Your favorite voice for Goku?
Just what it says. My favorite is Nozawa. In my opinion, she's pretty much the only voice that fits Goku perfectly.

I like both Nozawa and Kai!Schemmel. Not a fan of the other English Goku's though.

Re: Your favorite voice for Goku?
It's a three way tie between Nesty Ramirez, Jeffery Watson, and Jeremiah Yurk. 

Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

I like Nozawa's performance best.

Re: Your favorite voice for Goku?
Speaking of Jeffrey Watson, I think he could be a good voice for a teenaged/adult Goten.
The world's greatest.
Re: Your favorite voice for Goku?
For me it's
Sean Schemmel>Ian Corlett>Masako Nozawa>Peter Kelamis>Kirby Morrow
Speaking of Jeffrey Watson I actually found him to be an interesting choice for Goku back in the Piccolo Jr saga of Blue Water DB. I can't remember the performance that well but he did sound age appropriate and didn't try to imitate any of the other English Goku's and just did his own thing with it. Certainly not my favourite but it was different I'll give him that.
Jeremiah Yurk was a poor impersonation of Morrow's Goku nuff said.

Re: Your favorite voice for Goku?
I'm going to go with the obvious answer and say Nozawa. But if one were to ask me who my favorite voice actor in Dragon Ball is I would say Ryō Horikawa as Vegeta.

Re: Your favorite voice for Goku?
Nozawa and Schemmel (nowadays) about the same.

As long as it doesn't sound like a women with a crack in her voice, don't care.

Re: Your favorite voice for Goku?
Obviously the Beast From The East, but I think Kelamis of all the English Gokus captured him the best, and it's a shame he didn't get to do more (good) work like the movies.

Peter Kelamis was Goku when I first started watching Z and it's still the one I'm most fond of.

Nozawa. I don't think she's the absolute perfect voice for Goku like many seem to believe, but her acting is head and shoulders above any English voice for the character.

The Big Green dude.
But seriously, Masako Nozawa mops the floor with all the other Goku VAs. That said, Sean Schemmel has come a long way and does a good Goku in the FUNimation dubs of Kai and the games.

Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

Re: Your favorite voice for Goku?
Nozawa is definitely my favorite, but Kelamis gets an honorable mention for being the only English voice actor to attempt to emulate Nozawa. He pulled it off quite well.
