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.

Huh? Up ahead...it's his Myspace page!

David Matranga provides examples of the following tropes:
- As Himself / Adam Westing: In ADV's Super Milk dub. He portrays an aggressive and immature version of himself. In reality, he seems to be a humble and very sweet man. During an interview for a Highschool of the Dead cable special, he said that in a zombie apocalypse he, "probably wouldn't be the hero." See above for more about that interview.
- Bishonen: Most of his more prominent roles.
- Cloudcuckoolander: He plays a slightly loopy history teacher in Stages Repertory Theatre's production of The Complete History of America (Abridged).
- Hey, It's That Guy!: In Law and Order Special Victims Unit and As the World Turns (about 17 minutes in)
- Older Than They Look: As of 2011/04/20, David is 32. To quote a comment on his Facebook profile:
 |
"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!
