I find that voice acting isn't given enough credit!
Not only do actors face the challenge of having to record their lines, but they have to put in just as much hard work to give a convincing performance using just their voice with the possibility of no other actors in the room with them. They have no idea how the characters are going to look, and they need to imagine the entire scenery.
Robin Williams as the Genie in Aladdin (1992), I think comes very close to being the GOAT next to Mel Blanc!! Not only did he manage to give the character so much energy using his voice, he also gave quite an emotional performance when it came to moments that were serious, and most of his lines were ad-libbed.
I also think James Woods as Hades in Hercules (1997) Mark Hamill as the Joker in Batman and Steve Carrell as Hammy in Over the Hedge (2006) are right behind him!
