“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

One man, five voices

So there I was, watching the beginning of Transformers One, when a bit of a nostalgia kick made me go back to that legendary video of the late, great Peter Cullen explaining how he came up with the voice of Optimus Prime. That, naturally, led me to a video of Frank Welker explaining how he came up with the voice of Megatron.

And, my word, it is amazing:

Comment after comment notes that his regular speaking voice is literally Fred from the Scooby-Doo cartoons, which is mind-blowing to me, since I grew up watching those old goofy Hannah-Barbera series.

That, right there, is TALENT.
