I was usually red in the face after I got done with Stewie scenes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">MacFarlane went on to highlight a different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvline.com\/2100662\/shameless-william-h-macy-voice-family-guy-brian-griffin\/\" target=\"_blank\">challenge he faced in voicing Brian Griffin<\/a>, particularly when delivering lines that were emotional and not so funny. He explained, &#8220;There was no silly voice to hide behind. You know, Brian&#8217;s voice is slightly altered, but essentially my own voice.&#8221; MacFarlane said that having to deliver straight or emotive dialogue in what was basically his natural speaking voice was one of the most challenging aspects of portraying Brian. As perhaps the closest thing the Griffin family has to a voice of reason, Brian is often left to deliver the most meaningful lines.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n    &#013;<br \/>\n<\/article>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvline.com\/2124772\/seth-macfarlane-family-guy-easiest-voice-tom-tucker\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#013; &#013; &#013; &#013; &#013; &#013; &#013; &#013; &#013; &#013; Dimitrios Kambouris\/Getty Images Seth MacFarlane not only created &#8220;Family Guy,&#8221; but he also voices several characters on the animated comedy series.
