Change of voices
 

Here in the Drome are some more people, so I ask here, too:

I don't like it, if in series after a while the voices change.
In the german version of the old toon it is Don who gets an other announcer after a while. I find it changes the whole character. BAH!

What's your opinion?

Well... I've never had that happen to me...

But if the voice changes mid-show, I think that would be ridiculous. It would be like suddenly changing the actor in a live-action TV show.

There were episodes in the OT where the voice actor changed....like in Mutagen Monster where Barry Gordon (Bebop/Donatello) was replaced by the voice of Scotter from Muppet babies...Bebop was ok...but Donnie was freakin attrocius.

I dunno, but he did sound a whole lot like Leo.

Sadly I don't know the english version :ohwell:

Nope after Rob Paulsen left/quit, they got a new guy.

no way should they change the voices, they all suit the characters, could you imagine Raph with Don's voice or Mikey with Leo's? no changes! :lol:

oops sorry thought you guys were talking bout the 2003 one :tlol:

No need for double-posting, friend. That's what yon EDIT button is for. :)

Not about the 2003 one. It's general, Leo_rulez.
I didn't see the new toon yet. :ohwell:

No it wasnt Cam Clark who voiced Leo, it was a completly new guy.

I for one really don't like it when in a cartoon they change the voice actor of a character mid-way. Because each actor brings something unique to the character that they are playing that makes up what the character is.

The only time I ever like it when a character gets a new voice is when I really hated the voice of the previous one they had.

I thought for the most part that the classic TMNT was pretty good at keeping the orginal voices. At least for the main characters. I didn't even notice half the time when they had different voices for for some characters when i was younger. Like for Shredder or Splinter or Bebop. Which they did perodically sometimes.

I did notice how ever when they changed the voices around for the turtles. i don't know i was just really intuned to what they where saying and I hung on their every word so much that I couldn't help but notice.

I always knew when they had an alternate for Raphael because I thought the guy sounded like a retarded Kermit the frog :sick:. And the alternate they got to play Donatello had such a monotone that every time he spoke I would get so bored :sleep:.

For some reason the voices for Leonardo and Michaelangelo where never changed and always stayed the same. Which I was gratful for. I don't think any one could replace these two, their voices where just too distictive, particularly Michaelangelo's voice. I would have known straight off the bat if his voice was changed.

Usually when TV shows change voice actors, it kinda bugs me for a while but I get over it in time. Case in point: Crow on MST3k. I dearly loved Trace Beaulieu and was sad to see him leave the show. But after a little hesitation, I grew to love Bill Corbett's Crow even more.

But Old School Raph's voice will forever be Rob Paulsen to me. Screw that other guy.

Word. Or whatever hip phrase the kids are saying these days is.
Everytime I hear his voice in anything I shout "DUDE IT'S RAPH!" and all my friends look at me like :roll:

Yep me too, except it's my mom rolling her eyes, :P

But yeah Rob was perfect for Old Toon Raph, just perfect.

I just think it's kinda funny/weird/cool (which? *shrug*) that at least on the first old toon DVD, Leo's voice sounds almost exactly like Leo's from the new toon. Yes, they're differnent... but they're definitely the same, er, breed (?) of voice.

I think I like old Mikey's voice better, aside from the retarded-sounding "duhawhawhaw's" he does. New Mikey's voice is a little to screechy and whiny for me.

Old Raph was great, but he wouldn't fit the personality of new Raph very well. I like the deep voice and Raph sounds great with a NY (ish) accent... maybe if it were a little less chainsmoker-y it'd be perfect.

And Don? I love both his old and new toon voices. Huzzah.

James Avery is Shredder.....the replacement for him wanged chung!
