I liked Bloo's voice in the earlier episodes! - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

*Note: This topic is about the episodes in general, not a specific episode. If this has to be moved to the "Foster's Discussion", I'm all for it. *

In the earlier episodes, Bloo's voice sounds different. Maybe it's just me, but I think there is a difference and I used to long for the old voice after it changed. I'm fine with the new voice now, but man, that old one just fit The Bloo Q so well, espicially in the first scene of the Foster's movie, in which he is teasing Terrance. Aw man, classical voice work.

Is there a new voice actor for the newer episodes, or did the producers just demand a different voice?

Thanks.

Nope, it's the same voice actor.
I personally prefer Bloo's newer voice, the high pitched whiny-ness just fits Bloo's personality perfectly

I like both voices, but I think I liked his old voice a bit better for some reason.

Same goes for Mac.

Mac's old voice made him seem so much younger- it's actually getting harder as time goes on to believe he's only eight (ignore the b-day episode...)

That, and he's getting more sarcastic and using bigger words (at least, from what I've seen)

Maybe that's it. Maybe they changed the voices to better suit the characters. After all, Mac is a lot more mature than Bloo, thus, less kiddish voice. Bloo is more childish in the episodes after the first few, so his voice gets higher.

It's the same guy; being Keith Ferguson. He's simply getting better with the voice, and developing a better way of providing the voice of Blooregard Q. Kazoo. That's how it is. Also, as for Mac, Sean Marquette is almost 19. Anyone that can still do a great job providing the voice for everyone's favorite 8-year-old boy gets an A+, IMO.

I believe both gentlemen are doing a great job.

I personally like Bloo's new voice too, the old voice dosen't fit his new personality.

It's common for a voice actor to "settle" into a role and the voice to therefore change somewhat. If Bloo is Ferguson's first role (and he is, isn't he?) it would be even more expected. I know that in the Beetlejuice cartoon (my favorite cartoon, shut up) Stephen Ouimette, the voice of BJ, started the series trying to sound as much like Michael Keaton as he could; but over time he let the character become his, and in my opinion made the character even better though his performance alone. He even started letting his background as a Shakespearian actor show through, which was even more awesome.

I mean, I can understand someone preferring an earlier version of a delivery, but...time goes on.

I personally like Bloo's voice better now. I love his old voice, but this one seems to suit him better.

Mr. Marshmallow · 05-03-2007, 05:46 PM

I honestly am glad Bloo's voice changed and Mac's as well. In truth, this is something you commonly see on TV shows. When a show begins it takes voice actors time to "find their voice" so to speak and see which voice works better and how to improve it.

Frylock from Aqua teen Hunger force had a similar problem. Watch the ATHF's first episode and you'll see Frylock's voice is very different then what it is today. I love Bloo know because he's really perfected that sassy, giddy screaming maniac that he's become today.

But in truth, Mac's vocal improvements are much more admirable. In the beginning Mac kind of sounded like either a tomboy girl, or younger then his actual age in the show. By the time Mac's actor got it right, Mac sounded great and he especially provided some kick ass "wild screams".

Like in "Squeeze the day" and "Bus the two of us".
