My Top 20 Favorite Voice Actors

Now here's a Top 10 List I've been looking forward to doing for a while. As I may have explained before in past artworks and journal entries, I have a very huge interest/fascination with professional voice actors. And seeing as how today is the birthday of the most famous voice actor of all-time; the Man of a Thousand Voices himself, Mel Blanc; I figured today would be appropriate to pay tribute to his legacy by listing off the various voice actors who I enjoy the most, and will be going beyond simply a Top 10 in order to express my strong passion for them.
