Bionicle Voices

[darkslizer]

I usually inadvertantly use my own voice in various tones, but I will omit that from this post. I thought Mata Nui would have a very deep voice, like a mixture of Optimus Prime and Morgan Freeman. Krika, a kind of quiet, hollow voice. For Gorast, a loud, hissy voice, hardly sounding female at all. For Onua, a quiet, yet British accent. Definitely the opposite of The Mask Of Light Movie. God, that was horrible casting. For Teridax, a thunderous voice like the movie voice. For Mantax, a quiet voice that could be unheard if you don't know what to listen for. For Pridak, very bold, yet very dark.

[Chro]

The Matoran speak in a programming language. They don't have accents.

Oh, you had to go along and be so literal.

[Klak]

You know, to be honest, I mixed some of my own invented voices, those of voice actors, and the movie voices, depending on the characters. For example, Mata Nui would always have Michael Dorn's voice for me, while I recently have imagined Kopaka to have a Kevin Conroy voice. I also thought Lesovikk could be Michael Bell's "Raziel" voice.Nice topic idea, though. It's making me think of voice actors for each of the characters.

[aaninja64]

After watching way too much yogscast, I now think of Vezon as having Simon's Grizzwold voice. Oh yeah.

[Makuta of Time]

I thought of Ackar being voiced by Liam Neeson, and a Le-Matoran being voiced by Jay Leno. Since he's a comedian and all.

Also I thought of Lesovikk being voiced by Quinton Flynn(the voice of Raiden in Metal Gear), since he hates himself because of his past.

[Podu]

Thanks to the Hordika animation, I now imagine all the characters speak in static and whatnot.

[toa electro]

I thought Pohatu would be more of a light country or Australian accent, tahu had a cool guy voice, but then I saw tahu in the movies and I was like yeah totally! Uh Onua would be English and of a very intellectual type, and kopaka is a more annoyed and cold sounding zane from ninjago

[Archon~]

Brutaka= bane

[BenLuke]

Kopaka is Clint Eastwood.

 

Search your feeling, you know it to be true.

[CeeCee]

Brutaka= bane

 

For me Sidorak is Bane. I think its his mask XD

[Meta-Mind]

Kopaka is Clint Eastwood. Search your feeling, you know it to be true.

I thought Hydraxon was Clint Eastwood, though...

[Toa Axis]

I just go by the movies.Though I didn't expect Kiina's voice to sound like it did. At all.

[Chro]

Brutaka = bane

Hahaha. Yes, all the way.But this doesn't make Axonn Batman. Edited January 3, 2013 by Chro

[man774]

I always imagined Jerbaz being played by morgan freeman.

[Chro]

Nah... Morgan Freeman isn't good for the huge ego type, in my opinion.

[Archon~]

Jerbraz = Brad PittHewkii = Channing TatumAckar = Morgan FreemanMatoro = Leonardo DiCaprioJaller = Tom CruiseAxonn = Gimli's actorTahu = Aragorn's actorKopaka = Orlando BloomVezon = Johnny DeppLariska = Penelope CruzArtahka = Ian McKellenKarzahni = Voldemort's ActorPohatu = Jack BlackTSO = George Clooney

Eh, I just picture everyone sounding like they did in the movies. But before the first one came out, back when we only had the MNOLG and Flash movies, I pictured them all as having Samurai Jack accents. Well...for the Toa Mata, Tahu had a bold, heroic voice, Gali sounded exactly like she did in Bionicle: The Game (even though that wasn't out yet, I coincidentally pictured her as sounding like that), and the other four all just sounded like Samurai Jack. Everyone else had Samurai Jack accents. Except the Komau-wearers. Something about the Komau looked silly to me, especially combined with the way their heads moved when they spoke, so I pictured them as sounding like the blue guy from Dragon Tales, if his voice constantly cracked. Don't ask. I have no idea how my 8-year-old self got that from a Komau. But I did.

Mata Nui sounds like Optimus Prime. The rest of the characters who were in movies are as they were, except for the Matoran, who I hear sounding like normal people.And then the 50+ characters who are left, I imagine distinctly but cannot describe through anything but a video of me speaking in the way I hear them.

 

I Imagined Teridax would sound more like Optimus, but good to see that we're on the same wavelength.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Scottie Ray as Teridax.

[Axilus Prime]

Doesn't Optimus sound too heroic for Teridax? :|

 

Also, Tren Krom should sound like the Gravemind. Pure awesome.

[Chro]

Exactly.

[Dralcax]

I only know one voice actor... so Click should be voiced by Ikue Ohtani

[CeeCee]

Well it doesnt have to be specific people. Just accents you might think of them to have.

[Just A Dot]

I go by the movies. I thought of Lessovikk sounding like Batman. Vezon has a kinda high pitched, gravely voice.

To me, Vezon sounds like Joker.

A little deeper, but basically this.

Takua - Elijah WoodSolek - David KrumholtzTanma - Rob MorrowMata Nui - Peter CullenMakuta Teridax - Frank WelkerHahli - America Ferrera

Tanks - Rob Morrow

Um.What?

Grrrr...Auto Correct doesn't like BIONICLE names.I meant Tanma.

[Chro]

Ah, thought so. xD

 

 

In 2007 I pictured Hydraxon, the Maxilos robot, and the Mahri as having the voices in this trailer (except for Hahli's). I know that all the voices are done by two people (Tony Wedgewood and John Lowth according to the credits), but they sound good anyway.

 

 

... but the phrase "holy Gadunka!" from Nuparu is still ridiculous, and the first line of the movie sounds like "deep sea deception burger".

[Wordmeister]

Nuparu sounds like a Clone Trooper.Kongu would be Tom Hanks.

[Guest InsaneVezonPosse]

To me, Vezon sounds like a low pitched and crazy Yoda(exept that Vezon has a default grammar). Pridak sonds like an old sea bear with a slight guttural voice like he's been drinking too much rum, a mixture between Barbossa from Pirates of the Caribbean and Rooster Cogburn from True Grit

[Wordmeister]

My problem was that the Matoran always sounded like kids in the movies. I mean, they're eons old and they still talk like children!

[cybertoa]

Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill as Jaller and Hahli

[Neelh]

Nokama will always be Tabitha St. Germain for me.

 

Most of them have some variant of my brother's voice for me, but my headcanons are the movie voices for the Toa Nuva and Metru, as well as the main Matoran. Except Hahli's voice was a little less childish.

[MaksDudekVA]

My idea of Lewa's voice was just a tad deeper, and without the accent. Kinda like in Bionicle: the Game, but slighly higher pitched. Its complicated.

 

As for Onua, I thought he would have a voice like he had in Bionicle the game.

My problem was that the Matoran always sounded like kids in the movies. I mean, they're eons old and they still talk like children!

 

Well, they do have small vocal chords.

Still... it's hard to imagine Matoran like Tanma talking like a child.

And by that logic, Turaga should also sound like kids.

[The Iron Toa]

Do we even know if they have vocal cords? And even if they do, their overall height doesn't necessarily mean they have small vocal cords.

True. Agori and Glatorian probably do, though since Matoran/Toa/Turaga are biomechanical, so they may have speakers instead.

[The 1st Shadow]

In my head, Mutran and Vezon sound fairly similar, and both sound like Jim Carrey (The Mask).

 

[Spiderus Prime]

The Shadowed One: Leonard Nimoy

Axonn: Peter Cullen

Brutaka: Micheal Keith Richardson

Mataro: Nolan North

Pridak: Steve Blum (in PRIME Starscream voice of course)

Kongu: Daran Norris

Karzahni: Tony Todd

Vezon: Tom Kenny (In his Animated Waspinator voice)

Artakha: George Takei
