    Many of the other main cast use, essentially, their regular voices.

    So you consider the rest of the cast to be Katey Sagal?

    I agree that Billy West is certainly the man, and deserves tons of praise, but your last sentence is a reductive and incorrect insult. Maurice LaMarche is right behind Billy West in amazingness (think Kif vs Morbo to understand his range). Frank Welker is a fucking voice acting legend. John DiMaggio and Tress MacNeille are both amazing voice actors. David Herman is a great utility voice actor. Phil LaMarr and Lauren Tom are great and sound nothing like their characters, unless you think all people in their respective racial groups sound alike.

    Blasphemy.

      I would say the main voice cast consists of Billy, Katey, and John. It’s been so long since I’ve heard John speak with his regular voice, I had to go find some YouTube videos to see that yes - I was absolutely incorrect in that regard.

      Maurice and Phill are some of the all time greats and I would put them up close to Billy and Dan Castellaneta. Tress is the female equivalent of Billy, imo.

      No shade was intended to the rest of the supporting cast. I feel it’s a little messed up to low key call someone a racist based on their feelings for the cast performances on a cartoon, but you do you.
