@NCZ That's how adult Goku is supposed to sound.

@penguintruth I still don't like it, though. Yes, she truly does have impressive acting ability, but I think the voice is totally off. Well, I mean, at times, it KIND of works. I find at some points, the voice is tolerable, though still a little jarring to those not used to it. But I don't like her screams or yells, like when she does a Kamehameha. There are a few other quirks of her voice that also put me off, and it bothered me that they cast her as the adult Gohan and Goten. Okay, maybe that made some sense, since they're related to Goku. For Turles, I suppose using a slightly more sinister-sounding Goku voice kind of made sense, since he's meant to represent an alternate Goku (aside from that, I still don't think it suits him). I do not think the voice works for Bardock at all.

BTW, I know that since Toriyama personally selected her, that's how Kid Goku's supposed to sound, and that's fine, because I've said I liked her as Kid Goku. I've never heard him say anything about adult Goku's voice, though. But, that's a whole new discussion, so I'll save it for a forum.

@NCZ It's those quirks that make me love her as Goku, show that he's a guy who trips over his words, his syllables, that his speech is awkward from not receiving proper education. It gives him this off-beat charm.

I agree about Bardock, actually. There was no good reason to cast her as Bardock. I don't hate her Bardock, but it wasn't necessary. Especially since Bardock was a gleeful murderer like the rest of the Saiyans.

But Nozawa just adds this warm sincerity that can't be beat. If the voice sounds "totally off", it's because Goku himself is supposed to be "totally off". He's marching to the beat of his own drum.
