Voice-casting my Colmaton Universe characters
9 years ago
Once upon a time, 
ultraman400 asked me in a shout who I would cast as voices for my characters. So, I've been thinking a lot about who I'd voice-cast as my Colmaton Universe characters.
Voltage Vixen II/Kayla Bowles: At first, I said Tara Strong, but since, I've found another voice actress who'd be perfect: Hynden Walch. She's voiced somewhat similar characters in the past. Closest to Kayla of the characters she's voiced, I'd have to say Ace from Justice League/Justice League Unlimited.
Combat: I always imagined him sounding somewhat like Jim Kelly. Unfortunately, Grandmaster Kelly is no longer with us. At first, I said either Khary Payton or Bumper Robinson. Then I had three more candidates to do his voice: Phil LaMarr, James C. Mathis III and Michael Jai White. I've since narrowed it down to Payton and LaMarr. LaMarr could probably do a lighter version of his John Stewart voice.
Lightshow: At first I was torn between Kimberly Brooks, Masasa Moyo and Cree Summer. Lately, I've been considering Kyla Pratt, whose only voice acting role has been Penny Proud from The Proud Family. Just something funny about the idea of hearing "I mean, seriously, is the pussy *that* good?!" in Penny Proud's voice.
Han Zhaoxing: Now, I was doing my damndest not to hear George Takei, even though he has the kind of voice I envision coming out of Han. I originally based Han on Sir Christopher Lee's portrayal of Fu Manchu, but Sir Christopher is no longer with us. However, I did find Timothy Dang. He doesn't have quite the melodic bass I imagined Han as having, but he has voiced villains before. Someone else I've considered is TC Carson, who isn't Asian but has the smooth, deep voice.
Han Daiyu: I chose Kelly Hu to voice Daiyu based on her past roles.
Rikishi: Among other roles, Andrew Kishino was the voice of Kenny "King" Kong on Spectacular Spider-Man. I imagine Rikishi sounding like an older version of Kong with a Japanese accent.
Shinkansen: Either Kishino or Eric Bauza.
That's who I've come up with so far. Maybe I'll do another similar journal entry when I can think of voices for more of my characters.

"THIS IS MY MECCA! AHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHA!"
As for me, I'm still thinking of voice actors for my characters. I might make a journal after I finish making the other characters I have in the works.
