Housepets!

After watching a lot of Soul Eater, I have decided that Grape would be great being played by Brittney Karbowski with a Black*Star like voice.

if there's ever a pig character i could totally do that

.

.

.

the joke is that i listen to a lot of grindcore and technical death metal

Eh, most of the VAs I know of are seiyuu (Japanese music, animation, and CD-drama-based acting associations).

I watch mostly American cartoons with some anime on the side and I STILL can't decide which voice actors to use for each character. >_<

The guy with the blue hair here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfBUQPfuUEk
That's the voice I imagine Grape with.

Thought of some more.

King - Brian d'Arcy James (Nick Bottom, Sidney, Frederick Barrett)

Sasha - Kristin Chenoweth (Glinda, Sally Brown, Gabi)

Elaine - Susan Egan (Belle, Megara, Rose Quartz)

"Four Finger Discount" Jack - Vic Mignogna

Keene - Chuck Huber (Android 17, Dr. Stein, Austria)

Truck - Josh Gad (Elder Cunningham, Olaf)

I can see Keene being Android 17 (who was my favorite android back then by the way), but I still think that Max should sound like Edward Elric. XP

Worked through my voice list again, made some adjustments.

Peanut =Will Friedle
Grape = Brittney Karbowski
Bino = Jason Marsden
Fido = Kyle Herbert
Max = Mitchel Musso
Tarot= Mindy Cohn
Sabrina = Melissa Joan Hart
Fox = Dante Basco
King = Scott Menville
Bailey = Laura Bailey(LOLZ)
Joey = Y-uri Lowenthall
Sasha = Andrea Libman
Ralph = Sean Schemmel
Kevin = Travis Willingham
Tiger = Josh Peck
Zack = Kristian Ayre
Keene = Chuck Huber
Pete = Nick Bakay
Dragon = Jennifer Hale
Kitsune = Johnny Young Bosch
Bahamut = Jeffrey Combs
Res = Christopher Corey Smith

I only recognize a select few of those voices and the Black Ranger.

Seriously? You put Sabrina the Teenage Witch as Sabrina the Dog Loving Cat?

Amazee Dayzee wrote:Seriously? You put Sabrina the Teenage Witch as Sabrina the Dog Loving Cat?

Hey, she's a voice actress, I couldn't help it,

Thought of a few more.

Grape - Bernadette Peters

Tarot - Lara Jill Miller (Kari Kamiya, Juniper Lee, Scheris Adjani)

Sabrina - Cristina Vee (Noel Vermillion, Shantae, Homura Akemi)

Fido - Matthew Mercer (Leon S. Kennedy, Levi, Chrom)

Bino - Greg Ayres (Kaoru Hitachiin, Tomoki Sakurai, Yukio "Koyuki" Tanaka)

Joey - Josh Grelle (Armin Arlert, Kuranosuke Koibuchi, Lithuania)

Ralph - Troy Baker

Rock/Terrence - Mike McFarland (Master Roshi, Jean Havoc, Estonia)

James arnold taylor or max casella or a mix between the two for king... Thats how i read his dialogue

Thought of a few more.

Max - Joel McDonald (Meow, Zeref, Poland)

Marvin - either Sam Riegel (Phoenix Wright, Teddie, Mephisto Pheles) or Austin Tindle (Karma Akabane, Ken Kaneki, Marco Bodt)

Tiger - Clifford Chapin (Conny Springer, Hideyoshi Nagachika, Kaito Yashio)

Duchess - Maggie Flecknoe (Saya Takagi, Rachel Benning, Shiori Misaka)

Tom Hiddleston as Pete

Honestly, I've often imagined Peanut being voiced by Antony Del Rio in the way he voices Pit in Kid Icarus: Uprising and Super Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoRpgzgRQMI).
Probably because although I don't see him as being a ten-year-old or something, I've always seen him as being in his early teens like 13-14
As for King, I can imagine either Chris Pratt or Patton Oswalt voicing him.

This also reminds me... when I first read the comic, I misread Grape's name name as 'Gramps' and so imagined her with Alex Hirsch's voice for Stan Pines in Gravity Falls

Edit: Made it clear who 'her' even is

I was JUST looking into del Rio as a voice for another webcomic, xD
And yeah, Peanut is about 14-16(he's not quite 5, and in HP! one year is 3.5 years for an animal), so you aren't far off.

I assume by "her" you mean... Grape?

SuperStar wrote: I assume by "her" you mean... Grape?

Yeah, Grape. Probably should've mentioned that

Here's a few more ideas.

Maxwell - Jason Marsden (Max Goof, Haku, Kovu)

Fox - Erik Kimerer (Alibaba Saluja, Ryuji Takasu, Haruyuki Arita)

Mungo/Satau - Christopher Sabat

Ptah - Vic Mignogna

Breel - Clint Bickham (Finland, Renji Asou, Yoshifumi Aoki)

Rufus - Jim Cummings

Kevan Brighting playing everyone, by way of audio-book style narration.

Thids is what I got so far:

Peanut: Jack McBrayer (Wander from Wander Over Yonder)
Grape: Tara Strong or Grey Delisle
Bino: Danny Cooksey (Montana Max and Jack Spicer's voice actor)
Joey: Pamela Adlon
Sasha: Hynden Walch (Starfire from Teen Titans)
King: Sean Astin (Chester from Bunnicula, Kodi from Balto 3)
Fox: Kevin Michael Richardson (Tech E Coyote voice)
Maxwell: Jason Marsden (For some reason, he plays a lot of male cat characters)
Zach: Rob Paulsen (PJ from Goof Troop)
Tiger: Justin Roiland (Lemongrab and Blendin Blandin's voice actor) or William Salyers (Rigby from Regular Show)
Marvin: Gregg Berger
Pete: Tim Curry?

i would have gone for Paul Dobson as Pete.
while a good chunk of his repertoire are villans, he also played Matrix on Reboot, and other similar characters. He has a nack for characters that alternate between manipulative, amiable, and threatening.

Forget Kevan Brighting. Two words: Gilbert Gottfried.

that sugestion was meant as a joke; one of KB's better known roles is the narrator from the Stanley Parable.

I think Sean Schemmel (the voice of Goku) would be a great actor for Mungo.

How about Eddie Deezen voicing Lester? He's basically a typecast for a nerd-jerk. Also, Josh Gad would make a really adorable Dallas (originally, I thought Stephen Furst would make a great Dallas but he has since passed away). Also, now that I think about it, EG Daily would make an even better Joey than Pamela Adlon if she used her Bagheera from Jungle Cubs voice on him.

How about Rick Moranis voicing Res? I can picture Res with a Canadian accent like Rutt from Brother Bear and Rick Moranis also played the equally nerdy and awkward Seymour in Little Shop Of Horrors.

How about Justin Briner (the voice of Izuku Midoriya in My Hero Academia) voicing Peanut and Ben Plat (played Evan Hansen in Dear Evan Hansen) voicing Fox?

The ones I can put a name to ...

Grape: Raspy-voiced Lisa Simpson.
Max: Basically Milhouse, but with a slight spanish accent.
Fido: Nate Richert (Harvey in Sabrina the Teenage Witch).
Sabrina: Melissa Joan Hart (Sabrina in same).
Tarot: Not quite Beth Broderick (aunt Zelda in same), but similar.
Spo: Like Don Adams (Max in Get Smart; voiced Inspector Gadget), but almost no bass.
Sasha: Dee Dee from Dexter's Laboratory.
King: commoner3 from Thief: Deadly Shadows.
Daisy: commoner4 from Thief: Deadly Shadows (it's pretty close to Tarot's).
Res: Robert Sean Leonard (Dr. James in House).

While I can honestly say that I've never actually read the comic with certain voices in mind (other than the voices in MY mind), I can say that, if you think one voice actor could/should do several different characters, you should understand that they need to be able to do multiple voices. If you do different characters using the same voice, the viewers will know. Nothing bothers me more than to watch an animated show and hear the same actor do several different characters and KNOW it's the same voice actor. When I was a stage actor, one of the reasons I got cast in so many different plays was because I could do different voices and accents. So, when you think about who could do more than one character, think about that.

John De Lancie as Pete - but he uses his Alarak voice for the black speech bubbles.

Morgan Freeman as Bahamut, we can all agree on that. But I generally don't do voices for the characters, they all have a certain voice in my head, but I can't explain the voices in depth.

Same here, drivenjax, but that was long ago and far away in my case. But my theatre experiences served me well in walks of life....

Is it bad that I kinda picture Res sounding like the YouTuber MasakoX? Not the voices he does for characters, the way he sounds when he's doing his analysis & What If videos.

GameCobra wrote:John De Lancie as Pete - but he uses his Alarak voice for the black speech bubbles.

Hm. Interesting choice. Don't view Pete as having a deep voice as his regular, but definitely for the black bubble text.

It's hard to go wrong with Morgan Freeman. I mean, he's played God before.

British accent and all? Good thought, though.

If Picard can be the most british frenchman in the history of space, and get away with it, housepets can have a few mismatched accents.

Peanut- Tara strong (Timmy Turner)
Grape- Minnie Driver (Jane in Tarzan)
Fox- David Duchovny (The X-Files)
Sabrina- Radha Mitchell (Silent Hill)
Mungo- Matt Hill
King- Sam Neill
Fido- Chris Hemsworth
Bino- Chris Pratt
Joey- Chris Pine
Sasha- Ellen DeGeneres
Bailey- Milla Jovovich
Rufus- Keith David
Max- Jeff Goldblum
That's all I'm willing to name for now... Lol

Ok this thread convinced me to make an account, because I have some really weird casting choices I'd like to share.

In no particular order

Peanut - A slightly higher pitched Funimation Goku

Kitsune - James Woods 100%

Bino - Bobcat Goldthwait. Tried to conjure up the most annoying voice in the world, and ended up stuck with that.

Pete - The alien with the deep voice from the beginning of episode 22 of the 2003 clone wars cartoon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxLB6L90aCQ

Tarot/Dragon(Before I realized they had separate souls) Millie from the english dub of Trigun

Grape - Changes ALL THE TIME! But fore some reason she gets stuck as the giril who does the "Jaiden Animations" videos on youtube a lot.

Mungo - The guy who plays Colossus in Deadpool

Cory - William Shatner

Karishad - TeamFourStar Goku


As you can imagine, Housepets in quite the strange mishmash of insanity in my head.

Terrance "TC" Carson, who is also the original voice of Kratos

Lia Sargent in the original anime, Trina Nishimura in the movie they did later.

MasakoX

I only knew the first one off the top of my head but I;m a big enough VO nerd that I wanted to look up all the ones you didn't actually name.
