Simple enough.

Who is/are the best voice actor(s)?

Who are your favorites? Why? Which movie or series?

I think that we can all agree that Mel Blanc is the undisputed King of all voice actors. The guy was, literally, confirmed as the "Man of 1,000 Voices".

June Foray should also be mentioned even though her death was treated with little attention, which saddened me. Foray was super versatile and did some of the most iconic voices in cartoon history.

Kevin Conroy's Batman is no reason needed. His voice is gold.

James Earl Jones is an icon in his own as Darth Vader, but his greatest voiced work is from "Flight of Dragons" as Ommadon, the Red Wizard. A truly captivating performance.

No love for Casey Kasem?

Clancy Brown deserves a mention too.

I want Clancy Brown to voice the Kingpin in an animated adaptation of the entire Punisher MAX arc that was done by Jason Aaron and Steve Dillon.

Khazra Reborn

Diedrich Bader. He was Oswald on the Drew Carey Show. He has done a decent amount of voice work and he voiced Batman in the excellent "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" cartoon.

You'll also remember him as the sheriff from that Simpsons episode where they go on spring break and accidentally "kill" an alligator.

Nicole Sullivan from MadTV has done some good voice acting too.

You ever see "Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker"? It is a great movie. Especially that twist ending.

Even though he only did a few things, Orson Welles as Unicron in the original Transformers movie is still one of the best acting jobs I've ever heard.

Huh.
Never knew that. Cool!

June Foray is a f*cking legend. I'm sad that her death was so casually treated by the media. She deserved much more praise.

I stopped watching Family Guy years ago because the revived show sucks ass and is nothing like the first three seasons, which were magical and hilarious. That said, I love Seth MacFarlane's voice because American Dad is my favorite cartoon show. Stan Smith is awesome, but Roger is my spirit guide.

Alan Tudyk is making for a pretty fun voice actor.

Mel Blanc is legendary. And there was also ... Paul Frees.

"A contemporary of voice actor Mel Blanc, Frees was known as 'The Man of a Thousand Voices'." (Wikipedia)

Honorable mentions to:
Clancy Brown
Kevin Conroy
Mark Hamill

Fred Tataiscore, especially his Hulk.

Frank Welker as Megatron
Leonard Nimoy as Galvatron(who Megatron was transformed into)
Orson Welles as Unicron

Jesus these were some of the best voice acted scenes I've ever seen to this day. Orson could have done so much more if he hadn't died right before this movie came out.

"For a tiiiime, I considered sparing your wretched little Cybertron. But now, you must witness it's...DISMEMBERMENT!!!" Then he b*tch smacks the planet. And what makes it worse is when you realize he smacked his brother because Galvatron pissed him off.

HulkIsHulk
Keith David too

KingD19
Goliath is one of the beat acted cartoon characters ever.

HulkIsHulk
Gargoyles was awesome

riv6672
Albert Brooks has voiced three characters (prob. more I need to check) I like very much.

Marlin
the neurotic heroic dad in FINDING NEMO.

Tiberius
the Hawk trying to be a good bird in SECRET LIFE OF PETS.

Hank Scorpio
the evil villain yet really good corporate boss on THE SIMPSONS.
