I was curious as to why she stopped voicing him. She did a fantastic job with Kid Goku and Kid Gohan but in DBZ Kai she didn't voice him. The change in voice actors is one of the reasons I don't watch Kai. |

It's probably so Gohan would actually sound 4/5. I liked Nadoly's voice for Gohan, but it was in no way realistic or representative of his age. |

I recall her saying in some sort of interview once that they didn't even bother asking her to reprise her role, while Fumination on the other hand said she was just too busy. But how would they know that for sure if they hadn't contacted her? Was it hard for her to record on time in the past? Maybe they didn't think she was capable of voicing Gohan with a more natural-sounding voice, or maybe she was a hassle to work with. Can't say for sure.

Cuz she was f**kin annoying! Her "acting" is ugh... Raspy voice with atrocious capability of getting under the skin of the character she plays. Talk abt subtlety & nuances.... I was glad she never made a comeback tbh. Either way, its not as if Imma hardcore dub hater or such I genuinely appreciate good dubs with quality output as Eng Dubs for FMAB, DN, Inuyasha etc Steph simply grates on my nerves with her acting. To think she could "transform" cute, innocent & likable charming boys like Gohan & GT Goku into annoying, obnoxious, utterly despicable characters...wow! |

I heard a rumor she wanted too much money, which is why they didn't ask for her to come back. He lived in Louisianna and commuted to Dallas every week to record her lines, and instead of moving closer to Dallas, she demanded a higher salary. They dropped her as a result, and hired Clinkenbeard who not only was able to make Gohan more believable, but lived nearby. Edited by Ketchup Revenge, Jun 5 2016, 02:26 AM.

I always thought Kid Gohan was an annoying character to begin with. But what about the new voice actor? |

Mutual thoughts pal. Always felt Kid Gohan to be annoying pest who gives impression of "worthless son of an awesome Dad". His constant cryin, complaining & utterly useless presence in battles against Saibaman & Nappa made me hate the character even more Though gotta say he redeemed himself to great extent in Namek/Frieza Arc & suprisingly, actually admired the direction of his character (College student~social issues~Great Saiyaman~romance~EoZ Fatherhood) once he grew up The new voice actor is considerably "tolerable". But I'd say no one nailed Kid Gohan's character except Nozawa. She's a legend for a reason & though age may have took its toll on her performance in Kai, she'll still.give any voice actor/actress a run for their money |

Yeah I'm sure most of us can agree that Nozawa does a spectacular job. |

Oh no! The 5 year old kid is afraid of fighting monsters and 2 guys that can squash him like a grape. Oh the agony!!! -_- Yeah but on topic with Nadoly, I think she's best as Kid Goku. She just has that certain innocence and naievity that Goku has. Edited by breaker335, Jun 6 2016, 01:55 AM.

I actually really like Nadolny. Sure, her acting wasn't the best when she was first starting out, but she showed improvement as the series went on and in the video games. I realize her voice is too deep for a 5-year-old, but that doesn't bother me too much. I thought she had a certain charm to her voice that Colleen didn't quite capture, although Colleen definitely has a more natural-fitting voice for Gohan during the Saiyan and Namek arcs. By the time of the Cell Games, I can buy Gohan's voice being as deep as it was when Nadolny voiced him. (at least in the video games; she's a bit too raspy in the anime, although again, this was when she was still fairly inexperienced) I do appreciate Colleen lowering her voice as Gohan aged, however. In regards to Kid Goku, I will always prefer Nadolny. She brought a great sense of playfulness and naievity to the role that I don't think Colleen matched. Granted, Colleen hasn't really had much time to voice Kid Goku, so I won't criticize her performance too much. Edited by GreatSaiyanman, Jun 6 2016, 05:22 AM.

Idk, but Gohans new voice was one of the reasons I didn't watch Kai. His Kai voice sounded more like a normal little kid no doubt, but it just bothered the hell out of me. Stephanie's Gohan will always be my preferred version. |

While Colleen is the best Gohan to me by miles I still prefer Nadolny as Kid Goku. |

I think I might notice the problem. I've been watching a few clips of Kai and there's almost no feeling in the voices at times. Kai Dub may be closer to the original script and sometimes the voices might better match the characters, but I've noticed a lot of times that they don't have the same amount of emotion put or character put into it. You can tell when Funimation when they worked on the earlier dub had fun. Sometimes it was for the best, sometimes it was for the worst, but you can tell they had a lot of fun and were willing to take a few risks here and there. Kai feels like something where they have this tendency not to deviate from the material at hand, they feel that they have to be right there and thus sometimes you get voice actors that feel like they're merely reading a script and not getting into character. Say all you want about Linda Young's Freeza, but you know what her Freeza wasn't? Boring. Now in this case I have nothing against Chris Ayres because he also did an excellent job. You can tell Linda Young got into the character and put emphasis into him. It wasn't the Freeza from the manga or original Japanese, but it was an entire character that she got into. You get people like No. 19 who is giving a very robotic tone in the original Funimation Dub. It was a unique touch that made you really believe he was a robot. Kai is given just a plain, high pitched voice. It sounds like Majin Boo at times I wonder if it was the same person. Is it closer to the original Japanese? Maybe, I don't know. is it as unique? Not one bit. Even people like Dameon Clarke who gave the original English Cell so much oomph, doesn't sound nearly as into his character as he did before. And as much as some people may not like it, Bruce Faulconer's score really enhanced some of the scenes in the series. That music along with the great amount of effort the voice actors put in, greatly enhanced scenes. Let's take a look at an example, if we are talking Gohan, let's take his legendary SSj2 transformation. In the original Japanese, you have Nozawa's great performance along with the legendary soundtrack Unmei No Hi ~ Tamashii Tai Tamashii by Hironobu Kageyama. I don't even need to explain why this is damn spectacular. The voice acting, the music, the lyrics, this has all been built up to arguably one, if not the greatest scene in the entire series. In the original Funimation, Nadolny is also giving a fine, emotional performance for Gohan and Bruce's score, while completely different in tone, is still building up on that emotion. The problem here is that Gohan start's freaking doing a monologue. But even in the next episode where they continue the transformation, the music he gives really enhances the emotion, even as a synthesizer like style. Then you get Gohan in Kai. There's no music, barley any sound. There's nothing to build up the scene. At best there's this very light tone and then Gohan screams like a banshee. Finally some real music comes up but let's be honest, it ain't no Faulconer and it sure as hell ain't no Hironobu Kageyama. I mean it's a shame when Yamamoto got caught with all that infringement because had he still been on, we probably would have had some excellent music to go along with the series. But instead we get the bare basics and they just can't match with the performances done in the past. |

Generally because Nadolny wasn't a proper fit. Gohan shouldn't sound like a raspy teenager when he's 4 years old. Clinkenbeard is a good fit for Gohan, I feel.
