Our Editor's Take

Who are the voices behind the world's favorite animated characters? The I Hear Voices podcast is all about the voice actors who speak for characters like Bugs Bunny or Batman. The hosts are voice actors Christy Carlson Romano and Will Friedle.

I Hear Voices will have listeners giggling at hilarious voices. It will also teach them what happens during the process of voice acting. One episode features voice and casting director Lisa Schaffer. Schaffer first met the hosts when she worked on Kim Possible. She discusses directing and casting for Guardians of the Galaxy. She also gives insight into what happens behind the screen and in the sound booth. The podcast takes on a somber tone when its hosts pay tribute to one of the voice-acting greats, Kevin Conroy. Conroy voiced Batman for more than three decades. Conroy appeared on an earlier episode before he passed. There, he explained why Batman continues to resonate with audiences. His story is “the ultimate hero's journey.” This voice actor is one of the podcast's own heroes, and they celebrate him here.

Who is the current voice of Bugs Bunny, and what other talents does he have? How are voice actors cast? I Hear Voices answers these questions and delights listeners of all ages with its own ridiculous voices.
