Kefka- Possible English Voice (Poll Closed-True Voice Actor revealed)

[MichaelZanin]

Cicero from Skyrim!

[CHCHuser]

What would it be like if Tim Curry voiced Kefka?

[lkhrizl]

if kefka was voiced by mark hamill that would be fucking epic

[JalenAngel]

Omg that was Dave wittenburg?! Holy voice differentiation!!

[WizeDemon]

DMC Jester seems to fit but most do!! so crazy like!!

[KuDastardly]

Hehe, I think you forgot to include "Ahmed Best", the guy who played the voice of Mouse of Mouse's Robot Service from the anime movie Armitage III: Dual Matrix.

[chibi00tifa]

lol i say none get cj colins best kefka cosplay/voice/roleplaying eva!!!

[dilps]

Shigeru man....seriously demonic sounding. I have to go for that one.

[Saishida]

I just realized, the Japanese voice actor Shigeru Chiba also plays Buggy the Clown from One Piece. XD

[oshyria]

Derek Stephen Prince all the way

[fluffykiller291]

I always hear Kefka with a Vexen-ish voice. I vote Derek Stephen Prince.

[Sethiroph12]

Mark Hamill or The Jester would have been my other choices after dave

[AnEnigma8624]

After listening to all of them, I agree with the official choice. While Mark Hamill and Adam Clark definitely have been soft voices for the part, I don't think they go wild enough for Kefka. Dave Wittenberg has the intensity needed for Kefka's anger.

[nano69ify]

Mark Hamill.

except i per fer the original.

[TsunadeFTisland11]

Both Mark Hamill and Dave Wittenburg are always perfect for clown roles, but IMO I think that Dave suits Kefka more. His voice has the kind of spice and excitement we all want in Kefka.

[Ponoran1]

OMG ROFL

the japanese voice of kefka sounds funny as fuck lol

[HerrQuixota]

I liked Mark Hamill and Wittenburg and Terrance

[chris20855]

Even though having Mark Hamill as Kefka would have been super sexy awesome, there's something just undeniably maniacal about Wittenburg.

[chris20855]

Jester couldn't ruin my precious Kefka, even he wouldn't dare... BOOOLOOLOOLOOLOO!

[fallenangelraksha]

JESTER O_O

[1aundulxaldin]

Isn't that a SCARY thought!?

[SynysterShadows1213]

I like Dave Wittenburg

[MetroidMadness]

Derek Stephen Prince = Phantom Limb from Venture Bros.?

[n1g3ld34c0n]

@MetroidMadness Derek Stephen Prince = Vexen from Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories. (Yes, that is damn right!)

[Teoskaven]

Adam Clark

[Deathrune456]

nooooooo,, haaaaamiiiillllllllllllll

[hericbss]

Adam Clark

[SuperZalex]

shigeru chiba. Japanese for the win!

[AmyLerajie]

I totally agree with you. The japanese voice is the only one that stand amongst the others, that look almost identically...

One thing that the english version lost is the different pitches and tones in the Kefka's acting. In the Japanese version he sounds angry and cute in the same sentence, and that IS madness, not a unique scream.

[chris20855]

@AmyLerajie Well how about I POUND YOU INTO DUST! doo doo doo.

[doctorman1000]

Do you even know mark hamill is? He's considered the greatest actor to play the joker. Look up his vidoes.Any Batfans will tell that mark hamill was better than heath ledger.

[rpgsuperfan]

Dave was definitely the best choice out of these, but CJ Collins was the one that should've gotten he role.

[Ricky1zPocoLocoAye]

no joke about that

[thegreatbeavers]

If CJ Collins write a letter and shows them his acting skills, Square Enix might even make CJ Collins the Kefka voice as well as maybe a role as Kefka if Square Enix decides to make a Final Fantasy VI movie.

[r4shka]

Terrance Stone has the perfect voice for Kefka!

[Rabbit0]

I'm for Dave.

[ArchideasX]

Yep yep,  Dave Wittenburg would be the best voice actor for the english voice for Kefka.

[wingedkagome]

Mark Hamill for sure.

[00VRV5F41070]

I must say I am agree Dave Wittenburg is just perfect his voice is screechy smart fearsome and mean just what kefka is Terrance Stone is to Screech annoying and to exaggerated & it hurts your ears Mark Hamill is also perfect but many people will relate him with the joker & that will ruin all the fun

[ienzo69demy]

dave was a better choice than mark hamil but i still very disapointed

[animegirlff7]

yep Dave made it as Kefka

Terra vs Kefka Montage is coming up

[finalfantasybrawl]

yep after listening to it,dave wittenberg is definitely kefka.

[StevenBarrows]

Is it true? Is Dave Wittenburg really Kefka?

Hmm..it suits Kefka Palazzo quite nicely, actually. : )

[Aussieroth7]

...Ladies and Gentleman... According to the imdb page of dissidia... Dave Wittenberg is Kefka.

[SlavicDemon]

Hmmm I knew it.

[Kaibaman21]

Derek Stephen Prince is not Kefka I have played the demo of Dissidia Final Fantasy and I finnaly encountered Kefka in battle his voice sounds like a cross combination between Mark Hamill and Dave

[Kaibaman21]

I have to say even though Mark I would personally pick for Kefka all voices would be perfect espeially Terrance Stone that particular voice sounds VERY CLOSE TO THE JAPANESE KEFKA

[DissidiaPlayer]

I agree Terrance has the best representation of Kefka's HIGH SCREECH speech. though I'm pretty sure some of the other guys can do it too... just wasn't given a part that bad ass to use such a screech :D

[OkSka]

HAMILL FOR KEFKA, then

KEFKA FOR PRESIDENT

[SlavicDemon]

Kefka Obama?

[UndecidedRPGplayer]

I personally liked Mark Hamill as the Joker. He was able to change his voice's pitch and the laugh to match whatever mood Joker was in, be it maniacal, sad, sarcastic, or mocking. He definitely would've been very good as Kefka, I think.

[gravytrain45]

It's Dave Wittenburg from what I heard. I think Terrence Stone is doing the Emperor.

[vang4ever]

i think the guy who played jester's voice would kind of match him...

[JGood1776]

Shigeru Chiba's Kefka has a hellishly shrieky voice.

[81finalfantasyfreak]

dave wittenburg sounds perfect

[bakkahentai2600]

I think he got the part. The new gametrailers video sure sounds like him when he does a line.

[81finalfantasyfreak]

oh my god thank you so much i never knew gametrailers had anything that the official site didnt

[bakkahentai2600]

Every week on Thursday GameSpy and IGN release a montage of the characters doing their roles.

They've done FFI, FFII and FFIII. FFIV is this week.

[SaitoIkari]

we already know who's doing the ff4 voices lol

[bakkahentai2600]

But, you don't know how well they'll do the character in Dissidia. Golbez has to sound hopeless, but remorceful. Cecil has to act like his post game and hold no contempt for Golbez.

The montage also shows off their techs since some are getting tweaked in the first place.

[SaitoIkari]

thats true.

[AcesJD]

@bakkahentai2600 Golbez should get the Darth Vader Voice

[omgcandy16Kimicari0]

Eh, I like Derek.

[81finalfantasyfreak]

kefkas not british

[bakkahentai2600]

Of course he isn't, their from a different world.

[81finalfantasyfreak]

i was commenting on omgcandy16Kimicari0's comment where he/she said that he /she liked derek

[bakkahentai2600]

I know.

[81finalfantasyfreak]

oh ok

[VergilownsDante]

I want adam clark otherwise known as JESTER so that when im using Kefka i can shout out the imfamous line Kefkas gonna spank your but spank you on the BUT lol

[immblueversion]

Sure, Mark Hamill is good at the Joker, but casting him as Kefka for that reason neglects the finer nuances of Kefka's character:

The Joker destroys because he finds it amusing, while Kefka destroys for the sake of destroying things.

There can only be one Joker, and I don't want that any other way. I want Kefka to be respected as a distinguishable icon.

[cmanning525]

obviously it should be mark hamill

[Dinnomicx]

JESTER!!!!!!

[Omnicloudx13]

I agree, Jester or Mark hamil

[hazelXin223]

I think Mark Hamill would be good but he would need a higher pitched voice. If anything we should get that Kefka Cosplayer to do the voice lol

[admentlore]

I'm sorry, Dave doesn't voice Shukaku, Kirk Thornton does, in that case I think Kirk is best for Kefka, or Dave...

[admentlore]

Dave Wittenburg I think has a better range than Mark Hamill, I think he did Garra's transformation form Shikaku, he can hit those high pitches (i'm not 100% sure on Shikaku)

[16thDay]

I think Dee Bradley Baker would be a good kefka... i haven't heard his voice acting recently... but he pulled off a pretty good carnage in the 2000 spiderman video game for the ps1

[Cainleer]

Jester!!!!

[Morgil27]

I have no idea who any of the other guys are, but i've always wanted Mark Hamil for a long time now.

[EternalGuardian07]

I would s*** my pants if Adam D Clark (Jester from DMC3) was Kefka.

[psylentknight]

I'd have voted for Adam, easy.

[vastler]

if the poll wasn't close, I'd vote David Wittenburg.

the voice fits Kefka

[zaporozan]

lol derek's voice is in kingdom hearts

[81finalfantasyfreak]

dave wittenburg sounds perfect!

i really dont think mark hammil should be kefka his voice is too deep

[FarbrorKudde]

mark hamill

[Bannar]

Richard Epcar would be another good choice for Kefka. (He voiced Joker in the DC/Mortal Kombat video game)

[berserkchip]

I didn't even think of Dave Wittenberg. Nice choices.

[Arceus13]

didn't he do kakashi in naruto and sephirtoth in kh and ff advent children?

didnt know that dave wittten burg had a clown voice XD suprised

[berserkchip]

He did Kakashi, but George Newberne did Sephiroth. In Advent Children, he was Loz, the creepy guy with the really long hair and the gun knife.

His natural voice is tenor 2, so he can hit higher pitches. One example I can think of at the moment is his voice of Sun Wukong in Dynasty Warriors Orochi. He's done others though. I'd have to check Imdb.

[NBKMoD]

why the hell do they always make evil clowns is their any hero clowns ?

[Xats]

because clowns are easier to make look insane??

If this poll weren't over I'd vote for david wittenburg or mark hillman :#

[CardCaptorDeadpool]

Clowns are the biggest threat to public safety next to Simon Cowell and Karl Rove

[Gigaspine7]

I liked Dave Wittenburg.

I always imagined Kefka having a somewhat regal, yet flexible voice with abit of a high pitch to it when he speaks normally.

[InfuserGod]

I'd have to say that Jester would be the best pick!

[Sitrax45]

go mark hamiil he makes good villain clowns

[Aizen9]

I think the last person, Terrance Stone who does Kurotsuchi Mayuri in the Bleach dub would be amazing, listen to the dub voice of Mayuri in episode 43+44 of Bleach as a good example.

[Sephazon]

What about that one cosplayer? He'd do nicely.

[bakkahentai2600]

I went for pros only. <_<

[gilbertiroth]

You mean that guy from lolfilmworks. CJ was his name I think. He's someone that would be good.

[bakkahentai2600]

CJ Collins to be exact. <_<

[LordQualtzer]

Jester!

[Kellox17]

Mark Hamil isn't a bad choice but Kefka's voice is a voice that is capable to go from low pitch to suddenly deep down voice.

Mark Hamil only had a mediun laugh and voice.

[MarioLazar]

Quite personally, I don't think any of these actors would work out, especially Mark Hamill. He played a good Joker, but Kefka's character is completely different from Joker. Unlike the Joker, he has no goal other than the destruction of EVERYTHING, and he will not rest until it is so, and Kefka destroys things because he sees no point in life, dreams, or hope, for he has none for himself.

[TheJorus]

I don't see how you connect voice actors not working due to their characters motives and goals being different, it's about the voice.

Mark Hamil or Jester's voice actor. They sound good for him.

[MarioLazar]

I don't think so... Allow me to explain why. In the Japanese version of Dissidia, Kefka's voice can randomly go inhumanely high to menacingly low. Hamill's Joker has a monotonous tone and his cackle doesn't go that high. Jester's voice sounds playful like Kefka's, but lacks random pitch change. It's not the voice actor I'm concerned about, it's what all they can do with their voice.

[superkefkacosplay]

id neva pick mark for kefka his voice is no way loud high and insane enough he's almost got the laugh down

[Oyiket]

First one ^^ best XD

[tubeshark]

Am I the only one who thinks that with Mark Hamill Kefka would be too much like the Joker, more like a copy of him than the great original character of FF?

That's the reason I wouldn't even think of casting Mark, even though I am a huge fan of his work as the Joker.

Personally I think that from these opinions David Wittenburg sounds psychotic enough to play Kefka, and also sounds like the japanese one quite a bit, which is also a good thing, since that's how Kefka was supposed to sound like.

[Nekorin]

I agree, it would be reducing his uniquness. I'm between David Wittenburg and Terrance stone. But did anyone think of the buggy the clown voice from Funimation's One Piece? Thought that may have the same problem.

[Aussieroth7]

......Where was CJ Collins? Mark Hamill for the book, but where was CJ Collins?

[bakkahentai2600]

If you haven't noticed I went for professional voice actors.

[Aussieroth7]

Yeah, fair enough.

[Dinnomicx]

JESTER!!

[nomorerocketships]

i know the poll's closed, but Mark Hamill's one!

[CrossMarian23]

the VA for Jester or Mark Hamill or Nothing. NOTHING!!!

[bakkahentai2600]

Someone made a suggestion for another PROFESSIONAL voice actor. The guy who did Rafiki in Lion KIng.

[CrossMarian23]

We want kefka to sound psychotic and a clownish figure, not some sage who sounds like he's gonna die any day.

[KirbyPhelpsPK]

I liked the Dave Wittenburg one.

[firemaiden101]

CJ COLLINS FTW!

CAN'T believe you didn't include him in this!

[dlausactor6373]

Either Mark Hamill, Richard Horvitz (Zim, Billy), or... CJ Collins!!!

[zitted]

Kefka needs his "WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP" laugh

[DreamSword]

Adam Clark, totally.

[LunarReplicator08]

ho shit...all seem good..nice work..~...try uploading some more of the others..^^

[mikarabidkitsune]

MARK!!!

MARK FTW!!!!

[ChoasOrderPAIN]

wittenburg ftw

i always thought kartikeya sounded like kefka would...

[sounoff]

I think Jester or Terrance Stone would work best

[reignxzile]

Hey watup buddy? Those r some nice selections! I think Dave Wittenburg is a good choice!

[SpacePirateKhan]

Hamill for the Win. Though the louder, more angry sounding crazies would work well too.

[Ph34rlargoL337m4573r]

....I have to go with Hamill, though i want to go with piedmon's VA. But the laugh won me over.

[bakkahentai2600]

-_-" I really shouldn't have put that laugh in, but Youtube wouldn't let me upload this without it for some reason!

[Ph34rlargoL337m4573r]

You really shouldn't have, the laugh just completly screams "insane"

[bakkahentai2600]

But, it wouldn't let me upload this otherwise! I tried other things like begining songs and such, and it wouldn't work!

[Ph34rlargoL337m4573r]

Well, the pure fact that it is the joker sells it completly. I would only go with piedmon since I love digimon.

[bakkahentai2600]

ah...

[DivineLady]

Jester for me. He sounds like how Kefka would sound like.

[kz10683]

Based on the laugh alone, I'd have to say Hamill.

[PrismRed]

The opening laugh sold me on Hammil

[ZellDincht1226]

Wittenburg and Hamill make good choices for me. Mark Hamill would make a perfect non-crazy Kefka, while Wittenburg makes up for the good crazy parts.

[Quicksilver802]

I'd have to go with Jester, with Wittenberg a close second.

[nuetralkid]

Peidmon, definitely. XD

though u could've found a better clip for Mayuri. that is a Mayuri clip for Terrence isn't it?

and u might think of listing the characters each clip is of in the description. just a thought.

[bakkahentai2600]

I forgot to add them, meant to though. =P

(Can't post on GameFAQs for a while due to being on probation).

[nuetralkid]

that is Mayuri Kurotsuchi for Terrence though, right?

[bakkahentai2600]

Yes, and I updated the video info.

[nuetralkid]

alright. btw, Adam Clark(credited as "Adam D Clerk") voiced Jester from DMC.

according to Wiki anyway. >_>
