- Melvin Jerome "Mel" Blanc (May 30, 1908 -- July 10, 1989) was an American voice actor and comedian. Although he began his nearly 60 YEARS long career performing in radio commercials, Blanc is best remembered for his work with Warner Bros. during the "Golden Age of American animation" as the voice of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety Bird, Sylvester the Cat, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, Marvin the Martian, Pepé Le Pew, Speedy Gonzales, the Tasmanian Devil, and many of the other characters from the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies theatrical cartoons. He later worked for Hanna-Barbera's television cartoons, most notably as the voice of Barney Rubble in The Flintstones and Mr. Spacely in The Jetsons. Having earned the nickname "The Man of a Thousand Voices," Blanc is regarded as one of the most influential people in the voice-acting industry.
At the time of his death, it was estimated that 20 million people heard his voice every day.
This is why I hope Disney and Pixar go back to using random unknowns who are voice actors first for their movies. I don't get the point of using famous actors in their films if they're just doing their own voice. Voice acting is an entirely different school.
Boy are you right. Just Kathy some actor because he play the cute squishy blind in another film and expecting him to be talented as a voice actor fruition ridiculous.
I imagine a voice actor is cheaper than a celebrity voice actor as well
It's done for marketing reasons. Easier to promote a know actress like Mandy Moore in tangled than some unknown but great voice actor. Case in point would be Batman and the Joker. The best batman voice has been been by Kevin Conroy a voice actor and Joker has been Mark Hamil who's mostly known for star wars.
@@b16da93 Mark Hamil is most known for starwars because everyone in starwars is mostly known for it, but he's also an incredibly prolific voice actor
the only reason celeb voice acting became a thing was because robin williams was an amazing genie in aladdin and the executives thought the box office was because of his fame (turns out it was because robin williams was just a really bloody good voice actor)
The difficulties of Bugs imitating Daffy and vice versa. I never thought of that. Mel Blanc truly was or is a genius.
Thanks to filming recording, was and is are both correct
He truly was ahead of his time.
He isnt a genius, nor coming up with the idea would be considered ingenious.
He's just very talented
@@sublimeade He is the genius
@@daksans6764 you keep using that word.
I do not think it means what you think it means
Back in the early 60s I met “The Man of a Thousand Voices” himself. My family were at a corporate childrens' Xmas party at Casa Loma in Toronto. Every ballroom, hallway and stairwell of this real live castle was filled with musicians, clowns, magicians and jugglers...and a quietly-smiling, unassuming man in a neat dark suit and a tiny moustache. He complimented my little sister, literally a "babe in arms", telling her "Ohhhh! What a tweet widdle girl you are!" She was unimpressed and a little shy but I was thunderstruck as he turned to me and offered his hand burbling (and slobbering) "And what's YOUR name young fella!" Tweety and Sylvester... in the flesh! My Mom says my mouth did not close for a whole week after!
At what point did Chris Hanson show up and ask him to take a seat?
I've only been to Casa Loma once as a child, but the memories of that place are still strong. I'm imagining what it must have looked fully decked out for a Chrismas party; Must have looked magical!
@@Sgt_Glory I’ve been there a few times over the years but one of the most memorable was during the making of the Lord of The Rings movies. The production designers had a touring exhibit of props and costumes from the first movie. Various parts of the castle were used to full effect: underground tunnels led to displays of Elvish gear, they recreated Frodo’s study (complete with Sting hanging over the mantelpiece and The One Ring in a glass bell jar), and a recreation of Saruman’s throne room in the topmost tower. Magical indeed!
@@jak3w lessee now: weak, inappropriate…a-a-a-aaaand blocked!
Oh more youtube lies for likes lol i met him too lol ....
Mel Blanc will always be THE Man of a Thousand Voices. Though they're have been quite a lot of other VAs with amazing range both during his time (i.e. Daws Butler, Don Messick, Frank Welker,) and after (i.e. Jim Cummings, Rob Paulsen, Tom Kenny), I'm pretty sure he was the first to be able to do so many. Plus, he was the first voice actor to receive on-screen credit for his work. Just about every VA nowadays should owe it to him for establishing that trend.
Don't forget Peter Cullen as well who like Mel Blanc in addition to voicing many ironic-characters can do animals, monsters, and sound effects are well.
I'm not a voice actor and I can appreciate how difficult it is.
It hurts my head trying to understand how he did that
+1 only a extraordinary genius with years of practise can do it...
I also love the bit of characterization that Bugs is better at impersonation than Daffy.
I actually laughed out loud and hard at the Bugs Bunny v Daffy crossover impressions. For some reason I always enjoy the condescending impression bit.
Elmer Fudd has been hunting Bugs Bunny for years with a gun that can't even kill at point blank range.
To be fair, that’s just the logic of toon force for ya and bugs is arguably to most powerful toon force user in existence.
@@freddymcshreddy6586 I think Road Runner is more powerful, I can remember Bugs having a couple of Ls', I've never seen RR lose
@@mrhellvictor Popeye is likely even more powerful than either. He has even left his comic strip before and beat the shit out of his animator.
@@crazycaucasian9342 no doubt, Popeye destroys Goku
I can't even think of how I'd want to word what I want to say with this, I never even thought of how difficult it would be to do that... Truly a marvelous man. Hope Mel's resting in peace, cause man did he earn it.
Hank is such a treasure. He does such a terrific job on the Simpsons, but I love his role in Mystery Men.
0:45 I actually just watched an episode of the SImpsons where Hank Azaria voiced Apu doing an American accent, not imitating another character per se but i still found it pretty impressive
I love his hesitation in admitting they couldn't do it. Mel's genius will be making people laugh well after we're gone
This is why no one can do it like Mel Blanc. He is the best. One of a kind.
I think it's telling that it takes a bunch of voice actors now to do all the voices and characters Mel Blanc used to do by himself.
And none of them sound anywhere close to the original voices.
This man carried the entire cast on his back, and no doubt because of him brought these characters to legendary status - where their names are known in nearly every American household and the world over. I can’t think of any other voice actor whose left such a legacy
You know June foray was saying that joe alaskeu, burson Bergman, west and others couldn't fill blanc's shoes
he didn't mention that at the end of the short both bugs and daffy do an elmer fudd imitation, and elmer wasn't even one of mel blanc's characters!
I think the point that Hank was trying to make that when BOTH characters are yours, it's extremely difficult.
Interestingly enough, Blanc *did* fill in for Arthur Q. Ryan (Elmer Fudd's regular VA) in several shorts, mainly for parts that Ryan had trouble getting right. The most notable case of this is in "What's Opera, Doc?": when Elmer summons typhoons, earthquakes, hurricanes, and smog, most of the accompanying lines are done by Ryan, but the final shout of "SMOG" is Blanc.
That’s honestly probably easier. If you can do an impression of someone else’s character it’s never going to be perfect so when one of your own characters, who you naturally can do perfectly, imitates someone else’s character it’s going to lean towards your own character which makes it sound like a realistic attempted impression and distinct from if the other person was doing their character impersonating yours.
What do you mean,ELDER FUDD wasn't one of Mels voices?ARE YOU INSANE
@@frednusbaum3368It's true. His voice during the Golden Age was Arthur Q. Bryan.
I still laugh like a 5 year old when I watch these old school Loony Toons.
Placebo *Tunes, bro. Looney Tunes. Weird, innit?
damn
Placebo I know, right? Blew my mind.
Placebo it's "Looney Tunes". Like "Merrie Melodies".
Mandela effect. It's fine if he calls it Looney Toons
This is one of the main reasons the lead actress of orphan black impressed me. Her characters imitating one of the other characters.
He also did with Bugs and Elmer Fudd... I'm watching it now it's awesome
Mike Judge pulled this off during the "Busy watching TV" segment in Beavis & Butt-Head. He had Butt-Head pretend to be Beavis to their boss over the phone.
That’s cool to hear insight from another highly accomplished actor/VA in Hank Azaria on how impressive Mel Blanc’s voice work was. Amazing how he could mix voices like that, wouldn’t have known about it otherwise.
Mel Blanc was the all time greatest various comedic voices of all time and It's been 25 years since Mel passed away 25 years ago. He was one of the all time best funniest various voices on TV, music and on radio. His legendary various voices on TV, music and radio are timeless for all ages. His legacy on TV, music and radio will continue to live on forever for several generations to come.
bro you must've been good at meeting word limits
25 years since 25 years ago... as opposed to 15 years since 25 years ago?
Lol...If Donald Trump made a RUclips comment, I imagine it sound like this.
Cole Carter For what it's worth, that honestly might be the hardest I've ever laughed at a comment in my life.
Mr. Lonnie Booker so...50 years?
Hank is also great, but Mel was a genius..
+brian lucore Frank Welker is even better
Caleb Mayfield - Yeah, okay buddy.
+JJ SS Look at his voice credits list.Its maniacally Long
Shit Hank is a genius. Mel Blank is a God lol
Hank is a genius, and so is Welker. Both may be top 5 all-time. June Foray gets the silver. Mel Blanc, however, is untouchable as the absolute greatest.
Hank Azaria is great, but there’s Mel Blanc and there’s everyone else.
A legend paying his respects to the legend
You have to born with the vocal cords and brains for this kind of talent.
What Genius!
Amazing, mel blanc was my childhood hero xxx
he also did the maxwell- jack benny's Car-and barney rubble and countless other voices- a true genius.
He waa, is, and will always be the best of his art. A true legend and pioneer.
Blanc was a force of nature with his voice. The actual spirit of all cartoondom.
I love the brilliance
Mike Judge was able to pull this off once, when he had Hank Hill do Boomhauer and Boomhauer did Hank. It was in the episode A Fire Fighting We Will Go
To me,Mel Blanc is the KING of voice actors. Others like Frank Welker,Nancy Cartwright,etc. do more voices,but Mel Blanc is my all-time fave!
I just really enjoyed the episodes and never thought about it before, but I guess that was the kind of the point.
Highest respect for that man
34 years later and he is still a legend and paved the way. I wish we had talent like this still around. Rest In Peace Mel Blanc ❤
I marvel at Mel Blanc. Voice actor, singer, musician... Wow! As one of many kids who grew up watching the Looney Tunes, or any of the Hanna Barbera shows he did... Amazing talent! RIP, Mel.....
It's sad he didn't hang on a little longer for the simpsons that year he would have been a smash RIP Mel" the 5000 voice man" Blanc
Mel Blanc was the man!!!!
R.I.P
Tatiana Maslany did it, live action, in Orphan Black; not only doing the voices but also mannerisms. She's crazy talented.
Not even close.
He was also Twiki from Buck Rodgers
Greg The Bunny did this as well in an amazing Freaky Friday episode in which Greg the Bunny & Warren The Ape switch bodies. Dan Milano voices both characters and pulls it off beautifully.
Mel Blanc was one of the highest levels of genius in any field in human history, no question , no one will ever even come close to what he could do . I challenge anyone to even create 3 different voices , and you cant just make a funny voice . Mel Blanc was the right guy in the right place at exactly the right time , lightening in a bottle
The greatest voice actor of all time, no doubt
Mel Blanc was truly a treasure and actors such as Jeff Bergman, Joe Alaskey, Billy West, Jeff Bennett, Fred Tatasciore, Maurice Lamarche, Dee Bradley Baker, Jim Cummings, Bob Bergen, Fred Armisen, Bill Farmer, Greg Burson, Gabriel Iglesias, and Eric Bauza have done a great job in keeping his spirit alive.
@@snakeeyes2551
And Tom Kenny.
@@TPDManiacXC626 Oh yeah, how could I forget my favorite male voice actor Tom Kenny.
In one episode Daffy was Bugs, Bugs was Daffy, and at the end both Bugs and Daffy were Elmer Fudd. That acting talent just ain't normal.
Mel blanc. Man, they could show a whole season of looney tunes and only be needing him to do all the voice acting and background sounds 😂😂
Genius indeed. What a Legacy.😀
Hank is a decent voice actor and his tribute is spot on here, but next to Mel Blanc he will always be an amateur. What made Mel an absolute Legend was not just his unparalleled talent, but that he was 100% unapologetic for his voice roles no matter how much they may have offended someone at one time or another. It was about laughs. Yes someone or some thing is almost always at the expense of that laugh. That is what the art of comedy is all about. Mel dared to "go there" and kept doing it, and loved it till the very end.
This guys is my hero
R.I.P Apu
Hes my hero grin childhood and now sad he isn't around anymore:( real talent
Wow, I wish I was like Mel blanc
Another one that comes to mind is there is a scene in House where he's a British actor with an American accent imitating a British accent.
Thank YOU COME AGAIN!
Love MOE & APU 😁👍🏻
Mel BLANC the true Genius of character cartoon voices 😎😜
wow Mel Blanc was a genius
Henry Albert Azaria (Queens, Nueva York, 25 de abril de 1964) es un actor de cine y televisión, director, comediante y actor de voz estadounidense. Es reconocido por su carrera como actor de voz en la serie animada Los Simpson. Personifica a Moe Szyslak, Chief Wiggum, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Jeff Albertson y numerosos personajes más.
60 AÑOS.
great work indeed.
well, to be fair, his Daffy voice had it's pitch artificially raised. I'm sure if you heard it at normal pitch, it'd sound closer to Bugs.
and Anthony Birch did it in Dungeons and Daddies perfectly
I remember watching that scene!
Here from SaveDataTeam after Wes talked about this clip on their Ace Attorney playthorugh
Rip Mel Blanc, the man of 1.000 voices (1908-1989)
I thought hank azaria was david copperfield when I saw the thumbnail...
You can see Mel on re-runs of the Jack Benny Show (some episodes)
Pure talent.
Great guy r.i.p
Mel Blanc is a true talent, but so is Hank Azaria in all his modesty.
They actually sound the same tho lol 😂
Luckily for daffy guns are useless.
No one gives a fuck about that here
it's thoughts and prayers that kill.
kill the thots
thots and players
Anyone know where I can watch this in its entirety?
Thank you hank
Classic cartoon too.
What helps is that Daffy's voice is pitched up, and Bugs's voice isn't.
I want Jeff Hays to do movie and TV voice acting. Maybe he does... but I want it to be more prevalent so I notice lol
But alot of simpsons characters have imitated other characters before.
Most frequent is marge being imitated.
The one and only legend
My favorite was him doing a drunk bull
Mel Blanc all time voice
That Daffy impersonating Bugs sounds perfect but Bugs just sounds like Daffy to me. Edit: Wait no, I can hear Bugs in Bugs now lol
The difference is Looney Tunes didn't keep making episodes well, well past its prime
Mel Blank on the Letterman show said he did 400 voices.
Barney Rubble is included in the screen above.
amaazing just amazing
"what's up doc?"
A Canadian rock star, who voices two characters on My Little Pony did this recently as well. Rainbow Dash, voicing a mock-Applejack voice. That still blows my mind.
Who?
Globez123 Ashleigh Ball is her name.
Thanks lionroo
But Mel did... well, she would have to *also* do Applejack doing a Rainbox Dash voice. And both of that in the same scene.
I can do this for TV Characters, where do I put in my application? I'm clearly the reincarnation of Mel Blanc /s
Holy shhhhit
the ending XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
is this documentary?
what is this from?
Pretty soon some voice AI diffusion model will be able to let you sample a bunch of different voices like we do currently with stable diffusion / dalle 2.
Phil Hendrie does a recurring bit called "The Margaret Grey Players" where his characters imitate each other. The amazing thing is that it's improvised on the fly! Brilliant stuff! ruclips.net/video/MjBE3Jkit20/видео.html
Don't let this distract you from the the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy
scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High
School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson
High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds
against his old nemesis, Bubba "Spare Tire" Dixon.
go Al
Don't let this distract you from the fact that they fuck you at the drive-thru! Okay?! They fuck you at the drive-thru! They know you're gonna be miles away before you find out you got fucked! Okay? They know you're not gonna turn around and go back. So they don't care. Who gets fucked? Oh, Leo Getz! Okay, sure! I don't give a fuck! I'm not eatin' this tuna! Okay?!
don't let that distract you from the time in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell plummeting sixteen feet through an announcer's table
Don't let this distract you from the fact that you lack originality.
@@Steve-fe4lq says the man who had a revelation 2 years later.
What’s with the dislikes?
AY HANK
less than 1 character per cartoon?
less voices than shows
You are a rabbit and I am a genius
