Favorite English narrators

I met Mr. Swaile too.

There's also the whole bit of auditions going differently. On commentary on YYH, Mr. Sabat said he tried out for Hiei before getting Kuwabara, and others said it was hard to cast Yusuke.

Ah, well. Still would've been nice to have him there, all the same. But eh. :/

I am aware that Chandler was credited as such, but from what I've seen of FUNi's GT the narrator sounded a hell of a lot like Sabat. It could be another instance of FUNi crediting the wrong actors to their characters (or in this case, the narrator) like what's happened recently in the redub.

Someone with an accute sense of hearing and the will to actually watch FUNi's horrendous GT dub could probably confirm whether it's Chandler or Sabat.

I put a small video clip for those who want to hear the GT narrator.

In the credits he is listed as Andrew T. Chandler, but as Dark Vegeta-Sama pointed out, that could be wrong.

Could be they just sound similar. Like how some characters voiced by Jim Cummings and John Dimaggio sound similar. Or how some guys think dub Yajirobe and Kuwabara sound similar, though they're voiced by 2 different people.

I at first thought that Mike McFarland voiced Kuwabara because he sounds nearly identical to Yajirobe.

Oh and I don't care what you guys say. Kyle Hebert's monster-truck announcer parody is fucking golden.

Hey I used to think Jon Burgmeier voiced Kaioshin because I thought he sounded like Kurama.
