Holy Cow!God forbid a kid being actuallly voiced by a kid D: *dies*


But yeah I knew that since the german version was the first version I watched I really like Gohans german voice,his voice actor also does Koji in Digimon Frontier (He sounds a lot older there though)

Funfact: The guy interviewing them does Shen Longs voice XD

I dont know how to sub but I could translate and post here

I could translate this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuWV2xyE ... re=related right now as its short

Tommy ("Son Goku") : RAAAAAAAARGH

Narrator: The name "Tommy Morgenstern" is not well known,
but the voice of the Dragonball main character Son Goku is
known by millions of anime fans.This voice actor can handle
this action-packed anime series.

Tommy: You lie there,and you see this character ,really like in pieces,
and his hand shakes,and then you go crazy,and you really feel it.

Narrator:At the beginning "Dragonball Z" was a whole new challenge for the
german Voice actor-team ,because the dialouge in manga is really
exaggerated

Claudia Urbschat ("Bulma") : (Sorry I cant quite catch what she says there)

Claudia: Well,its kinda more crazy/lively than the tame,american way of
story-telling

David Nathan (Piccolo)&Sandro Blümel (Son Gohan) :NARRRGH

Claudia:Those comics...you can really live out/act out in them as a
voice actor.

Narrator:"Live out" isnt always what Tommy can do though,he has it rough.

Tommy: I´m dying all the time.Or I am hurt pretty bad.And sometimes I´m just gone allogehter

Narrator:When that happens the little Sandro Blümel as "Son Gohan"
will step into the spotlight.For the action-sequences he has
his own little tricks.

Sandro: Well,sometimes you have to,just punch yourself a little
so you can like do your job better.But usually its okay,
and you dont have to hurt yourself.

Narrator: Thank God.Though,of course,we dont want to go
without the action.

I take it this interview is older than 2 years and I wonder how old he is now? I can imagine his voice changed quite a bit so I doubt they'll be recasting him for DBK .

I didn't really keep up with the international Kai news, was a german release for it announced?

"I wish for someone to ask me better questions!"

Lots of Fun facts : the kid voiced by Gohan later gets a twin bro voiced by Trunks.The one with the googles plays kid Goten.And the fat kid in blue clothes is Krillin.The blond chick does Goku as a kid in the movies and flashbacks in Z,and the little kid with the hat does Videl in GT. also the mon with the pink scarf around his belly has Boo´s voice,he also later adopt a little mon with Kaioshin´s voice,and the brown mon with the big nose is Cell.Also the guy who does Shen Longs voice is the dad of the chick that does Chichi (yes the german version is full of ...weird...fun,seriously I could go on and on)

[Michsi]

Btw. I tried searching for the german VA for Piccolo from Evolution Did they also have David Nathan play him?

David Nathan who does Piccolo from DBZ also plays Spike (James Marsters) in the german dubbed version of Buffy.

Duly noted and much appreciated.

I did happen to have a talk with a German Dbz fan some months ago and he told me that you don't have to be an actor to voice a character .
( Well , no wonder why they do dub even live action movies ! )

And on top of that , he may voice even Vegeta if DragonBall Z Kai comes to Germany !
Strange people ...

Was that Timo or any of his fandub friends ?

[TheRed259]

@sangofe Don't know the guy . Nevertheless , the whole issue is strange ...

[Timo]

@sangofe: No, not to my knowledge. Besides, me and my colleagues don't make fandubs anymore.

That's not exatcly true. Most of the German voice actors are actors, straight from the theater, film or TV. However not all of them. Nowadays some voice actors are doing the job since they were kids. Learning by doing for years.
On a side note: the dubbing of live action movies and TV shows is tradition over here (same in France, Spain, Italy). The first German dubs are from before WWII and after that the allied occupying powers wanted a way to show their films to the general public. What's easier to show someone a film in their language? Dubbing is perfect for this and in Germany the dubs are on a very high quality level (at least for big and high budget movies in movie theaters, Anime is another topic).
Ah well, so much for my side note. Didn't want to unleash a discussion.

Sorry, this is nonsense.
First of all, I don't think that Kai will come to Germany. If it will be really broadcasted there will be a casting and no "guy from the street/simple fan" would made it to this.
