I found this around the same time I found the 5men clip. The gold I find with this clip is to watch how Dan and Harry use facial expressions and physicality to express the vocal characterizations that they do, in addition to how intune they are with their characters. Not to mention it's fricken hilarous!

That was great XD Being able to improv the characters like that is amazing. And I was aware that they both took on mulitple roles in the show, but I didn't know that Dr. Hibert was done by the same person who did Mr Burns! That really shows how talented these guys are.

And I think the last time I saw a picture of Dan in this one Simpsons book I had, he had hair. So it was kind of weird for me to see what he looks like now. Then again that was at least 6 years ago XD;

Man! That was hilarious!

Although my absolute favorite clip of The Simpsons voice actors is when they're all on Inside the Actor's Studio. Having six (or was it eight?) of them all on stage at once was just awesome.

I've seen shows where they improvise! I find it so amazing that all their characters sound so different, and that they can so effortlessly switch between characters! And of course, it's soo impressive how they can improvise like that! The entire cast is awesome! <3

Its defintly freaky to see so many voices pop out of the same person. One thing that irked me was I didnt actualy see Julie Kavner speaking in Marge's voice, they just cut away to some old simpsons episodes,and they did that again when she did patty and Selma, show us Julie next time!

I'd been wondering about this myself.

According to IMDB, Julie Kavner won't allow cameras to film her while she's doing the voices of The Simpsons characters. It doesn't say why though.

i dont see the point, I mean if she wants to avoid being chased by paraazzi or craze Simpsons fans, then just simply dont show up at shows like these. Now that we know what she looks like, what is the point of not showing the people that you are the one doing the voice? She's exposed already.

Perhaps it has to do with the magic of it? It may sound stupid, but seeing someone do the voice of an animated character sometimes makes the character a little less ...er... alive in its own right.

Maybe she feels that way about it. Of course, Marge and them aren't THAT different from her normal voice, so you could just rent a movie with her in it and see it that way Lol.

I know, she's really not making much of a stretch.

Just go watch an old rerun of Rhoda and she'll sound pretty much the same.
