Fun Things To Try With A Garbage Can

This clip is a pretty good example of why Frank Welker is one of the most skilled, not to mention prolific, modern day voice actors:

    I remember seeing a clip of Jimmy MacDonald, the Disney sound effects man, making those classic bear growl sounds from the cartoons and the True-Life Adventures by doing exactly what Frank does here, but in a large beer glass.

    It’s always a treat watching these guys do what they do. It’s almost like magic. Very silly, but entertaining, magic.

    Oh–so that’s what Frank Welker looks like…

      That’s what he LOOKED like. He’s now considerably grayer-haired.

      He co-starred with Don Knotts in “How to Frame a Figg,” so I knew what he looked like…

    I remember hearing that every animal in Futurama is voiced by Frank Welker.

    Nice! When I saw this clip on tv somewhere back in 1994, I was very impressed! It actually helped me winning two tickets for the movie by imitating a lion roar through the phone. Although I used a cooking pot instead of a garbage can, and I’m sure the squeaking of a 10 year old boy was less impressive then what Frank Welker does here ;)

    Frank is legendary. You’d never thought he’d be the same guy who also voiced the Dragonfly from DePatie-Freleng’s “Crazylegs Crane” series. Great technique there.

    This is another fun recording session, also by Frank;

    I wonder how long he had to do those kinds of noises before they stopped hurting his throat.

    “Great.”
    “Yeah, that was good.”

    Meanwhile, I’m blown back with astonishment.

    His voice effects are blended with real lion growls, I’m sure…
