Listening to the Voice Actors of 4*town:
I'll be commenting my thoughts from me listening to the voice actors of the 4*town members individually
I’ll be mentioning the 4*town members a lot and comparing them to the voice actors + making some headcanons along the way
I'll link the videos I listened to
(Warning: this is kind of a long post)
I’ve heard of Fisher from Dear Evan Hansen, he was playing the lead role Evan in 2020, and so I was surprised he sang for Turning Red, I mean his voice suits anything ffgk
He’s a man of talent and sang with LMM (Lin Maneul Miranda, who is a musical god)
I definitely see the charm in Robaire from Fisher, I SEE IT
Fisher’s voice is to die for, I’m not exaggerating
His control is great, sir can hit high notes !!
Jordan Fisher - All About Us (Official Video)
"If I Could Tell Her" | DEAR EVAN HANSEN
Jordan Fisher - "Into You" Ariana Grande Acoustic Cover | Elvis Duran Live
Jordan Fisher Covers Troye Sivan's "Fools" + Peforms His Single "All About Us"
Finneas O'Connell (Jesse)
Finneas’ voice is calming and quite deep, I like it, sounds mature and suiting for Jesse.
Literally Finneas and Jesse share the same hairstyle..I just noticed kdjg
His voice suits sadder/serious songs, it makes me imagine Jesse writing the edgier/sadder songs for 4*town. But also romantic songs too.
Not only does Finneas songwrite and produce, he sings! And not only does Jesse do art, he sings too! (not to mention dance) That’s a whole package (we’re not even talking about visuals man omg ok anyway-)
Also hearing Finneas’ voice sounds like Jesse could sing lullabies, like his voice could be soothing and put you to sleep.
FINNEAS - Only A Lifetime (Live)
FINNEAS - What They'll Say About Us (Official Video)
FINNEAS - Die Alone (Audio)
Levi’s voice is so HOT.. ILLEGAL. Also Levi dances pretty good, I see why Z is the best dancer in 4*town.
If I were a boy in the 2000s, I would be an Aaron Z stan no doubt, I get you Tyler ;)
I can’t comprehend Z being stoic offstage but his voice is full of emotion and smooth like honey on stage…THAT’S ILLEGAL.
I can totally see Aaron Z and Robaire being rivals with each other because they got vocals and style.
I think his voice impressed me the most, Topher Ngo’s being second place. The Aarons GOT IT !!
Josh Levi - What's The Use (Live Performance)
I can’t believe Aaron T is a bass, I didn’t expect for him to have a deeper voice rkdfjgns that’s so attractive
Ngo being Vietnamese makes me glad, he’s representing us Viets!!
Also his control over his voice is insane, literally I am in love??? Ocean deep y'all
Ngo being an ARMY (BTS fan) totally makes me convinced that T would definitely be a fan of BTS too, I don’t make the rules xD
Another soothing voice I would like to hear if I ever feel stressed.
billie eilish - my future (but a little riffy)
The Black Keys - Lonely Boy (Cover) | Topher Ngo
Ain't No Sunshine (A cappella Cover) | Topher Ngo
Grayson Villanueva (Tae Young)
Villanueva’s voice is so bright, I see why they casted him as Tae Young, instant serotonin listening to his voice oml
Also Villanueva plays guitar = Tae Young is a guitar player too (it just makes sense!)
(Fisher and Ngo also play guitar, while Finneas plays piano..Aaron T + Tae + Robaire the guitar gang, while Jesse the piano player)
He’s a literal incarnation of an angel.
Also Villanueva said he did beatboxing for the song (I’m guessing Nobody Like U or U Know What's Up?), yo then Tae must does beatboxing for the group too
I Want You (prod. AYCBeats) - Grayson Villanueva
Fantasy (prod. AYCBeats) - Grayson Villanueva
GRV - WATERMELON SUGAR by Harry Styles (Official Music Video)
Bonus: Topher Ngo and Grayson Villanueva collab on “You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch”
( which totally sounds like an Aaron T and Tae Young cover that they would 100% do too omgkmrgslkr the pure talent and comedy)
As I listened to these artists individually, I see the resemblance in their 4*town characters, Pixar captured their auras and personalities SO WELL
My favorite voices might be Jordan Fisher (Robaire) and Topher Ngo (Aaron T), but the others are super good voices too. All of them work well together as a group and sound breathtakingly beautiful in their own unique ways in their individual music/covers.
In K-pop, usually artists debut in groups and they don’t have solo debuts in order to focus on the group projects (mostly solo covers at most) and it builds the hype whenever one member does make their solo though.
It was actually nice to do the reverse in this case, where I listened to the group first (4*town), then I listened to their individual voices (the voice actors’ solo works).
This was pretty fun, please do check out the voice actors of 4*town and support their work as well.
They’re all so talented and I’m grateful to have them come together to bring 4*town to life 💗
Who’s voice you like the most? Does it differ from your 4*town bias?
Drop some headcanonss if you made new ones after listening to their VAs, I would love to read some too
