Top Ten African-American Voice Actors
Kevin Michael Richardson is an American actor and voice actor who has portrayed a multitude of characters in various animated series and video games. He is known for his extremely deep voice and has been playing a wide variety of characters since the early 1990s, often villains. For voicing Joker in The Batman, he was nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards. Why is he at the bottom? He should be number 1, Phil LaMarr should be number 2, Keith David should be number 3, and Keith Ferguson (I am pretty sure he is mixed race) should be number 4.
Estelle Fanta Swaray, simply known as Estelle, is a British singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress from West London, England. She doesn't deserve a spot above Kevin Richardson, Phil LaMarr, Cree Summer, and Khary Payto. For voicing 1 character in a show you like. Her talent comes from her music.

Raven-Symoné Christina Pearman, sometimes credited as Raven, is an American actress, singer, songwriter, television personality, and producer.
Can be pigeonholed a bit sometimes with always getting the villain roles, but he has his vocal range. He's arguably one of the best examples of African-American English dub anime voice actors in recent times, pulling off brilliant roles like Johan Liebert from Monster and Hisoka from Hunter x Hunter. He does play against type, though; one notable example being one of my personal favorites, Vector the Crocodile from Sonic the Hedgehog.
