Was _ really that bad/good as _?

Ree · Post by **Ree** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 11:10 am

Inspired by the Stephanie Gohan thread. in this one, someone asks a question, them another guy answers it and makes one up and so on.

Example:
Ree: Was Justin Cooke really that good as Raditz?
ABED: No he's a bad actor and he tries too hard to sound cool.
Was Tiffany Vollmer really that bad as Bulma?
Kaiserneko: Yes she sounded like a valley girl and the acting was bad.
Was Greg Ayres really that bad as Guldo?

And so on

Rules:
No BG/Malaysian actors but other foreign actors can be listed

I'll start:

Ree: Was Dale Kelly really that bad as Cpt. Ginyu?

Dale Kelly was awful as Ginyu. He just wasn't a good actor, it was all so over the top, but not in an awesome way. He's even worse as a DB narrator. The thing is, I think he has an interesting voice, and I think it could've fit Ginyu, he simply lacked the acting ability/experience and a good script.

Dale Kelly was awesome. FUNi's reason for firing him was pretty stupid.

Why did they fire him?

I heard it was something about him giving music ideas he wanted to include, and FUNi terminated him in response.

Really they didn't just reject him?

So it's not really why he was fired, it's just conjecture?

Why shouldn't we discuss the Big Green or Malaysian actors? These are legitimate (cough) products, that have just as much official standing as the other dubs. If you're going to show favoritism, at least try not to make it completely blatant.

Was Latino Goku (I don't know his name) really that good as Goku?

Ree · Post by **Ree** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 11:45 am

Kamiccolo9 i did not include them because everyone is going to say the same thing and I wanted to make it interesting
And if I was showing favoritism I would have also said "no ocean and Westwood actors"but i didn't
And i don't even like the Malaysian dub

TheGmGoken you mean Mario whatever his last name is? His screams are great from what I heard.

Was Vic Mignogna really that good as Burter?

ABED · Post by **ABED** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 11:51 am

Yes, I do think Vic was good as Bahta, Sabat was passable in his later years of voicing the character, and Vic is way better than the first inhouse actor who played Bahta, Mark Britten.

I was never a fan of the Mexican voice for Goku, I don't think it fits Goku.

Absolutely. Best English Dub Burter we've gotten.

Ree · Post by **Ree** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 11:56 am

ABED what about compared to Alec Willows? (the original)

ABED · Post by **ABED** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 12:26 pm

Both are very similar. I like Vic and Willows a lot.

Ree · Post by **Ree** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 2:41 pm

At least he's not Mark

Was Zoe Slusar really that good as Goku?

Was Peter Kelamis really that good as Goku?

I don't know how I would place him in comparison to Schemmel in Kai, seeing as I've watched very little of Kai in English, but he is certainly able to channel the goofier/playful aspect of Goku's personality relatively well, not making him sound as superhero-esque as Corlett or early Schemmel. If you ever have watched the Ocean dub of the first three Z movies, he does particularly well based off of what I've seen, especially in The World's Strongest. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuViG2-w_To Not that I think a dub actor has to necessarily sound like the Japanese voice, but he does sound Nozawa-esque in this clip, which is cool.

1:50 was scarily accurate. I literally could not believe my ears.

That being said...

Was Daisuke Gori-san really good/better (than) as Chris Sabat?

If you're referring to the English VA for Mr. Satan, his name is Chris Rager. I personally love Rager's voice for the character. It's so over the top in a good way, even in the original Z dub
