"From The Past Friday" - Prank Voices

[VegettoEX]

Hiya!

Gotta run, so here's a quick low-down on this situation. Back in 1999, FUNimation was re-casting the entire show and working on season three of DBZ. We did a little prank saying that Saffron Henderson (the previous voice of FUNimation's Gohan from Ocean Studios) would be returning to do the voice. This was, of course, completely false. A friend at the time (Matt / PyRo321) did a pretty good impression, so we had him throw together some voice clips and said they came from a pre-production tape of new dubbed episodes .

Chris Psaros (DBZ: Uncensored) was the first one to see through the lie, noting that some of the lines of dialogue didn't line up with where we said they were coming from.

1999 sure was a magical time. Oh yeah; Matt was indeed the one that did the voice of Gohan in that fandub Skitz did that year, too.

Apart from number four they were all pretty good impressions.

Ah back in the day when the DaizEX crew would eff around with the internet peeps... though I'm sure they still do so to some extent today.

That actually sounds more like Steph Nadolny than anything else XD;

That's what I thought too, then I saw his name...

Meh, I was mostly disappointed, actually. It's pretty obviously neither of the English Gohan VAs, and it's more obvious that it's older than Gohan sounded in the series... at any point prior to the Saiyaman episodes, especially the Freeza ark.
(And I'm totally not trying to be contrary to everyoe else when I say that I thought four was the best. )

[... yeah... IE doesn't want me to add that missing 'n' in the parenthetical. . Maybe I'll notepad it. )
