BotCon 2008 - Voice Actors Panel Live Reports

By Primus on Friday, April 25, 2008

Panel includes Bumper Robinson (Bumblebee, Blitzwing), David Kaye (Optimus Prime), and Tara Strong (Sari).

+ The voice actors relayed the message that Tom Kenny (Starscream) says "hi" to everyone and he wished he could have been here.

+ Asked if there any plans to bring Beast Wars Megatron into the Transformers: Animated fold. David Kaye says he doesn't think so.

+ VAs can do up to 3 character for show. If they do more they have to be paid more.

+ Just like Beast Wars, they voice actors do group sessions for the Animated show instead of sitting a booth alone. They said is it more fun to do it that way while working off the energy of other people.

+ David Kaye said it was really cool to work with Lance Hendrikson.

+ Bumper joked he wanted to voice all the characters and Tara joked she wanted to be Optimus Prime.

+ When asked did they know who they wanted to voice when they went into the auditions, Tara said she wanted to voice Blackarachnia. Bumper would have liked to voiced Jazz.

+ It took David about 4-5 episodes to get comfortable voicing Prime.

+ The VAs on the behest of a fan, got in character in the situation of order at a fast food restaurant.

+ Bumper was in Mr. T's "Be Somebody" school.

+ David does a bit where he argues with himself as Optimus and Megatron being on the freeway.
