Voice Compare » Kingdom Hearts » DiZ
Comparision of the voice over actors who have been the voice of DiZ with sound clips and images.
EDITOR'S OPINION
DiZ, a genuinely enigmatic individual and while I am sure there are plenty of KH fans in here who know otherwise I will keep this brief just to prevent spoilers. (So to make a long story short this will be one of my shorter reviews.)In the Kingdom Hearts series namely starting with the 2nd game in the series he is voiced by highly renowned classic actor Christopher Lee. While Christopher Lee is very recognizable in this role (not that I am complaining) but while the idea of casting Christopher Lee in this role felt a little strange at first but lets just say makes a bit more sense once you get to know this role more. Christopher Lee did a nice more somber performance for this role (but as you can notice here not flat out stoic either) which is overall a good example of how the quality of the Kingdom Hearts series can be.
While DiZ was for the most part voiced by Christopher Lee in Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories he is voiced by VA Corey Burton. And anyone whom is familiar with Corey Burton's handiwork (especially those whom are familiar with Star Wars) know on how Corey Burton is the "Go-to Guy" in mimicking Christopher Lee and is known for doing it well and this time is no exception. While Corey has once again did a great imitation of Lee's voice and Corey's performance was also nice and somber and fitting for the role.
Overall to make a long story short both have done well for this role so I am going for a tie here.

There's really no contest here. It's Count Dooku from the "Clone Wars" spin-offs versus the REAL Count Dooku. Christopher Lee wins hands down.

Christopher Lee all the way, though Corey Burton does do a good Lee impersonation, if anyone were to replace Christopher Lee's roles, Burton would be my ideal choice.

Gonna go with Lee. I'm not a fan of Corey Burton's Christopher Lee impersonations (though I love his work), and he sounds too much like Yen Sid.

I'll have to go with Mr. Lee, but Corey sounds amazing as well!

Corey Burton's clip sounds almost like an impersonation of Tony Jay!
That's why he will probably voice Shere Khan in Kingdom Hearts III

It totally makes sense that Corey voices DIZ.
Whoever Christopher voices, Corey will voice that character too.

Huge credit to Corey Burton. Nobody can imitate the great Sir Christopher Lee so well, but Corey comes the closest out of anyone.
My choice of course goes to Christopher Lee. My favorite actor of all time.

Christopher Lee definitely has the upper hand here. Though Corey Burton did a fine job as well, I can't help but think of Zeus from "God of War" when I listen to him :|

Christopher Lee is my choice but credit goes to Corey Burton who is probably the only VA who can mimick Lee so closely.

I like his deeper, raspier take on DiZ.
