I remember periodically showing Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated to friends and the exact same conversation would always ensue: *Friend:* That guy doing Fred's voice does a really good job. Sounds just like him. *Me:* That's the same guy. *Friend:* He's still alive?!
Speaking of which, has anyone ever suspected Fred and Daphne's relationship? Why else in every cartoon Fred would always pair with Daphne when the gang splits up?
Fred also voiced Abu, Rajah, and the Cave of Wonders from Aladdin (1992) and Aladdin (2019). Not a fan of Zac Efron’s, Freddie Prinze Jr’s is okay, he voiced Kannan Jarrus from Star Wars Rebels.
Frank sounded a lot more natural during his early run as Fred, but in recent years his voice sounded a bit more cartoony. Not saying its a bad thing, just noticed. Still an iconic voice for Fred.
You know it’s crazy fucking awesome that he started voicing fred when he was just 22-23 years old and now he’s 74 years old and still voicing him and that’s what I called a true dedicated voice actor, a voice acting legend I should say 😎❤️❤️ honestly I admire that a lot :3 and btw awesome vid my friend😊
Seriously, I wish they would've had him and Mathew Lillard doing the voices for Fred and Shaggy for Scoob. Hell, Mathew said he was bummed about not doing it again, and they had already gotten Frank to voice Scooby for the film, so it wouldn't have been that hard.
When they revealed the cast initially for Christopher Robin, I felt the same. They had Jim Cummings voicing Pooh but had someone else voicing Tigger. I'm glad they later changed it by giving Tigger back to Jim. For a long time Jim has been the voice of Pooh and Tigger.
Dude, even Mel Blanc and Clarence Nash would sound at least somewhat tired out by year 50! But here's Frank freakin Welker voicing a teenage jock for that long and STILL sounding good!
@@dankwaifu2093 In fact, the difference between the 1969 clips and the most recent stuff lies far more in the quality of the audio equipment than with Welker's actual voice.
It's been a while since you've done a voice evolution on the Scooby-Doo characters hope you do the rest of them. Lastly, Frank Welker as Fred is hands down the best voice of him.
IMO Frank Welker is heart and soul of Scooby-Doo. I feel like if something happens to him, then that's the end for Scooby-Doo series. They could bring Scott Innes back to voice Scooby-Doo, but what about Fred.
@@snakeeyes2551 I see Frank Welker for Fred the same way that I see Tom Kenny for Spongebob. They're both the heart of each respective series and we don't know what will happen if they pass away or suffer through health conditions.
Wow. Welker's voice was amazingly consistent in 50 years. Not once did he sound like someone in his 70s in the latest movies. Bugs Bunny sounded real old when Mel Blanc got old.
Part of that was certainly due to age, but it probably didn't help that Blanc was in a severe, near-fatal car crash in 1961 that significantly altered his vocal delivery -- and overall health -- after that. It took a toll on him that got more noticeable in the years following the accident.
I still can’t believe that Fred has the same voice actor as megertron, completely 2 different characters , 1 really good and warm hearted and the other cold as ice and evil XD
Whenever you want to give people a clear picture of how versatile Welker is, point out how in Aladdin, he played both the Cave of Wonders and Abu. It doesn't get much further apart than that. 😆
Frank Welker also portrayed Fred in most (if not all) his appearances in Family Guy, and in the crossover episode "Scoobynatural". These + Mike Myers' voice role as Marvin the Martian in "Yule Be Sorry", I kinda don't see why you'd exclude…
Cause Garfield and fred is just Frank Welkers normal voice just in different ways loke fred is higher and sounds younger while Garfield sounds older and lower/deeper
Frank Welker is one of the Best Voice Actors from Scooby Doo's Fred Jones to Transformer's Megatorn to Bigtime Beagle from Ducktales, to Ralph the Guard and Mr. Plotz and many other characters from Tiny Toons & Animaniacs and to many other characters that you could write a book on he is one of the Best in voice acting.
going from 2:38 to 10:27, there's an audible difference - in the quality of the recording! As for his voice, it amazes and delights me just how much he still has it after 50 years!
Fred's voice in the first series was always deeper in the broadcasts I watched as a kid in the 90's. It might of been due to the quality of the broadcast and the fact the TV was old.
So no one's gonna talk about the fact that Jim Wise perfectly nailed the Fred singing voice, if Frank ever retired or something, Jim could take in for Welker. No disrespect to Frank Welker btw, I love the guy
Plus June in animation voiced Granny between1955 to 2017. 62 years. Frank still has ten years left to tie her but can pass Mel Blanc next year for the longest male voice actor to voice the same character for the longest period of time.
Actually Mel passed away in 1989 Yes June did started since 1955-2014 before she died at 99 years old in 2017 when she voice Granny, Frank voice Fred Jones almost 52 years ago even Scooby in 2002
1997 is around the time the voice starts getting better in my opinion I personally like Fred welker's voice in recent Scooby shows like the older he gets the better the voice gets
Fred Jones has been voiced and played by Frank Welker (1969-present), Keith Scott (1981 Pauls commercial), Carl Steven (A Pup Named Scooby-Doo), Scott Innes (2000 Cartoon Network commercial, 2014 McDonalds commercial and Scooby-Doo! Playmobil Mini Mysteries), Freddie Prinze Junior (Scooby-Doo, Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, Operation Rich in Spirit, A Scooby Friday, Punctured Jugular and Mystery Not Incorporated), Ryan Vrba (Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed), Chris Cox (Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed: The Video Game), Robbie Amell (Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins and Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster), Jim Wise (Scooby-Doo! Music of the Vampire), Brett Dalton (Cheese Puff Mountain and Abandoned Places), Zac Efron (Scoob!) and Pierce Gagnon (Scoob!).
Just Like Mel Blanc is the Definitive Bugs Bunny Mae Questel is the Definitive Betty Boop Casey Kasem is the Definitive Shaggy June Foray is the Definitive Rocket J Squirrel 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
My favorite Fred moments were in a Pup Named Scooby Doo when he kept accusing Red Herring, and the one time he promised the gang he wouldn't accuse Red Herring, it actually _was_ Red Herring 🤣
Here's what I don't get: if you were NOT going to use Frank Welker for Scoob, for whatever reason, why not get Freddie Prinze Jr.? He's a pretty good voice actor as well, and it would have been a cool throwback. Nothing against Zac Efron, but that was definitely "celebrity casting", not because he best fit the role.
They tried to revamp the franchise unfortunately it didn't work. I do agree though Freddie Prinze Jr. would have been a nice call back to the 2002 and 2004 movies.
@@Father_of_Death I agree also, I've even said they should've gotten either Scott Innes, Billy West, or even Nick Palatas to voice Shaggy if they didn't use Matthew Lillard for Scoob.
A tip I've been meaning to leave: check the framerates of videos to make sure you're not getting the European PAL versions, which will have the voices sped up a bit (and thus higher pitched) than was intended--at least, in older works. If it's 25fps or 50fps, it's been sped up slightly. I'm pretty sure your source for the 1970-1975 clips was PAL. as I do not remember Fred's voice being higher (and whinier) then, and his voice goes back down in the 1976-1978 clips. And it sounds completely different than when he intentionally makes his voice higher to make him sound younger in 2006-2008.
Mercifully, Mindy Kaling didn't bring him back for the atrocity. I'm sorry Dennis from Always Sunny in Philly got roped in, but it's a noble sacrifice to protect the national treasure.
for such an old voice actor, he Barley sounds any different. and he's still around. that's a world record right there. (I would give him a medal, but I don't want to be tied up by 1 of his traps lol)
@tonyanthonyironman4352 Sure, but to be fair, Frank was Fred since day 1 of the series with few exceptions no one else had voiced him. Plus, Scott Innes could, in theory, return to do Scooby as well
His voice acting definitely become much more fluid after the 80s. Probably had something to do with the insane amount of experience he got in the 90s working for Disney. Seriously... He voiced at least half the characters in a given episode of anything he was in. 🤭
Never notice this before, but I wonder if welker was assigned the voice of fred before the final version of the design? Stop at 2:20 and you look at the two side by side there are several similarities
sometimes i always think of fred and daphne being togther like jay and gloria pritchett since the voice of daphne is young and the voice of fred is old
First the student and then the MASTER! Frank Welker has done it all but will always be Fred Jones 50 years still going! and strangely he was supposed to play Shaggy at the start of his career and Casey Kasem was going to play Fred
Frank Welker is the best original Fred Jones in Scooby-Doo franchise of TV Shows and Movies from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (TV Series 1969-1970) to Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? (TV Series 2019-2021). Let’s Split Up, Gang! 💙😃😁😄
OK it's amazing how you got every voice that Frank Welker has done for Fred but you kind of forgot his appearance of family guy where he also play Fred
I don't know if it counts or not, but in officially sanctioned Warner Bros. capacity, there's a Hallmark released Scooby-Doo ornament with a sound function (so they can charge an extra 5-10 bucks) with someone who totally doesn't sound like Frank doing Fred's voice.
For Scoob! movie, the studio should've hire Frank Welker to play as Fred Jones since Scooby-Doo! Where Are You? has his inception. Even a celebrity Freddie Prinze Jr. or Robbie Amell is a better choice than a random choice.
Kind of surprised Fred had a singing voice in Music of the Vampire. Given his versatility, I would have thought Frank Welker would have been perfectly capable of pulling off a singing performance for the character. Wise is a good singer (after all, this is the guy who performed Goofy Goober Rock in the first SpongeBob movie), but his Fred voice sounds way too nasally. Zac Efron sounds like...well, Zac Efron. There’s not much else to it. The two true voices are Welker and Steven. Steven works well as a younger Fred who has a much more interesting personality than in pretty much any other Scooby media. However, I still lean slightly towards Welker, as he is the voice I’m the most used to, and he is capable of making Fred sound interesting whenever they do manage to give Fred some personality, like on What’s New Scooby Doo? 1. Frank Welker 2. Carl Steven 3. Zac Efron 4. Jim Wise
I remember periodically showing Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated to friends and the exact same conversation would always ensue:
*Friend:* That guy doing Fred's voice does a really good job. Sounds just like him.
*Me:* That's the same guy.
*Friend:* He's still alive?!
IKR I hope the virus won’t ruin his life
@@calebkuti7897 From what I've heard, Frank Welker is a fairly private individual. I would imagine he's taking social distancing very seriously.
Sounds like a good thing to hear. Adapting to our harsh present so that our well deserved and brighter future can finally come to us
I mean the guy was only 25 when he started voicing Fred. He’s 11 years younger than Casey Kasem
Freddie Prinz JR does a great live action Fred the other one in mystery begins and lake monster was good but he wasn't blonde
It's amazing how Frank Welker has been voicing Fred Jones for 51 years it's crazy.
Frank Welker has been voicing Fred for 50 years and that's very impressive.
Fred would make a great source for dating advice....
SPLIT UP AND LOOK FOR CLUES XD
Speaking of which, has anyone ever suspected Fred and Daphne's relationship? Why else in every cartoon Fred would always pair with Daphne when the gang splits up?
I guess that’s why he always want the gang to split up so that he can be closer to her
Caleb Kuti but Velma was with them too lol and no one suspected Velma and Shaggy was gonna be a couple 😂
Frank Welker is my favorite Fred.
And Scooby, Soundwave, and Megatron.
@@mechasaurus Eventhough Don Messick originally voice Scooby, I do enjoy his take on Scooby but Don was better overall.
@@nathanfuller8118 Frank did tried out for Shaggy back in 1969, but Scott Innes voiced him for Cyber Chase.
Fred also voiced Abu, Rajah, and the Cave of Wonders from Aladdin (1992) and Aladdin (2019).
Not a fan of Zac Efron’s, Freddie Prinze Jr’s is okay, he voiced Kannan Jarrus from Star Wars Rebels.
Me too.
Frank is a fantastic Fred, but give credit to Carl Steven playing young Freddy. I think that casting choice was perfect.
Yeah, RIP Steven.
Frank sounded a lot more natural during his early run as Fred, but in recent years his voice sounded a bit more cartoony. Not saying its a bad thing, just noticed. Still an iconic voice for Fred.
It’s probably due to how the older shows took him more seriously while the new ones started to dumb him down to give him more of a personality.
@@shadowdramon01
Who doesn't love Golden Retriever personality Fred?
Welker's voice is so iconic since he's been voicing him for so long, the only way you can replace him is by someone doing an exact impression
I mean that's what they said about Don Messick and Casey Kasem, for Shaggy and Scooby, then Scott Innes did a good job and Matthew Lillard came along.
@@Warriorcats64Scott innes does a decent Fred impression as well

You know it's kinda scary how Prinze Jr. And Amell nailed Fred's vocal mannerisms.
The former sounded too deep to me

Hell, Mathew said he was bummed about not doing it again, and they had already gotten Frank to voice Scooby for the film, so it wouldn't have been that hard.
hmmm good point there
Grey Griffin was bummed out too.
Yeah, plus it would’ve saved money

But here's Frank freakin Welker voicing a teenage jock for that long and STILL sounding good!
Though Frank was younger then Mel or Clarence when he began voicing Fred.

Yeah Daffy sounded so old and hoarse in Quackbusters. No offense to Mel Blanc though.
Blanc was also a heavy smoker for most of his life. I seriously doubt Frank has EVER smoked a cigarette. :D
We can all say it universally that Frank Welker is the best voice actor for Fred and has still got it after all these years.

I remember the old Scooby Doo tv shows. I liked the movie and I love Scoob. I love the friendship between them too.
I didn’t think you would make this video, but I’m glad you did. Gotta pay respect to the man Frank Welker.
Fred has slowly gotten more Garfield over the years
Cause Garfield and fred is just Frank Welkers normal voice just in different ways loke fred is higher and sounds younger while Garfield sounds older and lower/deeper
Frank Welker, Freddie Prinze Jr and Zac Efron are all perfect Freds
My ears can't accept listening to the old Scooby gang voices without a meme reference from the YTP SKOOKS
Frank's voice of Fred has really remain consistency over the years.
Frank Welker is one of the Best Voice Actors from Scooby Doo's Fred Jones to Transformer's Megatorn to Bigtime Beagle from Ducktales, to Ralph the Guard and Mr. Plotz and many other characters from Tiny Toons & Animaniacs and to many other characters that you could write a book on he is one of the Best in voice acting.

Not originally far as Scooby.

1997 is around the time the voice starts getting better in my opinion I personally like Fred welker's voice in recent Scooby shows like the older he gets the better the voice gets
So, the take away is that Freddy is like the ultimate optimist and such an excitable little scamp. Makes sense.
the old man has been voice of without having his voice to direct to dvd movies
I love your videos so much keep up the good work Man
recording tech has changed more than his voice.
Well gang looks like we have another mystery on our hands
