Ever watched Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and felt a deep connection to these amazing characters? A huge part of that magic comes from the incredible voice acting!
The Elric Brothers: Sibling Harmony in Sound
Let's start with our heroes, the Elric brothers! Vic Mignogna voices Edward Elric, and honestly, you can practically hear the short jokes being thrown even when Ed's just ordering breakfast. He brings so much fiery passion and a dash of vulnerability to the character.
Alphonse, the gentle giant trapped in armor, is brought to life by Aaron Dismuke. Aaron started voicing Al *very* young, and that sincerity shines through! It's like listening to a really kind, metal teddy bear.
The Military Crew: Serious Business, Serious Voices
Now, let's get to the adults (well, *mostly* adults). Travis Willingham is Roy Mustang, the Flame Alchemist. Think of Travis as the vocal equivalent of a perfectly tailored suit. Smooth, confident, and just a little bit dangerous.
Colleen Clinkenbeard voices Riza Hawkeye, and she's the definition of cool under pressure. Colleen’s voice gives Riza that no-nonsense, sharpshooter vibe, like she could take down a villain with a well-aimed glare alone.
Don't forget Maes Hughes! Chuck Huber makes Hughes the ultimate lovable dad. He delivers every overly-enthusiastic brag about his daughter with such genuine joy, you can't help but smile (and maybe tear up a little…you know why!).
The Homunculi: Voices of Pure Evil (and Envy)
Every good story needs some great villains, right? The Homunculi in FMA: Brotherhood are terrifying, and their voice actors really nail that sinister feel.
Dameon Clarke voices Scar and his voice is so full of rage and sorrow. Scar is truly a man on a mission, and you feel it every time he speaks.
Pride, the creepy shadow kid, is voiced by Laura Bailey. Yes, *the* Laura Bailey! She gives Pride a chillingly innocent sound that makes him even more unsettling. Talk about range!
And then there's Envy, voiced by Wendy Powell. Envy's voice is pure, unadulterated spite. Perfect for a homunculus who’s literally green with... well, envy.
Small Roles, Big Impact
Even smaller roles get amazing treatment. J. Michael Tatum as Scar's Brother is a brief, yet impactful performance.
Christopher Sabat as Armstrong brings the right amount of manliness to the role. Each character regardless of the amount of lines given is played to perfection.
It just goes to show, everyone in this cast is giving it their all!
So, the next time you're watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, take a moment to appreciate the voices behind these iconic characters. They're not just reading lines, they're bringing these characters to life, one perfectly delivered line at a time!
