    I can only think of a few:

    - Scatman Crothers (G1 Jazz)
    - Buster Jones (G1 Blaster - while he was a DJ I think he had prior musical experience)
    - Grey DeLisle (ROTF Arcee)
    - Weird Al Yankovic (TFA Wreck-Gar)
    - Troy Baker (RID2015 Steeljaw)


    Does anyone know any more?

    Scott sang when he portrayed Mountain Evil and did surprisingly well.

    David Kaye can do the Rubber Ducky song in BW Megs' voice.

    I think he actually plays guitar, too.

    Johnny Yong Bosch (WFC Bumblebee) is the lead singer of a band.

    I read from TFwiki that Troy Baker has a band.

    Also the entire cast of Rescue Bots did a musical episode where they sang pretty well.

    Everytime I read Gary Chalk, I have to think of the Sliders episode where he wore a kilt ... aaargh

    It's hard to imagine Steve Blum singing in that Heatwave voice :lol 

    I'm not sure if he can, but I'd love to hear John Moschitta Jr. sing in Blurr's voice. He could probably sing fairly well in his regular voice, but Blurr's would be interesting.

    I like Jess Harnell's singing voice, and I love both of those songs. The Halloween song feels very cinematic, "epic", perfect for a parade or music video or something. Well, it already is a parade song, of course. And he's the lead singer of Rock Sugar, which does mash ups of 80's ish songs.

    Well, I was referring to people who have actual singing careers. Voice actors who can sing well is not really the same thing.


    That's really cool.

    I can confirm that Gary Chalk plays both guitar and piano wonderfully.


    I imagine most voice actors have at least reasonably good singing voices, there's a lot of overlap in terms of vocal control between the two skills.

    I believe Jim Byrnes (BW Inferno) had a musical career.

    Then, of course, there's Eric Idle's turn as a bard: "Brave Sir Robin ran away..." :D 

    Also there's John Goodman (AOE Hound) as a Blues Brothers member as well as singing "If I Didn't Have You" from the Monsters Inc soundtrack.

    I'm pretty sure Phil Lamarr can sing. He voiced Jazz and Omega Supreme in the Transformers Animated series.

    Indeed; he's a blues musician.

    Which is kind of hilarious when you remember he played possibly the most nuts character of the entire Predacon crew aside from Tarantulas. :p 

    Omega was Kevin Michael Richardson, not Phil LaMarr (at least for Season 2).

    LaMarr voiced Omega Supreme in Season 3 as well as Jetstorm and a few other lesser characters.

    Hence why I said "At least for Season 2." :p

    Funny you mentioned Tarantulas...
    I learned at Botcon 2001 that Alec Willows is mainly a stage actor, which I believe included musicals. (I asked him if he had ever used his Tarantulas laugh on stage. He just chuckled and said no :p )

    He can sing that unending part from Weird Ad's 'Hardware Store'.
