Re: Favorite Non-FUNi English Voices?
I agree with that. The Westwood dub may have been lackluster, but I'll gladly take Drummond's performance in that dub over Sabat. Sabat's overly throaty voice just made him unable to emote properly.Ripper 30 wrote:Brian Drummond - despite not having the Japanese audio he still managed to give vegeta a sinister Evil Voice and unlike Sabat he never sounded forced and also, he can scream and can show Vegata's Rage too specially that famous "MY WRATH" line he did so I hope Ocean dub dub Kai because I think Drummond voice is closer to Horikawa than Sabat so it will be intresting to see how his voice will be like if he tries to Imitate Ryō.
Laara Sadiq - I think her Chichi voice was good, it had that caring mother feel and still was able to sound nice when Chi chi was In Angry and atleast her Chi Chi doesn't Sounded like The "Raging Housewife" that Cynthia Cranz made chichi and it's not like she can't make her sound sweet because Cranz's Boten from Yu Yu Hakusho was good but she cannot really use that voice for Chi chi and now in Kai TFC she sounded even worse.
I think Cranz does a good job playing Botan, but I don't understand the need for a British accent.
Sadiq is good, but I prefer Lisa Ann Beley in the role.

Re: Favorite Non-FUNi English Voices?
Given that the dubs of the first three movies had a proper script and direction, we could have gotten a great dub for the show. I feel that people tend to underestimate the Ocean Group's talents, which is something that annoys me.Ripper 30 wrote:Maybe if Ocean dub had proper script and Direction then who knows we could have gotten a great dub.
I think Richard Ian Cox will do a much better job than Kelamis did in the Ocean Kai dub IMO.Ripper 30 wrote:Peter Kelamis - I think he is the best Goku voice in terms of actual voice I mean as Kelamis had that High Pitched voice which sounds similar to Japanese counterpart and it doesn't make goku sound Smart and his voice acting in World's Strongest Dub was great and his correct pronunciation of "KAIO KEN" was great too. Also,he tried to use Slang language in Movie 1 dub to show his Hick tone so I think he is one of my Favorite Non-FUNi Dub voices, too bad he doesn't voice goku anymore.

Think we all do.

Re: Favorite Non-FUNi English Voices?
Non-Funi voices I like:
-I think the guy that played Mr. Satan in Ocean was better than his Funi counterpart, because he actually sounded like a cheap, knockoff superhero, which is exactly what Mr. Satan is.
-Peter Kelamis - I think he's the best English Goku
-Brian Drummond's Vegeta
-Scott McNeil's Piccolo (but only because I grew up with this. It's nowhere near the JP Piccolo)
-Kuririn's Ocean VA does a really good job and is more in tune with who Kuririn is. Also, Sonny Strait sounds like he has a clothespin on his nose all the time.
-Ocean's Mr. (fat) Boo, IMO, is much better than the Funi voice, because he actually sounds like a grumpy toddler, instead of some Hello Kitty doll.

I agree Sonny's Kuririn at times sounds weird and at times like Popeye too.
I actually think Blue Waters Dub Boo was bearable of all English Dub voices but atleast Scott McNeil puts some effort in his Fat Boo unlike FUNi's Boo which sounds like a male doing a high pitched voice.

While I'm not the biggest fan of Strait's Krillin, he doesn't sound like Popeye anymore.
You find Blue Water Buu bearable?

Okay, I don't find it good but when compared to high Pitched Squeak of FUNi's Kuririn atleast it's more Bearable and also his Speech tone is not fucked up like FUNi Boo.

Re: Favorite Non-FUNi English Voices?
Another vote for Laara Saadiq's Chichi being pretty good. I always liked it.
I'm not sure how faithful it is to the original though. Her voice has this "upper crust" quality to it which fits a bit with her tiger mom personality, but doesn't she speak with the same "hick" accent that Goku has in the original version?

Re: Favorite Non-FUNi English Voices?
For Bang Zoom Super voices
Michele Ruff's Chi Chi, I'm a fan of her in general and love her voice.
Wendee Lee's Bulma, sexier than Rial but still sounds smart
Brian Beacock's Krillin, from what little I've heard
Jamison Price Mr Satan, I like Chis Rager better but he's still very good.
Michael McConnohie's Kaio, much better than Schemmel but not as good as Big Green Kaio.
