English voice actors

[Mercen-X]

Mr. T? No!

I never imagined Mr. T's voice when I read what Barret said. Honestly, I've only seen Mr. T on TV and I've never even heard him swear. The closest matches that I could find to Barret are "Tigatron" from Beast Wars Transformers (who may also be good for Nanaki) or Wesley Snipes.

I think that David Kaye would make an awesome Sephiroth. David Kaye is the name of the voice actor behind Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's brother and nemesis. If you've never heard of Inuyasha than that could be because one of three things: you don't have cable or you don't get "Adult Swim" which could actually be watched by a five year old or you may not be a fan of anime.

We've already decided who we'd WANT for the voices in another thread, so I'll stop talking about that. I'll watch, enjoy, and purchase Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children as long as the voice actors don't sound like idiots.
There were points in KH when the actors did horrendous voice acting. Like Haley Joel Osmond when he first met that guy in the cloak. He said, "Where did YOU come from?" placing undue emphasis on "you." They could've edited the scene so that he asked that question the second he heard the guy's voice, so it wouldn't have sounded so stupid. Otherwise, they really needed to have acting coaches in there.
This was a really bad call for both Disney and Square. Not controlling the takes, not hiring a vocal coach. Billy Zane did a pretty good job, but even he screwed up a couple times. About the only guy who did a GOOD job in the game was Steve Burton playing Cloud . . . and I have no idea who the hell HE is.
Hiring unknowns to the voice acting is a surefire way to earn the respect of the common fan. "Unknowns" are the voice-actors of anime. Since they've never been physically on TV or in the movies (few exceptions I know of are Phil Lamarr, Jackie Chan, Danny Cooksey, and Jason Marsden) they're basically unknown to the average movie-going American.
