Worst Voice Ever!

Hyper Metal Sonic · 04-21-2004, 09:34 PM

What's the worst voice in a cartoon/anime dub?

My vote goes for Sonic in the ADV dub of the Sonic OVA...

...come to think of it, all of the voices in that damn thing were bad.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 04-21-2004, 10:11 PM

The voice of Ash Catchum/Tails/Chris/Mokuba/kid in Lone Raph and Cub/every bad kid voice currently on Saturday morning. She can't act, she has no emotion, she sucks.
They really need to fire her. Other than that......every voice on the US version of the Sonic OVA.
All english voices in US Sonic X SUCK. They can't act. 4Kids was too cheap to hire the game voice actors, and Ryan Drummond was willing to move to New York to do it. That's why I hate 4Kids. They ruined Sonic X with their horrible actors. TMNT is so lucky....

Not to say that the Ryan and co. from the games were LOADS better, but they were better than anything than 4Kids could produce.

However, I do like Eggman's US voice a bit for one reason or another.

Anyone remembers the voice actress from Rogue in the 90s-X-Men show? She sucked!

**Jo Dawn** · 04-21-2004, 11:14 PM

I remember reading that she had a bad cold when she got the job... and they liked it so that's why she talked like that.

The voice overs for that Sonic anime...with Metal Sonic or whatever...god I hated them so badly.

*Dane E5R* · 04-21-2004, 11:33 PM

Sonic's japanese voice in both anime are excellent. I like his English Sonic X voice, though. And Knuckles, Eggman and Sera in the anime were okay. I really hated when Ranma Saotome's voice switched from Sarah Strange to Richard Cox. It wasn't necessarily that Richard has a bad voice. He's actually quite good, and he's perfect in Inuyasha. It's just that Sarah had grown on me.

Meira-Bates · 04-22-2004, 12:09 AM

as almost everyone said...the american dubbing of the Sonic OVA @.@ but even worse imo is the dubbed voice of a character called Fam in an anime known as Ruin Explorers x.X I swear everytime she yelled 'Ire!'(that's her 'partner's' name) I thought my ear drums were gonna explode. Other than that, Karishima Kanna's dubbed voice on that Sakura Wars TV series....good lord...when she doesn't sound like a total idiot she sounds like someone trying to do an impression of Rocky...and yes I do mean the 'Itallion Satalion'.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 04-22-2004, 12:15 AM

"Almost" all American dubs suck. It's always sloppy, cheaply produced, and pure crap, cuz they don't care about what they are doing, and the animation and lip sync wern't made to match English. It's usually always a joke, TMNT being one of the precious exceptions. Japanese voice actors have so much emotion it their acting, and almost always sound better.

*MrPliggins* · 04-22-2004, 12:50 AM

The old lady from "Adam Sandler's 8 Crazy Nights", definitely hands down.

愛 · 04-22-2004, 12:58 AM

I always watch the dub of an anime movie/series before I watch the subbed.

I could've done without Shinji Ikari's dubbed voice in Neon Genesis Evangelion.

*Dane E5R* · 04-22-2004, 01:21 AM

I will never agree that the japanese are trying any harder with their voice acting than Americans. And I hate subtitles. I like to WATCH movies. That's WHY I'm WATCHING a movie instead of reading a book.

*Anarchistguy* · 04-22-2004, 07:25 AM

Almost EVERYONE in Dragon Ball Z.

-Son Goku sounded too heroic
-Chibi Son Gohan sounded like a spoiled brat
-Piccolo was WAY overdone
-Vegeta sounded like a british person (Christopher Sabat SUCKS)
-ChiChi....ugh
-Bulma sounded like a teenage b**** even in GT where she was pretty damn old

and FUNimation REALLY screwed up the characters. for example:
-Instead of fighting because he loves it, Goku was now the protector of the universe (Marvel super hero style)
-Vegeta is supposed to be calm, cold and distant. Instead he's a macho hothead

-American Sonic X is PURE CRAP!!!
I litteraly can't stand more than 5 minutes of it or I'm gonna blow my brains out.

And yet... you did not mention she also does April's voice...

I would have to disagree with some of those. Goku sounded more like a clueless, naive man than a superhero, and Piccolo and Vegeta's voices were perfect. I liked them better than the Japanese ones. The others... yes, I do agree.

Actually, Veronica Taylor doesn't voice Tails.

Didn't know that either. If she does such a good April, then why does she suck so badly at all the others? All the more reason to be confused I guess.

*Stone Ill* · 04-22-2004, 10:27 AM

Cartoon or Anime dub?

The topic title seems to suggest a bit more than that, don't ya think?

*Dr. Doom* · 04-22-2004, 10:46 AM

I actually prefer to watch stuff dubbed, jsut because it allows me to pay more attention to the visual aspects of stuff. The only exception would be if the dub was just UN-FREAKING-BARABLE. I also really like trying to identify English VAs just from hearing them, so that is kinda nice when it's dubbed too.

On topic tho, this is something I hafta think about, cause there are a lotta VAs out there. I'll get back to you all on it.

Yeah.,.. they're okay... and certainly a step up from ...shudder... urkle (sorry for the old early 90's actor vendetta, but I am really disliking the Sonic from Adventures of... Robotnik was fun to laugh at, and the two dumb-bots were okay, especially Michael Donovan) Eggman is my favorite, and I like his 2 evil robots. the others are okay... nothing spectacular...

Anyway... there's this one voice actree... either Chantal Strand or Andrea Libman (I can't trust fuzzy.com... they're always gleeming miscnceptions) all her voices sound BLOODY the same. All she can do is that little baby voice.... annoying.

*Taloniss* · 04-22-2004, 05:03 PM

That women they brought in to play Maude Flanders when the old VA left over money on Simpsons before they offed her. Lord, she was bad.
