I know it's like...too late to ask now, but when me and my friend first watched AC. My friend didn't like Sephiroth's voice. She says that it's too deep or like he sounds like an old man. Well, I don't think so. I think it fits him. I mean, you know Morikawa Toshiyuki playing as Naraku from Inuyasha. (Also, Eneru from One Piece, etc.) I think he really does a good job as acting as an evil character. Plus, I think his voice is sexy!! She also disagreed on some of the voices of some characters, like Kadaaj, Rufus, Reno, etc. I guess it's because I'm used to watching animes in Japanese and she watches them in dubbed versions, so she's not used to the Japanese voice acting... I don't know. What did you guys think of the voice acting? I think they did pretty well! |

I've been a long-time fan of Kadaj's voice actor from when I started collecting the anime series, Orphen. I think his VA does Kadaj justice because of how maddening he can sound, but playful and childish at the same time. All in all, I loved everyone's voices, except for Cait Sith...it really bothered me... |

I was pretty much impressed with all of the characters voice actors/actresses. The only one I had a problem with was Red, I thought his voice would sound deeper than it did. Sephiroth's voice is great, I wonder if his dub actor can live up to it. In fact I wonder if any of the English dub actors/actresses can level with the Japanese VAs.

Yaay! Another person who knows who Orphen is! I'm not alone! Spread the love! I thought Red's VA was good, seeing as Red is only like...18 in human years, his voice should sound young

Nanaki is actually like 40+ in human years. Just around 15 in his own years. And I pictured someone like Sean Connery doing his voice.

heh, I was looking forward to seeing Kadaj too because of Morikubo Shoutarou...I fell in love with Shikamaru, from Naruto, which is voiced by him. Have you heard Morikubo-san sing? He's well sexxay

I thought Tifa's VA wasn't that good. She sounded like she was trying to speak too fast rather than with emotions. And, though it doesn't have to do with the acting, I thought Cloud's was...well, I didn't like that voice for Cloud. =/ |

I'm partial to Cloud's VA...what's the name again? ![]() And Tifa's VA, Ito Ayumi right? Yeah I agree that her voice was somewhat shrilly especially in the scene where she was "nagging" at Cloud for having given up his fight against Geostigma and SHM. Most Clotis seem to be particularly in love with these 2 VAs though ![]() For me, my favourite is definitely Morikubo and maaya Sakamoto. In my opinion, their voices are beautiful. Maaya's voice has the ethereal feel to it...most of us should have heard her sing before :peace:. And Morikubo is sexy. 100x sexier than Cloud's VA. *runs from Cloud fangirls* ![]() Morikubo singing as Shikamaru: http://s12.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1VB9OWH...O51JFQU6XPFAG7D edit: He played the guitar and sang live on radio *sigh*

Tifa's voice surprised me too. I was expecting someone with a slightly deeper voice, as that is generally the norm for fighter-type females in anime. Heck, some of them come dangerously close to sounding like men. xD; The way she speaks, though, is fast and furious (although to be fair, I'm thinking of when she's lecturing Cloud here). Compared to Aerith's more languid style, it just makes their different characters more apparent.
OMG. He did Orphen?! Who? *digs out her old VCDs*I loved Kadaj's VA. I think he managed to pull off sounding childlike yet slightly crazy (and you gotta be slightly crazy to look at Jenova's remains and still call her "mother" :P) very well. Shikamaru roxxors! ![]() I think I loved Red's voice the most. It was so... pretty! So melodic! It was perfect, but if only Red had gotten more lines~ Most disliked voice... Hmm. *thinks hard* ...Vincent? I was expecting someone younger-sounding, don't ask me why. But it's got that neat "don't-talk-often", rusty tone to it that is very Vincent-esque.Aw, heck, I love all the seiyuu. Why did I even post in this thread? xD;
*explodes* STA!!! "Takahiro Sakurai", and don't you forget it!

Gomen!! Sakurai-sama !! My least fave is Vincent's VA too... but you are right, overall, all of them did a fantastic job ![]() Although imho, Morikubo stole the show

Aeriths VA, all of you know who she is, of course, sakamoto maaya. back when she did the voice of hitomi kanzaki for escaflowne in 97, i became a n instant fan, i loved her voice and vocals for the anime. when i heard she was doing the voice for aerith i was completely overjoyed, how perfect was that? my favorite artist, and my favorite character. they casted the right woman to do aeriths voice, there really isnt anyone else who could do it. as for tifa's VA. she was alright. you can seriously tell it was her first experience as a voice over, (not from magazine articles) but by the way she performed. for example, in the fighting scene with loz, her grunting noises didnt match what was happening, and they all sounded the same. and her voice was a bit annoying, when she said, "dont run" and started that nagging sequence. |

I have loved Shoutaro Morikubo's voice since I heard him in Kikaider 01, then in Naruto, Pretear, etc etc etc... XD Ahhh, Maaya Sakamoto was PERFECT for Aerith--and you never would have guessed it, considering how shy she is in real life...until she's tipsy, but...XD I am so glad I got to meet her last September, she put on an AWESOME concert.

He sings, wuv?!! I didn't know that...but now that I do, I must look into it... Inuyatta:
Whaa-! You got to meet her?! I adore her! Wish I could meet her, and I'd love to go see her perform...
I completely agree. Although the rest of the VA's did a fantastic job, I thought Maaya was definitely THE best. She has such a beautiful and graceful voice. I've been a fan of hers ever since I saw Escaflowne, one of the first animes I picked up. I just wish she'd had more lines in AC... Her performance during the flowerfield field scene where Aerith was standing back to back with Cloud is THE awesome and cuteness!
