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.
He’s going to do Kamek justice, I know it. This is why voice actors deserve far more recognition and credit than they get. Unless they’re already established celebrities/actors, they tend to get overlooked.
Oh yeah! Kevin's is unique in that his Joker is the first version I think to actually FIGHT the Dark Knight instead of just playing his usual mind games with him and getting tossed around by him.
Love this guy’s voice: his deep yet smooth, powerful & great vocal ranges, This guy is on par Tara Strong, Jennifer Hale, Fred Tatasciore, John DiMaggio, Keith David, Dee Bradley Baker & (any others I missed): skilled voice actors who are in such high demand that you would find them in almost any major animated TV series, game etc
Man he was so easy to distinguish I remember as a kid when I'd hear his voice in different cartoons I'd be all "It's that guy! It's that guy!" I was bad with names lol.
Tartarus: "...You've drawn quite a crowd.." (>:) ) Thel Vadame: "...If they Came to hear me BEG, they will be Disappointed.. (>:0) " Tartarus: "..ARE yoU suRe (>:D) !?!? ..."
So you took the person who's probably best suited for Bowser and you make him Kamek. This movie is going be a fun trainwreck and I can't wait to watch it
His voice as the Shredder makes the villain the most intimidating, especially when Shredder at many times openly expresses his lack of humanity and shows how much of a monster he really is, especially when he becomes Super Shredder.
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.
I've been sleeping on Kevin. I already knew he did amazing deep voices, but I have no idea he had so much range, both in pitch and delivery. Holy crap.
I had NO IDEA this man voiced SO MANY of my FAVORITE cartoons! He is AMAZING!! THANK YOU, MICHAEL! You have been a VERY IMPORTANT person throughout my childhood AND adulthood! 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!!
Idk why so many people want Danny DeVito to voice Detective Pikachu. Apparently a petition for it was sent to DeVito and his response was something along the lines of "What's a Pikachu?" He apparently doesn't know what Pokemon is, or so I've heard.
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.
The best voices of Kevin Michael Richardson: Gantu in "lilo and stitch", Antauri in "Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper force Go!", Schnitzel in "Chowder", and Skullker in "Danny Phantom"! I had the best ass childhood man!! Memories 🙌💞
5:03 - 5:15 That's The Bast One I Ever Heard [edited on 10/28/2020] I'll Hire Kevin Michael Richardson as Trigon for My 2nd, 3rd & 4th DCEU Teen Titans Movies But Man How Time Flies
Which of Kevin Michael Richardson's Voice over role(s) did you enjoy the most? - Principal Lewis 100% My mind is blown that he is Demongo, mammoth and The guardian, trigon, guardian of cave, shredder - it is a shame that we didnt get to see more after S4 - Jack never ended up using that portal
i thought the voice himself as double T, kevin would make a great radio jock! I thought him and another fav of mine, Cree Summer would make great voices for radio imaging and/or jocks themselves!
so that means he's some how not the voice of that one character from a certain coco puffs commercial that was on nick.com that looked like it would be awesome if had a series? or did they just forget that character he voiced or something?
I didn’t recognize who this guy was for the Super Mario Movie cast reveal, but I will say he did look like a kind of guy who’d be a good Kamek. Suppose we’ll just have to wait and see
I remember playing Baldur's Gate I and II (and Icewind Dale) back in the day and thinking, "This guy has a really cool voice". Now whenever I hear his voice I think of those games.
Every time I comeback to this video I'm reminded that I keep getting reminded that Kevin Michael Richardson is really good at sounding like Keith David. Like Tombstone sounds nearly identical to how Keith David sounds.
Happy Birthday Kevin Michael Richardson. Love American Dad, Halo 2 and Star Wars The Clone Wars. May the Peace be with u. From Harlingen Texas. October 25, 1965 October 25, 2020 through October 25, 3020
I love this man's voice, he has a good range of deep and intimidating voices, along with silly and hilarious voices.
SpongicX Agree 😏👌
Yes He Does:)
Perfect for sans
Cool deep voice.
@@boonekeller5275 *no*
The whitest character on the Cleveland show is played by a black man 👏🏽

and yet people are up in arms on Apu been voiced by a white guy
@Royflurbosllc really?!? I had no idea 😂
The irony is delicious
james739123 you know what they say, it’s only offensive when a white guy does it 🤣🤣
Idk what’s more impressive, his deeper gravelly voices or his higher voices.
And I agree, he has the Blackest voice ever.
Kevin Michael Richardson
James Earl Jones
Tony Todd
Keith David
No such thing as a black voice. Compare his voice to Mike Tyson's voice.
Barry white voice
@@H.K.5 Stereotypes exist for a reason, and exceptions do not invalidate the stereotype
Every deep voiced black guy, deep gravelly white guy and monster of our childhood was all this guy all along
Never thought a guy could have a voice so low and a voice so high at the same time.
Especially for Demongo, which really surprised me.
Its so weird and yet cool at the same time
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! ✊✌

Ouch
That's so sad, you poor bastard.
@@ajantsmith6139 so mean and cruel to someone 😞
@@dragonking1264 huh? I'm consoling him
I like how he can do low, high, somewhere in the middle and some completely different.
He's a true voice actor.
He's not just able to do one voice in different ways.
I know, it makes me mad when some people say he just does the same voice over and over again 😒. This shows he has incredible range.👍
Bryan Ferratt Yes he's black Mark Hamill for crying out loud!

His voice is so perfect that the voices in the Seth Macfarlane shows are more than enough
Personally, Kevin's Joker from "The Batman" is HIGHLY underrated.
velociraptor4you agreed I really liked joker and that series in general
Glad to hear that. :)
velociraptor4you agreed
velociraptor4you AGREED.
I love his version of Joker. It's tied with Mark Hamill's as my favorite!
Oh yeah! Kevin's is unique in that his Joker is the first version I think to actually FIGHT the Dark Knight instead of just playing his usual mind games with him and getting tossed around by him.
So basically this mans my whole childhood? I aint complainin...
Recruit Main same here Hes awesome I always hear his voice I say it’s that same here never knew his name when I was kid
@@tanishambrowne1137 don’t forget about Devili D. Koopa he’s the one who played by Kevin Michael Richardson.
Jesus he played the whole cast in batman
Kevin Michael Richardson’s the one who played by Devili D. Koopa, Bowser and Dry Bowser’s brother.
Same with young justice
I want a whole dc show with only Kevin and Troy Baker doing the voices
brian jude jones Are you serious? I need this guys autograph!
Yeah really basically everyone but batman 😂
I love his deep voices but his range is amazing
This guy's IMDB resume is huge.
yuuuuuuuuuuuge :D
@Lizardguy no shit
One of my childhood favorite voice actor
Yeah he's voiced villains since the 1990s! Wait a minute voiced villains? That's right he's a black Mark Hamill!
Love this guy’s voice: his deep yet smooth, powerful & great vocal ranges,
This guy is on par Tara Strong, Jennifer Hale, Fred Tatasciore, John DiMaggio, Keith David, Dee Bradley Baker & (any others I missed): skilled voice actors who are in such high demand that you would find them in almost any major animated TV series, game etc
Kevin Michael Richardson just might have the blackest voice ever, and it sounds excellent.
KMR could do a James Earl Jones impression INDISTINGUISHABLE from JEJ.
Aquarius199 yep
The Ultimate Reductionist is there a video of that?
What about Keith David?
KINGBADASS100 oh yeah
One of the greatest VO artists ever. The world would seriously be missing out big time if this man had chosen a different career path
Man he was so easy to distinguish I remember as a kid when I'd hear his voice in different cartoons I'd be all "It's that guy! It's that guy!" I was bad with names lol.
+OperationDamage Same; Chairman Drek was what I knew him from. Sad that he isn't in the new ratchet and clank movie:(
+HotshottBG i was so mad to hear he didn't return to voice him in the game/voice.
I did the same thing i still do actually
Even as Mr. Myxzptlk
You should've said: I know that voice!
The greatest voice ever. Just pure, deep masculinity.
Jesus, he voiced my entire childhood...
I know right!!
Mine too.
Jesus! He can even voice Jesus Christ in an animated movie!
Literally same bro.
@@themarinefan Don’t forget about Devili D. Koopa; he’s the one who played by Kevin Michael Richardson.
Big character with a serious personality: * EXISTS *
This dude:
He has amazing range
They did some voice modifications too. But yeah, this GUY is Impressive
He's like the Seth Macfarlane of Batman The Brave And Bold.
Whoa, he's in every animated show I've ever seen o_o
ikr
same lol
Wait til you see Phil Lamar
Not spongebob
I know right
4:01 is probably the closest to what kamek will be in the mario movie
that's what I thought as well.
Or even 1:48
Thanks. That’s what I’m here for. Haha!
Idk, I feel like Illumination wouldn’t cast him specifically, just to have him do that voice.
I think it would be 1:21
Keith David and Kevin Michael Richardson.
2 of the best voice actors alive.... And they were in Halo 2 together!!! OMG
Throw in Morgan Freeman and you’ve got the Holy Trinity of black voices.
Halo 2 is my favorite game ever. Arbiter, Tartarus, and Halfjaw are three of my favorite characters that were new to Halo 2.
Tartarus: "...You've drawn quite a crowd.." (>:) )
Thel Vadame: "...If they Came to hear me BEG, they will be Disappointed..
(>:0) "
Tartarus: "..ARE yoU suRe (>:D) !?!? ..."
So you took the person who's probably best suited for Bowser and you make him Kamek. This movie is going be a fun trainwreck and I can't wait to watch it
He has done jobs that are closer to how Kamek sounds like 1:47 and 4:01
I want this guy reading my bedtime stories...
Lol me too
I bet his principle luis character wouldnt mind at all for you
Not me. I'd end up imagining nightmares or be to inspired to sleep
Lol sammmmme
Go play Baldur’s gate 1, then.
You’re here for kamek. You’re not disappointed.
His Joker is nice. He and Mark Hamill do a really good job with that one and I had no idea he did Lester from The Cleveland Show......J
It's only fair, Cleveland is voiced by a white guy so it'd make sense they'd have the hillbilly be voiced by a black guy.
His role as junior is far more entertaining, though.
Those two can also do Antauri and Skeleton King from SRMTHFG!
Irvin Morales Yeah exactly Kevin Michael Richardson is a black Mark Hamill in that area!
This dude is like 90% of DCs animated cast
If there were to ever be another Kirby animated series, I'd want Kevin Michael Richardson to voice King Dedede and Ron Perlman to voice Meta Knight
that would work! booya!
Or heck, have him voice Meta Knight.
Mason Quigley that's awesome
Mason Quigley holy shit
If there were another Mario series, I'd want him to voice Bowser
I feel like it would make more sense if he played Bowser instead of Jack Black tbh
One of the best voice actors in this business. My favorites are Gantu, Joker, Shredder & Groot.
I wasn't a big fan of his joker,or that joker in general. Don't think that show really got the concept of what joker represents.
+Shaun N Ince I personally grew up with him voicing Antauri from SRMTHFG! X3
Antauri is the my babe!
principal Louise is mine
My favorite is Grommash Hellscream I love Warcraft
Having fun imagining Kamek with a deep, dark booming voice in the movie
Kamek’ll likely sound similar to his Joker voice in the Batman
@@nathanneil5138 or Demongo

I always knew this man's iconic deep voice characters, but dang he has more range of voice than I thought he did!
I'm honestly surprised how well he can pull off a Keith David impression.
MovieDragon009 That's why he was hired to voice Tombstone in Spiderman & Spawn. He was matching Keith David's performances in those roles.
i wouldn't be surprised if he was his understudy
I wouldn’t be surprised if he played Dr. Facilier
He's probably the most underrated voice actor of all time.
Did he say "Ninja Please" 3:39
He did!
Yep! They weren't even tryin to hide it
Can you lend a ninja a hand?

Every time I see him I'm thinking he was Raven's dad on Teen Titans...so I imagine him and Tara Strong yelling at each other...
Guess you can say Tara got blacked. Ahahahahahahahaha........ I'll see myself ouy
Out
Remember, he voiced Skulker and Tara voiced Ember in Danny Phantom... And those 2 characters were DATING at one point
This man is voicing Kamek in the Mario Movie. Kamek is gonna have a funny voice in the movie

So did I.
Qrow Freeman damn, I feel stupid how I couldn’t figure out he also voiced the Bear since I also heard Trigon!!
