McDonald, Joel

Nice voice of Zeref.

I loved hearing him as Toritsuka and was surprised to find he did Assassination Classroom as well! Definitely will watch more of his work.

This dude was awesome as Meow and Toritsuka.

Joel is one of those voice actors who has stuck around but never left a huge impression on me. He helped fill a void during a time when Funimation's male talent pool was historically weak. He'll never be among Funimation's best but there's still merit in being able to have lasted this long which isn't something a lot of people who pursued a dubbing career at some point can say.

Read a tweet from a couple weeks ago. Some fan said that it's easier to audition for Funimation now than it used to be (used to need an agent) and Joel replies "false"

I can't be the only bystander who finds this amusing. The guy casts his own wife Marie Charlson and her brother (his brother-in-law) Ben Charlson FFS. This guy must have a very low opinion regarding the intelligence of the average fan. When you're not subtle about obvious nepotism any counter argument he makes is hard to take seriously...

As for his voice acting there are some roles I've liked over the years, others felt a bit lazily phoned in.

Solid ADR Director; usually reliable results.
