@@Axo_Real agree in your agreement, the content is indeed fantastic
my bois love the piano outros
@@TheSurrealEmbassy you said it
To be fair, what would a giant fire breathing cat turtle even sound like?
i never thought of that when i first played, but i was like 6 so i probably wouldn't've
@ur awesome no you bot
@@AP-iz8du at least he is sharing the Quran
@@starrymohannad no, he was just spamming.
"Meeeeeeeeeeeeeyoooooooowwwwww" but in a deep and menacing way
This guy is incredible. He hurt his throat that bad and still gives a smile when talk about Meowser.
Meowser is a good character
Such a good game for his character too
Wheres the wiki for meowser
BURN MY DREAD
Sorry, i just looked at your pfp and i thought to use a joke.
@@Liquidruby5 Hahaha no prob, it's always good to meet another P3 fan! :)
I’m glad that Kenny is ok, and love him being bowser
Ikr tom kenny is very light hearted ❤
Bruh stfu he is talking about another guy not cringey tom kenny stop commenting random things stfu.

Kenny James birthday is literally tomorrow, so the timing of this video could've never been perfect.
@i Play Sometimes your comment made me lose peace and tranquility
Wait his birthday is 1 day before mine? That’s pretty cool tbh
Being reminded of that time you lost your voice is the perfect birthday present.
HOLY
@@Josuh no one is around to help
And to this day, I wonder how Samantha didn't destroy her voice with Toad but Kenny did with Meowser.
water. lots and lots of water.
@@ShadowSorel Guess Kenny should've gotten that then.
He's using the same mechanism as she uses, but deeper and louder. It makes sense to me.
100th like, and you’re right. Weird.
Samantha is the only person who can’t hurt her throat doing a high pitched voice, she’s a legend
His recording session was brutal, but I guess he's ok. He did not voice any complaint.
XD
GET OUT.
bruh
This was awful pun
Why
*Buh dum tss*
The fact that Toad's VA never lost her voice but Bowser's VA already did is just plain ironic in my opinion.
The fact that your pfp is a blue toad makes this more ironic.
@@coffee_wolfie2341 lol

@@coffee_wolfie2341 and his pose too

Since his throat was bleeding, I’m surprised he went straight home and not get some medical professional to help.
You're surprise a singer and voice actor knew that he didn't need that...? What do you imagine they'd do? You can't put a bandaid in your throat. And it was never said his throat was bleeding... He tasted blood, that doesn't mean his throat is actively bleeding. If it was then he'd spit blood.
Try to use your brain before saying stuff, it stops you from showing everyone that you're an idiot.
@@MuscarV2 dang no need to be rude
@@MuscarV2 he said "get professional help", not "put some bandages on his throat". Professional helpers would know what to do, so that's why he asked the reason he didn't go see the doctor
Also, no need to be rude
@@MuscarV2 *You're surprised
A bad day within a very busy schedule? The only thing I would of been thinking about is my bed. I don’t blame him.
I love how everyone has just decided that the powerup is called the Cat Bell even though that's not its official name.
🔔 ding
Wait you mean no one else calls it super bell I always say that lol
@@felixgray2638 really? Same here
It's understandable why they called the super bell, cat bell but even Mario Kart Tour called it a super bell.
I always call it the Super Bell
If Nintendo ever brings back Meowser again, I hope they just reuse the old voice clips, or give Kenny James a raise!
Like in super Mario maker 2 I’m sure they were re used 😄
They kinda did for the dlc on the switch. Not sure if they just reused or not
He doesn’t deserve a raise. He’s not that good
@@mrsavage4837 bruh
@@mrsavage4837 Bruh are you mad? He destroyed his voice
I love how Kenny James has a normal, almost kinda high voice, but he voices Bowser who has an incredibly deep voice
Imagine if mario lost his voice they would have to imitate it with synthesizers
Or just reuse old voice samples. It's not like Mario speaks full sentences very often, mainly just grunts and a few words like Yahoo or Whee-hee.
I think they have more than enough voice clips lol
@@Josuh Yeah, over 20 years worth of voice clips, and most sound very similar, so nobody would really notice if they reused any.
@@noelkannikkatt1545 or MOMMA MIA!!!!!!
@I care no
Kenny: *nearly lost his voice which almost ruined his live play*
Also Kenny: I love voicing Meowser
I like how Jen is worried about him possibly hurting himself.
You should see what happened to Jeremy Irons when he was singing Be Prepared as Scar. When he screamed YOU WON'T GET A SNIFF WITHOUT ME he threw out his voice completely and Jim Cummings filled in for the rest of it!
That came to my mind when I saw this honestly
@@Gemidori me too
How would I be able to find this?? I'm very interested
Didn’t know Robotnik could sing
Today I learned that Bowser is a musical actor! What a talented guy!🥰
Kenny James had my heart for that dedication,
This reminds me of what happened with My hero academia.
The 5th season was delayed after Bakugo’s Japanese VA had to have emergency throat surgery due to his character having to scream so much. His character is known for screaming and yelling.
This guy is also a singer. Luckily, the va recovered and is able to scream and sing again.
Varian! Hi!
Bowser is so powerful he can make his voice actor lose his voice. Poor Kenny.
-"after a 2 hour session, he could literally taste blood"
-metal band screamers "first time?"
nice one
Lol
Man, there's always something so sad to me about voice actors in particular going through hell. I guess because, obviously in something like a long running animated show or game series, you hear them so much, and you can sometimes notice their voice changing or deteriorating over long periods of time. And you kind of realize that the original performances you fell in love with can't really be replicated again, making them feel all the more special. I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but man, the things some people do for our entertainment, I really respect it.
Honestly, this has been blown out of proportion. Yes, I shredded my throat a bit.
But, I was singing in a theater production of Evita 3 days later. Great video, though. Cheers!
Kenny: *voices Bowser long enough to make his throat start bleeding*
Jen: Hold my mic.
But no, seriously. Shouting for hours? I don't watch RWBY, but I gotta give Jen major props.
the dedication that his throat was bleeding like my goodness. Props to him and happy birthday to him
I will admit, when I first saw this, I got worried that Kenny was forced to retire bc of an incident but I'm relieved that's not the case
I'm just really proud of him for all his hard work and wish him the best, and I hope that he takes better care of himself and his voice
If anyone is wondering, Jen Taylor is voicing Salem in RWBY, the main villain. And yes this character screams ans shouts a lot
I cannot believe this
Oh my god they casted Kenny James!
Those bastards!
I've lost my voice for months before. Started after a performance of 21st century cure at my musical theatre society, but whether or not the two are related, as that only kinda knocked it scratchy while the (pre-covid) infection and what terned out to be GERD that came in after that definitely took it out of commission.
I will definitely toot my own horn in the fact that I absolutely nailed that performance.
*turned
When you shred your vocal chords voicing Bowser, only to realize, oh shit, I have to sing in Evita in a couple of days.
I’m glad Kenny was able to recover. I just couldn’t imagine Bowser without him.
**Kenny's throat bleed**
Nintendo: Wow, this is fine! Let's send it to the game
I mean, they still had the voice lines. It would be even worse to make him bleed for nothing. They probably should have helped him heal though
@@HyLion ikr
I got to meet and talk with Kenny James this may while I was working at a convention. He’s a super kind guy and very fun to be around
Happy 58th birthday tomorrow, Kenny James!
When he's doing that voice impression in a silent room in front of other people, that hurt to watch.
You know, I feel like Meowser's voice kinda sounds like 64 Bowser
Makes sense, considering they're both cat voices.
No, I didn't know you felt like that. And I do not fucking care!!!!!
This could all been avoided if they recycled the cougar sound effect
I watched the whole thing just now and him bleeding on his throat wow 😳 that's horrible!!!
Hey! Im a voice actor student in Italy, and I can guarantee you, for many voice actors, the biggest achievements come from surpassing your own limits with your voice!
Little trivia: the voice actor for Chris Pratt is Andrea Mete, he is incredibly talented and voiced also Reiner Braun, but in the movie Mario will be voiced by Claudio Santamaria who gave the voice to Batman in The Dark Night Trilogy while Peach will be voiced by Valentina Favazza, one of our best voice actress ever
And I thought my voice hurt after about 15 minutes of voicing 50 Toads from Colour splash for a video...
Give Meowser some medicine (With the help of Dr. Mario or Penny Crygor) and he'll rest his voice.
2:01 is when he starts talking about the topic
Aww Kenny.. this guy is such a gem.
I would like to know if the other Mario voice actors can sing. I want a musical Mario game with crap load of singing.
I need this. Nintendo make it happen.
Pauline's VA can she sings jump up superstar in Mario Odyssey
I can only congratulate James for his determination and bravery in playing Bowser. Even more for the fact, that even with how he gruesomely tore his throat by playing Meowser, he went over with it and still goes on his quest with Bowser. I just hope he wasn't forced to repeat this slaughterhouse of his throat for the game's remake for Switch, famous of the Bowser's Fury mode. So, Happy Yesterday Birthday, mr. James! You're doing a great job as Bowser!
As of you Tom, another great video of yours, even if I got goosebumps of hearing how James bloodily hurt his throat. Since you're on your way with the evolutions of characters' voices, maybe the next episode of this series you could dedicate on changes in the voice of Ashley from WarioWare? This character also went through few voice actresses, so maybe it's worth giving a story? Keep it going!
Poor Kenny! But I'm glad his voice recovered. 🙂
Lyrics: It was 2005 when voice actor Kenny James heard back from Nintendo. He was to be the new voice actor of Bowser. This was his first professional voice acting role so he was pretty excited except Throughout his years of voicing the character (end of beginning lyrics)
"The cat bell is a power up that turns you into a cat. You can climb up walls, scratch your enemies, but interestingly, the most important thing here is that you can use it to gain impossibly large amounts of speed."
Don't you love being a caaaat with the Supuuurrr Bell?
I remember hearing this story at his Too Many Games panel, and I remember something he said at the end: That when Charles Martinet recorded lines for Cat Mario, Nintendo had him come back and re-record them, while Kenny's Meowser was great on the first try. So Kenny had the last laugh lol
I could feel the pain when he said 'blood'
Evita really hurt Kenny(Magaldi)'s voice. Did you know that there was the 1996 movie featuring Madonna?
These videos are so interesting I love them lol ❤️ keep up the amazing work
Kenny James is just awesome, man. You have to respect his dedication to King Bows.
Thomas' voice is the real MVP, I fall asleep to these videos frequently then rewatch them later to make sure I actually consume the knowledge
Honestly, same. He has a nice voice ☺️
3:31 Well, she warned him.
“Most voice actors have some horror stories”
Oh yeah, I can’t imagine the dragon ball guys...
Love how informative these videos always are!
Cat bowser is kind of cool tho, ngl.
I never knew the voice actor of Salem Was Peach's voice actor.
Bro this channel is underrated I’ve been watching ur videos everyday now
I met Kenny James a few years back at Too Many Games. Super sweet guy. Clearly loved what he did
Love your videos
I love them more than you do
Love these videos good to see one early
4:32 You know that it gets serious when you hear Ace Attorney music.
He’s talented :)
The fact that meowser’s voice made him bleed makes me a little more intimidated by meowser
I remember a story of a voice actor, i dont remember his name but he was in anthony padilla's video about VAs, the voice actor voices red magnus in disgaea 5, during the session he bled out of his mouth.
Kaiji Tang?
Or the Japanese voice?
When Kaiji Tang voice Red Magnus in Disgaea 5, he actually not only bled from his throat, but coughed up blood due to yelling for hours. He couldn't speak for 2 weeks...
I got this from Anthony Padilla's interview.
i hate you
Why hate him
Your videos are amazing... Keep it up.
I was just watching some of your videos :D then you upload, that's timing
Your one of the only you tubers I don’t skip for the whole video on
Now I'm gonna picture Meowser coughing blood every time he roars
I lost my voice once. Well not completely I could still barely whisper! Thankfully..
Oh god I'm glad it didn't get any worse. And I'm glad he's ok now.
Thanks for put subtitles ^^
Hey Thomas, I love your videos and I always watch them. Good work, as always and have a good day friend!
I was sick with a bad throat on top of that, but I was destroying my voice that entire day. From screaming into a microphone way to loudly and gravelly, to wheezing too hard for my own good; two days after that, my vocal cords were so messed up that I couldn’t even speak properly. And all of that was very recent.
Thomas always talk about insane stuff!
*talks
This sorta reminds me of what the voice actor for the werehog had to go through in sonic unleashed.
AAAARRRGGGHHH!!!
bowser looks like a lion kinda when he has the cat bell
Imagine what happened when he had to voice bowser’s fury
So Kenny James basically make animal noises for a living... I love it.
When Bowers a better father then most dad's today let that sink in
yay a new upload!
I can kinda relate to Kenny here. I used to volunteer at a haunted house, and one year I decided my character needed a deep growling voice. So I did one for hours and was absolutely tasting blood by the end of the night. But instead of learning my lesson I did it all again the next day too 😭 Long story short I permanently damaged my vocal chords. My voice is noticeably deeper now than it was before. That being said I kept on volunteering there for years and doing the voice became my signature thing, and it never bothered me again 😊
here's an interesting one: how about a video about the mii voices, like in mk wii, ssbu, and others i didnt mention
The miis in Tomodachi Life sound properly weird...
What a total chad
He had his throat bleeding but just said “voice sounded good tho, that’s a win in my book”
Boi you just earned a new sub
voice actors should get more credit for the things they do
Wow I love your videos!
i was literally just binging ur other voice vids while u post this uwu whats good brotha
kenny seems so wholesome tho
My question is, how would you make a "Meowser" voice that can fit really well with the character?
Your vids are very interesting to me! 💙💜
My blood LITERALLY ran cold when you got to the point where he coughed up blood
Everyone is always putting the spotlight on Charles (not a bad thing), but we seriously need to give a shit ton of credit to Kenny for all the amazing things he did. He turned a goofy sounding character into one of the most badass in gaming history. Talk about a glowup.
Kratos brazillian voice actor had the same problem when he was dubbing ascension
Any video on that?
I actually had a convention somewhat recently, and Kenny was actually there~!
I don't know why but I'm so addicted to this series. Good job!
The human larynx is delicate but surprisingly resilient. Vocalists often injure themselves in performance or practice (due to bad technique or pushing the limits of human voice). I’ve rehearsed with poor technique and lost my voice. Also, the singing voice tends to heal rather slowly, unfortunately. If you get sick and lose your voice, it may take several weeks to get it back to normal.
And throat numbing spray isn't always the answer either in fact sometimes that's how you end up tasting blood
Singers: This is a pain in the throat.
Main Voice Casts: You too?
Dubber: We three!
Speakers: Relatable.
