By essence you mean moments, because most of the time what I heard was terribly stiff, unnatural acting with a horrible accent.
Then you cant've been listening to Kelamis, because the description you gave matches Sean's season 3 Goku, and that is pretty damn obvious.
Kelamis never came off as forced. His acting for light hearted scenes is helped by a lighter sounding voice. He's a professional comedian so that may have helped him. It's not just light hearted, he can sound impressive even when Goku is serious and confident, as seen in the Reccomme fight, #19 fight and discussions relating to ascending beyond Super Saiyan.

By "piss poor, rushed dub" you mean the FUNimation dub. If you were referring to the Westwood/Ocean dub then you then you either haven't seen it, need to clean your ears out or you have a fundamentally unreasonable bias against it, which would be ironic/hypocritical considering you accuse penguintruth of that same thing.

I'm not a huge fan of any of the dub Roshis, to be honest, but at least Funimation got somebody completely different to be their Roshi at some point.
I was satisfied with all the Ocean dub Roshis as well as FUNi's Kai Roshi. Same actor but he's definitely improved.
However, the best dub Roshi has to be Dean Galloway for Blue Water Studios dub of Dragon Ball. He could sound wise, lecherous, serious, authoritative and comedic. It was brilliant.
penguintruth wrote:By the way, that scene where Goku has recovered? I've seen the Westwood version of that, and Kelamis is damn good in that. Even Chi-Chi's VA was pretty good there.
I loved that scene in the Westwood/Ocean dub. Everything about it was perfect, including the music.
Ocean's Chichi voice, Laara Saadiq, is brilliant throughout. She puts effort into every scene & she can sound motherly. I was glad that Ocean got her back for their dub instead stead of Lisa Ann Baily (movies 1 and 2). Lisa is good but Laara brings much more to the role.
Your text does not reflect what he said, he genuinely sounded angry. I can't hear Nadolny type "waeaahs" at all.

Perhaps you can elaborate instead of turning up to throw insults.
penguintruth wrote:I'm not quite the devotee of Kelamis as RazorX
I wouldn't use that term. I prefer Ian Corlett. But one preference does not mean an automatic dislike to the others.

Ayres did a good job when Freeza is calm but yeah now we should get an idea of how he might handle the battle scenes. Not much though since Freeza dominates Nail.
