I conducted lots of interviews over the phone and managed to get lucky to have a few recordings done at Conventions. Sadly, there wasn't time to get a recording of John Campbell and Wayne this time around, but no big loss as there is always next year :).
Rather than let these great recordings go too waiste, here they are... Some where done over Skype, and that's why the audio on all of them sound off. James Avery was recorded through a MP3 player over Speaker phone. Peter Reneday did his in his own recording studio and that's why they sound the best. Thanks a million, guys!
If you watch the European Vacation episode in London, the voice of Sherlock Holmes sounds very much like Peter Reneday's normal speaking voice.

@pannoni1 As for the others, Shredder by James Avery is quite a bit deeper than his normal, "Uncle Phil" voice. Pat Fraley however seems to have the most variation: Woobly Krang, nerdy Baxter, tough Casey Jones, and bossy Burne are quite distinct from one another and was probably the most talented VA on the original show. Jennifer Darling simply uses her "standard cartoon voice" for Irma (heard on many other shows), and Renae goes just a little lower for April and much higher for Lotus.

@woodchuk123 In another video, Barry Gordon says that for Donatello, he uses his normal voice and just pitches it up higher to sound like a teenager. Bebop is some weird articulation, however. Then on the Season 5 DVD extra, you can hear Cam Clarke in normal voice; though he tweaked it a few times for Leonardo (He seemed to pitch it up a little higher though for each season). Rob Paulsen's Raph isn't far from his normal voice, but Michelangelo is a lot differerent from Townsend's normal voice.

@greenrangerv1 There's always a "redub" option (this can include replacements in the original series as well). People and fans will purchase special "redub" editions if they happen.

I actually flinched when I heard Wayne Grayson play Mikey! It always freaks me out when I hear voices which I connect to animated characters to a real person! Geez! I loved Mikey's scream at the end!

Lotus said Karai would win Leonardo as her cohert

I was amazed that Renae had Lotus reference Karai. Though I couldn't understand what she said Karai would do if she won the fight.

yeah too bad because of union vs non-union bullshit, we won't be hearing these voices in the new "movie" crossover Turtles Forever. They got replacements for the 1987 crew. Pisses me off! How dare they replace the 1987 crew. i'd rather not even have them if we can't have the original voices!
