Looney Tunes Voice Actor Reviews Impressions of His Voices | Vanity Fair - Zábava
"I don't recommend it, because I think it can kinda kill you" is the greatest life advice any of us will ever get.
It truly does fit so many scenarios.
Helium truly is the drug of the drugs that everyone should stay away as best as they can, it can take you up on a crazy binge and people will comment and laugh for your voice, nobody needs that. "Don't do drugs".
He's not wrong, lol.
Not to get dark but someone I knew committed suicide with helium gas..
So throw everything away because it will kill you? No you take risks that's how you should live life
His normal voice is completely unrecognizable. That's actual talent to me.
Indeed.
He only played Looney Tunes characters in Robot chicken and is the new porky pig after 2011. None of "His Voices" are his voices. He's an impersonator reviewing impersonators.
@@iored He did Marvin the Martian back in '96 for Spacejam. Good job being completely ignorant tho
I swear to god, he sounds exactly like Alton Brown.
Same for Frank Oz and Matt Vogel's normal speaking voices
As someone who stutters, I am constantly "ad-libbing".
Lol same
ad ad err ad err.. making stuff up..
🙌
Its not easy thinking up appropriate replacement words instantly when you know youre about to stutter. Imo having a good vocabulary and the ability to access it quickly are essential tools for us stutterers. Wish i knew why we cant just spit it out lol.
All of the stutterers comment on this comment, including me!
He’s roasting them in a polite indirect way 😂😂😂😂
Well that's constructive criticism I guess?
Not really, roasting and constructive criticism are two entirely different things.
MKF30 well roasting in a polite indirect way is basically constructive criticism
Lance Xavier Chan , no not the criticism the parts. Where he points out certain things in the background and stuff
@Hello well he's not insulting them either, he's trying to help them. It's also all about attitude, I've had plenty of teachers, bosses etc over the years and most overlook the fact that it's also how they go about it.
It was cute to see him not outright dismiss some of the more dire ones.
A good artist remembers how they started and wont try to bring other down.
nygreenguy unlike butch Hartman
Yeah. You can really tell that he is a teacher and cares about helping folks get better at the craft.
I don't think any of those were too "dire". All at least like passable at a local talent show ya know?
nygreenguy
Yeah but real voice actors all get big because they have their own voices and they’re good. No one will get big by copying other voices
Oh lord that video he's reviewing is 7 YEARS old now, but thank you so much for having Bob react to my impressions regardless!! 😂 Here’s hoping I’ve learned a bit since then. I think my head has calmed down a bit at least.
Please Please Please do a video where you react/respond to his advice
@@Liam_Mellon THIS!!!!
Yay! Brizzy!
I THOUGHT IT WAS YOU
I love you, Brizzy!
This dude gave a masterclass right now! I respect his constructive criticism.
constructive criticism is pretty cool!
Same here.
yha i'm sure someone is judging this guy hard because the world can't take criticism anymore.
I never in my wildest dreams thought my Tweety impression would be reviewed by someone who is paid to voice Tweety. Great advice! And would you have guessed that was the first time I ever did an impression on camera? I'll know what to do next time now... goodbye construction!
Congrats
Congratulations on 1K
Logic Bex thankyou
That’s gotta be pretty cool! Congratulations Frank.
Wow
voice acting is an underappreciated artform. Thank you for these videos
In trailers, the voice actors don’t get credited at all!
i do a lot of voices as well.
Yes it really is cuz Voice acting is kinda like the olden day of Ancient Greece where they had masks on but in this case the masks are the animators drawings
Agreed. Now we just have to convince disney and dreamworks to hire the true professionals
Disney and DreamWorks do that for their shows but not the movies. For example, DreamWorks Trolls:The Beat Goes On! Has a different actress for Poppy so instead of Anna Kendrick, they used Amanda Leighton but Amanda actually sounds really good in the role!
“A dud deuhd duhe dont do drugs people” That killed me 😭😂😂
Sameee I haven't seen anyone else comment about it 😂
This should be used for a don't-do-drugs-campain 😅
funny thing about porky's ad lib; as a child i had a pretty bad stutter and sometimes when i was having trouble with a word i would just give up and pick a different word with the same meaning. just like the ad lib thing
As someone who stutters since childhood, this is very relatable, maybe it's common to most people who stutter. I even developed a pre-selected list of options for words I often have trouble with. You got to adapt yourself.
pipomaggi lol I don’t stutter but I do the different word thing because I’m bad speller 😅
As a lover of words and languages, I think this is very brilliant.
@@educostanzo same.. Same.. I never noticed it since I saw it in Spanish.. But yeah I did it as well.
1k Liked where’s my banana
“i don’t necessarily recommend the helium as an acting technique for characters, because i think it can kinda kill you” 😂😂😂
I think
I think we just got a masterclass in voice acting. TONS of great advice and tips from someone who has honed his talent for decades.
he's a natural born teacher
Did you also get 3 Masterclass Ads during this video because I did and that made your comment even funnier.
He sucks! A terrible Mel imitator.
@@tyketoons I believe MrParkerman6 is trolling for a response
@@whodatninja439 I think he is more of a Trained teacher. :)
“Let’s talk about tweety’s gender” -never thought I’d hear that so serious. Love it.
Tweety is male, according to the origins. End of story.
I’m glad he’s actually critiquing them and not just going. “Good job keep doing it”.
"And nobody can do that, and that's why I have job security." - Bob Bergen
I uploaded my Looney Tunes impressions last year during summer and I have no idea that a Looney Tunes voice actor like Bob Bergen will end up watching it which is so cool! It may be short but thanks for having Bob reacting to my video!!! :D
Congrats
good for you!! :)
Yeah nice job
Good for you family!
Congratulations ❤
Bob Bergen the entire video:
Well yes, but actually no
Yep, couldn’t have said it better myself
Lurkingooze362 ok
FreeSpritePalette ok
Lurkingooze362 ok
FreeSpiritPaulette ok
I like how supportive he is even of ones that sound nothing like the character.
Impressionist: **sounds like Homer Simpson when doing tweety**
...
...
...
Bob Bergen: _well, that was just... wow. GREAT._
i dont.
@Yegroid ok
“Is tweety a boy or a girl”
Warner Borthers: Y E S
“Borthers”
Warner brothers: well yes but actually no.
Warner Bros.: yeah we’ll get to that in a second.
Borthers
@@raymond8439 BOTHERS
Bergen: creates genius way to put personality and flare into a squirrel language he was told to invent about 10 minutes ago
Mark : yeah that's fine i guess
Uh....
Laughs in ueno ikue(pikachu seiyuu)
"Tweety's Ls and Rs are Ws"
Tweety, the original UwU monster.
OwO
Lmafo
I don't see the connection. The uwu thing is a sort of ASCII face, not a mispronounced word. It isn't supposed to mean uru or ulu.
@@NickC_222 r/wooosh
He watches huwu
There is a wonderful documentary called "I Know that Voice" all about voice actors and it's just fantastic, and he makes a wonderful point about imitating a voice versus acting with a voice, hence their title. It's one thing to do Bugs Bunny, but can you recite Shakespeare as Bugs Bunny? That's where the gold is, and that's what makes the talent iconic.
Wow, you nailed it, I wish I'd said it so perfectly
700th like-
and wow-
that actually was said perfectly-
I couldn’t have said it better myself-
2:07 Impressionists, take notes!
1) Eh ma meehya muh mehya

Same formula, same pattern for every single word😊
I laughed out loud.
Hahaha I unconsciously said that in a Filipino ascent
Putting those sounds into words is pretty impressive though
Bob Bergen: squeak squeak...
A Squirrel : *squirrel noises*
Bob Bergen: THANK YOU!
This is funny
That story had me rolling the hardest in a while.
squeaks?
_The fact that _*_Bob_*_ told an _*_origin story_*_ about a _*_squirrel_*_ is actually surprising._
This is so immensely uplifting. I love that he's giving advice not just critiques.
He's also a voiceover coach.
I am absolutely floored that 2 of my impressions were reviewed in this video. Thank you for the amazing tips for voicing these characters, and moving forward I’ll definitely consider them for other voices/videos.
So cool to see voice actors getting attention!
Finally!
It's sad that ever since the whole Robin Williams as Genie situation that normal actors and big names just use their own voices is animated films since it brings in more money
And what makes it bitter sweet was that Robin actually gave out a good performance. An awesome performance but Hollywood seems to care about casting celebs not for the talent but because of how popular they are
Caleb Kuti and that he didn’t want them using his name to advertise!
That’s so annoying that Disney did not listen to him!
At 5:10 when he’s talking about tweety being sped up, when he does the voice play it back at 1.25x and see the difference
"It's really easy to mimic the catchphrase..."
You have absolutely not heard me try. Voice acting is flipping hard! I'm in awe of voice actors.
All these condescending comments ~HeS JuSt dOinG MeL bLanC ImPrEssIonS~ Mel Blanc died in 1989. Should Looney Toons have died with him? The characters are immortal because of voice actors. These voice actors take Blanc’s legacy and make it their own.
Exactly, while there’s only one true Mel Blanc, that doesn’t mean that other voice actors can’t carry on his legacy by doing their best impersonations of his legendary voices. It is the same thing with superhero actors being portrayed by newer generations of actors such as Christopher reeves superman people think that he’s the only superman that is not true as Tom Welling, Brandon Routh and Henry Cavill have clearly proved. I especially see this level of blind fanboyism and ignorance regarding Mark Hamills joker, as if he’s the only joker that’s allowed to voice the character which is entirely false, John DiMaggio proved this as well as Richard Epscar. But that’s fanboys for you. I say this also as an amateur and aspiring voice actor.
There's a scene where Granny is talking to Tweety and Sylvester and she says "C'mon boys". I assumed at the time that meant he was male but who knows.
He’s definitely a boy, I’ve seen at least 4+ occasions of him being alluded to being a boy.
It's amazing that there have been dozens of voice actors recreating a couple of characters at a time since Blanc died... of Mel Blanc did almost all of them eveyr year for decades.
In one of David Letterman's WORST interviews, he sat with Mel Blanc. And I think he said he did 500+ .. COMPLETELY UNIQUE voices.
Mel redefined what it meant to be a vocal-talent genius, and Dave treated him like the intern that gets him coffee. I like Dave, but that was hard to watch.
@@thenudebrewer7466 that's really sad because Mel Blanc has talent beyond Letterman by a light year
"I don't recommend helium as a technique because I think it can kiiinda kill you." lmao
Am I the only one who, since Bob’s entire persona is so family friendly, so G-rated suburban dad, would like to hear what he’d do if you asked him to riff as Deadpool or Cable? Or Kratos for that matter?
Lol. I agree.
you think he is just a family friendly cartoon guy, but he is a genious. When i say genious i mean people with many layers and dimensions. A normal person has like two or 3 dimensions, but this guys has like 33 sides, you cant describe him with one sentence or even put him into a drawer in your little head. He would do a great Tanos, Kratos, Joker or Deadpool at any time if he needed to and many things more that you cant even imagine. But as we like to think in reduced patterns this is just a family friendly voice actor to us :0
@@eduuklee9453 Waht you mean is he is very flexible kind of liquid like and just take any shape or form no?
Me: Can I have the wifi password
Friend: Yeah its on the back of the router
*the back of the router: 2:08
How did you even think of this? 😂😂😂
haha genius!
Ingenious and hilarious comments like this is half the reason I still use youtube lol
I actually loled wow
Witty!
TWEETY'S GENDER IS UNKNOWN. this makes me happy. I can stop wondering now.
Remington Peterson I remember a episode where tweety goes to a bird house for a bathroom and breaks the fourth wall and says I bet you thought I was always a girl
@@returnofthemack6295 and an episode where Sylvester painted his finger in a female version.......🤔 then again he could be assuming the way we do
Tweety's always been strongly implied to be a boy
I always twot it's a girl but this video...
@@RonLarhz many people believe Tweety is a girl, but he's always been a boy
Wow Mel Blanc looks really good for being 112.
Nah, this Bob guy is trying, but he's no Mel B. It's like Kermit the frog; Kermit IS Jim Henson, anyone else is just trying.
He's definetly lost a lot of melanin though.
@@Elurin Ok, I agree with your Jim Henson comment but these voice actors are still very VERY important and talented. Also, Jim asked Steve SPECIFICALLY to take over for him so...
10:49 "All characters have a voice, but not all voices have character." Wow.
How many times in this world would "He's in his pig zone" be such a compliment?
Bob Bergen is such a great voice actor, and he seems like a really cool guy. I like seeing long time voice actors talk about how well they know the voice over industry, and sharing their knowledge.
The one with the helium. Brian Hull was purposely doing a helium impression challenge.
"Is Tweety male or female? We don't know." Now I really want a definitive answer😬😁
Tweety is non-binary
Daniel Daniels no, it’s a boy
He's actually always been portrayed as a boy. Every bit of evidence (and I've watched just about everything) says Tweety's a boy. The only thing which suggests otherwise is the high pitched voice
Anthony SnowYoung pretty sure it’s a bird, not a boy.
@@danieldaniels7571 what.
I want to see him do Luke Skywalker so bad. He was Luke in a lot of the video games in 90 and 00s. He's such a good voice actor
Luke is just his normal voice.
He definitely does Mel Blanc's creations some serious honor. The man is pure talent.
Is it just me, or is Marvin the Martian just like thiiiiis close to being Peter Sellers as Dr. Strangelove? Just needs the accent.
I don't think I would have noticed this without your comment, but I do not think I will be able to unlink the voices now.
I love Bob Bergen's honesty and giving his constructive criticism for the different impersonators of his characters.
"When you see even the smallest good in people, you see the potential"
-You did this even with the slightest similarity of some of the recordings. This is why, you are a top tier voice impressionist/artist/actor/creator. And also, a huge thanks to you Bob Bergen, because of dedicated individuals like you, our children can grow up with the same good wholesome cartoon characters our grandparents grew up with.
7:19 this impression... why is to so cute-
Now i want Mark Hamill to do this!
Bob Bergen is more than just a marvelous voice actor; he elevates the art by encouraging other artists. This is just one example.
Astounding voice actor and clearly someone who knows how to hone in on certain qualities and choices when performing
Nice. When you referred to reading the newspaper front page in the characters voice, it reminded me of Seth McFarlane singing Cindy Lauper songs as Stewie and Peter when they were both on the Graham Norton show (utube has versions of it).
Bob: “okay, lets talk about tweety’s gender shall we? is tweety male or female?”
Also Bob:
“we dont know”
A LEGEND 😂❤️
Edit: omg guys, 86 likes in a day.. Glad to know a lot of people love Bob being... Bob. lmaooo 😂💓
Edit2: Dangg 100 likes! Thank ya’ll 😘 Most likes i’ve gotten after all my years in youtube ngl 😂💕💕
Dyan Soriano no
I've gotten like 800 likes once. It was like a year ago in a 1000 degree knife video. It was like 1 sentence and I was like, "WTF. how did I get this many likes".
Cutting Edge Gaming exactly my reaction when i got a hundered likes,, lmaooo 😂
Amazing cannot believe it, anonymous pixel tally is above 200.
no
He kinda looks like Stephen King
FREAKING LOVE THIS!! So inspired! Would love to learn at the feet of Bob Bergen someday. I also love that Bob reviewed the impressions of Brizzy and Brian Hull, two of my favourite CZcams voiceactors!
It would be cool to have the links to the impressionists. That way you're giving creators exposure instead of just using them for a video.
the first one is of Brian hull. he does all kinds of impressions. mostly Disney. he goes to Disneyland/ world and does impressions in front of the characters. it makes their day
Girl who did tweety is top comment atm.
Brizzy Voices
The second impressionist was a channel The AlphaGinger show. He's pretty cool!
That way this video could possibly get the attention of the people who Bob reacted to. It would be cool if the impersonators saw this.
I felt like the did Brian Hull dirty in this one, he only used helium in 1 video to see what his impressions would sound like on them, he doesn't usually use helium, that was the worst clip of his to show.
Brian has WAY better impressions than what this showed. Just viewing his videos, he's been known to do some mind-blowing impressions. He just uploaded that one video of his where he broke Goofy. Lol
Same with Brizzy Voices. That video was like eight years old. She’s excellent now.
razorramone63139 what character hasn’t he broken
Beyondtheboundaries he’s cringey
@@NocturnalNed. ok and?
"I don't necessarily recommend the helium as an acting technique for characters because I think it can kinda kill you."
It's interesting that voice actors are finally getting recognition. In Japan, it's more highly regarded as a job. They rarely use famous actors to voice, as they would in the West.
I think Bergen did the best at reviewing impressions. I feel like the others were too nice
The man has unintentionally quoted the fact that, as a wise Ogre once said: "Onions have lairs". Seriously cool vid.
I thought they had swamps
Its layers.
@@MrThetronica That they do. I misspelled Layers with Lairs. Though honestly the thought that an Onion could have a Lair sounds pretty cool. Not going to change ti because it is a bit funnier that way.
@@ScottE-2 When I first saw Shrek I thought that pun was intentional.
I love these videos. It’s so cool to see the voice actors and how they developed their cartoon characters!
He’s great. Love how he gave feedback! Definitely a teacher
I like to see how gracious these voice actors are
One of the first ones actually critiquing and not just being nice lol super useful critiques and polite at the same time.
Wow, this video is awesome! I'm so impressed by people's voice talents and this actor seemed so nice, I love his critiques and advice.
this guy needs a masterclass he's incredible
That dude at 7:30 actually kinda looked like tweety bird to me🤔😂
he do😳
STOP 😭😭
He does😂I was thinking the same!
This is an incredible video, and I feel like I just sat in on a voice acting masterclass that I didn't pay for. What a legend, and I didn't even know his name before this.
He's such a nice human being. Always saying nice things and criticism is on point but still so gently doing it, lots of knowledge shared. Such a good guy
“Looney Tunes voice impressionist, reviews impressions of his voice impressions”
Looney Tunes voice actor*
He has taken over these legacies after Mel Blanc passed away.
@@alalalala57 yes... by doing Mel Blanc impressions.
1:27 listen to what he said folks!
I really like this video because Bob is not just reacting, he is telling them how good they are doing and how to improve.
When he did the frozen read at the end....that was truly impressive
I am a simple man...
Every time I see Looney Tunes,
I click faster than the speed of light...
You mean faster than speedy gonzalez
My favorite part about six flags
3:29 some parents just covered their. Child's earssssss
This was an amazing treat! Thank you, Vanity Fair!
So glad to see this video. I had no idea that some of the characters voices were sped up.
So perfectly performed!
Bob: talking about onions and layers.
Me: immediately thinks of Shrek
Love the ideas for content!
Love this guy... Saw him in 'i know that voice'
I really love this channel
I love these voice actors react to impressions of thier characters! I'd love to see Patrick Warburton and H. Jon Benjamin even tho they don't change thier voice much for characters
Gosh he has the cutest dimple!!!! This video was so cool to watch! He’s so professional and helpful!
1:54- FTR, that pattern also works in Japanese due to the fact that the language is a syllabary. あ (a) and え (e) are the only vowel sounds you need to do it, and the combo sounds are a natural part of the language. The only exceptions are words like “えがく” (egaku), where the word starts with a vowel. So:
“エ・ナ・ね・エ・ニ学期エ・バ・べ・エ・勉強しましたから、エ・ワ・ウェ・エ・忘れメセン”
is easy to convert to Porky-speak, but a sentence like:
“朝に、私わ朝ごはんを食べる”
is a bit harder, and a sentence consisting of nothing but vowel-starting words is impossible.
A living legend!
8:30
So glad Brock is in there.
This is like the coolest video ever... It's so facinating to me to see cartoons voice actors switch form one character to another like nothing!
A true pleasure to watch. Thanks.
Brian Hall I think was thrown under the buss. He has done songs with these characters and has read stuff like letters in these voices. I think they set him up.
The red headed guy’s Marvin impression almost sounds like Johnny Bravo
This made my day 100000x better!!!!
That’s cool that their voices were sped up! It gets my hopes up cause I have a deeper voice now and I’m no longer do the voices I was able to do before
Someone quick send this to Brian hull
bugs bunny brizzy commented so I’m sure she sent it to him
5:54 i sped it to 2x yes it is Speedy
I love this so much !
This is real stellar advice, so cool to see
