Who would Star Swirl the Bearded sound like?

[PonyFunk 155]

Personally, I would like him to sound like Merlin from Disney's "Sword in the Stone". He has a rather high pitched and comical tone. Also, Gandalf or Saruman-like would work well too.

[Onion Sing 666]

Those sound like good suggestions to me.

 

Also, I'll add Patrick Stewart into the mix.

[Scootaloodle 1,621]

Patrick Stewart maybe, although I also think Julian Clary would be good for Starswirl

 

[FlutterAether 421]

I hope we see a Celestia and Star Swirl episode in the near future, learning more about Celestia when she was crowned ruler and having Star Swirl as a mentor would be a really good thing for character development  

 

But I imagine his voice to be something like Patrick Stewart but a bit more cleaner and less gruffier c: 

[Brokenwings 85]

Maybe like Yen Sid from Kingdom Hearts 2

[Everleaf 541]

Gandalf or Merlin...otherwise I have no idea...

[ggg-2 3,550]

Sean Connery. Why? Because it's Sean Connery, dammit!

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,152]

As the topic is dealing with a character referenced in the lore of the show, it has been moved to "Show Discussion."

 

Thank you, and please continue the discussion.

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

Deckard cain. The last horadrim mage from diablo. Awesome voice and very wise man. Michael Gough is the va

[Megas 27,070]

I always pictured him voiced by Peter Cullen myself

[Andaasonsan 3,205]

A while back I was thinking it would be awesome to hear a pony voiced by H Jon Benjamin. (Archer from Archer, Bob from Bob's Burgers.) Might as well be Starswirl.

 

Okay now I don't think it's possible for me to imagine Starswirl with any other voice.

[Castle Bleck 19,167]

Either Patrick Stewart, Leonard Nimoy, or Corey Burton.

[Odyssey 5,713]

I like to think that Star Swirl's voice is clean and noble, yet rather old.

 

I dunno what celebrity has that kind of voice... because I'm not too familiar with celebrities. xP

[Banul 3,831]

It can only be Gandalf. 

 

Or maybe Patrick Stewart.

[Jangocoolguy 433]

Like a wizard or sage usually does.

 

 

As for the voice:

 

Jim Cummings

Patrick Stewart

James Earl Jones

Ian McKellen

Tim Curry

Christopher Lee

Michael Ironside

Chis Sabat (Piccolo voice)

Keith David

Peter Cullen

Gary Chalk

Tom Kenny (think an older Professor Utonium )

[Celli 4,332]

I think he would sound like Morgan Freeman.

[Venomous 18,813]

I would imagine that he would sound like Morgan Freeman.

[Overdrive 5,366]

I'm going to have to go with Sir Ian McKellar. Come on, how could it not be Gandalf?

[Conred 274]

Ian McKellen or Patrick Stewart (one was honored guest for Micheal Morones charity and second is still on Meghans Twitter so maybe )

[Zekromic 1,054]

Those sound like good suggestions to me.

 

Also, I'll add Patrick Stewart into the mix.

YEAH, ZOBEK AND PRUFESSUR X IN MLP FOR THE WIN

[MozillaToast 233]

I think he'd sound like either;

Professor Finklestein, Gandalf, Morgan Freeman, Jack Whitehall (British comedian)

[ThatOneComrade 1,091]

Guys, imagine him as MORGAN FREEMAN.

[Tao 6,739]

Sean Connery like would be

the best of the voices I think

for this unicorn!

[Geek0zoid 1,467]

Honestly, I could imagine him sounded like a bass in a choir. He'd have a very deep and booming voice, like someone who you should take seriously.

[Redeye 399]

Gandalf.

 

Always Gandalf.
