Voice artist page

The voice artists on this page are the best voice artists in the business, especially Frank Welker who is known as "The Master of Voices." I wasn't really interested in voice artists that much before, but ever since my obsession for "Road Rovers" began I became crazy about them.
The information on the voice artists are taken from the Official Road Rovers Site, but I have added some extra things.
