Very close, and much better than Linda Young.
But I feel it's a little too deep for Freeza.

Still think Frieza would be best with an evil British accent. What do you British guys think?

What do Australians think of Planet Australia Jeice?

Are you kidding me? That voice would be awesome for Freeza. His Eneru voice was really powerful and gave me chills down my spine when I was watching it.

This might be a long shot but, if Jeice is from a different planet - how can he have an Australian accent? On top of that, Freeza says "Pop goes the weasel" which is a phrase that originates from Earth. How can Freeza possibly know that?

EDIT: My bad, wrote popo instead of pop.

The same way they speak English and use minutes/hours/days to keep time.

Never mind one alien with a bad Australian accent, what about the other 800 people and aliens running around sounding like American voice actors!

I agree to be honest, I just seem to prefer American voice actors. Might be because I grew up in Central London so I wasn't exposed to proper British accents, instead it was all that 'innit', 'ain't', 'buh-uh' (butter), 'saink' (something). Glad I've dropped all that from my vocab now.

He knows what a dinosaur is, and that was in Japanese too.

On another note, Kai dub is gonna premiere at anime convention I'm going to next month. The English voices of Kaioshin/Dr. Gero/Tao Pie Pie, new Puar, Broly and Japanese Krillin will also be there as guests.

To be fair, Toei did throw in some dinosaurs on Namek during Bulma's filler. :p

Also, threw together my own little vid on what Freeza would sound like if he were voiced by Jerry Jewell:

At that point, Freeza's tone of voice was rather light and calm. He doesn't get incredibly pissed until a little after saying something to the effect of "never having been made such a fool of before."

True. I guess Mr. Jewell could lower his voice.
