How do you feel about the voices?

Hell, even April was changed from the first movie)

If the movie does well, I think that they'll want to keep the voices all the same.

I like Knoxville as Leo but there is a part of me that feels bad for Pete and I keep wondering if it is ever awkward for him around the other turtle guys and Knoxville

[Metropoliskid41]

Sounds fine to me! I'm much more worried about their dialogue and not their voices! I'm worried Mikey is going to be given the same treatment that Jazz got in the first Transformers movie.

[Shark_Blade]

They're all amazingly good.

I went with okay/not sure on Knoxville - ive been very vocal on other threads about how uneven his performance seems, and how certain lines seem strong and authoritative, and others, high pitched, and ridiculous.

but then again Leo is a teen, and he may be going through 'that time'.

[The Boston Ninja Turtle]

Honestly out of the 4 voices Raph and Mikey bug me the most

they just sound like the are trying to hard and come off forced


noel is making himself be a surfer instead of just making Mike fun loving natural goof...and Raph is Batman now

then again part of it could be the dialog written


Leo and Donnie sound perfect to me

That's the thing, Knoxville's voice sounds like a 50 year old who smokes two packs a day. He has the least teenager voice out of all of them. I'm hoping they're still cleaning up his vocals or something because like you said it's very uneven.

Am I the only one who wants to hear Pete do Leo? I mean Knoxville is just not who I would of picked for it. But it might work I'm sure but the end of the movie I'll be fine with it. I just don't know how like a press photo shoot would go would you use the 4 that voiced them or the 4 that played them? Or all 5. I guess we'll find out at the movie premier

[FrankRightNow]

And to be clear I just want to hear Pete do leap just for my sheer judgement. Thani can me oh yeah they made the right call

[MajorViolence]

Mikey's voice really sounds forced to me. I'm still on the fence about Leo. Same goes for Donnie. Raph's voice is laying on the "tough guy" a bit too thick. I'm okay with him sounding like that when they're in battle and facing threats, but it seems like every single line is going to be whispers and gravel.

Honestly, out of all of them, Leo's voice is the one I like best, which is not something I expected to be saying.

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

While I would've preferred Pete for Leonardo, although Knoxville is serviceable. The voices are actually the best part of the movie.

You are not the only one. I'm pretty outraged about it. The guy gave what looks like a perfect visual performance so I'm sure his vocals were spot on.

[RAPHAEL#1fan]

I really can't decide yet from what I seen and heard it's not lengthy enough to determine if its good or not, unless some one can point me in the right direction with some good footage to listen to.

Im starting to warm up to Raph's voice because we are hearing actual dialogue; I wasnt sure at first because all we heard grunts, and yells, and I thought to myself, I hope they dont go down this weird caveman path with him just to prove his tough.

Honestly I liked it better when all we'd heard was grunts and growls, because I didn't realize that was how he was going to sound all the time. The more I hear him speak, the more I realize he's going to sound constipated for the entire movie.

When he says, "They're taking hostages" in trailer 2 or 3 he sounds the most normal. I think we're mostly hearing him talk when he's really angry or trying to be intimidating. But he kinda sounds like Bruce Willis when he says that line.

The reason i don't like Knoxville's voice is because he sounds like a 40 year old as opposed to all the other Turtles, he doesn't sound like a Teenager like Raph Mikey and Don, he sounds too old, that's why his voice doesn't fit with Raph, Mikey or Don

Yea, it's way too gruff. Also makes Leo come off as "trying to be tough" instead of a natural leader. Knoxville would've been more suited for Raph. I don't get it. They got the rest of the turtle personalities down to the point where you could only hear their voice and know who it is... Except Leo. He's the odd man out and it sucks.

Exactly Leo being my favorite Turtle it sucks extra for me, Pete's voice would have fitted way better! it would have been a lot more natural, like i said Knoxville's voice doesn't fit with the other Turtles.
