That Bill Carruthers himself was the Whammy's voice?

According to this link, he was.

It may be a credible source, but I would still assume that Steve Holland was the Whammy's voice.

I always thought the same thing. The Whammy's voice does get deeper in the later animations, so obviously there was a change in voice actor. I do know Bill Kopp took over the reigns when Savage Steve Holland left to direct "Better Off Dead", so it's possible that Carruthers himself did the voice acting, although Carruthers' voice seemed pretty hoarse. OK, I am thinking WAY too much about this. ;)
