Drymon said, 'Steve Hillenburg wanted to find an original sounding voice for SpongeBob.'
Hillenburg utilized Kenny's and other people's personalities to help create the personality of SpongeBob. The voice of SpongeBob was originally used by Kenny for a minor character in Rocko's Modern Life.
Kenny forgot the voice initially as he created it only for that single use. Hillenburg, however, remembered it when he was coming up with SpongeBob and used a video clip of the episode to remind Kenny of the voice. Kenny says that SpongeBob's high-pitched laugh was specifically created to be unique. They wanted an annoying laugh in the tradition of. Voice acting veteran Clancy Brown voices, SpongeBob's boss at the.
For the character, Brown uses a voice that he describes as 'piratey' with 'a little Scottish brogue.' According to him, his Mr.
Krabs voice was improvised during his audition and it was not challenging for him to find the correct voice. Bumpass provides the voice of, and other characters. Squidward was 'a very nasally, monotone kind of guy', said Bumpass. He said that the character 'became a very interesting character to do' because of 'his sarcasm, and then his frustration, and then his apoplexy, and so he became a wide spectrum of emotions'.Mr. Lawrence had met Hillenburg previously on Rocko's Modern Life. When working on the pilot episode of SpongeBob, Hillenburg invited him to audition for all of the characters. Since other voices had been found for the main cast already, Lawrence started out by voicing a variety of minor characters.
This included, who was initially only set to appear in one episode. Lawrence stated in an interview with Thomas F. Wilson that Nickelodeon executives told Hillenburg, 'we could this. You know, we could have do this voice.' And Steve was just like, 'it's Doug Lawrence, don't you hear it?

Lawrence often improvise their characters' dialogue. In 2009, Lawrence called improvisation his 'favorite part of the voice over.' He elaborated in a 2012 interview, saying, 'I always enjoy the back-and-forth. Talley and I start to actually overlap so much talking to each other that the voice directors have to tell us, 'hey, stop doing that, separate what you're saying!' 'Fagerbakke voices SpongeBob's best friend, a named. He auditioned for the role after Kenny had been cast as SpongeBob. Fagerbakke said, 'Steve is such a lovely guy, and I had absolutely no feeling for the material whatsoever.'
He described his experience in the audition, saying 'I was just going in for another audition, and I had no idea what was in store there in terms of the remarkable visual wit and really the kind of endearing child-like humanity in the show. I couldn't pick that up from the audition material at all. I was just kind of perfunctorially trying to give the guy what he wanted.'
Carolyn Lawrence provides ' voice. When Lawrence was on a sidewalk in with a friend who knew SpongeBob SquarePants Donna Grillo, her friend said to the director that Lawrence had 'an interesting voice'. Grillo invited Lawrence to audition and she then got the role. Puff's voice is provided by American actress, who is known for her live-action roles on television programs from the 1970s such as.
As of 2017, voicing Mrs. Puff has become her only remaining regular television role; Catlett described herself as 'basically retired' in 2013, since she feels that voicing Mrs. Puff requires less preparation than her performances in person. Lori Alan voices Pearl. During her audition for the role, she was shown an early drawing of Pearl and took note of how the character was much larger than the rest of the cast. She decided to reflect the character's size in her voice by making it deep and full in tone. She aimed to make Pearl's voice invoke the sound of whales’ low vocalizations while also sounding 'spoiled and lovable.'
In an interview with, Alan said that she knew Pearl 'had to sound somewhat like a child,' but at the same time needed 'an abnormally large voice.' In the 'Christmas Who?' , the characters of Patchy the Pirate, the president of the fictional SpongeBob SquarePants fan club, and his pet called Potty the Parrot debuted.
The former is portrayed by Kenny in, while series creator Hillenburg voiced the latter. After Hillenburg's departure as the series' in 2004, Tibbitt was given the role voicing Potty the Parrot.

Irwin also provides the voices of other characters in the show, including Margaret SquarePants, SpongeBob's mother.Voice recording sessions always include a full cast of actors, which Kenny describes as 'getting more unusual'. Kenny said, 'That's another thing that's given SpongeBob its special feel. Everybody's in the same room, doing it old radio-show style.
It's how the stuff we like was recorded'. It takes about four hours to record an 11-minute episode.
For the first three seasons, Hillenburg and Drymon sat in on recording sessions at Nickelodeon Studios, and they directed the actors. In the fourth season, took over the role as the voice director.
