how ya been

Hey.

Hey what's up

Don't forget to answer my visitor messages.

In the Bang Zoom dub thread on Kanzenshuu, you said that the Japanese DCAU actors just sound like the English ones. That is so not true.

Listen to Darkseid's voice in the Japanese dub of Superman TAS:

Sounds absolutely nothing like Michael Ironside.

"The problem I have w/Schemmel is that he was a dude off the street who happened to be able to match Ian Corlett...who is an incredible actor that FUNi practically had no business working with, but besides the point, they were casting to totally misrepresent the character. If Toei had at least even cared to get JP audio references & good translations, I could imagine them using maybe Matt Hill or Terry Klassen (who was Krillin, but regardless), & you'll recognize these if you saw Beast Wars, X-Men Evolution, older Gundam dubs, Megaman 90s cartoon, Sonic 90s cartoon, Transformers Unicron etc."

Dude, Terry Klassen and Matt Hill would be huge miscasts as Goku. And Schemmel might have been a guy off the street, but he can act well now.

When it comes to this voice actor counterpart thing, I don't really care for it since I doubt that a so called American counterpart of a Japanese voice actor could do all the roles that the Japanese voice actor can do.

In your Twitter, you've said that Maurice LaMarche, Corey Burton, Frank Welker, Mark Hamill and Nolan North are comparable to Koichi Yamadera, but I can't see them working as Spike Spiegel.

As for Ron Perlman being the equivalent of Norio Wakamoto, well, Wakamoto is more of a hammy actor than Perlman is. If I had to do compares, I'd compare Perlman more to Akio Otsuka.

When it comes to Scott McNeil and Corey Burton, I'd compare Scott more to Jim Cummings. Corey is much better at regal voices than Scott and Jim.

ah hah thats fair, i just figured it's more a side-thing "I dont see myself as a VA"

You know, I like you a lot, but you can be a bit ignorant at times. For example, you said that Blum was very green in 1998-1999 when he did Cowboy Bebop. That's wrong. He was already doing dubs since 1992, so he was far from green.

Well, you can finally talk to me if you like.
