I like them. Mikeys really good, Shredder, Leo too. but Raph sounds like Casey and Don sounds like Mikey from the movies. I don't like Splinter or Baxter very much. But i'm sure the new Baxter will fit his new characher though.

All of them sound great, except mikey kina sounds like the crockadile hunter dude.

I'll listen to them and post my thoughts when I have a chance, which, unfortunately, isn't now. I can hardly wait to get home to listen (I'm on a computer at school right now)

01-17-2003, 01:51 PM
Oh...My...God...i want Peter Renaday back :cry:
This guy sounds like SIR RATALOT FROM CAMELOTIA, NOT MASTER SPLINTER!
He's supposed to sound old and wise...meh, i don't like his voice.

kevin nash is a wwf wrestler!! he played super shredder in the suit cause he is 7ft tall, he didn't play splinter

hahaha...OMG yes!
I confused him with kevin CLash...ugh...so many kevins...and that guy did the voice only in the movie anyways, i edited that post like 3 times.
Now i'm gonna check april's voice, i hope he doesn't sounds like ash :P

Ok... All the actors are good. Only one that needs a little adjusting is splinter, But everyone else sounds just great.

Ewwww... what the heck were they thinking using that plain voice for Leo... I'm so dissapointed. Leo's supossed to sound deep, strong, and sexy! (Like he did in the very first few eps of the original toon before they made his voice whiny). Argg...
PWDESAI
01-17-2003, 02:33 PM
LEO IS SO HORRIBLE SHREDDER SUCKS I HATE THIS NEW TOON :x
of course i'll get used to it after 3 eps and start saying how i love it, but still why does leo have ot sound stupid, cam clarke is the true leo... :cry:
Karpo_007
01-17-2003, 02:36 PM
Well the old VA's were good for the old characters, but these are totally diffrent. And they suit their characters just fine.
Nickokapo
01-17-2003, 03:03 PM
Just heard april's voice...not as bad as i thought, it almost even sounds like the old april...almost but not quite :p
I'm gonna wait to see the new toon to check all the voices instead of hearing the clips, since the main 2 characters i was concerned about was april and splinter...ugh...how could they do that to splinter's voice :sweatdro:
PWDESAI
01-17-2003, 03:09 PM
no no karpo it sucks and you know it. Don't go into denial.
I think they coulda done a better job but give it time to grow on you. When i get my mic working i'm gonna do parodies of all the voices.
Karpo_007
01-17-2003, 03:13 PM
NO You are The PWDENIAL. You are denying that I like the New voices... :lol: The are nothing wrong with those, Only splinter will need some time to get used to.

01-17-2003, 03:18 PM
Now I am complete. Not only am I happy with the voices, but I like what the characters are saying. It just feels like the toon will have a good mood.
Karpo_007
01-17-2003, 03:20 PM
True. From the little I heard, The dialogoue seemed very good. Atleast compared to the old show.
Whoa! o.O Okay, so I only managed to get the Turtles, April, and Splinter before the system got bogged and slow so I decided to wait until later to get the others.
Yeah, they're all going to take a bit of getting used to but I think they work well for the characters.
Karpo_007
01-17-2003, 03:50 PM
They are actually better than I expected.
Nturtle
01-17-2003, 04:21 PM
Heres my 2 mangos...
Don- Good, nerdy but not too much, kind of like in the old cartoon
Mikey- Perfect!! He fits the bill and he still has a Californian accent!!!
Leo- I dunno... like Movie leo, a bit melodramatic though
Raph-Uhhh... back with the thick New York accent I can see... well I guess it sort of fits him...
Splinter-Yuk... I don'tt like Splinter's voice!! He doesn't even have much of a Japanesse accent!! He doesn't sound that old and wise like as before either :(
April- She was okay, she sounded kind of phony but hey... its a cartoon :P
Casey- Whoa!! Chill guy!!! he sounds preety angry and crazy, which is good but like April hes a bit too phony
Shredder- Awesome!!! I like his voice, very cruel, deep and evil, though his voice kind of cracks at the last "failure"
Hun- Well I didn't know what to expect, but it was okay...
Baxter- He sounded like some great orator :P
Shellfox
01-17-2003, 04:38 PM
TMNT- all but Raph are perfect in my book
Splinter- sounds a bit like the movie version
April- OK
Casey- love it, sounds like his eyes are about to bug out of his head
Shredder- So so
Hun-should have been shredder
Baxter- Ok voice, but if thats how he talks all the time, I'm going to go nuts, its a bit long winded, how when hes transformed he loses the abillity to talk
PanMan
01-17-2003, 05:29 PM
i think they were all ok.
the ones i liked most were hun's, mike's and raph's.
Karpo_007
01-17-2003, 05:42 PM
The voices could have been a lot worse. I am reliefed.
Stone Ill
01-17-2003, 05:47 PM
You guys are too picky. Splinter sounded cool..Who ever said Rats were Japanese?
Nickokapo
01-17-2003, 05:49 PM
:roll: This one rat is japanese...he doesnt have to sound japanese but gosh...
Maybe i'm too used to the movie/toon splinter's voice...but splinter is a way too important character for me, so now i hate his new voice :goofygri:
Karpo_007
01-17-2003, 05:49 PM
Splinter is the only voice I tought wan't perfect for the job, But I can get used to it.

I meant had Japanese accents..
Nickokapo
01-17-2003, 05:53 PM
Oh...i never noticed splinter having a japanese accent anyways, but that's not the problem, he sounds...weird :ohwell: i guess i'll get used to it but it's annoying.
Leo's voice sounds too....plain and unremarkable, but still works fine.
Raph and Casey should trade voices.
Splinter sounds perfect, just really different from past versions.
Baxter sounds like a kook, a very annoying one, which is perfect.
The rest are all A+.

Oh gee, i think i am going to hate this new toon...they all sound too Disney-ish for a darker cartoon, (april especially), and Michelangelo sounds like an Aussi, leo sucks, (I miss the whiny voice...), Raph, wierd, Don, wierd, splinter is ok, shredder sucks, baxter sucks, the only voice I can truthfully say i liked was Hun's.
Stone Ill
01-17-2003, 06:53 PM
Once again, too picky.

01-17-2003, 07:08 PM
Indeed! To me, the voices are EXCELLENT!

mikey voice sound like the voice from that cgi clip
Ninja Tiptup
01-17-2003, 07:29 PM
I had high hopes for the series and I suppose the voice could have been worse, but all you guys who like 'em are gonna hate this because I'm gonna rip 'em up...
Leo - pretty plain, not as mysterious or leader like as I would have prefered, but he's okay (Cam will always be the best Leo)
Don - it was okay, nerdy enough, but he's not Corey Feldman
Raph - this one was terrible I agree the it might be better if Casey and Raph switched voices (the sarcasmatic Raph is lost for good... darn)
Mike - this one blows... Mike is my favorite turtle, but this just isn't working for me. Couldn't they have gotten Coleman back for Mike? He's wasting his voice on Buzz Lightyear.
Splinter - like everyone else said, this one needs some getting use to
April - sound exactly like Delia Ketchem from Pokemon (make sense... same VA afterall) it'll take time to get use to, but it's okay
Casey - not working for me at all, not mysterious and/or cocky enough
Hun - PERFECT! Sounds a bit like Toru and I love it!
Shredder - it's okay, but it's a bit awkward
Baxter Stockman - rather narative like... it doesn't sound right for the new Baxter (someone at ToonZone thought he sounded like the narrator on the old 60's Batman show, and I agree...)
Most don't please me, but I love Hun's and can stand Don, Leo, April, and Shredder. I can only hope Mike and Raph's VA's get better over time.

01-17-2003, 08:32 PM
No, I don't hate it, because I disagree. :)
Mr. Snackpants
01-17-2003, 09:18 PM
All the voices were ok, but i wish splinters was different. I like dons the best, it real good. Huns voice is cool too. You guys don't like any of them because your used to the old voices(me too, I like the old better). But I think theyll be ok.
Eye of Sarnath
01-17-2003, 09:23 PM
Well, I've finally have had a chance to listen to the voices and...
And give them my official seal of approval. Yeah, they're good. Though I don't know why a lot of you don't like Splinter, I actually think he's one of the best.
Ninja Tiptup
01-17-2003, 11:49 PM
Nope don't like 'em, but they'll probably grow on me eventually. They'll be better when you see the characters actually talking, moving, etc. I think...
Karpo_007
01-18-2003, 05:48 AM
This is just what I speculated few weeks back. Most people miss either the voices of the Old toon or movies, and doesn't even want to givea chance to these voices. I the decided that even if I didn't like th new voices, I wouldn't compain, but learn to like them. But now it seems that it isn't neccessary, I like the new voices already.
Karpo_007

But Frasier is a good show.. :lol:
Raphael-sama
01-18-2003, 10:30 AM
Aagh! I didn't see this thread! Bah.
Don-Sounds like a higher pitched version of Donny from the second movie. This is fine, cause I always preferred that Donny to the Corey Feldman one.
Leo-Simple, casual, it fits. Maybe I'm not the best judge: I never liked Leo to begin with.
Mikey-Already heard him on the Fox Box this morn. He sounds like a slightly older version of the original cartoon Mike. Very fitting, as always.
Raph-WEE! Sounds perfect, more akin to his film voice than the "Mighty Max" original. Indeed, all four turtles sound quite a bit like their movie counterparts... intentional?
Splinter-He sounds almost EXACTLY like the movie Splint. I guess they're trying to mimick that voice style because it's the closest we've gotten to a Mirage adaption previously? *shrug*
April-Well.. she doesn't sound like Ash, at any rate. Otherwise, yeah, it needs work. Perhaps further experience will give me a better idea.
Casey-Is that.... Kid Muscle? If so, he's doing a better job here than he is on Ultimate Muscle at any rate.
Shredder-Oooh yeah. Sounds almost like Megatron from Beast Wars. I think Karpo and all can finally stop worrying-we finally have a Shred that will meet the honour of the original Mirage one (who I really don't see all the jazz about, honestly)
Hun-Hmm. He sounds intelligent. I feared that he'd follow the "Bigger they are, dumber they are" theory that every cartoon in existance follows, but this seems to not be the case.
Baxter-*sigh* I'm going to miss the "buzz" in this guy's voice. Still, the voice fits the images we found, although it could use some work. I guess I'm too used to Mistah Fly (and you Mirage-happy people can NEVER take that away from me! BWAHAHAAHAHAHA!)
-Badabing.
Sparvid
01-18-2003, 11:24 AM
Don, Leo, Mike: All okay.
Raph: Dont' like the clip itself... Wouldn't mind another one to hear a little bit more of how he talks...
Splinter: Hmmm... Not great (I love him in the first movie, minus the whole sounding old and weak), but somewhat okay.
April: Good!
Casey: Go Casey! :) Not really what I would expect him to sound, but nothing really wrong with him.
Shredder: *drool* Honestly, I can't understand anyone who doesn't love this one ;)
Hun: Ooo, sounds big. A little like James Earl Jones... :D
Baxter: A little to formal. I want him madder I say! Maaaadder! :evilgrin:
Karpo_007
01-18-2003, 11:25 AM
Yeah, It seems that This new Shredder will Be Ok. But I think that the best Shredder on screen was the guy in the First Movie.
HorseTechie
01-18-2003, 02:06 PM
I'm not at all worried about who they picked, as I'm sure they wouldn't be that left-field in picking what suits each character. I think they all sound okay. The clips did sound as it they are the tryout clips, with too much emphasis than normal.
Don's voice threw me for a loop too. He didn't have a hint of geeky nasalness like he used to before. In fact, I thought he kinda sounded like Michael J Fox (when he was younger)! I no like that....
Raph's okay, maybe a bit too deep... but as I had wondered in the movie, why does his voice sound so much like a New Yorker's, but none of the others did? If they all had a hint of the accent, it would have made more sense. (Goes back to her theory that Raph listened to the people on the streets more, while the only Turtles heard the cleaner accents from those on
TV)
Leo, on the other hand, I love what his VA has done for him! It sounds perfect to my ears: not too whiney, and not too deep. *doesn't know what is wrong with everyone else here*
Mikey's sounds like Mikey too, especially after his stint on the Fake News. That really sounded like what we're used too. Like a cross of movie
with the cartoon verison.
The other characters sound suiting too. Even Shredder's sounds better
that the other in the intro clip. (I assume he was in his robot mode then)
I'm also excited to see the whole intro with theme song on the TV this morning too! Which was well worth having to endure the tackiness of Ultraman Tiga... :P
Nturtle
01-18-2003, 04:12 PM
The thing I'm worried about right now is Splinter...
everything we've seen of him indicates a preety lousy version of splinter with a bad voice and that looks kind of like a grey weasel!! And hes my all time favorite TMNT character :(
oh well.....
Karpo_007
01-18-2003, 04:14 PM
I think he is just fine.

*reads the thread and sighs*
BITCH BITCH BITCH. Some people need to get over things. There's a lot worse things going on in the world right now and a voice actor not sounding what you wanted to is pretty insignificant if you think about it. The recordings are done. Accept it and get over it for Christ's sake. I'm sick of hearing this negative crap all the time. Just enjoy what you have geez.
Oh gee, i think i am going to hate this new toon...they all sound too Disney-ish for a darker cartoon, (april especially), and Michelangelo sounds like an Aussi
Yeah right. I forgot there's ppl here with Phd's on Australian accents. *sigh* Maybe you've been listening to too many Americans *trying* to talk in an Aussie accent.
And for ppl complaining about the site being slow, I've noticed a lot of ppl here direct linking their av's from the offical site. Add 10 ppl viewing the same page on the official site and another 10 reading this forum, it'll slow things down a bit. So ask someone who can host it for you.
Amanda (who needs a freakin' soapbox?)
Karpo_007
01-18-2003, 07:07 PM
I guess i could host them.. And hey, most people have said they like the new voices. And I agree, there is no point in complaining them, you just need to learn to live with them. I personally think that all new voices sound good.
Nturtle
01-18-2003, 09:10 PM
Hey chill Amanda, yeah complaining isn't going to get anywhere. And problems with voice actors are way, way below all the crisises of the world on my list. But these are just people saying what they think, sometimes in a less coherient and angry way. I certainly doin't agree with a lot of them either, and I think we should wait for the show to come out before we judge it.
And yes, for all of you who are getting your avatars off the official site, that is illegal and you are jamming up the server, get Krang to host your avatars if you want.
Karpo_007
01-19-2003, 01:41 AM
When I first came here, I always siad to stop it as I saw it, But now so many people are doing that I don't bother anymore... Really, you shouldn't direct link your avatars from ninjaturtes.com .

Just listened to the voice overs. They aren't THAT bad. I agree, it's a change, but it'll have to do. Oh and is it just me or does Raphael kinda sound like Rocksteady? :lol:
Karpo_007
01-19-2003, 10:36 AM
No... Cam Clark did both Rocksteady and Leonardo in the old show, the new raph doesn't sound a bit like him...
Donatello02
01-19-2003, 10:51 AM
Well if you saw the old toon episode Teenager from Dimension X, and listen to Rocksteady, and then listen to Raph, they sound almost alike.
Tokka-B
01-19-2003, 12:21 PM
Amandatello....I do realize there are more things to complain about, and for better reasons too, but this is a TMNT chat...so if you don't want to hear people's opinions, don't bother checking out the thread.....Quite frankly, I was surprised you came here expecting no one to say something bad about this...
About the Michelangelo comment...I do not have anything against aussies really...except for maybe Steve Irwin (but that's besides the fact)....I said that because Michelangelo simply isn't an Australian, at least as far as I know...you may know somehting else :-? Anyway, I don't think you'd like his voice if they decided to make him have a Spanish accent or something. :wink:

This same thing happened when the new Transformers were out (RiD). 50% liked the voices, 50% did not. It's just the way it is. Everyone has the right to like or dislike. I personally think that these were just rest clips, and we should see some evolution in the voices as the episodes go on. So as tough as it is for me to get past the original cartoon voices, the new ones aren't that bad. The TMNT sound like teenagers. Shredder sounds evil and imposing, the Hun sounds like a guy I wouldn't like to meet in a dark alley, April sounds like an ambitious young woman, Splinter needs to sound just a litte older for he is wise, Casey sounds like an angst-driven young man, and Baxter sounds like your typical intelligent evil-doer.
