Maybe people couldn't stand anyone else voicing an older Gohan like how Goku kept the same voice. I still wonder if it was planned for Goku to keep the same voice as an adult.Puto wrote:That's the thing, though, she shouldn't have to keep track of so many distinct variations.

Adult Gohan sounds like Goku when fighting. Every time I hear Gohan scream, attack, or usually say something during battle, I think of Goku.B wrote:Have to be that guy and say Goku and Gohan, throughout the entire series, sound nothing alike. Yes, the actual sound of the voice is the same, but you could pick a random episode from the Buu arc that has Gohan in it and he's going to run a gambit of typical Gohan emotions: self-doubt, worry, timidity, etc., and you'll pick up on it quite easily, I think, through Nozawa's performance. Goku never sounds like that, at all, at any point.
I forget, who voiced the Elder in Z?

Agreed, that was when their two voices blended together the worst for me. The worst case of all was during the Trunks special, with Future Gohan, who pretty much was 'fight mode Goku' all of the time rather than Gohan.dbzfan7 wrote:Adult Gohan sounds like Goku when fighting.

Reizo Nomoto. And yeah, he's gone.Gyt Kaliba wrote:I forget, who voiced the Elder in Z? Have they since passed on?
I don't hate Nozawa as Adult Gohan, it's just the mood is sort of killed when I hear Goku as Gohan's voice in fight mode. It's one of the reasons I like Hebert more. I usually don't side with the english cast but I have made some exceptions to who I'd rather hear.Gyt Kaliba wrote:Agreed, that was when their two voices blended together the worst for me.

Well, they don't really have to find one person to play all of the Goku-related roles. It makes more sense to me that each character would, down the line, get cast to different actors (though the question becomes...would they still cast Goku as a woman? She still finds a way for Goku to work, but in an industry now dominated by high pitched glass shattering voices from female actors, I wonder if any of them would work >_>).Cold Skin wrote:As far as I'm concerned, I'm amazed at how she sounds different for Goku, Gohan and Goten!
When you hear high school Gohan, it's not the same voice than Goku's. When you hear little Goten, it's not the same voice than little Gohan's!
She has a way to transform her voice that makes it okay for me that she voices Goku, Gohan and Goten (oh, and Bardack too, yet unother different interpretation!).
Someday, she'll have to be replaced and it's going to be tough to find someone able to keep up with such a performance!

Even though it probably won't happen, yes, yes I would want him to return.

Shhh. It's okay. She's gone now. She can't hurt us anymore.

I really didn't like Brad Jackson's King Cold. It just felt wrong for the character. He's the "king" and he's gigantic (like seriously, look at the guy). I much prefer the deeper voice Jason Douglas gave the character. It gave him a much more commanding presence.ringworm128 wrote:Even though it probably won't happen, yes, yes I would want him to return.

That really is my biggest issue with her. Her voice always cracked when she got mad or excited, and her yelling and reactions were always shrill and phony sounding, and her voice was really whiny sounding when she attempted inflections. She was passable when the character was just talking with a normal tone, but that's really about it.DBZAOTA482 wrote:shrill
