David Matranga
David Matranga is an American voice actor who works for (formerly) ADV Films and Seraphim Digital Studios. Not to be confused for Dave Matranga, who is a baseball player. He's not a photographer. That's David N. Matranga. Before you say anything, he is not related to musician Jonah Matranga. David is just David.
David isn't that new to voice acting. He just isn't as well-known. That's unfortunate, considering that he's talented. However, he also does film and theatre work.
Often casted alongside with Luci Christian, particularly if the ADR director's name happens to be Steven Foster.
Somewhat of a successor to Chris Patton since David is often cast as young snarky men and teenagers with a troubled past.

"David! We're supposed to get older when we get older, not look exactly the same!" |

- Pigeonholed Voice Actor: David's characters are often Troubled but Cute young men and teenagers that are snarky with deeper voices. Super Milk inverts this, and it's scary if you're familiar with his most of his other work. Robodog has a raspy, metallic screech. Ario sounds like a stereotypical baby. Given his situation, you can't really blame him for crying all the time.
Let's show him how to feel the rainbow!
