- Close your eyes for just a second. Is that a dinosaur we hear? A turkey? A baby baboon? No, it’s all Dee Bradley Baker, a voice actor known for Hollywood’s monsters, creatures and animals. You may have enjoyed his vocal stylings as Perry the Platypus on “Phineas and Ferb,” Klaus the Fish on “American Dad” or Daffy Duck on “Space Jam.” Or maybe you’re a fan of Squidward’s arch-rival Squilliam Fancyson on “Spongebob Squarepants.” We could go on and on. Baker invites us into the recording studio to watch him at work. Wait ‘til you see how he uses his nose.

He didn’t even mention that he’s EVERY CLONE TROOPER from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars: Rebels and Star Wars: Battlefront 2
Oh crap I hear it now
Morrison is the real actor behind the masks
@@elmerjfapp5730 Not from The Clone Wars.
Elmer J Fapp yeah but Baker is the one who gave each clone their own feel. He made the clones more than just expendables.
Where I know him from.
*Careful, he’s a hero*
Ok but who's joe doe?😳
the fk dude... ur name
I have to wait 90 days to change my name how lmao
Btw you havent changed your name and its been 90 days so your a fraud
@@netardedrigger9683 Joe mama
Dee Bradley Baker: I voice monsters
Every clone: maybe I am a monster
Ikr xD
In order 66
Good soldiers follow orders
Fuck! I read that in their voice.. haha
Better than storm troopers
Don’t forget, he voiced every clone in the clone wars and rebels
And Bossk I believe!
@@StrivedeLaLear yup.
And butchered the accent
How the hell did he voice over a million clones?!?!?!
He's voiced basically every clone in star wars games shows and movies
Well if it isnt my old nemesis, Perry the platypus
I literally heard doofenshmirtz voice reading that😂
CURSE YOU PERRY THE PLATYPUUUUUUUUUS!
Human Perry the Platypus!?!
We meet again Doof.
Didn't Know That Dee Bradley Baker Voiced Perry..
Voice actors are consistently among the weirdest of all actors.....I like that
well, when you gotta do so many roles...
You underestimate actors hahaha
@@nekotori7043 those are my favourite voice actors
I feel their work Is extra hard because they only hace their voice to convince you
My number one dream job. Not just because I can replicate cartoon voices ( Just check my video when I was in Walt Disney World ) but because I sometimes come up with my own voices too. 😊
I love people in the comments saying, “Are we just gonna ignore the fact he played so-and-so in such-and-such?!?!” When he literally voiced everything. It be ridiculous to mention them all. He’s a legend.
A legend indeed. I can only wish to have a fraction of that love and passion for what I do for a living. Just wish I could find that to do so I don't have to work for a day the rest of my life. 💖
Ok but in their defense, he was a man of a thousand voice for the clones in Star Wars
Yep, he's literally THE most prolific voice actor of all time. There's not a single voice actor with more voice credits than Dee Bradley Baker
@@RockOrgan He's also voiced several other characters too in the shows, such as Bossk and many of the Geonosians too, I believe.
You're absolutely right, Dylan, but at the same time, you just can't talk about Dee Bradley Baker without talking about Star Wars. He's done a lot of little stuff and a lot of major stuff over the years, but Star Wars is *one of the most major* things there is, lol. How can you not even at least mention that in a 3 minute video? He literally voiced all the clones in Rebels, The Clone Wars and the new Battlefront 2 game. Those shows and that game are some of the biggest Star Wars properties that have come out in recent years, especially The Clone Wars, with how so many from all over love it to death, including myself, haha. ;)
Voiceover actors have the best of both worlds most of the time. They act on famous shows and they can go grocery shopping without getting mauled by fans.
Plus they get paid a lot as well. It's the dream!
what worlds?
@@kevin084life HAHAHAHAHA that's a good one. Most don't get paid squat. Only the ones that are booking regularly get paid a lot
@@kevin084lifeonly the good ones do tbh, rest of them barely make that much
I wonder if this guy just talks to himself in various cartoon character's voices when he's alone lol
He played every Clone in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, they literally paid him to talk to himself 😂
I bet he does!
That would probably honestly be entertaining
i mean.. wouldn't you?
It’s what I would do
he didn’t mention it here but he also did appa and momo from avatar!! they’re some of my favorite characters he did :’)
honeypeach Omg he’s a hero
he's holding a plush tho!!!
Mia S - he is! I just meant they didn’t actually talk about it (also I would do anything to get that plush it’s so cute)
I was gonna say, where is the mention of Appa and Momo, it's where I learnt his name because "Dee Bradley Baker" was so weird, and whenever I see him in credits or something I get hella excited.
*o* *m* *g*
I recognised his voice straight away as some of the spongebob extras
Mason S I heard that too
Your avatar, no
BIG MEATY CLAWS
oh damn yeah fr
Is he the “MY LEG!” Guy?
Keep in mind this dude also voiced the Gravemind in Halo 2 and Halo 3, it almost sounds like he does two voices at the same time when he did the voice lines.
I'm disappointed that more people don't mention the gravemind
Finally, I searched for this comment! Aye, such shame, his voice really brought to life the interstellar horror that was Gravemind.
@@farisanwari777 I searched for this comment too! I’m actually practicing my grave mind impression and I’m getting pretty good. Not as awesome as him though. I’m making my own grave mind lines for a halo story I’m starting
THERE WE GO! YOU SIR ARE THE ONE I NEEDED
He does two voices at once with the gravemind. I’ve seen some raw recording footage when he was working on Halo 2 and he somehow does the deep voice and this weird higher harmonised voice at the same time. Then the flood sounds he does are added in over his voice and it creates that brilliant gravemind sound. He’s incredibly good
Most VAs: I took a lot of classes, theater, acting etc.
DBB: Yo, check out these ants.
DBB also did theater....
@@Butterflier00 hes trying to make a joke
I can see this guy having alot of fun with prank calls.
Yes
L0ST S0UL I wish Olmec would prank call me
_”S Q U I L L I A M F A N C Y S O N”_
Him, Phil Lamar, and John DiMaggio could voice an entire movie by themselves, sound effects and all
D a mn
What was the movie o-o
@@ileanabriannemari They said COULD voice an entire movie
Guest starring Michael Winslow
That needs to happen.
Tom Kenny as well!
This man played a large part in my childhood and adolescence and I never even knew about him until now
Same dude, same!
I CONSTANTLY saw his name all over every show I watched and now I know what his face looks like
How About Part 2
Is everyone just ignoring that he casually did the fly voice from Emperor's New Groove?
NO
I KNEW IT.
Omg i thought i was the only one who noticed! Lmao
Yes
and even that was a call-back to The Fly with Jeff Goldblum.
whys everybody ignoring he did appa AND momo in the last airbender
I was just gonna say!!
Ikr
And appo
And the secret tunnel guy
@@chuckleberry2142 wait REALLY? 🤯
I deadass just realized he that fish who convinced spongebob and Patrick to keep buying his chocolate and other stuff
Oh shit
*Tara Strong:* _I have some of the best and the most unique voices for your childhood..._
*Me, as an intellectual:* [platypus noises intensifies]
She has done a lot if characters though. Man it seems like there are only a handful of voices actors in the business with every other person having done a ton of notable cartoon characters. Maybe I should give a crack at the voice acting business.
Hey, then go for it. Everyone’s gotta start somewhere, even if that somewhere just happens to be at home watching something awesome.
i like food yeah I noticed when he had the appa plush
He didn't even bring up my favorite voice of his: Numbuh 4
@@dcb99filmz Well, that's just a load of crud!
DEE BRADLEY BAKER FINALLY GETTING SOME RECOGNITIONS
He also did Appa and Momo from Avatar
and the clone troopers
Absolutely agree! Awesome guy, big fan of his :D
Lester Koh and the German guy who likes cheese burgers in code named kid next door.
He's every clone Trooper in the clone wars
And the gravemind from halo
I feel like this isn't even a third of the things he does.
He's also the clones from all of star wars shows and games
Your feeling is correct. Basically every time you hear a 'strange' creature in a movie or video game, you're hearing this guy's voice.
There's literally a whole seperate Wikipedia page for his filmography. This isn't even scraping the surface of his work lmao
Don't forget Frank Welker.
It's crazy how this guy's not only any animal, but also a talking goldfish, a whole stormtrooper army, an Australian kid who's a spy, a villain who worries about constipation, and a platypus who's a secret agent.
And Halo's Gravemind
Here's is an innovative person who isn't working in fortune 500 companies and making loads of money, but is providing value to the society
He *is* making loads of money, though.
Yeah his house says it all
@@humpty4205 what's wrong with making money
@@megascizor8275 no there is nothing with it but it should not be the only things used to define others or yourself. Always ask yourself 'without .......... , who or what am i'.
Not providing value to society. Sounds like a smart thing to say, makes no sense at all.
Hes rich from going to the studio and being as weird as possible. He's my hero
"Look around. We're one in the same. Same heart, same blood. Your training is in your blood, and my bloods boiling for a fight."
Hard to believe this guy voices the Charger in L4D2. I know he does the Spitter and Jockey as well, but those vocals still sound very human; the Charger vocals sound monstrous and inhuman. Such a talent.
He also did atlas and p-body in portal 2
Where do I apply to become his next-door neighbor?
uekiguy WHATCH YA DOIN?
It will be interesting if he become a storyteller to kids 😆
He's a creepy nerd
Wtf
Borat. Sagdiyev you’re edgy
Im not tryna hear a damn dinosaur at 3am in the morning, being scared to death and than remembering i live next to him 😂
Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated...after hours
Are you the real KIM JONG UN?
Hi *t h i c c b o y k i m*
What a week!! What are the chances if me running into the real kurt Cobain, and now the real Kim Jong-un?
South Korea's best. 😒😒
I saw he had the plushie but can't believe he didn't mention it - but this man is Appa and Momo in Avatar! Probably his most iconic characters! (and Naga, Pabu, and Tarrlock in Korra)
Hes also secret tunnel guy
What plushie. PERRY
Now I understand why he voiced so many of Ben 10's aliens. He knows how to make so many animal voices while also sounding otherworldly
How does he make cringey faces non cringey?!
Because he is a real artist
Becuz he owns those cringy faces
(As in he doesn't look awkward or embarrassed when he's doing them...it looks natural)
@@zak3172 i agree
He's also not doing them entirely on purpose. It helps him get into the persona and he probably does those faces every single time regardless if anyone is watching.
Lets be honest, how can you make sounds like that with a normal face.
You can't...
My childhood question is finally been answered.
No
hows it going daniel
And?
Why do I see you in every commeng section 😂
Yes.
Dee Bradley Baker is officially my hero. He's so amazingly talented in animal voice-acting, and now an amateur entomologist! Literally one of the coolest guys in the world.
Two things:
1. OLMEC IS FOREVER
2. This guy truly is a master of his craft.
We’re not gonna realize that bad ass clouse fish he had at his house?
klaus
Klaus
@@4fx4 clouse
@@rataye4527 Klaus
He has a bunch if his characters around his house. Dee probably walks around the house having conversations with them changing his voice between characters. At least i would if i were him.
This guy must be amazing at parties
*parties
A H I mean ya got Perry and that should be enough of a party trick but he is the ACTUAL VOICE ACTOR
@@JoshWitte and this guy is not
People's response to Joker's jokes
1:14
Next to Anthony Bourdain (R.I.P.), this guy has the best job ever. He has his own pimped out studio filled with replicas of creatures he’s voiced, gets to work from home (which looks lovely), the guy is living the American dream. I didn’t even know about him before, but from what I’ve seen, Dee Bradley Baker is the GOAT
I CANT BELIEVE HES KLAUS ON AMERICAN DAD, I LOVE THAT CHARACTER
If you've ever seen KnD, he's also Numbuh 4 and the Toilenator
Dude same and I think I just died and went to heaven.
And every clone trooper in clone wars
Seriously?! He's been Klause for over 10 yrs & his name is always on the credit at the beginning of the show
Same.
Just to know that this one man's voice has followed me through basically my entire life, through almost all of my favorite shows molding my humor into what it's today is completely outstanding. What an impact.
THIS MAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MY CHILDHOOD
Such an underrated Hollywood star. You can tell he loves what he does. Hopefully he get more recognition for his talent!
When he did that perch perkins voice it filled me with so much joyful nostalgia
It just made me smile instantly
He seems so animated as a person in general. So perfect for a voice acting job !
they forgot to mention that he voices all the Clones in The Clone Wars cartoon
0:03 me when my mom tells me to wake up from bed
Me: casually doing stuff on my computer.
Computer: Sorry, you do not have permission to do that.
Me: 3:17
Gaston The Dank 'Tiel its 2am im not aloud to laugh this hard
1:20 girls when they get logged out of Snapchat
lmfao
*w h a t d o y o u m e a n*
Bruh this made me laugh
Someone employ this man as their vocalist in a death metal band!!
Tom Maw facts
Tom Maw that would damage his vocals.
Lol, fr? 😂😂
I just found out he's the voice of the Clone Troopers in Bad Batch. He deserves an award. He is so so good!
He's the clone troopers in pretty much all the animated Star Wars shows :)
And Halo's Gravemind
Title Should Be: “Meet The Man Who Played All The Clones.”
2:55 is that a star wars the clone wars poster!
There's a Captain Rex helmet on the shelf to the upper right too!
Yep because he voiced every clones in the clone wars
@Sam Robinson wow, do you think he also voiced commander cody?
He must have very special feelings for voice-acting every clone in Star Wars. Amazing characters with such an incredible arc development. Captain Rex, Fives, Echo, 99, Jesse, The Bad Batch, Cody, etc.
Dee Bradley Baker, what a legend!
He also plays the clone troopers from Star wars the clone wars and he plays the Gravemind from Halo.
finally someone who knew about the clone troopers!
Manuel Moreno, I was looking for this comment!
Ahh halo the center piece to my childhood
Finally! Recognition for the grave mind!
Also variks from destiny
With his marvelous portrayal of all the clones in The Clone Wars (and Rebels), this man has made me cry more than ANY other actor EVER. I've known Dee's name and some of his roles for years and years, but never realized until this year just HOW much I've heard him over the course of my life. The man is truly a genius and I love him and his work. Also, peep that Rex helmet on his entertainment center!!
One of the voice actors I have the most respect for. Man was a huge part of the shows I watched growing up and is super talented.
He reminds me of Frank Welker, when he did a lot of voices, before Dee Bradley Baker. Also, I liked his voices as Captain Rex, clone troopers, Perry the platypus, Daffy Duck, and other characters.
Numbuh 4 of the KND
@@danielvillalobos4265 don't forget he's Fred Jones!
Y’all remember the DNAliens from Ben 10? He did all those and a lot of the aliens voices too.
Yes alot of people in Ben 10
Besides like a whole bunch,he's also voiced Ben's aliens XD
You can clearly hear Lonestar
You can clearly hear his normal voice when Ben turns into Water Hazard and Lode Star
He's a clone trooper too
I literally fangirl when I heard him do perry 😆
I CLICKED THIS SO FAST I FREAKING LOVE DEE BRADLEY BAKER!!! THANK YOU FOR DOING A VIDEO ON HIM
Omg he voices a genetically mutated hamster from the moon 😂
Fun fact he voiced the grave mind from halo
Absolutely incredible range and skill showcased here. This man is a treasure to the voice acting industry, and a lot of peoples’ hearts. Very cool video.
He also was in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and played Rex and the other clones.
Every* clone lol
Actually, all the clones
Am I the only one who tried sounding like Perry the platypus before?
I can do it
@@jessicajayes8326 Show me😂
No, but you probably would be the only one if you weren't.
No, and I will never give up.
The cricket sounds he can do blows me away. His Appa and Momo are some of my favorites! He's seriously one of my VA inspirations!
this guy is one of my favorites along with justin cook because he is such a large ham in any role he plays which makes his performances really enjoyable for me to listen to... like him and justin cook influence my line delivery because I want to have as much fun as them when it comes to chewing up the scenery and screaming my lungs out for a character.
From doing Perry the platypus everyone's favorite animal
To taking muggies of insects
How the times have changed
Did he do appa from Avatar The Last Airbender?
And Momo
Oh my goood I had no idea he was so versatile. He had definatly changed my life :)
He also did Chong the nomad in book 2
Not only that, he's the Secret Tunnel guy.
As well as Pabu, Naga, and Tarrlok in Legend of Korra
I originally knew him as Appa & Momo from Avatar: The Last Airbender, and then watched American Dad and was like "This guy voices people too??" what a legend, nothing he can't do
This guy is so pure!! 🤗
That's cool, used to watch Legends of the Hidden Temple.
Dam good VA, one of the best! Hope to do some VA work in the near future. People like him are always an inspiration.
This guy is simply amazing!!!So much of fluidity in all his voices.So talented!He is America's national treasure!
Omg this guy was a legend of my childhood and I didn’t even know it
"Help mee!!!" - "I'll get you my pretty..." wa my favorite part :'D
His nose must hurt after all of that voice acting
Edit: uuum why do i almost have 1000 likes?
LPS kitty He probably got used to do It.
Good
I was going to like until your stupid edit
@@pollutedcrimson i was gona subscribe until i saw you make bad car stuff videos :)

Dee you are living every childhood dream job, kudos my friend!
1:17 when you smell the bacon cooking in the grill
Imagine how much fun his son will have when they play with toys together
Dee Bradley Baker is the only guy qualified enough to voice the clones no other guy can replace him
This man's voice has been following me since my childhood up to now at 37. I'm not sure that there's anyone as prolific as he in the field of voice acting, and the more I dig the more my mind is blown lol.
Wow he is so cool
He was also the voice of Gravemind from Halo 2
Legends of the hidden temple was one of my favorite shows as a kid in the 90s you're an incredible voice actor man
big thanks to this great man for techies voice. you made a huge job!
I was hoping he would reference The Clone Wars
Yep
So glad Dee is getting some recognition! He deserves it
Had the pleasure of meeting him at Comic-Con this year. He's one of my idols. Such an amazing guy.
I always thought that they were using sound effects. He's amazing.
Dee Bradley Baker is one of my favorite voice actors out there. I'm happy you guys made a video with him.
Me:You look familiar
Dee Bradley Baker:*Hammond Noises*
Me:Oh
I nearly lost my shit when he said Perry the platypus! That's so cool
There's no better way to put it than: he is perfectly perfect for the job he is doing! The most passionate for his invented passion - awesome! Seems like an awesome guy.
*Insert perry the platypus joke here*
I love Dee Bradley baker, he's one of my most favorite voice actors.
hes such a treasure, his voice is trully amazing, what a talented voice actor.
Omg I loved legends of the hidden temple as a kid! So awesome that this man voiced Olmec 😁 epic voice!
