Tom Kenny has voiced SpongeBob SquarePants since 1999,creating one of the most recognizable cartoon voices in television history. Before SpongeBob, he was a stand-up comedian and worked on various animated shows including "Rocko's Modern Life." The voice of SpongeBob was inspired by the voice he used for a minor character in "Rocko's Modern Life." Kenny developed SpongeBob's iconic laugh after creator Stephen Hillenburg requested a laugh that sounded like "a dolphin mixed with a
seagull." He records episodes in group sessions with his fellow voice actors to maintain the natural chemistry between characters. Beyond SpongeBob, Kenny has voiced over 1000 characters including the Ice King in "Adventure Time" and the Mayor in "Powerpuff Girls." Despite his success, he still attends voice acting workshops and constantly works on expanding his vocal range. Kenny often visits children's hospitals in character as SpongeBob, bringing joy to sick children. He's won multiple Annie Awards and Emmys for his voice work.
湯姆·肯尼自1999年起為海綿寶寶配音，創造了電視史上最廣為人知的卡通角色聲音之一。在配海綿寶寶之前，他是位單口喜劇演員，也在多部動畫中配音，包括《洛可現代生活》。海綿寶寶的聲音靈感來自他在《洛可現代生活》中為一個小角色配音時的聲線。肯尼根據製作人史蒂芬·希倫伯格要求「像海豚混合海鷗的笑聲」，發展出海綿寶寶標誌性的笑聲。他與其他配音員一起錄製集數，以保持角色間的自然互動。除了海綿寶寶，肯尼還為超過1000個角色配音，包括《探險活寶》的冰霸王和《飛天小女警》的市長。儘管成就斐然，他仍參加配音工作坊，不斷擴展自己的聲域。肯尼經常以海綿寶寶的角色造訪兒童醫院，為病童帶來歡樂。他的配音工作獲得多座安妮獎和艾美獎。
