Vegeta's Voice Actor

Post by ssj-tom » Tue Jan 10, 2006 6:04 pm

Is it just me, or has vegeta's voice actor in the dub (christopher sabat) completely changed the voice since the captain ginyu saga.

He still sounded as unfitting as ever when I saw some Buu episode clips
Where's the beef?

I don't see a problem with his voice for Vegeta. It definitely fits his character but maybe not his look.

He tried to impersonate Brian Drummond at first, at least during his first episode or two. That's one reason.

I suppose listening to Brian Drummond's effort more has skewed my view a little.

Christopher Sabat was kind of developing it as he went, and didn't really find an exact...fit, or something, that he liked until the 5th Season started, I suppose.

He still seems to be trying to mimic Drummond a bit even at the Cell Game, but once that passes he kind of takes on that controlled, deeper, more refined voice and has held it since. It isn't suiting at all to the Japanese Counterpart, but at least it doesn't sound so fake.
