[Monotori]

Besides the obvious English/Japanese ones, I think kudos also go out to the dubbers in other languages; from Wakfu, I especially admire Fanny Bloc, Benoit Allemane, Bruno Choel, and Benjamin Pascal, the first of which is because she convincingly plays a non-angsty lead male and the rest of which you can just tell by their voices are awesome.

[AmyAnn]

Jim Cummings.

[RamiLeli]

Spike Spencer, Tiffany Grant, Tara Strong, Barbara Goodson. <3

[ckat13]

Billy West, the man can do so many voices and can even sing in all of them, that right there is admirable ;P . Also June Foray, a legend whom I'd love to meet one day...well, both really.

[JWalker]

anyone basically, too many names to list lol

btw I would answer this in detail, but this question is a year old! lol

[martialmichael126]

I'll admit, I'm a huge Vic Mignogna fan. He's got an increadible acting range that any VA should aspire to reach.

[MissAck]

Spike Spencer, Tiffany Grant, Tara Strong, Barbara Goodson. <3

Spike is a perv... >.>
But he's kind of funny when he's drunk.

hahaha.


I really admire... well a lot of them I guess haha.

Jodi Benson and Nancy Cartwright are up there. I'm just a huge mega fan of Tara Strong. Veronica Taylor is apart of it too.

And definitely the Dobson brothers. They were super kind to be. Mike is definitely highly admired out of everyone I mentioned.

[Splodeydope]

I, personally, don't really admire anyone (within the context of the question).

[Elsa]

Johnny Yong Bosch, Vic Mignogna, Wendee Lee, and Caitlin Glass

[Rahne]

Eeeeeeeeveryone!

......

No, seriously. Everyone!

............

Okay, okay... Kirby Morrow.

[Steven Mane]

Male VAs: Frank Welker, Dee Bradley Baker, and Jim Cummings.

However, I grew up on game show announcers, so I have to throw in Johnny Gilbert, Burton Richardson, and the late, great Charlie O'Donnell.

[Y. Chang]

Melissa D. Johnson.

[Apatheria]

Kinda surprised I'm the first to say Tress MacNeille.

[Blue Leader]

Yuri Lowenthal, Cynthia Martinez and Jamieson Price, among others. They all are so very talented it's impressive, and Jamieson just plane has an awesome voice.

[KingChronn]

I've always really really loved those younger boy voices you would hear from Mona Marshall and Barbara Goodson.

[TehPoptartKid]

Jonathan Katz, H. Jon Benjamin, Don Mckellar, Laurie Metcalf, French Stewart, Alan Cumming, James Garner, Nancy Cartwright, Frank Welker, Tress MacNeille, Julie Kavner, Dan Castellaneta, Yeardly Smith, Harry Shearer, Hank Azaria, Pamela Hayden, Marcia Wallace, Russi Taylor, Seth Macfarlane, Seth Green, Alex Borstein, Mila Kunis, Mike Henry, Patrick Warburton, John Veiner, Wendy Schaal, Dee Bradley Baker, Scott Grimes, Rachel Macfarlane, Breckin Meyer, Dan Milano, Ron Lynch, Janine Ditullio, Emo Philips, Melissa Bardin Galsky, Laura Silverman, Dave Willis, Dana Snyder, Carey Means, C. Martin Croker, Matt Maiellaro, Patton Oswalt, Daniel Stern, Larry Miller, Gordon Hunt, Chris Elliot, Jim Wise, Jackie Hoffman, Tom Kenny, Kathy Griffin, Bill Fagerbakke, Rodger Bumpass, Clancy Brown, Rob Paulsen, Jess Harnell, Maurice Lemarche, Mae Whitman, Larry Drake, John Kricfalusi, Christine Cavanaugh, Allison Moore, Kath Soucie, Tony Sampson, Sam Vincent, Erin Fitzgerald, Keenan Christenson, Kathleen Barr, Matt Hill, Tabitha St. Germain, Janyse Jaud, Peter Kelamis, David Wain, Teddy Cohn, Richard Mathar, Christy Karacas, Larry Murphy, Carl W.

I think that just about covers it. The people I named voice or have voiced in shows like Venture Brothers, Home Movies, The Simpsons, Robot Chicken, Odd Job Jack, Archer, God, The Devil, and Bob, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and a lot of other TV shows you might recognize if you recognize these names and or look up these names on IMDb and look what they have done in the past or present. I admire all these talented voice actors/actresses and wish the best for them.

[Rikkulockhart]

Monica Rial is my most favorite VA and the one I admire the most. I love her wide voice range and all the characters she can pull off.

[Mrwest16]

Frank Welker.

[Rikkulockhart]

...and I just thought of one more VA I really like (even though he hasn't been in much lately). Scott McNeil. He is HILARIOUS and I admire his voice work. Also, I really like the fact that he cares a lot about his fans. He even remembered me from the previous year when we saw each other at another con the next year! O_O

Oh, and Derek Stephen Prince.
