Vote for your favourite Mikuru!
ASOS Brigade has four recordings up for you to vote for you favourite version of Mikuru. The link is carefully hidden somewhere on the site…
In response, Zero the Penguin has updated Code-Geass.com… I wonder who those mysterious voices belong to… (Maybe you should look for the sauce?)

Thanks for reminding me why I hate dubs… The voice actors are all competent, but the translated script is bloody unnatural for an English-speaker to say that it all comes out terrible. Plus, the VAs are all trying too hard to match the Japanese intonations exactly where they should simply be trying to sound natural in English.

In my humble opinion, the main problem isn’t the VA’s themselves, but the translations. It just sounds weird for a normal English speaker to say those things in that situation.
With the two languages have absolutely little to nothing in common, they should have gone all out liberal in their translations to get the actual connotations across. IMO, connotation > denotation.
But of course, the problem then comes with stupid English speaking otaku who complain that the “meaning” was lost. Well… guys, some sacrifices have to be made in order for the characters to not sound like people whose 8th language is English.
And lastly, it does indeed sound like pr0n.

Mmm… pr0n…

I suppouse the simply should have chosen than dialogue for the “audition”, but actually a more “normal” dialogue, like when she says to kyon “it’s classified information”. But actually, i think they are doing a pretty good campaign, making us “choose” the VA. That’s why they keep the voices a secret, i think. Unless they are actually the same actress, or the poll is false :p

Yah, on one hand, people complain when the script is Americanised. Then people complain when it isn’t. Guess what? Nobody really cares about the dub, if you go by the official poll. I pity these VAs.
Btw, the Code Geass Orange seiyuu auditions are quite good. While voice 1 has a stoic feel, voice 2 has a moe attitude, voice 3 is for the fags and voice 4 is manly emo.
