| Have you encountered one?? and why do you think so??. I think Kirei Kotomine from Fate/Zero is a good example of this. I think his voice doesn't fit the character. The VA's voice is very big and deep, this kind of voice is fitted for big characters with mascular bodies. Fate/Zero SPOILER: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmqJvVqw8cs |
| b-b-b-baka!! |

| Recently completed Mawaru penguindrum, and I have to say the voice of Himari was really horrible, she sounded like a 90 year old granny.. |
Kagami_Hiiragi said: Idc if you think its weird, I have a life and friends and an income of money. |
| Kuroko from the Railgun/Index series. Honestly, she sounds like a dying grandma as opposed to her rich, teenage girl image. But I got used to it |
 |
| http://myanimelist.net/character/32922/Ranko_Hata - she sounds like the robot from To Love-Ru....hate her voice..not fitted for a high school girl.. |

emeraldrosary said: This.The only one I remember off the top of my head is Goku's voice from DBZ. When I was a kid I thought his voice was way too high. Portuguese dubs are way better for Goku. I mean, they are DAMN PERFECT. We even got a meme on Brazil "Oi, eu sou o Goku!" (Hey, my name's Goku!) because the dubs are so perfect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuhLMGjuMx4 Explore it however you want. (Yes, the opening is also dubbed. So perfect.) |
 |
| I actually think the voice used for Kirei was spot on. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Nase Mitsuki from Kyoukai no Kanata.. Her voice doesn't suit her at all. Its too deep. |
| huehuheh |
| Kotomine had that voice since Fate/stay night was first ported to PS2. It fits him perfectly. I can't really think of any VA that doesn't fit the character. They take VA very seriously in Japan. Heck, sometimes a character may even be adjusted to fit a popular VA, instead of the other way around. |
| Only time I think a voice doesn't fit it's character is when I switch from Sub to Dub, and think the English voice actors don't fit the person they are voicing. |

| If you have ever played Tales of Xillia, the main female characters voice in the english dub makes me want to kill my self. I don't know how my brother has 50 hours played on it when I can't stand 6 minutes of her voice |
| Edward Elric in Japanese. I always thought Vic did a much better job than Romi ever could with Ed. |
| Almost any Japanese person that voices a white, black, or other ethnic character. Especially if they're located in Europe or somewhere based off a non Asian foreign country. Blonde people in the middle ages never spoke Japanese. Nor do white & black people in New York in the 1930's. Nor do British & German people in WWII. |

Zelot said: Milla's voice was fine, her acting at times was off but in terms of fitting its perfect for her. The tales games generally have strong voice acting in dub and sub and xillia was probably the best one yet, milla was the only one whos voice was really off and the guy who played alvin seriously needs more roles cause he reached troy baker levels at times, tales game shave great 1 on 1 fights and xillia has one of the best and in that 1v1 scene the guy who played alvin really killed it and sold the character.If you have ever played Tales of Xillia, the main female characters voice in the english dub makes me want to kill my self. I don't know how my brother has 50 hours played on it when I can't stand 6 minutes of her voice CamoBullo said: I'll agree to this as well, this was the main reason i watched the dub for both series, his japanese voice actor makes him sound like hes 6, the actress that played him was fine but its voice was so unfitting it was off-putting, thank god both fma dubs did the show justiceEdward Elric in Japanese. I always thought Vic did a much better job than Romi ever could with Ed. |

| The brother in Sasami-san@Ganbaranai. |
| The Russian dub of Misa from Death Note. Probably the only dub where her voice isn't really high pitched and squeaky. Also, the English dubbed Gasai Yuno has a really low voice, but I probably just think that after hearing her annoyingly high pitched voice in the Japanese dub. |
| English dub of Now and Then, Here and There. I normally like dubs, but the dubbed voices didn't fit any of the main characters and detracted from the show at points. |
| получить деньги моего друга |
| Roy Mustang sounded silly in English. |

Not a lot of Russian women have high pitched voices. I've even seen girls as young as 10 start developing deep voices. I think it's a genetic thing, thy can't really help it. My friends wife is Russian. Very cute and petite looking. You'd swear she's have an equally cutesy voice to go along with it. But helll, it's deeper than a lot men's voices. |

| English Dub Alphonse from Fullmetal Alchemist, it just never sat right for me, though I kinda got used to it. I mean, the anime was absolutely perfect in Japanese, 11/10, and they did a superb job on dubbing Ed's voice, but I feel as if Al's doesn't fit, not that the sound of the voice doesn't fit, well ,the actor I mean, but the way that I just feel he never really showed THAT much emotion, it was always pretty monotone for me |

The worst offender I've seen so far is The Book Thief - only the trailer's out so far, but it features German characters... in Germany... in the middle of WW2... speaking English with German accents. aaaaaaurrrrggghhhdkfjsdfkjdf!!! |

| I think I might get some flack for this, but the english voice for Ed from Full Metal Alchemist, it was too old. And Barret from Final Fantasy:Advent Children- it was too high pitched |
| The reason there aren't subs in Hollywood movies is because 1. America is stupid and doesn't want to read that shit. 2. The actors can't speak the language and poorly spoken ____ will only hinder the performances. It's the same reason foreign movies avoid broken Engrish whenever possible since it'll only hurt the movie. Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Basterds is probably the only time I've seen being fluent in different languages actually elevate or add anything to a performance. |

We all have different tastes.Maybe it;s one of those voices that is hard to get right cause I could see why someone might think the Japanese voice is too /young/. |

This topic has not been locked and is still available for discussion. |
| Pokemon Origins. I just wished the voice actor changed the pitch of voice, but no, I am hearing Naruto call in Pokemon. I sorta thought in my head that Red had a deeper voice. |
PrimeX said: ouch. thats deep.TomBomb said: every voice in a dub Ignorant moron. Well If they are going to hate on something just due to the fact they dislike it, then you are an idiot. If you want to argue using examples and reasons then fine. Could care less whether you like or dislike dubs. Just explain why in a non-retarded manner. |
| Every dub ever http://myanimelist.net/character/4180/Nono_Nekomiya ^ this girl's voice made me physically cringe at just about every word |

| Kid trunks in the new Dragon ball movie ( not only did it not fit him, the voice alone is just bad) Revy from Black lagoon ( You would think this type of character would sound great in English but nope think again) shattereddreamzz said: Recently completed Mawaru penguindrum, and I have to say the voice of Himari was really horrible, she sounded like a 90 year old granny..

| Yeeeeeees. The D.Gray-Man dub. Almost none of the voices fit. Blah. |
| lol the first time i ever watched a dubbed anime was because of Kenshin Himura from the Rurouni Kenshin series, the subbed voice was just o.o weird.. |

I sorta disliked that one villain, the little girl, the one you fight in the beginning and again later in the campaign. My brother loved her voice acting though.

[spoilers]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqo4FTp8Oio It just doesn't fit IMO |
| Even though I'm far from a fan of the Clannad dub, I feel like Greg Ayres voicing Youhei made a lot more sense than the deep voice he had in the original version. I mean, Ayres gave him a whiny, immature voice. Isn't that exactly what he is? |

They don't speak whatever language ultimately makes the most sense because very few famous actors speak all these languages. It's pretty unfair to force them to somehow become fluent in languages they would never use other than to play these parts, and they wouldn't sound "native" at all. If they hired actual *insert language here* native speakers, then chances are no one in the american public will know who they are. It only makes sense that people are going to make movies in their native language regardless of what language they should actually be speaking in that setting. |
