Anyone like Brian Drummond (Ocean) as Vegeta?

Chris Sabat made Vegeta sound more badass but his voice sounded too low and gruffy.

Sure Vegeta was meant to be a stuck up prick, but not bad ass like Wolverine "touch my cigar and I'll kill you" bad ass.

My thoughts:

Brian Drummond: Great for a younger Vegeta, has that "psychotic wild" side to his performance. His arrogant side was also well-depicted.

Chris Sabat: I can't imagine anyone else for a older Vegeta, as Vegeta's body and physique changed throughout DBZ, Sabat's voice seemed to follow suit and actually sounded like he wasa aging. He definitely got the arrogant side downpat, just like Drummond. And he could pull off geniune sentimental scenes (like with him sacrificing himself to kill Boo) better than Drummond, who seemed only able to do the "angry/arrogant/psycho" voice that he did in Seasons 1 & 2.

I like them both.

I always loved Brian Drummonds tone of voice for Vegeta, he was a perfect choice for him.

Remember the Ocean dub was made for kids' TV, and more cut than the Funimation dub which is why when compared to the uncut FUNi dub it seems more penalised.

Brian was good but, I have to say Chris Sabat was a little better he made Vegeta sound a little more gruff and arrogant, like Vegeta is described.

For some more of Brian's Vegeta, check this clip I found:

He's particularily good in this scene, and includes 'Season 1 and 2' clips with their original voices. Interesting.

I have to agree with the assessment that he wasn't as good as old Vegeta. But man he could do a good raving psycho. I will always love the scene with him charging Gohan and Krillian screaming.

I didn't really care for Christopher Sabat as Vegeta or Piccolo in the redub. He was great in Dragonball as Demon King Piccolo and then Junior. But in the redub he could not pull off the evil guy doing good Piccolo. He acted as if he had been a good guy all along.

DEFINITELY Brian Drummmond, he sounded much more like the stuck up prince we all know IMO

I listened to Durmmond during the Majin Vegeta/Goku fight and he sounded like some lizard/human hybird. Sabat on the other hand makes Vegeta sound like a constipated smoker. So basically I don't like either of them for Vegeta.

But if I had to pick the lesser of two evils, I'd go with Sabat.

He had a great voice, and I could have tolerated him throughout the entire series.I don't think that Sabat is bad, just the Japanese voice actors are much, much better.

I actually just watch Gundam Wing again - never knew that Drummond did Zecks. I wasn't even really watching, and then I heard Vegeta's voice, and became confussed.

I always assumed that Vegeta hit poor Gohan in the...huevos to put it mildly. I always wince when I see that part due to the past inferrence. I guess I was wrong. If I wasn't then that would explain the lack of a girlfriend for our older buddy Gohan the Confused Teenager!

I loved that part, and the peaceful carm music aswell... I remember that track was only used 2 times.

I was talking to a female friend on the phone the other day..we both grew up with Drummond's Vegeta during season 1, and I was grunting and going "Heeee...HEEEE..HEEEE" in his voice to her... that was a major giggle getter right there.

I'm popular with the fangirls. XD I might even get laid. Thank you, Brian Drummond! (Tracey, if you ever read this, I wantya to know that yes, I do wanna get into your pants, but I value our friendship very much.)

IMO, no VA is a better Vegeta than Drummond!
