mmm...YUKI AUDITON!
wohoo!
well, to be honest ,this range of choices for yuki is a little bit better then Mikuru,
if i have to pick on, i would pick no.03, because its the one with the less inflection between words, meaning its the most consistent tone throughout.
its better then the others because you can still hear the little jumps of difference tones, that breaks the illusion of Yuki's mechanical speech.

that's pretty much the way I went, but I still think they all sucked, though I find it hard to think of an english equivalent in the first place.onizuka-gto wrote: if i have to pick on, i would pick no.03, because its the one with the less inflection between words, meaning its the most consistent tone throughout.

(and they couldn't pay me to post their video up on anything, it sucks more than the voice actors)

I disagree with completely imitating the voice tone of the original anime. When you speak in Japaneses, the tone feels different in contrast from English. Haruhi's voice can easily be transfered into English because of her lower pitch. But Mikuru's voice seems a bit too high in all the auditions for English; and something is just wrong with Yuki's speaking pattern. In Yuki, the 3rd one is the best but because of the voice but the way the doesn't flow the way you would imagine Yuki's voice to be. Her voice should flow with the same amount of strain on each word and syllable. Notice when she says "Haruhi Suzumiya and I are not *short pause* ordinary humans." Straining words and pausing is something used to emphasis and drive your meaning more powerfully. As an alien that usually transfers information by non verbal and physical means, I think that she should make her English seem a little lifeless or lack of emotion. Also when she says "not" she emphasizes the "t" sound, that should be fixed up.

Bandai isn't doing the dub... just the distribution. It has not yet been revealed who's actually doing the adaptation.
Also, I think we are collectively spoiled by the original Japanese. Unless the dub is really bad (and these audition clips are probably a bad indication, IMHO) I tend to prefer whichever I hear first. That is, if I hear a decent dub version before the original Japanese, I'm a lot more likely to find it acceptable or maybe even prefer it.
Give it a chance, is what I'm saying. The fact that they are having polls and seem to be cooperating/interacting with the fanbase means that care, and they didn't change Haruhi's name in the latest audition clip which is also a good sign.
I voted for #3, BTW.

Very true, I heard the Hellsing dub before I heard the original Japanese. I thought it was well done, except for Sir Integra's voice. I hate her though, so it didn't matter who voiced her.Smidge204 wrote:That is, if I hear a decent dub version before the original Japanese, I'm a lot more likely to find it acceptable or maybe even prefer it.

The voices for Yuki totally remind me of the adjuctant in Starcraft.
But you know who I think has the best voice?
Microsoft's Text to Speech program! It's perfect!
