We already know the FUNimation English dub cast for Universe 6. Frost was already voiced in Xenoverse 2 by Greg Ayres (Chris' brother), and unlike some of the other voices that received heavy criticism and perhaps necessitated a recast (see: Hit), Frost wasn't one of them.

The only voice i'm actually remotely interested in to hear in english is the Omni-King. Oh and maybe the Grand Priest and Goku Black too, but that's not for this arc. I want to hear Zeno-sama's voice!

Um, first of all, no. They will NEVER get Linda Young back for either Frieza or Frost. Ever since Chris started voicing him, they've held to having him in the role. Plus, with the whole "Young VS Ayres" debates that keep cropping up, I'm doubting they'll wanna rock the boat any more.
Second, they already have an understudy, did you not know? Daman Mills voiced Frieza for a few lines towards the end of the arc & if Chris doesn't get better by the time they dub the arc, he'll most likely take over.
Third, did you not know it's Greg, his brother, voicing Frost? They've never had family members be voiced by the same person outside of young Goku & Gohan & young Vegeta & Trunks (in Kai). Seriously, it's been confirmed since one of the first few DLC packs came out for Xenoverse 2 that he's voicing Frost. The only recast we've had so far from the game to Super is Hit, so I'm doubting they've recasted him without letting everyone know.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

I don't get you, I really don't.
1. They only recast Ayres because he got sick & had to have major surgery done to save his life. That's it. Daman Mills also sounds almost exactly like him too, so if you hate Chris' Frieza voice, sorry, but the guy they have can sound almost exactly like him for Frieza. If you need a source, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MebPM73k5U0.
2. What part of Greg as Frost sounded "childish"? As far as I can tell, he sounds almost exactly like Frieza, which he's supposed to anyways, as you can tell here: https://youtu.be/S7spLtuFnLM?t=59s. Not childish at all. Your argument makes no sense.
3. Now that I read your statement again, do you actually think Chris was supposed to voice both like the Japanese VA? No, he's not. Greg has been voicing Frost since earlier this year as a means of being a cool not to Chris. Greg's been doing some voices for DB ever since Kai & he's not gonna stop. Plus, why does Frost have to sound 100% like Frieza? He's his counterpart in U6, but he's not a clone. Having a voice that's mostly there is a great idea & having Chris' brother do it is a great choice.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

Australia's anime streaming service, Animelab just added the dub of Dragon Ball Super's first 13 episodes. I believe this is the dubs first time up for legal streaming right?

Unless FUNi have been holding out on us, yeah, it seems so.

Oh shit, that's awesome! I have a subscription with AnimeLab and I didn't even notice that. Thanks for pointing it out!

It's funny this happens on the day my Australian Blu Ray copy arrives in the mail. Given I already have a premium subscription, I'd consider it a waste of money. I paid 55 dollarydoos for a Blu Ray box and two adorable videos of Sonny Strait and Chris Sabat teaching their daughters about Dragon Ball.

So totally worth it in other words.

Daman Mills is an understudy for Freeza in case Chris Ayres is not able to voice him.

That's why paying attention to previous conversations in threads you post in is important.
Your saying his voice for Frost is "childish" is what I don't get. It sounds perfectly fine for him. Daman is his understudy who'll do his best to reproduce Chris' Frieza voice in the future if he can't come back, so get used to it.

Yeah, I feel the same way. People need to understand that not everyone thinks the same and we all have differing views on what we like, but that's what makes us fans. I routinely look through these posts and find sarcastic or rude replies from certain members when they find people aren't on the same page as them. It's really unnecessary over something that's essentially just a cartoon. In fact, I like Dragon Ball GT! Just wanted to end on a random opinion that most don't agree with to show that I can have my own opinion (Side note: I like some of Dragon Ball GT, not all).

Also, mad that Funimation is seemingly not going to release Super Part 3 until January. I'd prefer for the Blu-ray sets to be ahead of the broadcast like the old days, but I guess Funi is emulating Japan's "one episode a week anticipation rule" and they also want to capitalize off Super as long as they can because they don't know how long it will run for. It just sucks in this age of binge-watching that we have to wait when back in the day, Toonami aired four episodes a week. It's whatever though. Seems like the schedule I made below is now how they're going to be doing it for a while (I have no life).

Dragon Ball Super: Part 3 (Ep. 27-40 releasing January 2018)
Dragon Ball Super: Part 4 (Ep. 41-54 releasing April 2018)
Dragon Ball Super: Part 5 (Ep. 55-68 releasing July 2018)
Dragon Ball Super: Part 6 (69-82 releasing October 2018)
Dragon Ball Super: Part 7 (Ep. 83-96 releasing January 2019)

This pretty much means the broadcast will ALWAYS be ahead, sigh.

GT has some decent ideas, good animation, & a good ending, but I feel it really starts to go down hill at the tail end of the Baby Saga when Goku gets stranded in the mood-whiplashy-as-hell random filler involving that stupid extra-dimensional board game that was nothing but filler. After that, the writing takes a bit of a hit in quality after it improved after the hunt for the Black Star Dragon Balls.

As for that guy's opinion, for all your protesting about understanding other opinions, you guys aren't understanding my point of view either. I said I don't get his opinion, not that I care if he has it. It makes absolutely no sense to me because I simply just don't hear it. Yeah, it's different from Chris' Frieza, but it's not bad, or "childish" by any means. I just don't see it because I don't hear it whatsoever.
Not only that, but I just don't get how anyone can't like Chris Ayres' Frieza voice (even if you prefer Linda Young). He's just as good as Little Kuriboh, who's damn good in DBZA as him. He's just so deliciously evil & maniacal, a much-needed improvement from Linda Young, who never fit in the role no matter the scripting or direction. You can have whatever opinion you want, the reasoning just has to be clear & make sense, though.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.
