Cam, Inside Out

So after years of playing Tales of Symphonia and swooning over Kratos Aurion like everyone else, I decided to look at the voice actor behind the character and fell in love with Cam Clarke's work. It's been five months since I've become a die-hard fan, buying almost everything Mr. Clarke has been in (Honey and Clover, Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood, Eternal Sonata) and a fan of his music. Everytime I hear it, I swoon because of his voice and can't wait for the day I meet him in person. 

I have lots of respect for him, especially since he's so open about his sexuality (although I wish he wasn't---he is one handsome, elder man in my opinion), and have been inspired by him to re-pursue my dreams of voice-acting in the video game and anime industry. If anything, I would like to work with him one day because that would be so freaking awesome!

Hi there!

I have just stumbled across this community and thought I would introduce myself ^_^!

I'm Emma, 22 and from the UK. I am a big fan of Cam Clarke, mainly for his work as Ryudo from Grandia II which so happens to be my favourite video game! I was actually lucky enough to meet him at London Expo October 2005! As a cosplayer I went as Grandia II character Elena and my two other friends went as Ryudo and Millenia. Cam Clarke was a really great person to meet, so down to earth and spent time to talk with you!

Here is a photo of Cam and our cosplaying group! ^_^;

I am glad there is a community for Cam Clarke fans, I cannot believe I did not find this sooner ^__~

I must have been sleeping under a rock not to find this community!

Okay, well, since I'm new, lemme just introduce myself. I'm Dee, a huge Cam Clarke fan!!!! When I was younger, I watched Lion King 2 and LOVED the song "We Are One" though at the time I didn't know who sang it. Not only did it sound so great, but the meaning was good too (I even used it for a school project once).

Then, a few years later, I bought Jade Empire and totally loved Sky. I searched both IMDB and the credits of the game itself and found out that Cam voiced him. Okay, so I knew. Then, my friend Julie told me about this super awesome game called Tales of Symphonia. She told me her favourite character was Kratos Aurion, and when she came to my house and I showed her Jade Empire, she'd all like "Sky sounds like Kratos" and I said, "Well, he'd voiced by Cam Clarke." And she's like "Yeah! That's who plays Kratos!" Then I looked up on IMDB all his roles (finding out that he sang one of my favourite songs in a Disney movie ever, and played Simba in Kingdom hearts). Ever since, I've loved him and his work. I've only had a few "favourite" actors (I don't consider them my favourite unless I like more than one thing they're in).

I was a little disappointed to find out he was gay (all the great guys seem to be LOL) but now, I don't mind. I respect him for being so open and even singing songs about it (he was right, there aren't a lot of songs about people who are gay or lesbian, and is that really fair?). I really wanted to get some of those songs for my Ipod or even just to hear them, but I can't seem to find any and the clips on the internet are so short. Anyone able to point me in the right direction to the complete songs?

Sorry for double posting, but I wanted to share this news I found!  Cam will be making his second convention appearance at Another Anime Convention in Manchester, NH!  For more info follow the LINK here!

Hi!  I totally forgot I was a member of this community!  Rather bizarre.  Anyway, I just found something of interest.  Did anyone know Cam attended the London Expo last October 30?  I just read at Robotech.com that this is Cam's first appearance ever at a convention, and what better way than to start in London!  The guy who wrote the review said there was a huge crowd of people around his booth, some of them having to wait two hours to get an autograph!  Here's a photo I found in his collection:



He said he couldn't get a clear shot of Cam due to all of the people at the booth.  That's as close as he got!  I wonder now if Cam will ever visit San Diego Comic Con?  That'd be nice!

I literally just squealed in delight just now.
I'm currently playing Kingdom Hearts 2 and I'm in the Pride Lands.
I thought the voice of Simba sounded VEEEEEEEEEEEERY familiar, but not like the Simba in the first or second movie.
Out of curiosity I checked IMDB.com (I love that site) and my suspicions were correct.
Cam plays the voice of Simba! ^____^
HURRAY!
...now I just want him to burst out into song. >:3

Why was I not aware there was a Cam Clarke fanclub? O_o
Well, I'm joining now! Let's see, my favourite Cam Clarke characters are Kratos Aurion and Die Fledermaus! ^_^
I say Cam Clarke is one of the coolest voice actors in existance, and... Well... Yeah, that's it really. Be nice to me! ^^'

I just thought of looking this up and I can't believe there is actually a Cam Clarke group. I just had to join. I have been a fan of him for many years. All through his video game voices. It started with Liquid Snake. . . . ahh Metal Gear.

Anyway. I just wanted to post and say thank you for starting a community to a voice actor who actually does a good job and seems to actually enjoy his work.

Ok you diehard Cam Clarke fans, I have a question for you:

I was on Amazon just looking for anything Cam Clarke (DVDs, posters, books) and up came two book titles -

"Humor: How to Be a Total Californian"
and
"The best two years of our lives (Occasional paper)"

both written by a Cam Clarke, but I'm not sure if it is "my" (hehe for the lack of a better term...) Cam Clarke that wrote the books. I even looked all over the web trying to find out (IMDB, Cam's own website) for the answer without any luck. :(

So can someone out there please tell me if those two books are indeed written by him??

Thanks! I appreciate all of your help...

I'm putting this behind a cut because it may contain spoilers for "Tales of Legendia". I just thought it was cute and I should share... I should also mention that I'm currently getting over the flu and heavily medicated... :)
