Kara Edwards?

Maphisto86 · Post by **Maphisto86** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 12:56 am

I think Kara Edwards does a great rendition of both Videl and Goten in the Funimation dubs. However I noticed in Super Dragonball Z that she is missing from the cast as Videl and another voice actress subbed for her. Is she in the dub release for Movie 13 ? I also wonder if she is cast in the Sparking Neo! (Budokai Tenkaichi 2) North American release?

I hope so...

It wasn't her? I didn't actually pay attention to the credits, but I didn't notice any change in her voice over the series. I thought maybe her voice had become a little deeper, but all the voice actors tend to do that once they've been with a role so long...*shutters thinking about Chris Sabat as GT Vegeta*

Considering Kyle Hebert told me way back in February 2005 their movie 13 dub was already done, I think it's safe to assume Miss. Edwards is in the part as Videl/Great Saiyaman Mark 2/Goten/Gotenks (though I don't know that for a 100% fact, as I haven't seen the movie's end credits). Why she was replaced in Super DBZ, perhaps Atari and Okatron 5000 were rushing the dubbing of the game and couldn't get her in time? The dub VAs did sound a bit too 16-bit for my tastes. You'll also also notice in Super DBZ, some guy named Dartanian Nickleback replaced Dameon Clarke for Cell , which is ironic since Chris Sabat replaced Clarke in Budokai Tenkaichi/Sparking!. For two different people, Sabat and Nickleback can really get a good range when imitating Clarke's Perfect Cell.

Wiki says Videl was Brina Palencia in Super DBZ.

Has someone a sample of Dartanian Nickleback's and/or Chris Sabat's Cell?

The Character Info in Tenkaichi says Cell is voiced by Dameon Clarke. I haven't checked the credits in Super DBZ for Cell though I couldn't tell the difference if it wasen't Dameon.

And yes Briana Palencia is Videl in that game.

I know that someone else played Videl in GT, they could have gotten the GT actress,

Concerning Kara Edwards: No, it didn't change through the series . . . well, not dramatically. You might notice a difference between the Saiyaman episodes and everything that came after that; she actually started out sounding a little deeper than where she ended up.

And then of course, there's Movie 10. That's where her Goten voice really changed. (I remember being worried that it wasn't Kara until I heard Videl's voice had changed too.) Since I'm betting movies 10-13 were dubbed after DBZ ended, that's probably why Kara's new voiceover style never filtered into the series.

I don't know what her status is in Super DBZ, though one would assume that Timo's link concerning Brina Palencia is accurate. Depending on when they did the actual dubbing for the game, it could be that the schedule conflicted with her wedding this past April. She has a certain affection for Goten, or so she has said, so I can't imagine another reason other than not being able to that she would decide to pass it up.

Then again, Goten isn't even a character in Super DBZ. So who knows what happened? Maybe Videl wasn't enough for her to make a flight to the recording studio? . . . okay, I'm scared now. So I'll have to send her a line asking if she's done any voicework for Tenkaichi 2, which I will be buying.

Concerning Christopher Sabat: Yeah, hey; remember the second dub episode? Y'know, where Vegeta's dragging Goten and Trunks down the hallway? It was as though Mr. Sabat were actually trying to put those ten extra years that had passed straight into his voice. He sure dropped that in a hurry after the Baby saga.

(Deus, where the hell are you getting those avatars of yours? Do you make them or something?)

Lucy Small. Yeah, they could have, but her Videl sounds a little older than the in-game Buu saga Videl anyway. So eh . . .

Heh, I contributed that part to Wiki. I can't burn a sample of Nickleback, maybe you can find one on a GameStop vid?

Ending credits said Sabat did the voice. Considering the Character profiles had quite a few inaccuracies (including saying Sean Schemmel voices
Kid Goku), I'd take the ending credit sequence over the profiles.

(I'd like to know that too, got me wondering if it's as crazy as the last avatar source,, maybe PM Lemmy and I the link? >_>;; )

Yeah true.... so Dameon Clarke really didn't voice Cell in Tenkaichi? Wow... Like I said I didn't notice. I also didn't know Kara got married last year... that could explain why Briana Palacena subbed for her. I do hope though that all the original Funi cast are in Tenkaichi 2 (Sparking Neo! ....whatever...

). Judging from an article I read about it's American release it seems that way.

If it was done over a year ago, why are they releasing it now?

I got curious and decided to check the playing manuals for my DragonBall games. Videl's voice is uncredited in Budokai 3 and Super DBZ, but Kara Edwards is credited in Tenkaichi atleast.

Now this is going to bug me forever until I check every instance of her voice as it comes out....

And why all the interest in my avatar Conan and Lemmy? What's so appealing about a picture of Pan crying over dropping her ice cream anways? Do you enjoy her suffering?

"Dartanian Nickleback." Wha? I don't think that's the person's name. If I'm wrong I'll look like an idiot, but I think his first name's all mixed up or something. O_O

Maphisto86 wrote:Yeah true.... so Dameon Clarke really didn't voice Cell in Tenkaichi?

Don't you mean "Super Dragon Ball Z?" I'm sorry in advance if I'm completely wrong. I'm very tired. (=_=)

I never played Sparking! with Dub voices so I don't know about that, but there's no way "What'shisface Canadianbandname" played Cell. It had to have been Dameon. It was him. I know it.

Maybe they just pulled a prank and messed with his names in the credits or whatever.

Eh. These are the same people who keep listing Kyle Hebert as Kyle HERbert (Super DBZ and Shin Budokai end credits . . . watch it happen in Tenkaichi 2 also), so who knows what was what with regards to Cell. If there are pranks like that floating around out there, we at least know Kyle's getting sick of the one they play on him.

veshira · Post by **veshira** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 10:06 pm

Gah. I think I remember it being "Daniel Nickleback" from the game. I tried to get to the end right now, but I'm just out of it right now. Sorry, if someone could play a quick Arcade Mode in Super DBZ to verify... that be great, cause apparently I suck too much at the game to get to the credits.

Tis a sad evening.

Maphisto86 · Post by **Maphisto86** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 10:32 pm

Well I know for sure Kara did her roles in Budokai 2 &3 as well as Sparking! but not for Super DBZ. As for Cell having a different voice actor in Sparking! and Super DBZ I don't know. I'll check that out...

I'm absolutely positive Kara Edwards and Dameon Clarke voiced their respective roles in Super DBZ. The different names must've been some "stage name" thing, like Eric Johnson = Eric Vale.

I'm sure that's it. Stage names are commonly used among performers, in order to sound professional and sometimes for personal reasons.

I swear in my copy of Super DragonBall Z, which is the North American version, Videl is credited as "Brina Palencia" and Cell as "Dartanian Nickleback". I'd seriously take screen-caps of the ending credits just to prove my point, but unfortunately I'm unable to. It's very possible Okatron 5000 just hired very good sound-a-likes, I mean I doubt it'd be hard to find a decent female VA with a similar range to Kara Edwards. Also, notice Cell's cut-scene speaking after defeating him in "Original Mode"; the range kinda slips a bit, sounding a bit raspier than normal, and a tad more ... campy than normal, IMO.

And here I thought it was a fan drawn image of 23rd Budokai Chichi in her Super DBZ alt suit.

For the record, I don't like to see any good character in DragonBall suffer, well ... maybe Gill. That little pest dies almost as much as Kuririn.

Maybe Dameon Clarke did voice Cell in Budokai Tenkaichi and it was a crediting mistake, but I have my suspicions about Super DBZ. Like I said, the game's dubbing was rushed.

I don't feel I deserved that comment. I was saying (obviously) that Cell's voice is not only a difficult one to do, but was so dead on in Super DBZ that I don't feel there is any way someone else could pull it off, and if I hadn't lent out my copy of the game, I would find some way to prove it. However, I'm not saying there's no chance I'm wrong.

But with Videl, I could tell it wasn't Ms. Edwards from the start, although I ended up preferring the stand-in's performance. Go figure.
