Who would Star Swirl the Bearded sound like?

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.

Star Swirl the Bearded should should sound like me which is why I expect to have a call from Hasbro any day now.

like Discord of course. I still think they are one and the same person. but if it comes to voice actors, I think karl swenson who spoke merlin in "the sword in the stone" would fit the role. starswirl is the merlin-equivalent of mlp after all. but IF starswirl appears in the series AND is spoken by john de lancie, we will finally know for sure that Discord is Starswirl. but that does not belong to this thread, sorry :D

I'll go  w Elmer Fudd. (or Kripky from Big Bang)  "Be vewy, vewy quiet.  We're hunting Dscowd."

 

Seriously, one of the BIG differences between modern cartoons & the stuff from the 1930s is that the old cartoon characters were a lot more distinctive.  Modern characters all sound pretty much the same.

Henry Winkler (played the Fonz on Happy Days) on the grounds that he could probably use the work

Hmm Gandalf, Merlin, just generally very wizard-y! :D

Those sound like good suggestions to me.

 

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

I love Patrick Stewart's voice. That would sound amazing.

Depends.

"Show" star swirl the bearded would almost assuredly sound different from how "comic" star swirl would. What I mean is that all the instances of Starswirl in the show show him to be a very wise and more serious individual, Banishing the sirens in a very heroic way, befriending Scorpan, and Journal of the two sisters has him speaking in a rather learned and level headed way.

 

On the other hand, Comic star swirl is basically Pinkie pie as a Unicorn, and retcons his "defeat" of the sirens to him losing against them in a VERY humiliating and stupid manner and just pushing the mirror next to them and saying "Screw it, other dimension, they're your problem now!". Plus he's so out of it that upon seeing an obviously evil and dangerous accumulation of magical energy he nails a "Keep away, probably dangerous" sign on it and walks off.

 

 

 

So, If we go by Comic Star swirl, he'd probably sound very cooky and out of it, as a cloud cuckoolander. I kind of imagine him having a VA like a less wise Master Oogway from kung fu panda.

I think Christopher Lee (Saruman/Count Duku) would be perfect. He strikes me as more of a secluded, anti-social wizard. Ian McKellen's or Patrick Stewart's voices seem a little too gentle and nice to me.

Of late, I'm thinking BC VA David Kaye, who's been in stuff with various other VAs, be the regular or guest. I'm thinking something similar to when he played Professor X on X Men Evolution.

Also, this...

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. :)

Look how far you've come Pathy! You were just a Sectional at this time. :D

Ok to the topic at hand.

This is how I hear him in my head and it fits his depiction outside the show.
