    His talent is incredible! I can see why he gets a lot of work. I got to know his name from Clone Wars, but I didn't realize that I've been hearing his voice in so many other things as well. =)
    The only thing that bothers me about this presentation is how scripted it is. It kinda makes his jokes fall flat because they sound too rehearsed. But whatever; he did way better in front of an audience than I would have done.

    21:08 is it wrong for Matt Latner and James Arnold Taylor to dub the Mustafar fight over.

    • @ph89787

      John Watson Yes we should do it.

    • @ph89787
      @ph89787 9 років тому +4

      knight gaurd I know but still they're both great. I think the true series finale of the Clone Wars should have been the same as Clone Wars. The Separatists attacking Coruscant and Grievous has kidnapped the Chancellor. He flies back to the invisible hand and orders the droids to hold him in the general quarters. Just as he is about to order the retreat. A droid alerts him that republic reinforcements are exiting hyperspace and Grievous realises its Obi-Wan and Anakin. Cut to one of the Venator-Class Star Destroyers, where Anakin and Obi-Wan board their fighters and have a bit of snark to snark combat. The fighters take off and that's it.

    • @ph89787
      @ph89787 9 років тому +2

      John Watson Yeah but still considering the fact that the old Clone Wars is no longer canon, they need to create a new ending. That being said, i still like the original ending to TCW.

    @Carrdude101 Well out of about 150 voices in the show you didn't like one I guess I'm okay. I've doubled for Shia many times, hopefully when I did you didn't know the difference then. Either way thanks for watching, Best-JAT

    That he’s voiced a bunch of characters on Star Wars and I never noticed and that some time he would voice one or more characters in the same time

    The amount of talent spewing from this video is phenomenal! If you watch TV on a daily basis, you probably can't go a day without hearing one of JAT's voices. Super!

  • @Ebakthecat
    @Ebakthecat 13 років тому

    I've said it a thousand times and I'll say it a thousand more. This guy is not just a voice actor, he is THE voice actor. He's funny, he's sophistocated (most of the time), and of course he's done the voices of hundreds if not thousands of characters that we all know and love, from Johnny Test to Ratchet to Obi Wan Kenobi.
    Forever James Arnold Taylor will be THE man. Keep up to the good work!

    I freaked out when I saw that he was the voice of Tidus in Final Fantasy X, I've been a fan of both him and the game and have never noticed....wow...
    I love the show and I have to agree.
    James, you have got to be the greatest voice actor of all time!

Blessings.

JAT, I tip my hat to you, you're amazing.

So thanks for that, and all of your wise words on twitter and facebook. Well enough of me gushing and getting all fanboyish... On a side note... Hopefully one day I'll see it live at Star Wars Celebration or maybe you should come up to Canada for some expos. *hint hint*

    James, I don't know if you read this but MAN! you are just amazing. Being a huge TMNT fan I just LOVE your performance as Leonardo. Now I can't read a single comic book with them without hearing you. Thank you so much for all the voices through the years. Your Michael J. Fox and your Doc are almost better than the real thing. And I can't wait to see what you do next.
    Hope to be half as great as you one day.
    I don't wanna be too ambitious.
    Half as good will do.
    Thanks again.
