Nicholas CortezTo fully enjoy this release please be sure to watch Batman: Arkham City: End Game Part 1 (audio comic) first! Enjoy!
Happy 10 year anniversary to the greatest video game in the world, Batman: Arkham Asylum! Its official release date was August 25th 2009. I was 15 then! Ever since, the Arkham community has changed my life forever.
In the year 2013 Batman Arkham Videos gave me the opportunity of a lifetime as Joker in his "Jokers Waltz" video. Also in that same year I was introduced to my best friend Chazz Ravenelle. An up and coming online creative who's creativity and work ethic would soon be put to great use. A friendship was born and we then began our creative journey together.
Over the years Chazz and myself refined our acting, workbenches, knowledge-base, and contacts. It wasn’t until October of 2018 where we had reached the true starting point for production of Part 2.
Thank you for watching! All of this would not have been possible without my best friend Chazz Ravenelle, who's collaboration brought life into everything you see and hear.
Thank you to Jason Shawn Alexander for being a fan of Part 1 I hope we did this motion comic justice!

It is an honor that this demo was made possible in collaboration with fellow brother in arts Mr. Chazz Ravenelle! We came together and shared so many incredible moments crafting this! Hope you all enjoy what we have created and that it inspires you to achieve the possibilities that await!AMAZING Christopher Lee Voice Impression • Count Dooku • Part 3Nicholas Cortez2022-12-23 | Sir Christopher Lee returns as Count Dooku in my latest voice dub of STAR WARS: Tales of the Jedi PART 3! My mission was to honor the character and craft a performance with the authenticity I grew up watching from Lee. As an impressionist I had to not only evoke him but operate within the timing in the show. Twice the challenge, double the reward! I trust you’ll enjoy what I brought to the table and leave with an enjoyable experience!
My beloved brother Chazz Ravenelle! He saved this entire project from the pits of Pandora’s Box. A literal series of unfortunate events plagued an otherwise historic impression video and he was there to stare down the Rancor every step of the way. From meticulously keying in my performance to editing it all together, he elevated every aspect of this video to a quality unheard of for dubs. Thank you for making this into a reality and for being such a positive FORCE in my life. Even when it seemed like hope was gone. As the Jedi say, may the force be with you my brother, always!
Nicholas Cortez: Voice Actor This is part 3 of my dub of Count Dooku in Tales of the Jedi. This version now has a new voice more similar to Christopher Lee than the one from the Disney series.

This concept pits Keke Palmer, Daniel Kaluuya, Brandon Perea, Steven Yeun, Michael Wincott and Kieth David against a WACKIER foe! The Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube People. Where did these aliens come from? Are car sales their true motivation or is their hypnotic gyration a trap for unsuspecting prey!?

Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson) has eluded the Empire since the fall of the Jedi Order. Now Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen) and his newly formed task force led by The Grand Inquisitor (Jason Isaacs) are on the hunt for any remaining surviving Jedi. Will they escape or face a fate far worse than death?
It was a great honor to finally pay homage to one of my favorite actors of this generation! I wanted to bring Jason Isaacs vocal performance and presence into live action. Luckily I had a resident Potterhead to help authenticate my takes to get as close as possible. This was something I know so many fans wanted to experience since Jason has a long history of playing deliciously evil characters Like Lucius Malfoy, Col. William Tavington and Hook to name a few. So there was a ton of responsibility to nail his cadence and voice from Rebels! For the illustration, I kept true to the Utapau alien design we saw in “Revenge of the Sith” played by Bruce Spence. With that foundation I began to reconstruct what it would look like if Jason had indeed been given the role. That is indeed his face under all that digital “prosthetics”!
He Jedi MASTERED the audio. He brought BALANCE to the sound. With his MIDIchlorians he was able to create life...through his Music! He is my GRAND pal @ChazzRavenelle ! We have been best buds for almost 10 years now and we still geek out over what we do. Wether it’s his writing, animation, music or sound design he creates things that make me feel like a kid again! So much ingenuity that goes into his process and for all the experience he has in execution, his intuition is equally a credit to his work. Scoring for the Inquisitor was a big challenge because he is relatively unknown. We all know Vader. Boba Fett. Luke. But Grandy required extra moxie to solve! He drew inspiration from many things including Jedi Fallen Order while remaining true to the legacy sound of John Williams’ orchestra. STAR WARS. From start to end, ideas materialized, anything is possible all thanks to him! That kind of love is what keeps these videos evergreen! Thank you my brother, May the force be with you…Always!

#DisneyPlus #StarWars #Kenobi #Darth Vader #Vader #MaceWinduWillem Dafoe as the JOKER • EPIC VOICE IMPRESSIONNicholas Cortez2022-04-24 | Finally experience Willem DaFoe as the Joker with an actual voice actor to deliver the insanity right to you! Stick around for the end to hear my original Willem Dafoe Joker laugh!!! For decades many of us have wondered what he would look and sound like. Wait no longer. Sit back and try not to make any sudden movements, Patient J is waiting for you!
Full kudos to @ChazzRavenelle for taking on a barrage of lightning bolts to the brain for coming up with this delicious mashup! Its like The Lighthouse meets The Batman! Haha I immediately got to work on voice matching Willem Dafoe as if he was cast opposite of Robert Pattinson’s Batman! Yes I’m the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude! A ton of my style and writing was infused into this and I truly enjoyed the process. For the artwork, I retrofitted a Dafoe Joker I had made some time ago so that he is more in line with the Matt Reeves Batverse. Which was easy because Dafoe already has the perfect face reminiscent of the man who laughs! Also the guy IS the Smile Man!
The care and investment Chazz put into this experience goes way above any production titles I could possibly use to describe what he did. He went beyond the call of a music composer, sound designer, animator and visual effects editor. Even when this video was audio only at first he made my voice shine through. He knew every tune and motif represented in The Batman by Michael Giacchino. THIS theme is the most involved piece of music Chazz has EVER done and it compliments Riddlers and Batman’s perfectly! Total deconstructive ingenuity! He was patient and had incredible knowledge to share whenever I had any questions! Seeing just a glimpse of the technical side of the visual components was so rewarding, let alone experiencing the finalized version! THANKS FOR THE NIGHTMARE FUEL HAHAHA Many of you will be entranced by it, with his hypnotic vampire stare! Extremely grateful to meet the moment and deliver artwork and a voice performance only Chazz knows how to elevate. I wouldn’t have been able to embark on this journey without you brother. Thank YOU!

There is no spoon and more importantly there is no video…without my Tank. @ChazzRavenelle ! The driving force who through skill and talent hacked into the Matrix to help resurrect Neo with his mastery. I’ve always felt like he was an operator aboard the Nebuchadnezzar. It came full circle as I got to see him literally decipher endless code. It looked like colors and shapes to me but he saw a path. And what I brought into the performance he was able to elevate with his uncanny Jon Davis theme. I have NEVER had a reaction to any piece of music I have been involved with on a project that shook me as much as Chazz was able to do with his original track. These films have meant a lot to him since the beginning, here you can tell he fully embraced the Matrix. Bravo my brother, thank you for making this truly one of a kind!

Voice Acting/Artwork/Animation by Nicholas Cortez:
Candyman directed by Bernard Rose ignited a horror phenomenon. My sister till this day refuses to say his name even once. A testament of how effective the original was.
The voice. Tony Todd is simply exquisite. Each character impression I attempt comes with their own challenges. Getting the voice right involves observation, repetition and stepping into the unknown. Like riding a bike or bowling. Taking away the safety rails is where the real play begins! I also rendered his portrait, using whatever movie stills I could to figure out his proportions. It wasn’t until I added dramatic lighting that Tony Todd appeared before my eyes. Having his facial animation work in sync was also challenging, in order to pull off the proper effect I decided not to blink. Making his expression almost dracula like.
My best friend Chazz Ravenelle has directed, voice coached, video edited, sound designed, composed and put up with my insanity for many years now Haha! Before we got to dive into making the video, he was eager to watch Candyman 1992 for the first time! We were captivated by Tony Todd and Virginia Madsen along with the entire heart and horror of the classic film. I remember his shock when he saw that Philip Glass had composed the original Candyman soundtrack. A musician he was already familiar with. And much to my delight he was preparing to score something just as sweet. Upon completion I got to hear and see all the work he put into this homage. I couldn’t help but feel I was put in a trance, much like Helen was. His original score immediately penetrated my mind and refused to let up. Before I knew it I let out a cheer, I was simply overwhelmed in the best possible way. Chazz stayed true to his intuition, and that kind of artistic honesty elevated everything about this unforgettable experience. Thank you for everything buddy!

#LittleNightmares #TheThinMan #LittleNightmares2The Mandalorian: Moff Gideon Voice ImpressionNicholas Cortez2021-01-29 | The Mandalorian has been such an amazing experience to watch with my friends and family. Giancarlo Esposito is truly a great actor, and Moff Gideon is a villain who could stand next to the likes of Count Dooku and Grand Moff Tarkin!
I had an idea that this dialogue would take place after Chapter 15, when Mando sends his message to Gideon. Not a wise decision.
My Best Friend Chazz Ravenelle was my 3rd and 4th ear in my process to match Giancarlo's voice as best I could since he is a huge Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul fan! Once I was happy with the voice I got started on the animation. Chazz acquired the assets and began to work on the VFX, Editing and Sound Mastering! I saw first hand how much technical knowledge he used to make everything seamless. This looks and sounds amazing all thanks to you Chazz!
Once the visuals were complete we got to see our friend Aaron Weatherford in action with his musical touch! He made the music you hear in this video to compliment the subject matter as well as pay homage to Ludwig Goransson. We all forgot this was an impression when we heard it all play together!

This is my take on the voice Paul Dano gave The Riddler, from “The Batman” trailer. Riddler has never been so threatening on film until now so I wanted to convey that here! Hope you Bat-Fans enjoy and have a great day!
I was lucky enough to tease this idea to my great friend Chazz Ravenelle and because of his reaction I HAD to go through with it xD Instantly we knew music man Aaron Weatherford would jump on this so fast since he is the worlds biggest fan of Michael Giacchino! So thank you Chazz for making my animation look as beautiful as it is and for handling all the audio mastering, typography, and editing of it all! Aaron you are about to fool everyone watching this into thinking I ripped music files from the production set! Thank you both so much, it feels great to be back and making strong content again!

Nicholas Cortez, where would I be if not for your vocal performance? Together we were able to recreate the voice of Douglas Rain, without error.
I, the HAL 9000, would very much like to publicly thank the 2015 era iMac model. The computer I am referencing is currently under ownership by a human known as Chazz Ravenelle. Due to his efforts and knowledge of my kind, they were able to construct the audio and visual components necessary for my inevitable return. You will be spared.
For those of you unconvinced...Enjoy your "Election".

Notice Vaders helmet has remnants of the Emperors lightning still eating away. Thank you for watching!
HUGE thank you to Chazz Ravenelle for helping me turn a pretty bare-boned Vader animation into a ghostly nightmare. This guy could run SkywalkerSound and ILM all by himself! Lets also give a round of applause to Aaron Weatherford who was our John Williams for this track! Star Wars needs you Aaron, there is no escape haha.

Thank you to my fellow Director and best friend Chazz Ravenelle for being the hands, eyes and ears of this project all these years. Every image sings with life because of your animation, I couldn't have a better partner who respects my artwork. Thank you Aaron Weatherford for adding another layer of emotion and depth in your music we didn't know existed. Thank you Batman Arkham Videos for introducing me into the Arkham community and for always inspiring me to continue my path.
Be sure to watch the entire video, as to pay respect to the end credits and for a little surprise!
Part 1 was introduced as an audio comic. We learned from many of its problems and tightly held on to it's best parts. The casting of Harvey Dent played by Alexi Westphal, my Joker performance and the amazing bond Chazz and I gained. All else would be changed, recast and upgraded. With our new tools and knowledge of the arts were able to give parts 2-3 a new dimension.

MARVEL-OUS!? LOL. With all these superhero news lately what better way for me to contribute than to pay homage to James Spader and the people over at Marvel studios who are making big things happen. I gotta say James Spader did a killer job at the voicework hes doing as Ultron in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Just hearing his voice in the official trailer made me excited to be a comic book fan all over again. I hope I did justice to this voice for all you fans out there. I had alot of fun honing in my inner Ultron and a special thanks to Chazz Ravenelle for listening to my early tests beforehand!
Expect more variety voice overs outside of the Batman Universe, a new step im excited to take and id love to share this new journey with all of you! Stay tuned!!

#Ultron #marvel #AvengersBatman: Arkham Knight - Scarecrow Returns - Voice ImpressionNicholas Cortez2014-07-17 | It's been a long time since Gotham has heard my voice, now all that remains is for you to sit back, relax and enjoy the FRIGHT! When Rocksteady first showed their gameplay footage at e3 I was thrilled to see how awesome everything looked. Scarecrows new visage totally sent chills down my spine and thats without the voice itself. Whoever voices him in the game I tip my hat to you sir for coming into this universe with such a golden voice like that. Very reminicent to Paul Frees of Disney's the Haunted Mansion Ghost Host. I had a blast emulating both these iconic sounding voices. I have been known on the ol' Tube to voice Hugo Strange, but this voice was very unique, raw and chilling. This chilling tone is something I havent quite covered yet in any of my videos. I hope you all enjoy this for what it is despite wether you like the new voice for scarecrow or not. I did give it my own spin by breathing/respirating between breaks, mostly to "up" the horror. I also caught that his jaw is somewhat broken so I did my best to replicate my jaw's angle to approporitely get the accurate sound. It was quite daunting at first but i had a blast all around!

#scarecrow #arkham #BatmanHugo Strange Monologue (dub)Nicholas Cortez2014-06-02 | Enjoying the uploads so far!? :) Ive been on a roll lately and realized I havent done a Hugo Strange video in quite some time! This character voice is one of my top favs to do, but sadly I havent given him much spotlight on my channel. Seeing that I was the first on youtube to do a Hugo impression I felt the responsibilty to keep up the mantle of doing more of him. My favorite video I did of him was my first, but I see this one as a worthy successor. I realized while watching this original scene that it was very grainy sounding and echoey and i wanted to at least keep some aspects of that in this video. Ive already shown my ability to do hugo so I figured I could have a little fun and try to add that extra atmosphere. Ive been doing impressions of Corey Burton and Christopher Lee since the clone wars. About last year my range has allowed me to reach not only a very low voice, but to also speak in such a way that it has character. So if you too want to sound like Hugo you must practice, practice, practice! If a skinny little kid with ambition could do it so can you! :D
I took a creative approach to the end sequence, letting your imagination run wild while listening to Batman serve a meal of JUSTICE!! I was very glad I threw that in instead of leaving you all hanging after Hugo says "KILL HIM!". I went further and said ya know what i'll just throw in a quick little one liner as Batman. I went to the challenge maps videos from Batman Arkham Videos and found a cool quip batman says before the match starts and it was "You fools are goin down." I said "yep thats what I want to say" so i did! I havent really done a full on Kevin Conroy Batman impression video, but I have done videos where he says one liners. I felt after my Scarecrow video that I should quickly brush up on it and thats how my Batman sounds now. Hope you like it and next week should be a video where Batman and Gordon confront Bane from Arkham Asylum! Itll be my first time doing a full on Batman, Gordon and Bane voice on my channel. Itll be a doozey! I have much more Joker planned from "The Return of the Joker" to "The Dark Knight Returns"!
special thanks to Batman Arkham Videos for the support and Ross Arnold for my epic intro!
My animator has told me that my Joker video should be ready for a summer release. Hes a very busy man, but like all of you im dying to see it already!! xD It'll be a masterpiece when its done.

Soundtrack: Christopher Drake, Arkahm Origins: "The Final Offer"Scarecrows Death (Asylum Dub)Nicholas Cortez2014-05-29 | Hi yall, Its CRRRRRAAAAAZZZZYYYY UNCLE NICK!!! Ya asked for it, now here it is!!! xD Scarecrow from Arkham Asylum!!!!! This has probably been the most requested voice on my channel for MONTHS, so I got up the courage to do this wonderful character who was voiced in-game by Dino Andrada. Personally it was difficult to find scenes that had a lot of dialogue with this character, so I went with this cool scene. No, Scarecrow doesn't use his voice modifier like he does when batman is hallucinating, so I threw that at the end because I had a feeling that is the most recognizable voice people think about when they imagine Arkham Scarecrow. I also did Killer Croc's roars and Batman's little "DON'T DO IT CRANE". Its a little tease im sorry but eventually expect a video dedicated to bats and Croc in the VERY near future. Hope you all enjoyed this video as this was the most hours ive ever spent editing all the sounds and of course doing my voice. Your feedback is always appreciated!

Clean, uncompromising and most certainly dublishious! Hey there folks its me again, thought it was time to finally birth out another freeze video dub. I have spent weeks studying freeze for TONS of projects. I know I did a freeze video a few months back but after honing down the voice of the great Michael Ansara I felt confident enough to upload something much more true (to at least the new adventures of batman version of Mr. freeze), which in my opinion was the sweet spot between Heart of Ice and the Batman Beyond episode with freeze and Blight. I urge you to watch this and then my older freeze dub and notice the HUGE progression. Its times like this where I feel accomplished in seeing that practice DOES make perfect. Same goes for all of you aspiring voice actors out there! Just keep hacking at it like a madman!!!

#mrfreeze #dccomics #batmantheanimatedseriesCalendar Mans Mothers Day StoryNicholas Cortez2014-05-11 | HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! Hope you enjoy this Calendar man video, it was fun and creepy doing those lines while my mom was in the other room wondering if im going crazy HAhahHAHa! I made the tone feel more horror-esque because there isnt much going on in the cell. Are you all enjoying these Calendar man vids, tell me in the comment section!
Im GRADUATING, WOOOHOOO! Which means i will be making videos like there is no tomorrow!! I have a Freeze, Arkham Origins dub, a Joker dub from the DCUO cutscene, and some new characters ill be happy to debut after this week! Of course i'll be doing more videos with my wonderful Harley aka Roth Wolfe, and hopefully I can start bringing in other voice actors in these vids very soon!
My original animated short, "Jokers Dream" is being finished up by my animator Sven Stoffels. I know i keep on saying that but its a trememdious amount of work for one animator to do 2+ minutes of amazingness. I have high hopes for the project and hopefully we can get it uploaded SOON!! Its worth the wait!

Without her i would have no punchline! In this voice acting business its EXTREMELY hard to find a female voice actress who has so much range, and a passion for the craft. It all started last year in August 2013, on behind the voice actors (web site). I had auditioned for joker and she auditioned for Harley and from that very second she uploaded her demo, I was stunned that i had witnessed a miracle. I heard something in her that reminded me so much of myself when i first started. Shes able to tap into Arleen's Harley so masterfully, and still make it fresh! SO without further ado, HARLEY QUINN!!! I voice Joker and other insane laughs. I hope you all noticed that my laugh is never the same as i strive to always vary it, just like the great Mark Hamill. I'm sure most of you first thought, "hey nick is voicing Harley?!" because my channel has been dominantly my work, but since waiting for the Joker animation has been taking so long we decided to do this while you all wait! ENJOY! SUBSCRIBE TO HER!!!: youtube.com/channel/UCJR6_Y3qcPuzyLH9eRSGu_A

Here is another one of my Calendar man Holiday stories for you all! I know I missed uploading the St. Patrick's day video but I liked doing this one way more. This scene is originally from Rocksteadys Arkham City video game. So far I've been getting great feedback from you all and im glad im turning this rather forgotten character into someone worth listening to. So thank you guys and gals for being supportive of this character voice I do.
SPECIAL THANKS to the amazingly talented Ross Arnold who made this one of many intros for my channel! GO GIVE HIM A SUB!
The Legendary Maurice LaMarche voices him in the game, in case any of you fellow voice enthusiasts are wondering. Right of the bat I grew to love doing this character in the same vein as Maurice, but I do realize my own flavor has been added. From the feedback ive been getting ive noticed that you all enjoy how ive made the voice match his hefty body type and also made him more menacing in a Hannibal lecter sort of way; which is a HUGE compliment. This story is one of my top favs so I hope you all enjoy this one as much as I had fun voicing it! Next up is.....Mothers Day.

Im on spring break at the moment so I am concentrating as much of my time to finishing up my riddler video and an arkham origins dub. SO BE PREPARED! Aside from that I gotta say the Joker animation is coming VERY VERY SOON. I dont know how many of you are even aware of what this is, but for those who do, hang on!! Ive seen the progress and it looks beyond my wildest expectaions. I'd be so bold to say itll be up this or next week! till we meet again my fellow Gothamites HEHehEHAHAHahAHAha!!! Soundtrack: Sin City(Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), "Dwight". Batman the Animated series, "Joker's Favor"Calendar Mans Valentines Day StoryNicholas Cortez2014-02-14 | HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!!! And yes this is how i spend these holidays...WITH ALL OF YOU!!! :D So i kept to my word and will continue these holidays with Calendar Mans story. This Day id like to thank all those who've helped me and who have been so kind and supportive of my work. Thank you all for showing your love. ALL of you deserve to enjoy yourself on this lovely day whether your out or stuck at home (like me xD).
This scene is an Easter egg in the Rocksteadys Arkham City video game. Calendar Man who was originally voice by Maurice LaMarche did a spectacular job. I loved voicing this scene and also the character. As demented as his stories are they sometimes make me burst out in laughter. Hope you enjoy this short and want more in the upcoming holidays!!

That aside Im also happy to say that ive been keeping to my one video a week schedule instead of the monthly gap routine last year. I have soo many characters in store for all of you like the Riddler, Penguin, Bane, Deathstroke and many more that you've suggested i do. So please be patient because sometimes college rears in its ugly head. HAHahAHahHA.
I want to personally say Happy Valentines to Batman Arkham Videos, MBK, CabooseXBL and JaeRoar for showing their love/support of my work!! (links will be down below), AND to my animator who has been hard at work creating my BEAUTIFUL Joker animated video. Its literally breath taking and i cant imagine anyone else who has more love and passion towards the joker and his art. So thank you and I love you all!!
Soundtrack: Danny Elfman, Batman (Original Motion Picture Score), "Kitchen, Surgery, Face Off"Hugo Strange - Pay Your RespectsNicholas Cortez2014-01-19 | HELLLLOO EVERYONE! I bet you thought I went missing again! xD I had some free time to upload this video! I made a promise to hopefully upload a character vid every week. So here ya go! Oh i almost forgot I made a facebook fan page where ill post vids and updates and all that cool jazz so go like me there so we can chat as well! facebook.com/NicholasCortezVA This video is of me voicing Hugo Strange in the Rocksteady video game Batman Arkham City. This is the crime alley easter egg wherer you get the chance to pay your respects to your fallen parents. I knew if I was ever going to voice this scene I didnt want to take it so literally like how the game did, but rather make it seem as if it was one of Bruce's' lucid dreams...or rather nightmare. Hearing Hugo in his head as he relives the death of his parents that dreadful night. So excuse me for not having the quality clear and crisp as I wanted the sounds to echo as if it were some kind of abstract nightmare in Bruces head! I had to think a little more artistically about this video than my past ones so I hope it shows! In the background you can hear bruces parents. Special thanks to my Mom for voicing Bruce's mom Martha Wayne alongside my Thomas Wayne! I didn't want their voices to drown out Hugo's, but i wanted to make sure you heard them enough to understand whats going on. Also special thanks to MBK(MrBettyKrueger) for the gun shot effects! It was perfect for the occasion! I dont know if yall follow or hear my voice in other channels but ive been collabing alot with this TALENTED voice actor Patrick Ferguson(MBK) lately as Hugo Strange, and Alfred Pennyworth (bet you didn't expect that!). So go check out his channel cause if im not uploading any vids here its because ive been doing voices on his channel! http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQBqU11aCM_FHgu-0IcTTGA I cant reveal why i haven't done Joker in so long quite yet even though i have in the comment section a few times xD But oh my lord its going to be EPIC!! Its been on the drawing board since October of 2013 but its finally coming to fruition before the month ends! All i can say is that Harley will make a wonderful cameo (voiced by the AMAZING Roth Wolfe) so check out her YouTube channel as well! http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJR6_Y3qcPuzyLH9eRSGu_A So BIG thanks to my Harley for sticking around for so long on this project, and even longer since the first time i met her on BTVA! I've been soo lucky to be working with the amazing new generation of voice actors!

Thank you to BAV for having showcased my voice numerious times and supporting me in my craft so I command everyone to go sub to BAV!!! http://www.youtube.com/user/BatmanArkhamVideosMark Hamill Joker monologue from The Killing Joke - Voiced By Nicholas Cortez (2013)Nicholas Cortez2013-10-14 | EDIT: THANK YOU TO ALL MY FANS!!! You guys are the Best! Always so positive and supportive! Glad to know that MY fans aren't as insane as the characters i voice! HA! PASSED 1,000 subscribers!!! Its been a pleasure to put a smile on your faces!! Im looking forward to see what great things lie ahead!! Ya know kids a lot has changed since I've been away! New Gotham, new rules even a new Joker... BUT now i'm tanned, im RESTED and i'm ready to give this town a WEDGIE AGAIN HAHAHAHA ARE YOU WITH ME!? Oh I've missed all of you soo much since my little 2 month break (college happened). In the time of my absence I've been focusing on improving my voices for all of you to hear! Lets jump to the now shall we!? If you havent subscribed to Batman Arkham Videos already then...DO IT NOW! here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/user/BatmanArkhamVideos Because recently BAV uploaded a video of Troy Baker reading a monologue from "The Killing Joke" by Alan Moore. You can also see the full NY Comic-Con panel for Batman Arkham Origins on the BAV channel aswell. As you all know Troy took over the clown princes voice. Many were worried, and some were HORRIFIED by the notion that our beloved Mark Hamill was not voicing the character he brought to life. Now upon hearing Troy's read I was surprised to see how many people liked it. They deserved a better class of criminal! This video is an interpretation of what I think Mark Hamills Joker would sound like reading that very monologue. A mix between Joker from "Return of the Joker" and Arkham Asylum. Id love to hear what all of you think about this video! Hopefully I've brought all of you something special in this video! I've certainly had loads of laughs recording this and i'm just glad to be back! SPEAKING OF LAUGHS! This laugh that I performed for this video was extremely fun to do. Even surprised myself when it came out! I pride myself in never repeating any of my major laughs in any of my videos. So hope you enjoyed that HA-HA as much as I did! I'd like to thank BAV for uploading quality videos for me to drool over! Love all the Batman updates i could get! So big thanks cause if that panel was not uploaded I would have not been so motivated to voice Mr. J anytime soon! Oh i almost forgot to say...I FOUND A HARLEY! Shes a wonderful voice actress that all of you would be very surprised to hear! I'm fortunate to have her in my future videos! Certainly lifts the burden of me having to voice Harley HAHAHAHA! soundtrack is from Batman the Animated Series (Laughing Fish Soundtrack)Mad Hatter Tea Party - Voiced By Nicholas Cortez (2013)Nicholas Cortez2013-08-30 | Where is ALICE!? hmmm? Do any of you like TEA!? I hope you do because I have a special guest here at the table! oohh he dosnt talk much, but that's fine I like it better when I can hear the rabbits purr! Its been far too long my dear Arkham Inmates far too long! This two week gap between each video is killing meee!! (noted) So in this video I voice Jervis Tetch A.K.A. the Mad Hatter, and I voice Batman as well but I wouldn't want you to judge me based off of two words in the entire video!! hahaha! Next video I promise more Batsy! Anywho, in his scene the Mad Hatter has drugged Batman to fall under his very elaborate mind control "hat"! Both sitting across from each other enjoying a nice discussion about Tea and wanting to be friends...jk Hatter totally wants Batman to be his "Soldier". As most of you heard from Batman Arkham Videos, the Mad Hatter will be returning to Arkham Origins for a much bigger role than in Arkham City. I was thrilled because Peter MacNicol IS BACK AS THE VOICE! So in keeping with the hip news i had to do this snippet showcasing my Peter MacNicol Mad Hatter voice! Hopefully you wont find this voice identical to my Joker voice even though my first time hearing the character i believed it to be Mark Hamill so if you hear the connection then.... WOOOPIE XD Granted i'm not Peter MacNicol but darn it im damn close! haha I went a little extreme in places where Peter voiced it subtly just to add more fun and wild abandon! Please no negative stuff! you'll hurt Jervis's feelings!! xD So here ya go folks Something new! Dont worry ill be posting a joker video sooner than a 2 week time frame hopefully haha! Thank you for supporting me in my endeavors and BIG thanks to Batman Arkham Videos for the support! Go check out the channel here! http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl2Ae8IzmEusR43OL9HNcKQ The soundtrack is by Nick Arundel for the Batman Arkham City (OST): "Chasing Rabbits"Hugo Strange Impression - Voiced By Nicholas Cortez (2013)Nicholas Cortez2013-07-25 | WOW! Thank you everybody for the support of my Joker vidoes! I'm so thankful for all of you who watched my impressions. It really means alot to know that im doing something right by making your day! I've gained new subscribers or as I would like to call them, my Arkham Inmates! xD So welcome! Thanks to everyone who voiced their liking and or critique of my voice! Everything that you say makes me try harder in order to improve to the best of my abilities! How can I forget to mention Batman Arkham Videos who has given me a great opportunity to reach all of you wonderful people! So i'd like to thank him because if not for his liking of my video I would not have met any of you!! Okay now that I've said my thanks id like to transition into my voice acting/impression video of Hugo Strange from Arkham City. Sorry if you guys were expecting another joker video, but I wanted to try something different! Hopefully you will enjoy this as well, but don't think i'm finished with the joker cause it hasn't even begun hahahahaha! Any who, this scene is in the intro of Arkham City when Hugo has captured bruce wayne. In the video game Hugo is voiced by Corey Burton. He's known for his bass voice and impressions of Christopher Lee. Both are wonderful actors of their craft! So you can definitely hear both actors influence my Hugo voice. I recorded this in a spacious room to give it an empty feel just like in Hugos interrogation chamber. That's pretty much it and hope you enjoyed this video because I sure had fun voicing him! Expect to see more joker videos soon and leave suggestions because I do get brain freezes haha! The song is "Have You Got My Location", by Nick Arundel from the Batman Arkham City video game! here is a link to Batman Arkham Videos youtube.com/user/BatmanArkhamVideos
