He was fine, but I liked his Z Vegeta performance much more because it was far smoother.

Standard stuff, but slightly better than McNeil was there, though he was also okay at best.

Was Scott McNeil really that good as Fat Majin Buu?

Rick Robertson's Dabura was fine, but his voice is amazing. I loved him as Yomi in Yu Yu Hakusho.

Goku is supposed to sound goofy?

you just smashed your own point, the performance is different even if the voice might be similar so someone can like one and not the other.
And if we go by your statement that means (insert actor here) cant be bought as Sonic if you can't imagine them on all the recolors flying around deviantart and google images.
It isn't over the top. The voice going up slightly isn't exaggeration. People do that in every day conversation all the time. Goku can sometimes be a goof, but he's not inherently goofy. And this moment isn't a goofy moment, it's straightforward.

I have no idea what you are talking about with the Sonic argument, and quit bringing up the deviantart thing, it's irrelevant.

Nah. He sounded too much like Meatwad. He sounded childish, yes, but it wasn't charming at all.

I thought more like Elmo, but I agree: I think Josh Martin was much better.

That's not saying much because Josh Martin is also obnoxious as Buu. He was great as Kid Buu, though. That's a great segway, was Josh Martin really that good as Fat Buu?

I thought he was fitting in the role, actually, but I get your point.

I think they were going for a voice that fit what they percieved Buu's personality to be, but I don't like it, and the acting isn't good either. It's been a while since I've watched the dub, so I don't recall what he sounds like when Buu gets upset, but when the Japanese actor starts showing Buu's dark side, it's damn creepy.

If your problem is exaggeration then what about Peter's serious moments where he doesnt do so?
That scene could be interpreted in any way for me
Let's take Ryan Drummond.
His voice is good on Sonic but his voice doesn't quite fit recolors the way it does the real Sonic
It could be the same for Goku and Tullece
A simple recolor shouldn't mean the voice needs to change but it just doesn't fit as well
COULD Nozawa have been good as both of them? sure.
WAS she? not to me.
I don't see how deviantart thing is irrelevant when it can expand my argument

Better than his Piccolo Jr., but just okay, IMO.

He fit the personality and status pretty well

In Z, not really, too forced and raspy.

In BoG, it was decent, though.

His King Piccolo sounded too forced, and his Piccolo Jr. was a tad mature for that design.
Was Laura Bailey really that good as Trunks?
Last year, I would've said HELL NO, but once she dropped the rasp and got some experience as the character, she's quite good. But holy crap are those first couple performances awful.

If your problem is exaggeration then what about Peter's serious moments where he doesnt do so?
He's a little better, but still nowhere near good. He sounds like he's trying to sound tough.

It really doesn't.

Was Sabat that bad as Kami?

I didn't mind him as Mr. Popo. I thought he was good, though I'm glad someone else is voicing him if only for the sake of having a larger cast.

He was awful as king Vegeta, the voice was way too gruff and the performance wasnt any good. its like hes trying to sound like a guy in a suit of armor and failing miserably at it.
