Interview with Jeff Manning, Smash 64 Announcer!


​
Recently, Source Gaming got the chance to interview Jeff Manning -- the announcer behind the original Super Smash Bros.!

In this first ever interview, Manning discusses what led him to become a voice actor, and shares some anecdotes about his time in Japan. The interview should give you a great idea of what kind of person Jeff is!

At this point, I shouldn't be surprised.
Yet, here I am, shocked that y'all were able to get the dude!

I'm not listening to a 40+ minute interview. Can someone give a summary about what he said actually related to the game? Thanks!

The interview isn't for you then.

He doesn't remember a lot about the recording process, as it was a long time ago. This interview gives you an idea of who Jeff Manning is as a person, and is the only interview he's done, as far as I'm aware.
