What will Nintendo do once he dies? Will they reuse his voice lines? Would they hire a replacement voice actor?
Charles Martinet
you answered your own question, well done
And what other magical answer do you expect to exist besides the two you listed you ding dong?
They will do like the Robot Taisen team does. Record an infinite of lines to later resuse them forever.
They will recreate his voice using robots.
Buy rights for his voice and use AI to mimic him.
Mario only needs to say a handful of things WAH WAHOO WEE-HEE. They'll just reuse that shit
Nintendo would stop making mario games.
What the fuck does he say other than Bing Bing Wahoo and So Long Gay Bowser? They can just reuse those lines for all his future games.
Put him in a super shame casket
Literally anyone on the planet can do a Mario impression. He'll be replaced by an intern within the hour until they find a more permanent replacement
Do you know how many fucking people can do a Mario voice just as good as Charles Martinet? Hell most people could probably do him better and go back to 90s-type voices instead.
He's honestly an amazing voice actor. Even if you include just bing bing wahoo he voices practically every male Mario character and manages to make them sound completely distinct which is a rare art in video game voice work. You then find some of his other work and you're just completely shocked that it's him.
Mario will be a nigger. He will go like: It's me, mother fucker, I'm Mario.
Answers that retarded are not answers.
based
They have two decades worth of Mario/luigi/waluigi//wario/baby mario/baby Luigi voices lines, they can sample them just fine, though it's gonna be a sad day when it inevitably comes.
They’ll have the bing bing way oof repository to draw from until the end of time
Nintendo probably has a bank vault of pre-recorded lines for a dozen or so worth of games
DURRRRRRR!
This guy was probably the weirdest person I ever met IRL
They bring him back from the dead with a cocktail of drugs and wires, but he's not cognitive and basically a mental retard that they use as a puppet with electrical impulses to make him scream dialog for recordings. They'll keep his reanimated corpse in the basement of NOA HQ, right next to the room with the human pikmin.
>trying to fit in humor
Apparently he has a grindr profile or something. Rumoured to go after twinks.
SO LONG GAY BOWSER
There are probably other people capable of shouting "BING BING WAHOO" into a mic, but even if not they have a shit ton of old voice clips to use, and I guess AI voices are a thing now too
Just like they did Mozart. I hate this hell that I live in
>Do you know how many fucking people can do a Mario voice just as good as Charles Martinet?
It doesn't work like that, if finding an imitator is all they needed we wouldn't have so many replacement miscasts in every media.
>the human pikmin
The what?
AI Voice deepfakes would be perfected by the time he dies
I met him at a convention and went to get his autograph. I was actually curious about the man behind mario and tried to ask him things about what it is like to record those lines. He literally just "yippee" "wahoo'ed" and then his handler gave me the please leave signal. It was surreal
>He literally just "yippee" "wahoo'ed" and then his handler gave me the please leave signal.
Deepest lore
>Do you know how many fucking people can do a Mario voice just as good as Charles Martinet?
Far less than you might think.
Keep in mind that you have to do Luigi, Wario, Waluigi and pretty much any other male character as well.
The Japanese have massive autism about replacing voice actors. So much so that they will fuck over their own stores by outright not including a character if the VA is unavailable or dead
I've already said too much.
That's why Phil in Kingdom Hearts 3 had no lines at all, even though KH's audience would give no fucks about who a chink VA for an iconic Disney animated role is.
I saw Charles Martinet at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by wahooing really loudly.
I have gone to several cons and met all kinds of people. Most of the time they are excited when you ask them about themselves especially if they are B-Tier or C-Tier Entertainers. I asked him "So how does the voice acting work? Do they give you lines or do you just sorta adlib?" He "yippees" and then says "I do 4 hour sessions" and then "wahoos" and I was politely asked to move aside. There wasn't anyone behind me in line either so it wasn't like I was holding up the line
Except I met him at a convention that I paid money for his autograph spazz.
kek, imagine if he met Quentin
