I could hear the female very easily in Stephanie's voice. What annoys me is how so many voice actresses in the old dub raspified (I know it's not a word) their voices to try to sound like a tough boy. Not only did they make them sound older and more obnoxious, they also made them sound like creepy girls. Examples include Freeza, Gohan, Trunks, etc. Anyway, Colleen's been doing pretty well as Cell arc Gohan. People please keep in my mind that Cell Games Gohan is not a teen and is still 10 years old. How low do you expect a 10 year old to sound? Edited by songohanfrancais, Oct 30 2011, 03:23 AM.

I liked all those original dub voices done by the ladies except Kid Trunks. His voice made me cringe |

I'll always prefer Nadolny, Gohan's been my favourite ever since I watched the Ocean Dub as a child so it's not much to do with nostalgia since I much prefer Funi over Ocean Gohan despite seeing Ocean first. Besides changing the voice actor from someone called Stephanie totally ruined an in-joke I had with someone ._. |

Colleen sounded decent on Raging Blast 2 as "teen" Gohan, although they were only a handful of lines so it's hard to make an opinion. In regards to Gohans voice in general, I think that Colleen probably does sound more like a 10 year old. Having said that, I prefer the old voice as it's simply what im used to hearing. They could get an actual 10 year old boy to do his voice, and act perfectly, I'd still prefer the old voice. I can tell the new voice fits the character better and is better acted, but Nostalgia makes me dislike it. Same reason why I prefer Linda Young for Frieza. |

Nadolny's execution was terrible more than anything. Her voice 'acting' was almost non-existent. |

Colleen has been doing fine, and she will continue to do fine. She beats the old voice actors in every way. She actually sounds like a child, she is a good voice actor, and she matches the Japanese representation of the character perfectly. |

You see that is one gripe i have with Kai fanatics. Their so hell bent on him sounding like the perfect 10/11 year old when he doesn't need too. What makes Gohan, Gohan, isn't the fact that his voice sounds the right age. Its the fact that Nadolny IS Gohan in every way. Thats something that some people will never understand. Those who share the similar feeling will understand what im saying. |

I grew up with Stephanie and I don't dislike Colleen, but it's hard to compare with a nostalgia filter. I hate you, nostalgia filter, for closing my mind. |

I know. There's definitely a bias, from both sides. I have to admit at first i thought Kai was a load of BS but i gave it a chance and it definitely has improved in some parts. But as an overall 'improvement' its lacking. I love both Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Kai. Mostly because THEIR THE SAME THING |

I'm not saying he's supposed to sound like the perfect 10 year old. He's quite the opposite when you look at it. He cries, he struggles, he's afraid. That's what Masako and Colleen got that I didn't see from Stephanie or Saffron. Then there's acting. Whether you preferred or not, you have to admit that her acting was very mediocre in the beginning. It may have gotten better, but her acting was dreadful. My gripe with old dub fans is that when we voice our opinions, we suddenly get attacked as if we were being so insulting. I'm not going to say something positive about the dub if I don't see anything positve about it. I don't see what's so great about a dub that butchered an anime for the sake of fitting in with the hyperactive child demographic. The fact of the matter is that Nadolny was not Gohan AT ALL. Gohan is a sensitive little boy who can be constantly scared, yet constantly brave. Masako and Colleen together helped mold what Gohan is in their respective versions. All Nadolny did was try to make his voice raspy to try and make him sound tough. I'm not giving praise to mediocre acting and adapting. Edited by songohanfrancais, Nov 1 2011, 12:52 PM.

Funimation were noobs when they started dubbing DBZ. I can assure you if the One Piece 4kids dub aired at that time many of you would of preferred that. You might be thinking 4KIDS ONE PIECE DUB ARE U A MORON FUNI DBZ is NOTHING LIKE THAT! Inaccurate script- check Cutting down the series episode count- check Changing the series music- check Characters that don't sound like their Japanese counterparts- check Dubbed for the sole purpose of selling toys to young children- check I'm sure we would have some 4kids vs Funi Sanji threads too lol. This pretty much sums it up
What I dislike is that Funi has dubbed the show a billion times which has divided the fandom. |

Anyone saying Colleen/Stephanie is better is wrong, it's impossible for either of them to be better since it's an opinion and an opinion can't be right :P I'm sure most of you were saying it as an opinion but I notice a lot of people saying it like it's a fact. Personally I also think people are comparing too much (Even I did it). The topic is only about Colleen, not Stephanie, however good/bad you think Stephanie did isn't important. Even if I hated her Gohan voice it wouldn't change the fact I don't like Colleen's either, it's doesn't have to be one or the other. You can like or hate both, but the point of this topic is purely about how well you think Colleen is doing and not Stephanie. I don't like Colleen's Gohan personally.
