Hey Voiceover Enthusiasts! Raluca Here!
Did you know Jim Cummings, the iconic voice behind Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, was also in Grand Theft Auto V?
Yup, you read that right! In a recent post (well, actually on May 14, 2024!), the legendary voice actor revealed he lent his talents to the popular game. While he didn’t spill the beans on the exact character(s), he did mention voicing a few folks in Los Santos.
Now, this might not be Pooh Bear hanging out with gangsters, but Cummings did bring his magic to some key roles in the game world. We’re talking about the voices you hear from the friendly (or sometimes not-so-friendly) Ammu-Nation clerks helping you stock up on ammo, and the Blaine County police officers keeping the (somewhat chaotic) streets in check.
I personally think this is a fantastic collaboration! Cummings’ voice acting range is incredible, and having him breathe life into these characters in GTA 5 just adds another layer of depth to the already immersive experience.
Think about it! The next time you’re grabbing some firepower at Ammu-Nation, you might be hearing the same voice that brought you childhood joy with Winnie the Pooh. Pretty cool, right?
Here’s the thing: Cummings isn’t just about the adorable characters. He’s a master at versatility, and his voice acting credits span across animation, movies, and even video games. From the iconic “Pooh-bear, oh bother!” to the booming authority of a police officer, he can do it all!
So, next time you’re watching your favorite cartoon or playing a game, listen closely! You might just recognize the unmistakable voice of Jim Cummings.
