They kept her for OTHER DUBS. Yeah, FUNi dubbed other Anime besides Dragon Ball. Shocking, isn't it?

Also, Linda Young still voiced Pizza (One of Mr. Satan's students) in Kai.

I meant for Kai. She voiced Freeza's laugh for episode one (which made it into the final product), but was then replaced for later episodes. I'm saying that I don't think the people working on the dub's production intended to recast her from the beginning. No idea what you're implying either, I know she's in other anime.

EDIT: Nor do I think they looked for an excuse to replace her, because they probably would have just replaced her from the start if they wanted to.

Sorry, I mis-read your post. I think they gave her a chance with the laugh (since there was no other dialogue).

If anything, Nicktoons had more to do with Freeza being recast. Episodes had to be done by certain dates and they couldn't waste time rewriting the script.

And a good thing they didn't. Freeza's lines are incredible in Kai. Though Ayres helps with his delivery.

J Michael Tatum wrote Freeza's dialog with Ayres in mind.
