The problem with the UK/Canadian Ocean dub was that the performances of the actors were very inconsistant.VegettoEX wrote:They may have "better voice actors" (or rather, in most cases, the voice actors many people were first exposed to and therefore have a biased affection towards)...
... but from what I've heard/seen, they're directed like ASS. I know that Brian Drummond and Scott McNeil are leaps and bounds better than what I've heard in the later Ocean DBZ dubs.
And for the record, I thought Dameon Clarke was the shiznit.
For an example, someone who doesn't have ready access to the dub (i.e. anyone outside the UK or Canada), who sees three or four clips random clips might see in one clip where Drummond isn't sounding not too good, or in some cases pretty awful, and then in another, he's totally awesome, better than anything he did in season's one or two and rival his Japanses counterpart.
As for McNeil, I don't think it's so much the directing per se in this case, but more that he's using a different voice (which was probably the directors decsion or maybe's Mcneil's himself), he's using the voice he was using for Wolverine in X-Men Evolution, a more human voice, rather than one he used in Season's one and two, which had more of a growl to it. Although I loved the former, I didn't mind the latter,
Yeah Dameon Clark did do all the forms for Cell, while his first form wasn't bad, I hated his second and Perfect forms. Apart from his screams which sounded like his was gargling, Ocean's Perfect Cell was perfect IMO.PsyLiam wrote:Did he do all the forms of Cell for the FUNi dub? I've only heard his first form Cell, and I can't really remember it. I think the same guy does all of the OG Cell's forms, and he's quite good.
I do remember Clark in "The History of Trunks" though, and I thought he did a great job making his voice sound like Schemmel's Goku, while still different. I wonder if he'd have been a better Goku than Schemmel, come to that...
I do agree that Clark was excellent as Mirai Gohan, and I too also wonder if he would have done a better job than Schemmel as Goku, my gut feeling says he would have. Clark's Paragus in movie 8 was also very good.
