I feel like both Grant's and Takashi's takes on DK are pretty good! I really like how both of them attempted to do a more cartoonish voice for the ape.
I’m more into Soupy and Grant’s DK voices. I just like the general idea of DK being a very likable goofball because just by being himself, he is a cool guy for this reason (much like Richard Epcar’s Bo-Bobo voice); a complete opposite of Richard Yearwood, where it feels that DK is an unlikable moron, because he’s trying to hard to be cool for no reason.
@@Liggliluff The problem is that Nagasako's DK voice is too Goofy to work in a fighting game. Nintendo confirmed that DK was inspired by King Kong, so it makes sense that DK would be more serious if the focus is combat.
@@orangeslash1667 Eh, the game is not that serious. There's a lot of goofy characters so I think that was a bad move on their part. Robbed us from seeing Dk going "Okay!" while taunting.
@@rocketleax5 Sakurai wanted DK's personally to be like his arcade game incarnation, which was also inspired by King Kong. Why because his arcade game design is much larger than the Country design, which makes it easier to work in a fighting game format. Sakurai likes to simplify characters if it's the easy answer.
@@orangeslash1667Diddy, Bowser, K. Rool, and Dedede also got the same treatment to their voices as DK. I wish they didn’t make that decision because it kinda takes away a bit of the charm of those characters. Not to mention, characters like Banjo and Bowser Jr. have their voices unchanged.
There is a lot of charm in the dk 64 Donkey Kong voice, but I do really like the modern ones laugh and monkey screams. The Mario Striker games have to be the modern voice at it's best if you ask me.
Chirs Sutherland did many voices for the SNES DKC games, so it wouldn't be that outlandish to consider the idea that he might have also done DK's grunts there. His various Kremling voices are truly legendary
Probably depends on your age tbh. The first ones I think of after the "hey-he" are the ones from Retro's DKC games since I've heard them so much whenever starting a level.
10:00 I believe they just wanted to take a new direction with Donkey Kong's voice - like you said, new voice samples for new games. Grant's voice was also used in 2010's Mario Vs. DK Mini-Land Mayhem (alongside Nagasako), and an E3 demo for Jungle Beat used Grant's samples as well.
imo Takashi's voice is a more refined, more animalistic take on what Grant started. You can hear a lot of the same personality, just expanded upon to fit DK more as a character. His newer voice is awesome and it's my favorite. But it wouldn't be here without what Grant started.
Also I don't feel like the voices divert enough to be nearly as jarring. Also Grant not being a voice actor plays it it not being as refined, but I think you can tell his voice clips did have some influence on how modern DKs voice sounds.
Not completely Donkey Kong related, but my grandmother actually met Soupy Sales (supercade Donkey Kong’s voice) when she was a little girl. Her parents had connections in show biz lol
For the clip at 1:38, that's actually Levi Stubbs from an ep where Mother Brain, DK and Gameboy switch bodies, though Garry Chalk does voice him normally in that show.
What I really like about both Grant and Takashi's voices is that they bring out different facets of DK's personality. Grant's deep voice represents DK's relaxed but more simpleton mannerisms while Takashi just goes ham and represents DK's more playful, mischievous and animalistic side, they're both great in their own right
To add to the list of voices, Charles Martinet, yes that Charles Martinet, also voiced Donkey Kong for the Mario in Real Time event. Here's an example of his voice for the character: ua-cam.com/video/NcdkFsVFzMI/v-deo.html
I was hoping you'd mention DKC as well. DK does technically have a voice in that game - when he's hurt, when he does his chest-pounding idle animation, when he's calling out from inside a DK Barrel, and possibly other times I can't remember.
That silly little "huagh huagh" noise DK used to make in the N64 games never fails to make me laugh... I like how every rendition of DK gives him a different personality. Or, indeed, aspects of his personality! Grant's DK is my favourite, but I love the cartoon too so Richard and Sterling are high on my list as well. Again, both media give the character a different vibe, but it fits regardless, I think. ...I've never seen Captain N, even though I own a cel of DK from it - but that voice coming from him sounded.... really weird, lol. I love DK a lot and am happy to see you cover him in this episode!
Grant Kirkhope wrote the DK rap, voiced donkey Kong, made the soundtrack for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and made 2 Dream SMP songs. I just keep learning more about this guy.
What an obscure story, can't believe I watched this video all the way to the end. :D To be honest, Donkey Kong's modern voice fits his character the best!
My grade school years were (basically) the 1980's, so naturally I watched Saturday Morning Supercade, a programming block of cartoons based on video games. I had no idea Soupy Sales was DK in that show.
It feels weird the sounds in DKC 1-3 were just skipped in this video. :O They're more than just robotic beeps, and maybe even used animal sounds before Mario Kart 64 did. It's kinda hard to tell what Rare did or used for that...
You forgot to talk about the dkc series on super Nintendo, for example the sound dk make when he dies, as well as when you don't move for awhile and then he start banging his chest, or when his eyes pop out when you're on the edge about to fall down 😂😉🙈🙉🙊👏
I grew up playing the dk 64 game so that voice is always the one I think of. I still have the "ooooh banana" sound play in my head quite often when I find bananas in a game lol But Takashi's voice is, imo, close enough in spirit that it doesn't take away from the Grant's voice :)
OMG THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!! It's weird because yesterday I was wondering who voiced DK in MP1 and MP2 and was kinda hoping you made a video on it!
Grant probably gets my soft spot, but I can’t deny that Takashi does a fantastic Kong, correctly pointed out as very Scooby-like. The sampled Gorilla noises are very funny to me and do the job pretty well too, I think the only mainline voices that don’t work for me are the strange Bowser-sounding smash voice clips.
Was anyone else kind of scared of Donkey Kong's voice in the N64 and Game Cube games? Idk why, but it always terrified me as a kid when I heard those noises lol
To me honestly his canon voice will always be Grant Kirkhope that's literally how a talkative DK should sound like,i mean c'mon how can you hear the "OKAAAY" and the "COOOOL" lines and say it's not the best one? Lol But regardless,as much as i prefer Grant,i've gotten used to Nagasako he does a great job at the role even though i much prefer a speaking DK.
I wish they kept DK64's voice, he sounds very cool and makes DK sound more intimidating, I don't hate the current voice but I don't really care for it, he just sounds goofy now
Absolutely. His neutral voice has similar energy to Grant Kirkhope's DK, while his raw raging screams for characters like Joe Swanson gives some strong Nagasako vibes. The best of both worlds. Tho, The Rock would be the next best choice to me personally.
Yes, we did go to the zoo and observe the gorillas, but found that when they did move it was completely unsuitable for a fast-paced video game, so all of the animation had to be done by hand," he says. "We went through about 15 different versions of how DK could move. DK's movement in the final game is based loosely on how a horse moves, but I recall laughing at some of the other animal-themed attempts - including a rabbit and a frog." I read this once and misremembered and thought it was for the voice
wait a minute, you jump all the way from the 80s-90s cartoons to MarioKart64? what about the "hirkey-hickey" and "oof!" noises he made in DonkeyKongCountry? (or at least, thats MY name for when DK beats a boss or a bonus level, and starts posing for the 4th Wall while the fanfare plays-- 'hirkey hirkey hirk, hickey hickey hickey hick!'...or when hes trapped in a DK-Barrel, '[thump thump] hirk-hirk-hirk?')
Diddy was originally voiced by Chris Sutherland, he also voiced Chunky Kong, Lanky Kong, and even King K Rool. After the Rare buyout, Diddy would then be played by Katsumi Suzuki. However in Smash bros they would use Chimpanzee sounds. Rare confirmed that they originally were going to use Donkey Kong Jr. for DK's partner but Nintendo would not allow it, so Rare made to create their own character( Diddy Kong).
The gorilla sounds at 11:40 sound like the kleer skeletons from Serious Sam. I am pretty sure that this was a Sound Ideas Library, very common and wide spread back then.
I really LOVE all of your videos!! I've been watching most of them for the last few days- its so soothing to listen to you talking about my most beloved topic 💖
Grant Kirkhope DK all the way for me. Because that's just how I imagined a Donkey Kong would sound like if it ever talks or grunts. A total brute, a banana brain, and an absolute bro. But the main Japanese guy who voices DK today is starting to grow on me, albeit still a bit weird in the ears to hear sometimes.
I regularly visit buffets in different cities around the states. Before I go to a buffet, I will place 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. After entering the buffet, I sneak the corndogs into some of the fried food section trays. It is such a joy for me to see other customers of the buffet eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.
DK Country cartoon was not only dubbed to french and japanese, also into Spanish, both latin Spanish and European Spanish. I know since I've watched it in European Spanish when I was a Kid, and was later re-run in Latin Spanish.
Hey, Thomas. You know what would make a great video in the "why doesn't X sound like X used to" category? One on Samus Aran from the Metroid series. There may be only a few voice actresses from the series, in both Japanese and English, but they would make a great video, considering their history in voice acting.
A weird but pretty decent DK DS game in which you have to use the L/R buttons to control DK's hands was my first experience with a DK game with voice acting, so Takashi's voice is DK's voice to me, but I can't deny how iconic Grant Kirkhope's take is!
0:14 *I guess Scooby-Doo was Donkey Kong at one point.* For those that are confused by the joke, there used to be a theory floating around stating that Scooby-Doo used to be a human but he costumed some kind of potion that turned him into a dog.

Nagasako sounds more natural, but Kirkhope's "OKAY" is so iconic that I can't help but love both of them
Shame they wouldn't use Nagasako for Smash Bros and have him imitate that "OKAY" for a taunt

And apparently he thinks of it as Eh, banana.

Yeah. I'm sure you're familiar with Chris Sutherland; he also voiced Banjo and Kazooie from the Banjo-Kazooie series by Rare.
@@yellohammer8571 Chris also played King K Rool.
And the killer instinct announcer
3:44 That's a very famous sound effect, it's used VERY commonly in cartoons for chimp and monkey screeches.
It sounds very strange
They both sounded great. The “HEY-HE” is probably the first voice line you’d think of, but honestly most of grants are the next ones to mind.
“OH-KAY!”
DK’s “OK” is definitely his most famous voice line
The first one I think of is actually one of DK's hurt sounds from DKC Returns. I always thought it sounded funny. "Hreh!"
Probably depends on your age tbh. The first ones I think of after the "hey-he" are the ones from Retro's DKC games since I've heard them so much whenever starting a level.

Been loving the "Why doesn't X sound like they used to?" series. Definitely unique content and really informative
Yeah
@I Z yeah
I know Grant hasn’t recorded the voice for DK since the 90’s but whenever I think of DK, I always thank if that one “Okay!” voice line every time.
It's too iconic
@@gacd2104 yeah

DK's Voice from DK64 is very iconic for me (same stands for Diddy) but his current voice is great.

He's about to sound worse than he's ever been when that movie comes out. He'll have Seth Rogan's laugh.
We don’t know yet
Or better lmao, we gotta wait until Spring 2023
Bros boutta evolve into a whole human say goodbye to the ape we know
What do you mean?! That shits gonna be hilarious lmao
No. No. There is no Mario movie.
No.

Finally! Thanks for this long-awaited video (:
Every time I heard “Meh-rio” instead of Mario I contemplated drinking a pint of drain cleaner
What an obscure story, can't believe I watched this video all the way to the end. :D
To be honest, Donkey Kong's modern voice fits his character the best!
9:17 weird choice considering before this he only played minor 1 off villains Gannon is the series villain
God I love this channel so much. It always feel like such a sweet,relaxing and entertaining episode
1:56 You absolute madlad
My grade school years were (basically) the 1980's, so naturally I watched Saturday Morning Supercade, a programming block of cartoons based on video games. I had no idea Soupy Sales was DK in that show.
you can't deny that the donkey kong country show music actually bopped
The Man who provided donkey Kong's singing voice also sang the zoboomafoo theme.
Grant is the best, I even mastered the okay line
I was literally thinking when this video was going to drop the other day. Good stuff
It feels weird the sounds in DKC 1-3 were just skipped in this video. :O They're more than just robotic beeps, and maybe even used animal sounds before Mario Kart 64 did. It's kinda hard to tell what Rare did or used for that...
I thought the same thing. The video feels off by saying “no voice in the games until mk64”
Yeah I hated that, I was expecting those games analysis the most :(
I've been grinding your vids, loving them!
The deep beep sound that Donkey Kong makes is terrifying for some reason.
The cgi show is the true voice no doubt
0:47 I thought the beep sound meant you had to save Lady, and I still do to this day.
You forgot to talk about the dkc series on super Nintendo, for example the sound dk make when he dies, as well as when you don't move for awhile and then he start banging his chest, or when his eyes pop out when you're on the edge about to fall down 😂😉🙈🙉🙊👏
@1:58 excellent vibes over this track ^^
Finnaly another voice evolution video
I grew up playing the dk 64 game so that voice is always the one I think of. I still have the "ooooh banana" sound play in my head quite often when I find bananas in a game lol
But Takashi's voice is, imo, close enough in spirit that it doesn't take away from the Grant's voice :)
Garry Chalk voiced DK once?
Damn, now I want an Optimus Primal figure that transforms into Donkey Kong.
Doney kong voice has changed so much!

The Donkey Kong voice in his own cartoon will be canon to me.
I did a double-take at the Captain N voice lmaoo
Wow I never new donkey kong had a scooby doo type of voice
I’m Canadian and even I didn’t know the Donkey Kong County show was Canadian based and I used to love that show

It's perfect
love these voice evolutions
Was anyone else kind of scared of Donkey Kong's voice in the N64 and Game Cube games? Idk why, but it always terrified me as a kid when I heard those noises lol
I grew up with both DK64 and the current voice for DK, I personally love them!
Donkey Kong: RUH HEEEEEY
That Donkey Kong Country show might just be the most cursed thing I've ever seen.
6:57 that fall sound is forever the funniest thing i will ever hear
I didnt expect to get aerial spammed by Diddy in the middle of the video. Great video btw
In Mario Kart 64 I thought Yoshi's voice was a collection of sound effects, too.
Lmao, yesterday I looked up who voiced Donkey Kong in the games because I was curious.
To me honestly his canon voice will always be Grant Kirkhope that's literally how a talkative DK should sound like,i mean c'mon how can you hear the "OKAAAY" and the "COOOOL" lines and say it's not the best one? Lol

"ey diddy, come on up little buddeh"
The audio used for DK in Mario Kart 64 was also used in one episode of "The Emperor's New School."
As hilarious as Kirkhope's DK sounds, I much prefer DK going full-on monke. He sounds so savage!
Why does TGD sound the same?

This is my favorite series on your channel. I'm a voice actor and I love hearing about the decisions that get made by these companies 😁
I believe Patrick Warburton would make the best voice for a Talking Donkey Kong. Richard Yearwood is a great two.
Absolutely. His neutral voice has similar energy to Grant Kirkhope's DK, while his raw raging screams for characters like Joe Swanson gives some strong Nagasako vibes. The best of both worlds.
Tho, The Rock would be the next best choice to me personally.
Please do a video on Ganondorf's voices
I'll always love the sound of Kirkhope's DK the most, but I totally understand people preferring the more ape like sounds of Nagasako.

It was a dark day in the video game world when Rare was bought out by Microsoft
I have never, in my LIFE, heard of Saturday Supercade, nor did I know there was this much animated materials of the original mario design, WHAT!?

There's also a German dub
Mario Power Tennis voices clips of Donkey Kong sound similar to Grant Kirkhoope voices from Donkey Kong 64.
Surprised the donkey kong series only came into only Canada I also had the nice experience of actually watching the series
You forgot about Donkey Kong Country in which Chris Sutherland did the voice for Donkey Kong.
My favorite voice of DK is definitely Takashi's voice, as DKCR was the FIRST VIDEO GAME I EVER PLAYED. EVER
