For a long time, Scott/Kaiser and I mulled how over anyone ever cast to dub over a character played by Ryuusei Nakao (i.e., not just Freeza) just flat-out either COULDN'T replicate the type of voice he has, or they'd opt out and try the shrill, sorta creepy, expected sort of scratchy voice (Mayuri Kurotsuchi, for instance) instead of trying to go for exactly what he sounds like...I was wrong, however.
Woah, Linda Young sounds just like Nakao now!? :lol:

We have already heard Frieza's voice already haven't we? And it was the same, wasnt it?

I find that as a 'win' right off, but I "guess" they could change with each form like Cell does.

There was a filler character in One Piece who was voiced by Ryuusei Nakao, and then dubbed fairly appropriately into English by Kenny Green. I felt that if Green deepened it a bit, and gave a bit of Freeza's polite, flamboyant attitude, that it could work for an English Freeza.

Kenny Green is the shit. Though I'd rather have him as Cell... He was a great Norio Wakamoto substitute in this one series I love.

Guys, the way these people who seem to know about the whole Freeza dub in Kai situation are indicating that it will obviously be just one voice and will not change any form so rid that dumb idea out. I personally am hoping for J. Micheal Tatum to voice Freeza for this new dub as he did WONDERS for Eneru in the One Piece dub.

Well, FUNi puts a filter over Linda's voice for each form. So each form sounds sorta different.

I've been saying this for ages. It would be so awesome.

It's Newstone. Pauline Newstone.

Oh, and remember that Linda Young was billed as Linda Chambers back when she first started on the role.

Like full-on crying or like "It was such an honor to do that voice -single tear-" crying?

Either way she has been getting very harsh criticism, feel bad for her. :?
