Worst Voice-Acting Scenes in Dragonball

Post by Pikachuuu » Sat Apr 19, 2014 11:17 pm

What do you think was the most poorly voice-acted scene in Dragonball?
This seemed pretty bad to me.

Well, the script doesn't help, but... ahaha, wow.

This is an 80s/90s animated all-ages show that was popular amongst kids. It's not some potent super weapon that might fall into the wrong hands that we have to protect from evil.

Worst acted scenes? Probably anything with Mark Britten, "It's Vegeta, it can't... beeeeee...", or anything by Vollmer

While it's not great acting, Schemmel's acting in the scene where Goku buries Vegeta hardly qualifies as worst anything.

I don't have a clip, but one bit that always stuck out to me of the early in-house FUNi days is when Goku is hidden from Frieza's vision in a cloud of smoke, so Frieza starts firing blindly and Goku says, "Oh hey. He's missing. He can't. Sense that I'm. Here." (punctuated that way intentionally).
It's this strange blend of both being completely monotone and ridiculously overacted. Add the extremely awkward mid-sentence pauses and it was just a terrible delivery.

Also, yeah, pretty much anything from Big Green and a large amount of stuff from the Westwood dub.
