Not nearly enough. It's just a poorly-chosen approach to the character. It makes me long for David Kaye's flimsy Stallone impression.Kaboom wrote:Sabat noticeably scaled back the "herp-derp" factor for Recoome.

You know, I sort of get wanting certain voices. We can go back and forth all day long on that. But, is there any real justification why a goddamn character's name should be completely changed besides "It's what I grew up with!"?Kakarot88 wrote:stuff

Well, I found that Tiffany Vollmer simply isn't a very good actress. She made Bulma seem overly shrill and a little too "valley girl" for my tastes. She only brought out the worst of the character. Monica Rial is an excellent actress and brings a much-needed humanity to the role that Vollmer didn't. There's more a sense of warmth to her performance.Kakarot88 wrote:Haha I actually liked that Bulma more, I guess you did not. How come?penguintruth wrote:Y-you're kidding, right?

Nadolny's Gohan sounded like anything but an "actual boy" (to me, little boys and girls sound very similar, and it's not without reason). She sounded like she was pinching her throat or something to make that voice. Clinkenbeard isn't perfect (I think in terms of voice, Saffron Henderson's Gohan sounded most like a little boy, but Clinkenbeard is close), but her performance was so much better and well delivered.Kakarot88 wrote:I couldn't stand Colleen Clinkenbeard making Gohan sound so lame in the Cell Saga, at least when Stephanie Nadolny said "Daddy" every other word and Gohan was way too old to be saying that he still sounded like a dude and not a girl desperately trying to resemble the a boy...my word she was terrible completely ruins Kai! Every time I see Gohan I wanna turn the sound off...bleh! She is the sole reason I have yet to buy those DVDs.
The Z Kai voice was based upon the performance from Z, but slightly different.CaBrPi wrote:I could go for Chris Cason as Boo (fat Boo, at least).
Also, I thought Android 19's voice was fine. At least in Kai. I barely remember it from Z.
It's way different. In Z it was really high pitched and cartoony, but here it's at a relatively normal tone and is just a straight up, somewhat (and fittingly) monotone performance.songohan619 wrote:The Z Kai voice was based upon the performance from Z, but slightly different.CaBrPi wrote:I could go for Chris Cason as Boo (fat Boo, at least).

Hmm...even though I don't really have a problem with his Fat Boo, I would say that I preferred his work as Kid Boo, yeah. Then again, I actually enjoy Kid Boo quite a bit more than most people seem to, so there's that too I suppose.Super Sonic wrote:Speaking of Mr. Martin, would you say you prefer his Fat Buu or his Kid Buu voice?
A and B, I'd rather see the old FUNimation cast RE-DUB Dragon Ball Z Kai if my sense doesn't feel right.Gyt Kaliba wrote:And once again we come to original FUNi voices versus Kai voices...the struggle is eternal apparently.

As far as people coming back for the Boo arc goes, I think I already said it earlier, but the main people I'm really clamoring to have back are Kara Edwards as Goten and Videl, Laura Bailey as Trunks, and Duncan Brannan as Babidi. Everyone else that comes into this arc, I can more or less go either way with.
Colleen's performance is one of the reasons I actually watched Z Kai to begin with. I didn't like Stephanie whatsoever and Saffron was OK, but Colleen just fit the role perfectly to me. And I didn't really care that it sounded like Luffy.Metalwario64 wrote:Nadolny's Gohan sounded like anything but an "actual boy" (to me, little boys and girls sound very similar, and it's not without reason).

I find it highly suspicious that when Clinkenbeard was revealed as FUNi's Luffy, lots of people thought he sounded like Gohan. When Clinkenbeard was revealed as Gohan, lots of people say "this sounds nothing like Gohan! I want the old voice back! This new one sounds like a little girl! Her voice is so annoying!" Yet, I've never seen such comments directed to her performance as Luffy, which has a very similar voice to her Gohan during the Cell Games.
Not that I'm suggesting that you fit that mold or anything. It's simply an observation I've made.
