OPINION: "Well Known" English voice actors to dub?

[MegaZoneXE]

Many have spoken on how they feel about the possible dubbing here for PSO2

But the English version of Phantasy Star Online 2 should use well known voice actors, just as they did with the Japanese version.

I've done some [light] voice comparisons to find the best actor suitable for a few characters, trying to stay true to their Japanese actor and personality [Lisa...]:

Afin

Mona Marshal


Works:
Digimon Adventure - Izzy Izumi
Wolf's Rain - Toboe

Xeno

Johnny Yong Bosch


Works:
Bleach – Ichigo Kurosaki

Jean

Christopher Sabat


Works:
Dragon Ball - Piccolo
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Alex Louis Armstrong

Shion

Lisa

Tara Strong

Lollipop Chainsaw - Juliet Starling
Batman: Arkham City - Harley Quinn

[Angelo]

Should've provided some examples.

The only one I'm familiar with is Johnny Yong Bosch, and I think he'd be perfect for Xeno.

Lisa

Spoiler!

Tara Strong


Works:
Lollipop Chainsaw - Juliet Starling
Batman: Arkham City - Harley Quinn

That's not Wendee Lee.

[Rika-chan]

Yep, perfect for Xeno. I think Christopher Sabat is pretty good for Jean too. Not familiar with all the others

[Valkyrie Lovrina]

Lisa

Spoiler!

Tara Strong


Works:
Lollipop Chainsaw - Juliet Starling
Batman: Arkham City - Harley Quinn

Wendee Lee for this. Tara Strong would make a good Echo I think.

I wouldn't expect a high-caliber "dream cast" (HAHAHA SEE WHAT I DID?) dub for this game at all. I really doubt they have the budget for it and it largely depends on where and how the dub is produced, be it internally or contracted out to someone else.

There's a lot more that goes into producing a dub than "Man, I want this person's voice in those polygons." There's budget, contracts, unions, and location of both the production studio and the actors themselves.

[Zyrusticae]

Steven Blum as Vol Dragon.

This is a foregone conclusion.

Yuri Lowenthal as every one else.

Hmmmm...

[Vashyron]

Littlekuriboh for all of them.

[BIG OLAF]

Hey, you didn't include "Timmy Turner" (The Fairly Oddparents) for Tara Strong's works. Come on, that's her best performance.

[Garnet_Moon]

Well-known actors to do the character audio too. Since we know we'll never get actual phrases like the JP characters get and instead just moans and groans and other sounds associated with sex, I think Lexi Belle and Sasha Grey should do the female voices. Oh god, Sasha Grey

And for the older folks maybe some Ashley Renee~
