Mel Blanc Biography

Voice specialist from radio, movies and TV rarely seen by his widespread audience. On 1940s radio, for example, his voice supplied the sound effects for the comedian Jack Benny`s antique "Maxwell" automobile`s gasping and wheezing and struggling to crank up. More widely recognised as the voice of virtually every major character in the Warner Bros. cartoon pantheon, including Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety & Sylvester both, Yosemite Sam et al. Since Blanc`s death, his son Noel Blanc has taken up some of his father`s mantle.

    (imdb.com)
  • Many of the voices he did for Looney Tunes were sped up after being recorded. Examples are Tweety, Speedy Gonzales, Porky Pig, and Daffy Duck. Porky`s voice sounds a little like Bugs` voice before being sped, and Daffy`s voice is Sylvester`s voice sans the slobbering.
