Chuck Huber--Freeza?

Post by DOOODGE » Thu Aug 06, 2009 6:39 pm

Who thinks Chuck Huber (Artificial Human/Android No. 17) would make a good Freeza? I think he sounds a lot like Ryusei Nakao, and he's very good with "evil, quiet psycho" roles. Thoughts?

Chuck Huber is awesome. He surely would have done good job. I doubt many people would complain if he did it instead of Linda Young.

I would. That just is Freeza's voice for me. Anything else sounds wrong.

Chuck Huber is one of my favorite VA's for FUNi. I could kind of see him doing a Freeza voice. Maybe we'll se it during Kai, eh?

Plus, if you watch the commentary on the Dead Zone steelbook, he is absolutely hilarious.

Y'know... I could actually picture him making a very suitable Frieza. But yeah, Linda Young is still suitable because of me hearing her voice as Frieza for the past 10 years. 8)

Chuck Is Good For Jinzōningen #17, But I Don't See Him As Freeza, At All. Linda Young Has Done A Good Job For Freeza Over the Years/ I Can't See Anyone Else Portraying Him, Other Than Nakao.

Chuck doesn't have much variation from character to character. No offense to the guy, he's a great actor, but you can always tell it is him. If he did Freeza than he wouldn't be able to do Android 17. I dunno, I always though his casting as Android 17 was perfect. I don't really know who I'd pick to be Freeza, but it wouldn't be Chuck Huber.

17 was one of the few dub voices that I really enjoyed, yeah the script was bad and the delivery was pretty lacking (in the beginning) but I feel they at least went the right direction.

As for him voicing Freeza, anything is better than Linda Young, the character voice is just flat out awful and the delivery would be comical if it wasn't so painful to endure.

Years ago, I thought the exact same thing. I thought that his portrayal of Gohan's tutor from episode 118, if deepened a bit and altered slightly, would make a good Freeza voice.

I think he would make a better Freeza than Linda Young, that's for certain. Chuck Huber, along with Brian Drummond and Dameon Clark, is one of the best English DBZ VAs around. I think his portrayal of No. 17 was exceptional and his best role within the series.

While Mr. Huber would make a pretty good Freeza. I always wanted to see Andrew Chandler do it, since he did Coola, in my opinion that'd be a nice little nod to the Japanese version. I always thought he did a nice job as Coola.

I think that if be based his performance on Ryuusei Nakao he'd make a terrific Freeza!

Chuck Huber might be a good choise... But I think Freeza might need a "Noble-esque" sound, like a British accent... like his father...

But...

I think the best voice for Freeza...

would be the voice of this guy

That's right. I say Frank Welker IS the best voice for Freeza. EVER!!

Because that's what you're used to. I think we're talking about if he did it from the beginning.
I wasn't sure at first, but when you think about it.. yeah, Chuck could've actually done a really nice job with Freeza.
I just don't know what they hell they were doing with Young, seriously. That voice is just like a drill in my ear.
It's always funny to see her try and upstage Schemmel in Burst Limit.

Holy shit, Megatron!!!

He has a wide variety of voices, Welker might be able to pull something cool out of his hat for Freeza.
