive here. He executed such a spread of voices, and he was so intuitive and thoughtful in how he brought the characters to life. That was exceptional.
1:29 he sounds like the real Michael Jackson in that one robot chicken episode
6:28 bro he sounded just like him 😭😭
Blew dis man out the water 😭
He and I were at Yale at the same time. It's safe to say that none of us (and probably including Phil) knew how good he'd get as an actor. Voice Acting is the one type of acting where how you look is immaterial to the character you can play. And that gives guys like Phil with incredible range an opportunity to do amazing things we wouldn't have gotten considered for in a face role.
W2 health care technology.
The shade!
This seems passive aggressive af.
I most confess, he is the best.
Such a wide range.
Now Imagine Samurai Jack going "SLAP SLAP SLAP! CLAP CLAP CLAP!"
If y’all haven’t seen “I Know That Voice.” I highly recommend it. It’s got a bunch of voice actors, including our boi Phil.
I agree I watched it’s good
Where can I watch this, Hash? I was looking for it a few months ago and could not find it.
@@tush8912 try searching steam.it? If that site still exists. Used to be very helpful!
@@MeanBeanComedy No goo. bruh. Thanks though
@@tush8912 rats.
All of these voices sounded like different people
Incredibly versatile and talented
I am so inspired by this man's commitment to any role! I mean, just allowing yourself to be so weird is impressive enough. There are voice-actors/actresses that won't do certain roles because they feel the role would be too embarrassing. True props to you Mr. LaMarr.
5:48 LMAO he was talking about his delivery character in MADtv.
Also his Futurama character given they all worked for a delivery company
No lie, this man is amazing! He needs alot more credit.
I saw him at the grocery store recently... I should have said hello. A guy who is THIS talented deserves to know that he has fans. I failed.
I met him at NYCC..he was really cool!
Kick yourself!
You can still message him! 😁
You were probably a bit star struck.
Smh.
"who put these plants in my meat food?!"
So impressive. All his voices give the drawings so much personality
"You can only fit one burger on it, but it's one good burger" 🤣
HE WAS IN PULP FICTION TOO. NEVER FORGET. THIS MAN IS ONE OF THE BEST VOICE ACTORS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.
This guy should be on the Voice hall of Fame.
Even his regular speaking voice is NUTS. 🤯🤯🤯 he definitely has a gift, he really gives these characters distinct personalities!
Can't believe this is the same guy that got his head shot off in Pulp Fiction 😂😂😂 talk about RANGE
And Mad TV
It grew back!
OMG. I AM IN AWE OF THIS GUY'S TALENT. My entire childhood in one person!!
His improve jokes were the icing on top of this beautiful, creative, voice cake
This whole series is brilliant, but this one is my favorite so far!
A couple times he came real close to sounding like Chris rock when he narrated Everybody hates Chris lol
Plot twist: He does ADR for everything Chris Rock is in
I always thought that was chris rock narrating
4:50 suddenly Chris Rock
"Every role you're given is a problem to be solved." Honestly a great tip not just for voice acting but also in life. This dude is the best. 😁
I never knew you voiced so many different character of my favourite shows. Its weird to think you've kinda been with my life for like 12+ years in the background with me not noticing you.
Compare this to Patrick Warburton. Patrick is a fine voice actor, but Phil is god tier. His range and ability to perceive the personality elements of the characters is so mind-blowing.
These are so accurate
I love how I viewed the yeti picture and thought the yeti was calm, relaxed and gentle. The voice reflected that, yet once he shifted to a sinister, villainous voice, I immediately felt that energy, disregarding my previous assessment.
"It's this tree right here" 😂😂😂
This guy is spectacular! Make him viral!
This video will do.
People don't know him?
We would if we could. We can't do that. Only the youtube algorithm can do that.
I still love him as Green Lantern from the Justice League Animated Series. The best role he's ever done, in my opinion.
mans really gave us 2 for almost every character. wow
This is one of the most impressive VO clips I have ever seen
3:34 Is Phil LaMarr a legit genius? 3 Voices in, and he's already proven his brilliance.
the UPS guy!!!! Almost forgot about his MAD TV character. Love all of these. Fantastic!
This mana is one of the best voice actors i’ve ever heard
I love watching him voice act. His expressions are so amazing!
3:16 is actually an Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonation
lol his white people voice on point.
Bruhhhhh when he did his Joe Swanson impression I diedddd
@@TheDanielLivingston when he was doing the package guy i was like BRUH lol
As was his black people voice!
@@thepigproductivity right!👍🏿
Probably better than my black people voice.... which usually doesn't go over too well for some reason......
I like the first voice for the little nerdy kid and the crazy voice for the black monster 🤣
I love this guy with my heart and soul and I always get excited when I recognize him/his voice in a show
Plot twist Marvin wasn’t the one who was shot in pulp fiction
Phil LaMarr fan since Pulp Fiction. Glad to see him still in action.
Loved the "I sold the deed to our castle - We're homeless!". XD
Loving watching all these voice actors find even more voices! Thanks for another one! I loved all of them! Especially the owl and karate kid
