| Because this happens in real life as well. So when people complain about a character voice sounding to old to be realistic they actually not providing a good point because people in real life can sound older or younger than their real age. Not every high school age kid has smooth pretty boy voice preset 2 or squeaky schoolgirl voice preset 6. |
| It makes it harder to take the show seriously and sometimes you just want to laugh instead. The dude's voice in this clip doesn't match his physique or facial expressions at all |
SpadesofAce said: It makes it harder to take the show seriously and sometimes you just want to laugh instead That's a pretty bad exaggeration, but It does happen the worlds a big place after all. |
| I really don't see the point of some moe girl sounding like a 30 year old in an English dub anyway. I thought that in Gosick, Veronique sounded just a little too old for a cute little girl too, in the English dub, although the voice probably fit her character a little better though. |
RapeHorse said: That's a pretty bad exaggeration, but It does happen the worlds a big place after all. Yeah it's an exaggeration and I love it :P I think in some cases it is not a bad thing if the voice doesn't match the character, especially if it is done intentionally. Take Holo from Spice and Wolf. Although she looked like she was 15 she was actually 600 and thus they gave her a voice with an aristocratic bur in the dub to show that there is more to than meets they eye instead of a moe girl's voice like in the sub. |
| Imagine Jotaro with Asta's voice. . |

| If I hate the voice sometimes I really can't like the character OR the show. Like I can't watch Pichi Pichi Pitch because Lucia's voice actress is SO MISMATCHED AND GOD-AWFUL. |
  |
| Good question. I mean no one complains about a Bruce Lee movie even though the voice matching is bad |
 |
| It will ruin the whole show. People would start thrashing the show. Listen to Asta's voice of Black Clover. His voice matches his personality but will the people like it..... |

Maybe I don't WANT a change of pace. XD I mean, Lucia's really cutesy and girly why give her someone that sounds like a BOY? And that girl cannot act either. Haha I haven't....but yes, I've heard Karen is really really bad. |

| I remember that one chick from Asterik war that voice like a cat getting pinched while talking. and Asta on BC was one of the worst acting i've ever seen. Simply it'll ruin some moments and immersion. |
| Cuz johnny Yong Bosch doesn't voice 'em o wait he does- |
 |
Someone took the time to edit that video.  |
|
| It just felt weird and sort of out of place. But matching or not is more likely associated with our experience with that type character. Growing up with Ash's voice in English make his Japanese voice feel strange. |
 |
| Imagine Jotaro with this voice |
 |
| I used to think the same thing... But then it started to feel like they were just lazy to be doing a proper job!! |
 We can only have good tea while we're alive. |
| My reaction when I watch Dragonball in Japanese Version, even in serious scenes |
 |
| Because it usually sucks or is just unintentionally fucking hilarious when it doesnt. Source: 80s/90s ENG dubs. Ever hear Vash's dub for Trigun? Or pick virtually any OVA around that time and there's guaranteed to be a boatful. Or another example. A friend of mine who somehow still enjoys wrestling in current year shared a clip of Lesnar speaking in our discord server. Guy's huge, but has a high-pitched, nonthreatening voice. It's hilarious. Hell, I WORK with a dude who's huge and has such a quiet, non-intimidating voice. I firmly believe he lacks the ability to speak above a loud whisper. Realism =/= good all the time. Realism = funny though, sure. Its better to have the voice fit the character or persona. Otherwise it just becomes a comedy. |
| I think that's acceptable if the voice don't fit in a sense that it is difference from your expectation. Like the drawing loli from Shimoneta, or Ononoki from Monogatari, their voice may not fit at first but eventually it's okay once you get used to it. In Cantonese dub, Doraemon is voiced by an old man, and nobody ever found it weird. The voice actor deceased a few years ago and Doraemon is now voiced in sharp voice(which is how he supposed to sound like), but people are feeling weird now. So as long as the acting is good, the texture of the voice don't really matter. But when the voice doesn't fit because of bad acting. Like the female protagonist of Nanamaru Sanbatsu. Then that's bad. |
For every character? Or Is that just a reference to Nozawa's Goku. |
And Luffy shouldn't be voiced by a 60 year old woman, It ain't right |
| When I watched season 3 of Shakugan no Shana, I was really bothered by the snake of the festival's voice. |
Yep, for Nozawa only, her voice might be a good for Goku as a kid, but not for Goku as an Adult |

youseiki said: Yep, for Nozawa only, her voice might be a good for Goku as a kid, but not for Goku as an Adult Her voice isn't even that high pitched though. It's just the screams that are a bit high pitched but It actually works If you watch original Dragon Ball in JPN first instead of watching Z first. Her voice is actually deeper as an adult contrary to popular opinion her kid and adult Goku are significantly different in pitch. Kid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU3BywnI5lw&list=PLqm3whmfwvDYensli7joHmEI6basrZer2&index=51 Adult: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUxgIYoc_fU&t=5s Just like how people in real life don't sound completely different when they go through puberty, they just have a deeper pitch and so does Goku. |

Oh nice, I like that one. Well I watched Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z in my country dubbed, so the anime that I'm talking about is Dragon Ball Super, well I don't have that much complains when I got used to it, still funny though. |

Ok, that's understandable. I didn't like her Goku either until a watched a considerable amount of DB and DBZ in Japanese. |
| It makes them hard to take seriously. There are some good manga like denpa kyoshi which got ruined because of a specific seiyuu. The most recent now is black clover. They have to get a matching seiyuu or else those studios should accept some backlash from fans. |

Not every high school age kid has smooth pretty boy voice preset 2 or squeaky schoolgirl voice preset 6. Agreed, I don't consider it a valid sounding point either. For me a new language is like a complete reset for me anyway. On the other hand if it's a switch in the same language that will bother me. For instance there are franchises with inconsistent dub casting like Ghost in the Shell: SAC where the series had one very good cast and the compilation OVAs are dubbed by a completely different cast. |

Speaking of GITS in Ghost in the Shell: Arise and The New Movie's dubs I found it a bit weird because the Major is being played by one actress (Elizabeth MAXWELL) and she has conversations with Kurutsu who is played by The Major's Stand Alone Complex actress (Mary Elizabeth MCGLYNN) so it's like she's talking to herself.... Well, at least in Arise the new voice sort of makes sense since the Major is using a different body. |
