Colleen Clinkenbeard - Kuririn and Yajirobe.

I'd love to see what she'd do for them.

The only thing I dislike about Vale's Trunks is that rasp. The voice sounds good, and the delivery had improved in Kai, but he still sounds too scratchy.

Schemmel's Kaiou sounds like absolute crap though. I've heard some suggestions for the narrator, Doc Morgan, to take on Kaiou, which would be nice and, as a bonus, match the Japanese version.

Hearing Greg Ayres as Gurd, I think he'd suit Kuririn (even both child and adult) and Yajirobe better.

Yeah, the actual voice is fine. But as you say, the forced rasp is really bad and ruins it for me.

Yeah, maybe Kai was his chance and he blew it. So perhaps he could be replaced with Jason Liebrecht?

Honestly, from I remember, I don't even really like his delivery. He often sounds angry and annoyed when he's clearly not supposed to. I remember one scene, were Trunks was just hanging around, and someone said something along the lines of "Hey, Trunks?", and he responded with "Yeah, what?", but it sounded like he was very annoyed and as though he couldn't be bothered to answer any questions. Definitely out of character for Trunks.

Ehhh...I don't hear it (my only real problem is the rasp), but each to their own.

I think the current cast for DB is perfectly fine so hypothetically if I did have the power to recast I wouldn't use it but I will try to think up some ideas.

Ginyu. I think Dameon Clarke using his Relento voice would be interesting.

Vegeta. Not sure but I've always had the idea of Johnny Young Bosh voicing Vegeta. After hearing his performance in this I'm sure he could make Vegeta sound really smug and arrogant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLfbkVos0SQ

Kami. Since some of us are picking parody VA's I just want to say that I think WeeklyTubeShow (known on this forum as Remix) would make a pretty good Kami. My 2nd choice for Kami would be Paul Eiding.

Tullece. Simply out of curiosity I would like to see how Ian Corlett, Peter Kelmis or Sean Schemmel would voice Tullece.
