Not really...(then again, I'm also interested in a future in that line of work, so of course I'd say that)

As for the question...

Hmmm (kind of tricky...two of the characters I'd be tempted to answer with work MUCH better in the original Japanese (one since it's from Getter Robo, the other because the character does a lot of singing...and frankly, I just can't top the original VA's musical abilities)...either

Kai Shiden (Mobile Suit Gundam...should they feel the need to redub the MSG movies...but even then they'd prob. still stick with Richard Cox, so I lose there)
or
Gainer Sanga (Overman King Gainer)

I think it would be fun to do the voice of That Man from Excel Saga, just so I could say lines like "That's what happens to anyone who crosses me, even God!"

Him or any dark, brooding characters, especially villains. I can make my voice pretty menacing sometimes.

You wouldn't want me to play anyone.

Uncle Milo has actually done some voices in anime so that qualifies him doesn't it ^_^ I don't think he's done any major roles but I think he pays the union dues...if you didn't know that is a cery important step if you want to work most anywhere in the tv/film industry.

That is unless you just want to say:

How would you like your coffe Mr. Speilburg?

Considering the way Milo is, he'd pay the dues even if he didn't do any voice work

Maybe but so would anyone actually. You have to be in a union to work, it's not very smart to pay your dues....since to accept a job you have to be in one. Not a thing you want to haggle with if someone offers you a job.

I'm going to be joining a union here soon and pay to get my resume up on maslow media...that way I can list it on the resume and go get a job on a whim. There's a production shoot I'd love to submit to starting later this month....if only...I had the cash now....Same case when FedEx offered me a job in commercial production last year. They couldn't pay my relocation costs...can you imagine how much it hurt to turn down a job like that?

Me = crushed by a heavy lourde

....

um...I meant it's not very smart to not pay your dues.

It's also not very smart to post after a full days work and not much sleep...

I don't know - the union I'm in kind of sucks ass. You know it's bad when the union rep is accusing you of being aloof from the other employees (like it matters if I am, or is pertinent to my work problem), AND THEN he wants you to hand out cards for recruiting.

I told him good day and never bothered with the cards.

ahh. Well I believe that is a different kind of union. Teamsters type unions are organized crime wrapped in a law wrapped in an excuse.

I'll have to excercise my vocal cords.
