What if MLP:FiM drew its voice actors from the LA pool?

[eddeams 66]

Instead of Canada, what if MLP: FiM had a voice cast from Los Angeles? (Which just so happens to be the place where most of the big cartoon VAs do their work) Given how Tara Strong wouldn't be constrained by Canadian voice acting policies, she would be voicing ponies OTHER than Twilight. Not to mention John de Lancie would still be voicing Discord. As for the rest of the main cast, here's who I think would be their voice actresses instead:

• Rainbow Dash - Pamela Adlon
• Pinkie Pie - Jennifer Hale
• Fluttershy - Hynden Walch
• Applejack - Carolyn Lawrence
• Rarity - Grey DeLisle
• Spike - Debi Derryberry

 

• Princess Celestia - Kath Soucie
• Princess Luna - Grey DeLisle
• Princess Cadance - Mae Whitman
• Shining Armor - Jason Marsden
• The Cutie Mark Crusaders - Probably some unknown child actresses

What do you guys think? Who do you think would voice who if G4 had an LA-based voice cast?

Only if Peter Cullen gets to voice someone

[Sasoriman 136]

And don't forget Lauren Tom, Corey Burton, and Jeff Bennett. Mark Hamill would've been perfect as Grogar.

Pinkie Pie: Kate Micucci.

Grogar: Either Keith David or Clancy Brown.

I actually don't know any VAs for LA. But this topic is quite interesting!

[Sparklefan1234 170,647]

John DiMaggio would probably voice a character, he's in almost everything. 

Pamela Adlon's "Bobby Hill" voice sounds a lot like a raspier Rainbow Dash.

Tara Strong would voice Twilight Sparkle or Pinkie Pie, Twilight Velvet and some of the background characters. 

I could see Kristen Schaal or Kate Micucci voicing Pinkie Pie, too. 

Grey DeLisle would be Granny Smith, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

Peter Cullen would voice Cranky Doodle and Trouble Shoes since he has experience playing depressed animals.

Something tells me if Mary Kay Bergman were still alive, she would voice Rarity and Princess Luna.

I don't know anything about the VA's personally, I'm fine with anything really, but I know that Peter Cullen or Frank Welker could make a good Tirek or Grogar. 

I always pictured Strarswirl being voiced by Peter Cullen had the Starswirl not turned out to be an asshole

Yeah, exactly!

Kath Soucie aka Lola Bunny from the original Space Jam, Phil & Lil from Rugrats and Morgana Macawber from Darkwing Duck

could play Princess Celestia.

Sadly I don't recognize any of these names, but it would be very intriguing to see how the LA VAs would pull this off.

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

I might have still watched MLP FiM if it had VAs from the LA pool, but I am content with the VAs that FiM had.

[eddeams 66]

For King Sombra, I can see him being voiced by Fred Tatasciore in "The Crystal Empire" and by Tim Curry in "The Beginning of the End".

[Sparklefan1234 170,647]

Dee Bradley Baker could probably voice either of the Flim Flam Brothers.

[Megas 27,626]

Given he has dual citizenship just like Tara Strong, they totally should have gotten David Kaye to voice King Sombra. If you listen to his BW Megatron voice, he would sound perfect for him

[Megas 27,626]

I got it now

Twilight - Tara Strong
Applejack - Carolyn Lawrence
Rainbow Dash - Pamela Adlon
Rarity - Wendee Lee
Fluttershy - Stephanie Sheh
Pinkie Pie - Janice Kawaye
Spike - EG Daily

Scootaloo - Colleen O'Shaughnessey
Applebloom - EG Daily
Sweetie Belle - Kath Soucie

Sunset Shimmer - Erin Fitzgerald
Starlight - Amanda Win-Lee

Celestia - Kari Wahlgren
Luna - Grey DeLisle
Cadance - Mae Whitman
Shining Armor - Johnny Yong Bosch

Chrysalis - Lori Alan
Discord - John DeLancie
Tirek - Clancy Brown
Sombra - David Kaye
Grogar - Michael Bell

@Megas What about Kevin Michael Richardson? Who do you think he'd be perfect for?

Kevin Michael Richardson would obviously provide the voice for Flutter Guy.
