Funny, because I feel the same way as the original JPN voice for Tenshinhan. I know people on this forum love it, but it just sounds like a generic deep Japanese voice. The acting is fine, but doesn't leave much of an impression beyond that.
I think Hirotoki Suzuoki's Tenshinhan was very well acted and badass yet natural. He captured everything that Tenshinhan was about. John Burgmeier's Tenshinhan sounds scratchy and too tensed even in normal situations.
It's not. I'm not sure what you are hearing, but that accent was gone over a decade and a half ago.
Sabat's more or less using his natural voice
to me his current Yamcha is a slightly refined version of his older yamcha that's it, its not charming. As far as using natural voice is corncerned, Toru has voiced Amuro Ray and all those kinds of younger characters so his voice naturally lends itself to those type of character whereas Sabat voice is deep and its much MORE fitting for middle aged buffed up man Like Armstrong and Almight not Yamcha and it sounds even more forced when he starts using his natural Voice for him.
Why does it matter if he uses the same voice for a different series? And why does it matter if he's just using his voice but pitched down? It fits the character. Like I said, you can tell Vegeta and Piccolo are voiced by the same actor, but the voices for those characters are distinct.
While grinding my gears is a little doesn't exactly describe my feeling, it does at least bug me when people complain about actors using the same voice for two different shows.
My problem is less about actors using the same voice for two different shows but more with Sabat's Piccolo sounding similar to his vegeta even more in newer dubs, if they were related then it would have been no problem but they aren't that's the problem they should not Sound similar.

Not one english voice really seems to "get" the character - Schemmel has gotten much better over the the years (the Kai episode the other day where he bargains old the Old Kaioshin was pretty good I thought) but he still doesn't do it for me, particularly his "serious" Goku. His Kaio is rotten though and always has been.
Sabat's Vegeta just sounds...like a strained cartoon character. I feel like he's in incredible pain whenever he voices the character. Not a big fan of his Piccolo either - it's still too deep and "monstrous" sounding, and I hear Vegeta in the voices lots of times. For what it's worth, his Yamcha is pretty good.
Yes nowdays he has a habit of making Gokū sound overly angry and Gruff and i know it sounds Macho and Badass but it doesn't really Sound like Gokū to me when he makes him sound that gruff. As far as Sabat is concerned, his voice for vegeta sounds Angry most of the time even if he is not supposed to sound that way at that particular moment and i also have the same issue with his Piccolo and vegeta sounding similar too. I have stated my opinion on his Yamcha.
