OK, i just got Pretear DVD set, and decided to see how the dub was. Its horribl, absolutly no voicematching. (hell Himeno sounds like a vally girl

) so it brought up my fears of thie dub. how bad will the voice matching be. you can bet all names will be bastardized into american. (remember how wierd sakura was in the CCS dub?) the japanese pronuncietion of the names are poetic. bastardization is horrible. (its bad enough they ALWAYS have to drop the second vowel {u} so Yuuko will turn out to be Yuko, which if looked at with out actually HEARING her name will cause people to pronouce it "Yuck-o" DX. and if i even HEAR them pronouce Fai's name like "Faye" just becaouse the anime spells it as Fay, ill stop right there. i will NOT put up with that AT ALL!

what are some of YOUR worst fears?

Well it would be good if Fai even turned to Faye, than changing his neame completly >.<
The worst would be Kurogane's voice... I really know how horrible dub can be done in my country (with english dub I only know some older animes - Dragon Ball or Digimon) and I konw that it's hard to find a voice for a character like Kurogane...
And Yuuko would have a voice of an old hag or Fai voice of a girl... *shudder*

true. voice matching is the #one thing to get. in Pretear, out of all hte main characters (the 7 nights, and Himeno's family) only Mayune and himeno's father have good matches. everyone else, is poorly done, tho Sasame is close, but not quite.

I don't think Funimation is going to screw TRC up, with how popular it is and all. Old Funi is getting better with voice overs, Fullmetal Alchemest, Trinity Blood and Eureka 7.

So don't judge it till you hear it. Besides there are a few American dubbed versons over the Japanese ones. Wolf's Rain OVA's is a good example.

My fear is, if any, who the heck is Fai's VA going to be? And Funi is also true to names. So Sakura's name will be pronouced Saa-kur-a, and Fai's will be F-eye.(mind the pun)

Well, Four confermed voices has shown up at ANN

Monica Rial will most likely play as Mokona, as she has play small animals in the past.

Mike McFarland might be Fay,

Colleen CLINKENBEARD Might be Yuuko

Caitlin GLASS might be Sakura, because I know she can sing, or she could be the girl who sings at the Clover Bar

I could be wrong at who's who and what not

You mean the guy who VA-ed Edward? I think that his VA-ing is great, he made Ed sound prety good [I didn't like the seyui, Ed sounded too young]! I'm one of his voice groupies XD [lol].

And after all I think after Furuba the VA-ers got better, but Momiji was played by a bit too girly in Funi version, wasn't he? Ayaka Saito-sama FOREVER [she was pretty good in Host Club too]

I just heard Monica Rial is going to be Sakura... Why? If I could have requested one voice actress not to play Sakura it would have been her. I'm sure Vic Mignogna will do fine as Fay. But I have never heard any of Jason Liebrecht's roles.... and he's Syaoran! So I hope he's good. Chris Sabat I actually heard and I think he might do well. It's not like I have any control over this situation.... why Monica Rial?! WHY?!

Sailor Yue-chan · « **Reply #8 on:** March 01 2007, 03:58 pm »

who is she? name something she's done...

voice matching is essential with dubs. i cannot watch the Pretear dub cuz i absoulutly LOATH Hayate's VA. it makes me nauxuos hearing it

There's actually a lot more and to be perfectly honest, I haven't heard her in all these roles... so I'm going to hope that she is capable of something more than what I have heard her as.

I really don't agree on that, Edward's japanese seiyuu(Romi Paku) is great! The japanese seiyuus are always better at voiceacting I think, I didn't like Vic's voiceacting, he's ok but if you compare him to Romi Paku(the japanese seiyuu) I absolutely think that Romi Paku is ten times better than him or more!

I wonder how Fai will sound with Vic voiceacting him...

EuphoriaBliss · « **Reply #14 on:** March 02 2007, 10:31 pm »

Actually, I can imagine Vic being Fay... though it doesnt seem to fit a bit.

Sailor Yue-chan · « **Reply #15 on:** March 03 2007, 12:29 am »

voice of edward=voice of fai...... not quite, unless he changes it slightly. i always got semi anoyed by ed's voice. to throaty reeally....

Crystal_Wings · « **Reply #16 on:** March 03 2007, 11:51 am »

Maybe Vic will change his voice... I haven't heard him as anything other than Edward though.... I have heard his real voice and I think if it was just a little lighter... it might work.

vampifaied · « **Reply #17 on:** March 05 2007, 04:17 am »

Vic Also plays Dark from DNAngel

Crystal_Wings · « **Reply #18 on:** March 05 2007, 06:16 am »

Oh yeah, I have heard him as Dark.... Dark is really... wow... yeah, I really like him. <3
I don't know if that will work for fai though. Hmmmmm.... I wish I could hear a voice demo from him.

Saa-kur-a.... *shudders at the pronounciation*. I seriously pray that they won't pronounce it that way... I love the word/name(and the flower itself XD) Sakura and pronouncing it that way would make me want to pull my hair.
