Thanks guys :smile: I tried my best, but there is soooooooooo much room for improvement! Trust me when I tell you that I've picked apart those videos of myself more than any of you guys ever could. Ha! So glad that Steve is back at the helm, and like you, I look forward to many, many more years with him as the frog!

What a really good attitude! ! ! It's really must have been hard to receive some of the feedback from the appearance but I can say, with the utmost certainty, practice can, and does make perfect and speaking from experience a little constructive criticism can help :smile:

I wish you all the luck in the world! !

Recognizing that there's room for improvement, and striving for that improvement, is likely how you've gotten this far. Your Kermit is not perfect, but he's very, very good. You're a worthy understudy. Keep at it!

I've been thinking the exact same things. Even though Gonzo is one of the few Muppets who is performed by the same guy who originally performed him, he does sound quite different now than he did in the first season of 'The Muppet Show.' In fact, some say that Pepe's voice has changed over the years as well, so I could see one for him. Heck, I'm still waiting on one for Snuffleupagus. (Jerry Nelson/Michael Earl/Marty Robinson)
Here's Snuffy!

I never knew Dave Goelz or Tyler Bunch performed Rizzo at one time. I'm hoping that there will be a Gonzo voice comparison because Dave changed Gonzo's voice over the years.:shifty:

Interesting to hear how Gonzo's voice and personality changed over the past 35 years.

id be interested in hearing the voices from the disney cruises

also ive noticed personally that Eric Jacobsons fozzie sounds a lot better when he isnt forcing it...like you can tell when he is relaxed performing because his voice doesnt sound as gruff

HEY! YO! HEY! Can I get some attention?!

Someone posted videos of Muppet Racemania where certain characters are unlocked. Go to the ends of the videos to hear their brief one lines.

Among them...

Scooter (Matt Vogel)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6TaS8bhRwE

Link (Steve Whitmire)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3wFXx2x9Z4

Janice (Matt Vogel)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xqNvKNfuLk

Dr. Teeth (John Kennedy)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOBlCW9pon0

Too bad the guy didn't post them all racing, and hearing their final victory quips, but I've been looking for this footage for years.

Now, John's Good Doctor we've heard before, Steve's Link will be in the upcoming movie... but this is the only footage of Janice and Scooter performed by Matt
