    I get the impression that Frank Welker is the kind of guy you want to have show up at your barbecue picnic. Even if he didn't do a single of his voice characters!

      Imagine Fred at your picnic away from traps.

    I love how Megatron sounded like he had an english accent, like an old , strained Christopher Lee, he said he wanted pain when he used Megatron's voice, and it worked, to this day i have never heard anyone do a voice like that, to me he will always be the best among many giants, the work he did with Chris Latta was legendary

      DISCLAIMER: I'M NOT HIM
      Putting it simply, he's a legend, he's a Union actor ($$$), and I don't think he likes anime. At least not to the point of voicing in it.
      I'm also sure he's seen what's been happening to Funimation (bad) and Viz (actors on Strike). He doesn't tolerate any drama in his studios, or screwy pay.

    Would love to find out the following:
    1) How he came up with the voices of Mirage from The Transformers and Elminster from Baldur's Gate.
    2) Speaking of Baldur's Gate, if he was actually following a script for Xzar or if he was allowed to improv any of that.
    3) How he came up with the voice for Odin from the recent Marvel cartoons and how he feels voicing a fictional version of a real god.

Frank Welker and I talked, to each other. Catie and Sonny talked to each other, and it was 4 people talking moment.
