      That's why it's a falsetto lol. I can do it too and my voice is deep. Hell if I don't talk with enough energy you can't even hear me, but when people ask me to speak up it makes me sound mad lol. Kind of annoying but I'd over having a high pitched whiny voice any day! ✊✌

      I get your sentiment and this dude is really talented, but all voice actors are “true” voice actors … we hear the same voice actors constantly over thousands of cartoons and animations and are none the wiser. It’s easy to point to some and say you can tell it’s the same actor but that’s only when they are distinctly similar, and never notice all the times we never noticed.

      Andrew Rodriguez Don't forget that in one episode of "The Fairly Oddparents" he was the voice on the magic microphone, and at one point, Chester attempts to do an impression of Darth Vader with it, so at least he did a good impression of Darth Vader.

Your voice has carried so many if us through good and bad times! Cartoons are way more important than many know or understand. For a lot of us, cartoons are therapy! They allow us a mental escape from this life's hardships by providing examples of strength and perseverance. Humility and integrity are also excellent principles demonstrated through cartoons. Superheros and cartoons provided these examples for me, when I didn't have adults to do so. I know I'm not the only one! Actors like Michael bring these characters to life, leaving them in our memories to draw upon when needed. I am so grateful for this! I learned SO MUCH!!

      It still kind of is to me. Kamek did seem like a good fit for him (especially given that he has a pretty good upper voice range), but given that his basso profundo is much more well known and utilized more often (and even though he’s voiced a shit ton of characters with deep voices, whether intimidating or comical) I couldn’t picture any Mario character more perfect for him than Bowser, and I still can’t. Thankfully, we got not only his upper voice range, but a voice that matches Kamek’s character, and not a bassy voice for the use of the small guy deep voice trope, and because of this, I am more than excited to hear more of it.
