Orochimaru in english

[Ladywriter]

is the SHITTIEST DUB I'VE HEARD YET.
I think I need to go vomit -_-;

[DeathscytheX]

at first I thought Itachi had the same VA as Sesshomaru then when i heard it again i realized it wasnt and was quite dissapointed.

orochimaru in japanese sounds evil and sadistic.. even snake like. orochimaru in english sounds like a closet pervert. -_- they may have been better with tony danza doing the voice after all.

[Ladywriter]

I'd rather have Tony. At least he can do a raspy voice. This guy just kind of makes me want to kill myself... or dress in layers -_-;

Hard to believe that it's Steven Blum(Spike of Cowboy Bebop among others)...I snagged an Orochimaru ep not long after hearing his English VA, and have to agree...the Japanese Orochimaru is waaay creepier.

[DeathscytheX]

at least they didn't use Kwuabara's English VA ROTFLMAO X'D

[Sledgstone]

*shudders at the thought* :p

[Godgrave]

Tha Jap va is perfect for Oro-sama, it's a lady's voice I think, just like Naruto which I really couldn't believe at first hehe.

[Sledgstone]

I wish there was more talent in english VAs.. either that or the majority of dubbing companies need to fire their casting directors.

[DeathscytheX]

There are very few. My personal favorite is Steven Blum. Hes done Spike, Mugen, and Kazuma in those action animes, and then he has done Jamie in Megas XLR, and hell he's done Dhalsim in Street Fighter animes X'D

Scott McNeil is pretty handy, Kouga, Piccolo/Nappa/Jeice, Duo Maxwell, and did some work in REBOOT X'D gotta love it

Then you gotta give it to Kirby Marrow who has done the likes of Goku, Miroku, and Trowa.

And David Kaye who has done Treize and Sesshomaru, and then turns around and can do something as goofy as Racoom and Burter on the Ginyu force.

Sometimes even these guys get misused. Sadly its not always the voice actors fault, sometimes its what the director wants out of their voices like you mentioned.

I wonder if these people have ever seen the original japanese version of the animes they are duplicating?
