Technically he is.

I'm not a huge Funi fan at all but without a doubt this is a pretty bang up list. I'm pretty sure this would have been the best possible end game for the Kai dub. Kudos, you know your shit son.penguintruth wrote:If we're limited to only Funimation's voice pool?

I lol'd tbh. Brian Drummond? A lot of the TFS cast? I love TFS but as a poster before me said, they aren't meant to be taken seriously.

TFS's Goku is also closer and better to the original than FUNimation's.

It's one thing to like a different voice but it's the delivery which matters. It's what makes the role believable.dbboxkaifan wrote:Chris Ayres still made Freeza sound like a woman than a man and even ABG's or TFS's have better Freeza's than FUNimation's.FNF wrote:I lol'd tbh.

Re: If FUNimation were to re-cast for Kai Dub, who'd you pic
I'm sure some of the TFS cast are flexible enough to change up their performance (and voice, if possible) if they did have to do a serious dub. MasakoX did it a few times, though whether you liked it or not is completely up to you, but he has done it. Not saying that they'd all work on a serious dub, but I'm just throwing that out there.FNF wrote:I lol'd tbh. Brian Drummond? A lot of the TFS cast?

You guys give FUNimation's Kai dub so much credit it's ridiculous.

So far from what I've heard of LK's Frieza, I haven't heard much in the range of how he voices him.dbboxkaifan wrote:Ayres' did make Freeza believable, but so did LittleKuriboh too and better than Ayres' by actually sounding menacing, male and respectable (+ comical too).Gonstead wrote:It's one thing to like a different voice but it's the delivery which matters.

His voice always stays at a constant volume for all of his emotions unlike Ayres who shifts from subdued to out-right yelling when necessary.
That's actually the only problem I have with the TFS cast. They're good at the voices they do but the delivery in emotions is lacking in places.
In the end though, they're the ones doing a parody and not a serious dub which is why I don't mind these problems since they are intended to be comical, not serious.

There are a lot of roles that remain unchanged simply because I can't think of any better people voicing them.
Now if I was limited to choosing from Funimation's pool of VA's? That's a different story.

Re: If FUNimation were to re-cast for Kai Dub, who'd you pic
The only voices in the Kai dub I dislike are Trunks and King Kai. Especially Trunks is just awful. I don't know much about their VA's so I don't know who I'd replace them with, but just about anyone will do
