Speaking of imitation, I can imitate Wilt almost perfect and Coco too. Yeah Bloo's voice is perfect.

Ctually, wasn't Herriman done by Lead Balloon? He and Tonya have the same avatar.

But I just couldn't imagine Bloo with any other voice than his own. It's a perfect match. Go Keith! Yeah that would be pretty surreal, though it would have been great to have been a fly on the wall when Craig and Co were doing the auditions for Bloo. Just to see if any other prominent voice actors came in and read for the part and what their interpretation of the character would have been.

Well, apparently, they read tons of people before Keith Ferguson showed up. I'm really amazed he hasn't been discovered before. The man is an AMAZING voice artist. Every one of Bloo's line is delivered perfectly, and he knows how to be both hilarious and, if need be, heartbreaking (Challenge of The Superfriends comes to mind). I hope against hope that he won't fade away after Foster's ends. He's too talented.

Duchess sounds most like Natasha Fatale on the Rocky and Bullwinkle show. (Get the DVDs.) Kind of a generic Eastern European, easy to pass off as German or Russian without being too specific. She may also be influenced by the Gabor sisters, who were Hungarian. Eva did some voice work: The Aristocats, The Rescuers movies.
As for Madame Foster, she resembles Granny from the old Looney Tunes shorts, kind of a mishmash of outdated expressions without being tied to any one locale.

Eurotrish is mostly italian yes, but if you're living in Italy, guess how close you are to france and spain....probably why she talks like that

Actually I don't think Duchess is supposed to be German. We don't say the "R" the way she does. Maybe she's Russian.

Personally, I see Duchess being created by a snobby (American) girl who wanted a chic, European, "purebred" friend. I really think she's just a mishmash of stereotypical Eastern European accents.

I kind of hated EuroTrish's accent, although I loved the character....it's like when she was created, the writers had no idea WHICH COUNTRY she was from. My solution: make her sound more "British", and I don't mean the really bad stereotypical Monty Python-esque accent.

But that was the joke you see, she wasn't supposed to be from just one European country, but an amalgamation of different European cultures. The personification of the continent of Europe as it were.

Yeah, the same thing goes for Duchess's voice. It's just a mash of stereotypical aristocratic accents.

Speaking accents, this is getting off topic, but what was Dracula's accent? I can't for the life of me figure out what it was.

I think Transylvania is part of Hungary but I wouldn't swear to it. For years I thought it was a fictional place that the Munsters came from.
