Creating your dream cast for DB
Goes for DB - Z - GT - Kai.
Curious on what some people what certain characters to be voiced by had. If they had the chance to pick a voice for Db characters. I would't change a lot of the cast. Perhaps I would use some of the Older Cast(That was in Z) for DBZ Kai(Such as the Ginyu Force).
This can go for ANY dub.

Re: Creating your dream cast for DB
Well, if it's the Japanese cast, I would only bring back to life those VAs who have passed over the years, so they could still play their old roles. Especially Hirotaka Suzuoki, Daisuke Gouri, and Kenji Utsumi.
As for the English dub cast? Wow, that's a toughie. As much as I bag on the DBZ cast, it would be difficult to find others who could actually capture the characters as well as the Japanese cast. There'd probably be a lot of the newer VAs from Kai. Years ago I put together a "dream cast" that I now look at with revulsion.

Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Re: Creating your dream cast for DB
Well I don't have any problems with the Funimation or Japanese casts so this is less of a dream cast and more of "what I think would be cool" cast.

Dragon Ball, dubbed in California:
Goku, Gohan, Goten - Kate Higgins
Vegeta - Wally Wingert
Piccolo - Tom Wyner
Kuririn - Sam Reigel
Trunks - Yuri Lowenthal
Yamcha - Johnny Yong Bosch
Tenshinhan - Steve Blum (Blum could probably pull off Kuririn and Yamcha as well; not so much Goku)
Chaozu - Mona Marshall
Freeza - Terrence Stone
Cell - Richard Epcar
Buu - Michael Lindsay
EDIT: A bizarro universe where the Japanese cast doesn't exist/have all passed...
Goku, Gohan, Goten - Ikue Ohtani
Vegeta - Junichi Suwabe
Piccolo - Nobutoshi Canna
Kuririn - Houko Kuwashima
Trunks - Junichi Kanemaru
Yamcha - Masakazu Morita
Tenshinhan - Katsuyuki Konishi
Mr. Satan - Kenta Miyake
Cell - Jouji Nakata
Buu - Taiten Kusunoki
I'm at a loss for a suitable Freeza replacement. Hopefully, Nakao never dies.

Re: Creating your dream cast for DB
I posted theeeeese in another thread
I might come up with a few more names if I think about it.
I'd love a dub using big names, though actually, Tina Fey would be awesome as Bulma, but Alec Baldwin would be awesome as Vegeta too... dammit 30 Rock.

Aaron Paul as Krillin in DBZ Abridged... I just imagine all the lolz. Ok for real though, Henry Rollins as Piccolo.
Gohan: "You're a Buddhist." Kuririn: "A hungry Buddhist!"

Re: Creating your dream cast for DB
Big names for Dragon Ball. Unlikely, but it's fun to think about.
David Attenborough as Kaio
Jennifer Lawrence as #18
Arnold Schwarzenegger as #16
Dan Castellaneta as Appule
Oh, and I posted these in a thread from April this year:
Looking back, I think I'd like to hand the role of Beerus to Albert Brooks...for some reason.

Hulh Hogan as Mr Satan .
Re: Creating your dream cast for DB
I don't know if it's an attachment to Ryo Horikawa, but I've always had difficulty dream casting Vegeta. Something about the character makes it hard to imagine him with an English voice. Even Sabat's skill in the role in Kai is more incidental than anything.
A long time ago I heard Mark Hamill as a suggestion, who could be genius in the role if he approached it like Ozai; ego masking mania.

Re: Creating your dream cast for DB
Whenever I listen to 「Ya」 na Koto ni wa Genki-Dama!! I think it'd be pretty funny to hear Hironobu Kageyama as Goku.
Yeah, obviously he's a singer with some limited acting experience, and his voice would be a huge difference from Nozawa's, so perhaps it wouldn't be the best fit but he's very a energetic guy even in now in his 50s. Plus, Super Survivor showed he's got some lungs on him.
Maybe it'd be weirdly awesome... or awkward (who knows).
(Even though I was joking I'll just make it clear that I don't want anyone replacing Nozawa).
Some FUNimation dub suggestions:
I'm curious to hear what Sean Schemmel would be like as Bardock and would've had Brice Armstrong replace him as North Kaio, if he hadn't retired.
I also wish that Uub, Adjutant Black, and any other black characters I'm forgetting would be voiced by black voice actors. I've never liked Uub's dub voice, and Christopher Sabat seemed like he couldn't decide whether to use his current Piccolo voice, his Recoome voice, or his Piccolo Daimao voice for Black in Dragon Ball Movie 4 - based on the couple of times I watched it dubbed. (I am aware Black's not actually "black" in that movie).
Sonny Strait as Yajirobe, maybe? To go with what's said in the manga about him sounding like Kuririn.
Oh yeah, and "Old Bastard" as everyone in the Big Green du...oh, wait!

Re: Creating your dream cast for DB
The problem with that is there aren't a lot of black voice actors in Texas. That was a thing explained when some folks were wondering why they didn't get an actual black man to play Garterbelt in Panty & Stocking. Heck, outside Todd Haberkorn, Monica Rial, and Brina Palencia in Kai, the cast is pretty much all Caucasian. Doesn't matter, but just letting ya know.Ryu-Ken Bakuhatsu wrote: Some FUNimation dub suggestions:
