Freeza's Korean and Spanish voices also fail.

His Korean one makes Linda Young sound like Smaug by comparison, making Freeza make this cute little noble woman sounding character

Spanish Dub gives Freeza this baritone voice that sounds brutish

Favorites:

Masako Nozawa (Original Jp Goku/Gohan/Goten/Bardock)- She's the only voice actor who correctly portrays Goku's personality on screen.

Brian Drummond (Vegeta- Ocean Dub): Particularly in early DBZ, when Vegeta was a raging psycho. He didn't really fit him later in the series, and for that, I'd have to go with Sabat for Cell and Boo Arcs.

LittleKuriboh (Freeza- TFS Abridged): Even though this isn't an official series, he really gave Freeza that regal midget a**hole sound, which is perfect for his character.

Chris Rager (FUNI Mr. Satan): No comparison. I loved him as Mr. Satan.

Least Favorites:

Sean Schemmel (FUNI Goku): He did better in Kai, but he still doesn't portray Goku's personality correctly. Goku's not heroic or eloquent, he's fun-loving and dumb. The "ally to good" speech was epic, but it's not Goku. His voice isn't a bad fit, it's just the way he speaks while he voices Goku is completely wrong.
But regardless, Schemmel doesn't hold a candle to "bad casting choice" when it comes to who-ever the heck voiced Goku in the Big Green dub.

Stephanie Nadolny (FUNI Young Goku/Gohan): I hated her chain smoking voice. It was terrible. At least Colleen Clinkenbeard made KAI Gohan sound like a regular little kid.

I'd just like to point out that I think Goku was more 'American-ized' in our versions of DBZ. You're right, his original character is not some 'super-hero', but I think Schemmel does a good job for Goku. I don't mean to be biased either, I am not a Goku fanboy by any means.

I agree, and sometimes the actual voice actors aren't to blame for a bad script or "out-of-character" lines, it's the script writer or the line producer.

But Schemmel could've made him a bit more "hick-like"... I don't see the problem as long as the flaps would've matched up. ("Flaps" is the official showbiz lingo for "mouth movements" of animated characters).

LEAST FAVORITE: Ocean dub Vegeta. It is the equivalent of fingers on a chalkboard. AHHHHH!!!!

Brian Drummond as Vegeta, correct? He sounded so irritating.
