Old Voice Cast vs. New Voice Cast
 

In your opinion which is better, the voice cast from the old cartoon or the voice cast from the new cartoon?

Re: Old Voice Cast vs. New Voice Cast
 

...really. Nothing better....

does it matter which cast is better?

Hard to say since the characters only share name and mask color. Old voices were good for those characters[altough they didn't sound as good over time, especially Leo's voice changed] and new voices are good for these characters[took few eps for everyone to perfect the voices].

I agree with Karpo. If you listen to Raph's voice in episode 1, he gets WAY too deep. Mikey's isn't completely up to par either. But now, they are completely in the zone and I love it. As for which cast is better...I'll put it like this. I wouldn't trade any of the new actors for the old ones, or any of the old ones for the new ones. The combination of the 4 worked/work well together. But, I will add that if a live movie is done, the new voices won't work in my opinion. They're cartoon voices. Especially Mikey's (which, though, is my favorite in the new cartoon). If you examine Robbie Rist's Mikey in the first movie (and even in the 2nd and 3rd to an extent), it sounds completely 'natural' and not so cartooney. That's what they'll need to shoot for again.

Of course. Cartoon have diffrent type of voices than Live action. It just wouldn't work.

I dunno bout anyone else but april's voice is remarkably like the old one. :evilgrin:
But for shredder there can be no better voice for him then that of the original show, Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince of Bell Air. One other thing you may or may not know, the original voice of splinter is/was also the voice of Elmo of Sesame Street. :sick:

DR. Phil? j/king lol :lol:

Yes, splinter from the movie is the same VA as elmo. What you may not know is the man who does it, (first name kevin...forget last name) is a seven foot (about) black man.

I can picture that for splinter.....NOT elmo!!! lol

i will always love mikey's voice in the old cartoon

Kevin Clash. :D

I always loved their voices from the original show more because they seemed to have some good personality, and the funniest witty remarks.

i like the new show's cast alittle bit better it fits the characters better

raph's voice was too high-pitched for me

and the new splinter also does pegasus from *shiver* yu-gi-oh

and the old cartoons shredder was perfect for the old show! it was menacing but it had that saturday morning mad scientist quality to it

the new shredder has the suave but evil type voice that you can see being used by a regular buisness man

but thats my outlook and im a idiot! stryker signing off! BAMF! *disppears*

They are both good. They fit each cartoon well. So I would say they are even.

Yea I know about Kevin Clash, I actualy met him once!!!!! woot! But I have respect for him because look at all the wonderful things he has can do with his voice!

Not only that but Mikey's voice is also that of Joey wheeler from Yu Gi oh, and Lance from pokemon
Casey Jones did just about every male on Daria
April O'neil had been ALL OVER THE PLACE, Fighting Foodons - Clawdia,
Kirby - Fololo and Falala, Ultimate Muscle - Kid Muscle's Mom, the girl on cubix, Pokemon - Ash Ketchum and his mom and she even played a young battler in Yu GHi Oh, whom if I remeber corectly was named Paradice.
Raph is also the voice of terri Kanyon from Ultimat muscel
Splinter in addiction to Yu Gi Oh is also Minch from Ultimate muscel

Crazy

the dude who plays raph also plays good ol' terry canyon?! huzzah!! he's my fav wrestler in ultimate muscle!!

all we need is billy west to do a voice on TMNT and im set for life!! wohoo!

I'm pretty sure that the guy playing Casey also does Kid Muscle's voice.

I aggree terry is the greatist wrestler in the show!

I have only one thing to say:

"Tetsuoooooooooooo!"

Why ask? The old show's voice cast was professionally done, and actually fit the characters. The new show, it seems they picked up guys off the street for it. :lol:

I think terry kenyin is the worst. i cant stand to watch him or hear him talk. I like dick dick van dick though and kevin mask. But about the voices i think the new ones are way beter. i cant stand the old voices. their trash in my opinion . well i liked shredders and krangs . krangs was my favorite, but the turtles voices wherent good at all . the one i liked the least was raphael.

I liked the old cast better, but it wouldn't work for the current show. I agree that it took time to get used to the voices (except Mikey's, which sounded pretty much like he did in the old cartoon/movies). But I remember when I first heard Raph's voice for the current toon I was like :o whoa, that doesn't sound very good, but now I like it :tthumbsu:

Hmm it's hard for me to chose I like this cast just cause they seem to work better with the characters, the more serious voices cept for Mikey of course lol. And the old cast worked good with the old show just because it wasn't as serious as the new show is

I like all the voices in the new show. The only one I don't like to much is Casey Jones. http://www.ninjaturtles.com/sounds/casey.mp3 But I gotta admit the voice actor is getting better at the role.

This Post should really be a POLL...

I like the old Voice Cast better.
Mainly because of Rob Paulson (Raphael)
and Cam Clarke (Leonardo)

I, personally am a Cam Clarke fan... Since, he is alson He-Man AND Liquid Snake from Metal Gear.

The NEW cartoon is really just copying the movies.

beter than copying the old cartoon. those voices where trash in my opinion

How dare you insult Cam Clarke like that!?!
Well, he was doing great untill he started the whining...
Havn't you read the rules?
You aren't allowed to bash the Old Cartoon in anyway... I'm sure that includes voices.

BTW... I didn't say it was copying the movies as a DIS, dude... I said it as a fact... you don't have to be a Jack@$$ about it.

Well, it does have a lot in common with the FIRST movie, not so much the second and third, BUT the first movie was heavily based on the Mirage book, and since the new cartoon has shown things like Baxter, the Mousers, April as a lab assistant -things that weren't in the movie- I think it's more fair to compare the new show to the Mirage book than to any of the movies.

In regards to Tokka's comment...the actors on the new TMNT are actually non-union actors, so, in essence, they are just guys off the street. There was also a pilot done with union actors. How do I know? One of my closest friends voiced both Mikey and Don in it.

I like the Old donatello's voice. The new one seems just a little too girly and the voice actor seems just a little too unsure, even though he seems to be getting better and is slowly growing on me.

I can't help but twitch everytime Don says 'Mikey' though. It just bugs me on some deep unknown level ;)

Heh, the Nestle Quick rabbit...

But yeah, Cam Clark is an awesome voice actor. He's been one of my favorites ever since Akira (I HATED the new dub of that where he got replaced by Vash the Stampede).

All teh other voices for the old show were perfect, though Rob Paulson's Raph could get a little irritating.

The new voices are good and all but they seem sort of...generic. That's not a bad thing since it makes the characters seem more realistic and less cartoony with outrageous voices.

But I wonder how Raph has a Brooklyn accent but none of theother turtles do. I also wonder why they don't have Japanese accents liek Splinter since he's the one who raised them. Hmmmm...

No, im sorry . i didnt read the rules. i dont know if what i said was bashing anyways. i said it was my opinion. that means its not realy trash. i just think it is

The Brooklyn accent, I agree. But the japanese, well, I suspect it's just like asian kids in America who have parents with thick accents, but they speak perfectly good clear English.

Thats because they were REALLY raised by TV.... They only payed attention to Spinter as far as matial arts training... hehehe.. I'm j/k.

Alright, I just added poll.

im about to vote for the new show. and oh yea i did love the show back in the day. times have changed though. im all about the new show now

I thought the new cast did a better job. even the Shredder in the new one seems more dangerous than the old one.

The old Shredder was a joke! Even his voice sounded like he was talking in a voice box! (I'm not bashing the old cartoon here I'm just stateing the facts)

Old school for life.
