Toronto, Canada (VOICES.COM) September 24, 2007 – Watch out world, here come five of the most Simpson-like voice acting sound alikes on the planet! Just a few short weeks ago the concept of a Simpsons Sound Alike Challenge was planted in the minds and hearts of Simpsons fans and voice actors everywhere. People with vocal skill sent in a variety of demos featuring their unique interpretations of the characters from the hit FOX television show, including character voice acting in the categories of Best Homer Simpson, Best Marge Simpson, Best Bart Simpson, Best Lisa Simpson and Best Krusty the Clown Impression.
Winners in the respective categories include the following:
Best Homer Simpson Impression: Brad Venable of Tulsa, Oklahoma USA
Best Marge Simpson Impression: Paul Seidel of Kerrimuir, Victoria Australia
Best Bart Simpson Impression: Gelfling of New York City, New York USA
Best Lisa Simpson Impression: Kara Edwards of Charlotte, North Carolina USA
Best Krusty the Clown Impression: Rick Gangi of Morristown, New Jersey USA
The Simpsons Sound Alike Challenge was the first of its kind at Voices.com, the leading online voice over marketplace that connects people who need to hire voice actors with the actors themselves directly for work opportunities.
