That's the first time I've seen someone rank Linda Ballantyne above Keith Wickham. But you're right, this is a great example of how casting a woman as a boy can actually work. And nice job using Colleen O'Shaughnessey as Tails for reference, too!

I might be in the minority here, but I think my favourite Percy voice was the lispy voice Angelis gave him in the HiT era. I'm just weird that way 😃 If I can remember back to the last time I marathoned the show, I think his American voice (I think Martin Sherman) was better than his British voice. Probably my second favourite Percy.

Nigel Pilkington is definitely my favourite voice actor for Percy, and I truthfully agree that he's the best voice for him. Like John Hasler's Thomas, he captured lots of energy, emotion and youth.

Ok thoughts on all of these voices: Rob Rackstraw - 100% agree with you Robin Smith - he's not that bad imo Martin Sherman - *i think his voice in Season 15 singlehandedly made me think Percy was a girl when I was like 3* but in literally any other season I think he sounds kinda fitting for Percy. Stephen Donald - agree with you again Keith Wickham - again, agreed Linda Ballantyne - three agrees in a row, the voices in TATMR are really underrated Christopher Ragland - really adorable and wholesome, i like this one Michael Angelis - perfect for the model series where there's only one narrator doing everything Nigel Piklington - pretty great voice, though i think it's a three-way tie between him, Christopher and Linda for the best Percy voice imo

Didn't expect Nigel Pilkington to make the list, and while he does a good job as Percy, for me, my all-time favorite Percy VA is none other than Linda Ballantyne herself!🙂 She really not only captured what Percy's true character is, but also made him sound like an actual British schoolboy (and I love how she isn't trying to put on a voice to make it sound interesting, but this is one of the few times where the VA is the character). Plus, in some scenes, she really has a lot of fantastic line deliveries, one of them being when Percy spies on Splatter & Dodge at the Magic Buffers along with the quote "I am brave" really shines through. While Susan Roman doesn't work for James in MRR, Linda Ballantyne actually works for a young character like Percy perfectly! Seriously we NEED more interviews with her and the other MRR voiceover artists regarding their work on the movie! As for my least favorite Percy VA, I know this is gonna question most ppl, but I really didn't like Michael Angelis' performance as him, especially in later seasons he made him sound too much like a younger James, but high-pitched. Also, I never really go near the online videos from 2020, so I really don't have that much to say about Rob but I can agree that he never amped up his game with other characters previously voiced by a few others like Keith Wickham and others (also funnily enough, it's surprising to see you use the footage from Rainbow Sun Productions' MRR presentation).

Probably the reason Angelis began using a younger version of his James voice for Percy from Season 6 onwards is because that's the voice he would have given him had he been in the voice cast for Magic Railroad and used the voice in the show so that it didn't go to waste

Nigel Pilkington and Christopher Ragland are the best voice actors while voicing Percy because the Percy is similar to the voice of Trevor but Keith Wickham voicing only Edward Henry Gordon James and Percy and allowing Ben Small to voice Thomas and Toby until Thomas and Toby ended up getting voiced by John Hasler and Rob Rackstraw

I hear lots of people not liking the US dub because it is set in Britain and they should have British accents. But is that even a big deal at all? I mean, I personally grew up hearing a great ton of both accents, but are they really THAT different, I mean sometimes it definitely shows in a UK accent. Is it me or do people really hear a big difference between accents? They are probably the most two similar English accents out there!

But in the thomas video you said it was george carlin was the best percy narration voice
Unlike you Sean, I actually thought Martin T. Sherman was quite good as Percy. I'd rather welcome this voice over a voice that never tries to sound like Percy, but is rather James on Percy's skin (yeah, I do mean Rob Rackstraw. I love the guy. But good fucking God, I LOATHE his voice for Percy, very miscast and very hard for me to defend unlike Martin T. Sherman as Thomas and Percy). Just my opinion, and you do get what I mean. And again, I am on FULL and complete agreement on Rob Rackstraw as Percy in those last three KZitem miniseries videos from TMBW to TSSTP (abbreviations for Thomas' Magical Birthday Wishes and The Sodor Springtime Parade) is absolutely awful and unlistenable. Oh, and no dude, Keith's last role is actually "Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure". Listen to the UK dub again for the one line Percy says, and you'll see what I mean. I dunno, cuz the last time I heard the UK dub of that film, Keith Wickham (as odd as it sounds) plays as Percy in that movie.
