D'oh. Brain fart. Well, usually people don't call her only by her first name... Then yes. Agreed. Can't beat the original. |

I think that they were trying to keep in the same as sailor moon villians, or rita repulsa, or something that they know will draw little kids to the show, and little kids will always hate witchy sounding characters for some reason. I was terrified of Linda Young's Frieza, and tuned in every week until I made sure the sucker was dead. A lot of cartoon casting choices are done just as much for the sake of marketing as they are done for the sake of the performance. Chris' Frieza sounds like more like the actress Judi Dench, so there's a woman who sounds like that.

I like Friezas not sounding or looking masculine, it adds the "don't judge a book by its cover" element. |

Really? I didn't like her Genkai. Sounded...."fake". If you know what I mean. You most likely don't. It's just hard to explain. |

Funimation Frieza sounded evil to me, especially his laugh. I liked him that way. |

For all we know Freeza's race might not even have a gender, we don't know if he has a mum or not after all. So a feminine sounding voice isn't that bad, I suppose. |

I've always assumed Freeza's race was genderless like the Namekians. But i still think a male voice suits him more. The original Japanese cast is my favorite. Almost every character sounded right there. |

Dark feminine features are a pretty classic cliche for villains? Especially ones like Frieza who are less brute power and more psychologically damning, patronising, sly and clever. I don't see why it's weird in the context of storytelling history that he's so feminine? Gender cues are very much a human thing, though. There's no reason why they'd apply to an alien race or why an alien race would even have the same genders or any genders at all. The use of "he" is often a default for the genderless in language where a non gender word isn't available. Lipstick? His lips are just another colour to the rest of him. |
