    I'm surprised nobody's mentioned how Dan Castellaneta, Harry Shearer, and Hank Azaria do like 90% of the voices on The Simpsons. (Yes, that's a high estimate, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't too far off.)

    I was just about to do that but decided not to start to slide away from the topic :D

    Or Seth MacFarlane on Family Guy (Peter Griffin, Stewie Griffin, Brian Griffin, Glenn Quagmire, Tom Tucker, Carter Pewterschmidt and more)

    Hmm, I probably didn't think about it because I haven't really watched Family Guy in a year or two. Of course, by that logic it's astounding that I even thought of The Simpsons, since I wasn't allowed to watch it when I was little and never got into it as a result.

    hmm, i dont know if we've thought about that or not. his work load as guybrush alone is pretty intense. and considering he travels out from the east coast to do the recording here in the bay area, we try not to keep him for longer than we have to.

    Does he have to travel to do the recordings? Or can it be done remotely? I read in an interview that Alexandra Boyd's lines were recorded in the UK and sent by email and directed through Skype.

    dominic travels from the east coast out to the bay area because the work load is so intense. alexandra has considerably fewer lines so we'll make do with a remote session. luckily, because we (the designers) did the W&G recording in London, we've got a good relationship with a studio over there so when we do have to do recordings remotely, we've already got a basic understanding of their setup over there. skype is great but can't hold a candle to being in the same room as the actor.

    you do know that Dan Castellaneta does the voice of Earthworm Jim in the cartoon series - groovy

    also back on the topic, i just found out the other day that the guy who does Kenny Falmouth voice in curse of monkey island is actually Gary Coleman - which is very intresting cause i couldnt image them sounding the same....thats the beauty of voice acting, to portray a character and to make them believe that you sound totally different....i did some voice acting for the fan made game of Zak Mckracken 2:between time and space the english version, but when thats up, ill post some clips on my website

    Erm, that's not Nicki Rapp. That picture comes up in a Google search for "Nikki Rapp", but it's someone else. This is the picture Nicki Rapp has up on her website.

    Didn't she also do the voices for the Sim children in Sims/Sims2? I remember searching her after chapter one (she was in the credits) to see if her role was listed.

    Yes she did.

    Also - South Park: Trey Parker and Matt Stone do almost all the male (and a few female) voices. Then again, those voices all do sound the same :)
