1. Troy Baker
Say hello to the master of video game voiceovers, the ever-spunky Troy Baker. His voice is a work of art, in all respects.
Troy can charm his way into your heart and then, in the blink of an eye, make you frightened for your life. If you don’t believe me, just read the article about his Far Cry audition.
Recently, his creep factor was amped up by his voice work as the DC Animated Joker, but it’s made up for with a real-life personality that’s absolutely adorkable in all the right ways.
Gilbert Gottfried, Jeff Goldblum, Al Pacino, Patrick Warburton, and Aaron Neville are just a few hilarious impersonations on his list, and his deep voice resonates on a hypnotic, techno-rock album.
That’s right. Mister tall, blonde, and gorgeous is a pretty darned good singer, too.
2. Steve Blum
Our next contender, Steve Blum, holds the Guinness World Record for Most Video Game Voice Actor Roles. How’s that for awesome? Still, part of me thinks he should hold the record for Sexiest Raspy Voice.
Because that’s what everyone loves him for. Throughout his career, this anime and video game veteran has portrayed a ton of characters including Spike Spiegel (Cowboy Bebop), T.O.M. (Cartoon Network’s Toonami block), Wolverine (X-Men animated series), Starscream (Transformers: Prime), and Zeb Orrelios (Star Wars: Rebels).
Plus, he does an awesome Goofy impression. Fun, right?
3. Sean Schemmel
Imagine if Leonard from The Big Bang Theory had a super tall, super handsome fraternal twin brother. That’s the best way to describe Sean Schemmel. Hardcore anime fans know and love him as the voice of Goku and King Kai from the smash-hit Dragon Ball Z TV series and movies.
He’s continued to capture our hearts with his charming, childish, sweet voice since the 80s and 90s, but who were we to know that he had curly black hair and crystal green eyes to go along with that voice?
It was a major surprise for me as well, but a pleasant one. Like Goku, Sean is a big kid with a heart of gold, and he doesn’t hesitate to goof around or crack jokes.
4. Nolan North
Since the 2016 Deadpool movie turned out to be a hit, the character’s become a phenomenon once again. But do you know who made the character incredibly popular in animation?
Nolan North, that’s who. This Port Charles cast member has a unique style of humor that is purely, delightfully insane. On screen or behind the mic, Nolan is a comedic genius with a flair for drama.
So I guess you could say he’s the perfect guy to voice the Merc with a Mouth. He’s cocky, charming, and handsome. What else can you say but…fancy!

5. Jess Harnell
Here’s quick recipe: mix together two helpings of Robert Downey Jr. and Jeffrey Dean Morgan and sprinkle in the hair of Kenny G. The results? Our final contender on the list: Jess Harnell, the rock star of voice acting.
He’s portrayed a ton of famous characters including Wakko Warner (Animaniacs), Ironhide (Transformers film series), and Crash Bandicoot (Crash Bandicoot games), and has been the narrator for America’s Funniest Home Videos since 1998.
And for lovers of the classics, you can hear Jess perform as the frontman for Rock Sugar, an LA-based heavy metal band best known for their album Reimaginator, a fun, heart-pounding work of pop-mashup wonder.
Jess has the voice of an angel and the rugged good looks to match. And his personality is permanently set to warp speed.
