sounds good for a voice and his laugh is good too.
any clips of this guy singing ever? It seems like most all voice actors can sing, but be nice to see an example.

I think he sounds great and don't worry non US viewers, I am uploading it myself and will post it here shortly (unless anyone else beats me to the punch)
EDIT: and here it is
Thankyou for the upload DPNZ!
Have listened to it three times and still think it sounds a little too feminine for Brook.
The day finally came…. /tears of joy
_The_ Scott McNeil is Shiki? Man, now I'm going to be imagining him with the Dr. Wily voice from the old Megaman cartoon.
Brook's pretty spot-on with what I imagine him with already.
It's almost exactly like the voice I read in my head when I read his dialogue!
I wake up from my nap and we find out who brook is and he sounds amazing loved it. Quick question does brook ask nami if he can see her panties in the movie because I know he does when hes introduced in the anime

Im not too sure, i dont think so, i might be wrong about that though but if he didnt then he let it slip that theyre working on dubbing season 6 because Brook asks Nami about her panties in the first episode of season 6
How did he "let it slip" exactly?
Edit: Ah right, the Luci Christian part. Pretty sure she voices the waitress in the video.
I can't remember the last thing I applauded to, but this youtube video was on of them. This Brooke voice is perfect.
Shame it'll be a while before this dude's character joins the series.
Ian Sinclair? Not bad at all! And from what I heard, I like his take on Brook. Pretty much sounds like the Japanese VA up and decided to speak English. XD
DAT BROOK!!!
DAT SW CAST!!!
SO AWESOME!!!
Scott McNeil really should do more work for funimation. He's so awesome as the first Hohenheim, I think it's like, for every makes calculations 100 voice works he does in Ocean Studios in Canada, and in english cartoons like Johnny Test/Krypto the Superdog etc (he plays Ace the Bathound, it's like they clearly wanted to do a shout out to his Silverbolt role in Beast Wars^^;; ), he plays one for Funimation. I am really really REALLY happy about the castings :).
As of this moment, I have no complaints. Sinclair pretty much hits the precise sound I was looking for, which is why I thought the vid of Duncan Brannan's Mr. 3 set to Brook was a good illustration of what I wanted. Plus, to me his voice clearly calls to mind his original physique, if you get my drift. As long as he can carry a tune, I'll be golden.
McNeil is always a pleasure to hear, and his Shiki promises to be quite enjoyable. And I'm glad Playercena gets her wish of hearing Schemmel in OP again, even if it's not quite the role she had in mind.
My god. That Brook-voice is perfect. Even though I already own the Japanese limited edition BluRay of Strong World, I now suddenly find myself wanting to get the US-release too just for that.
Has Sean done a voice in OP before? I remember thinking to myself how weird it was for him not to make an appearance. Glad to see him on there :)

Certainly, but it was during an era that shall not be mentioned in this household.
Well that made my night. Some people are complaining already but I think Ian makes a perfect Brook. Whoever said it sounded too feminine, just listen to the Japanese version when Brook's not completely serious (which I'd say for the most part he isn't in Strong World). Aside from super serious scenes, Brook usually sounds very high pitched like Usopp, so it just comes down to how well Ian can sing and how he can pull off the non-comedy stuff. But from what I see in that clip as well as the laugh? I'm totally sold!
So with Sean Schemmel doing the voice of Dr. Indigo, does that mean he'll do Caesar Clown? Seriously, though, this is an all-star cast, hopefully this sells enough copies that Toei will give us film Z down the road.
Do you guys think they can knock Sean on the head and convince him to never go back to voicing Yugioh Zexal?
He was one of the few good voices in that dub. Why do you want him to leave?
Same reason Megan Hollingshead left, because she was smart enough to realize, wow, I'm wasting away in here, though in a way, I kinda see wanting to voice there as a kind of retirement home after all the yelling he did in DB and DBZ^^;;, although he did do some DB yelling playing Paradox….but no I want him to stay 100% Funi, or at least voicing in Pokémon like he did in the Hoenn arc. Anyhoo, back on topic, well, time to mark off Brook, Shiki, and Indigo off my, One Piece characters with properly chosen dub VAs bingo book. Next up on my list, the VA who played Dalton for Kuma, Laura Bailey for Hancock, and, hmm, Kid Goku's old VA for whatever role just because I miss her :(. Hmm, did Scott McNeil and Erin Fitzgerald do any projects together?
I'm loving the cast for this movie. Ian Sinclair is perfect as Brook, and I'm hyped to hear Scott McNeil as Shiki.
HOLY SHIZNAT ON A CHILI DOG!
Ian Sinclair is PERFECT!
I saw a few people mention him, but I'm so surprised by how fitting his voice is!
Can't believe Sean is op again!!
I like Sinclair's take a lot! :D I'm surprised and excited to see Scott McNeil in there, and it's good to see Sean Schemmel in more FUNi stuff again. Can't wait to see this!
Ian Sinclair voicing Brook is awesome he's perfeat :D
I'm looking to Scott McNeil and Sean Schmmel voicing Shiki and Dr.Indigo
Ohhh, Scott McNeil~
Boooo, Sean Shemmel.
Ian Sinclair seems like he'll do a decent job from what we've heard so far.
As excited as I was to see Brook's english VA announced, it paled compared to my glee that Scott McNeil is going to be Shiki!
Ohhh, Scott McNeil~
Boooo, Sean Shemmel.Ian Sinclair seems like he'll do a decent job from what we've heard so far.
why did you boo schemmel
It's petty, but I guess I still can't forgive him for the suffering he caused me in his DBZ days.

guessing you didn't like him as goku I thought he was great BTW well in dbz Kai anyway not so much his original performance
His brook voice will probabky be similar to the announcer guy from the Davy Back Fight arc
I personally love Sean's voice work in DBZ despite some people not liking/caring for his Goku. I'm kinda hoping he'd go for his Goku/Gonard voice for Dr. Indigo, but if memory serves right, Dr. Indigo had a very high pitched kinda voice, so we may end up getting King Kai for that role…speaking of Sean though...I really wanna rewatch Kappa Mikey now. XD
@Galaxy:

Nah, that waitress is definitely Cherami Leigh. For the most part Mike avoids having the SH VA's doing other characters. Brook asks his trademark question at least once to Nami in the final scene of the film…before being kicked in the face by Sanji.

Not quite. Brook asks Nami at the end of the movie.
I'm REALLY happy with this choice but that's mainly because before Ian Sinclair started getting major roles I got to chill with him at one of the conventions I staffed. He has a really fun personality so to hear that he's Brook made my mind explode. Of course now if I see him at a con there's a good chance I'll tell him if he screws up Bink's Sake I'll be very displeased.
I like the voice, but I'm in the minority in thinking it isn't perfect. It's too suave/feminine for me. Or maybe it's just too rounded of a voice. I don't know how to describe it.
To be fair, though, it's probably the only Straw Hat that I prefer the japanese Va to. And I haven't heard enough of Brook's voice to judge for sure. And the laugh is perfect.
Damnit, AMC cancelled The Killing. Time to go to Netflix.
pretty damn good i say. For me it was jerry jewel or vic mingona . but never thought of toriko for the part. loving it
Holy shit lots of things to take in.
1. Ian Sinclair as Brook… HOY SHIT HE NAILED THE LAUGH!!!! I am sold.
2. Scott McNeil as Shiki?! Scott McNeil back on a Funi show?!! HELL YES FOR DINOBOT/RATTRAP/WASPINATOR!!!!!! If you don't know what I'm talking about then shame on you. Long time fan of this guy's work.
3. Sean Schemmel back at Funimation, welcome home man.
4. Here's something no one mentioned. Ed Blaylock is back as Sengoku. Hell yes, even if its essentially a cameo I love this man's voice. He rarely does voice work anymore so anytime you get to hear him it's a treat. Especially since no one knows how much longer he will be around.

No one mentioned it because it wasn't a surprise. He did several Sengoku lines on the latest DVD set. He'll have even less lines in SW of course though. Love his voice as that character.

I haven't watched the newest set yet (mainly because it came from amazon yesterday). I was very happy to read that name and good to know he is still willing to do anime roles.

Now here's a voice I hate. Love him as Furher King Bradly, and my opinion may just be because I saw him in this role. But he doesn't fit as Sengoku in the slightest. He sounds sinister, but Sengoku is a noble, good fellow.
Luckily, he isn't around all that much, so I can hate him without beig reminded of t all the time.

Ugh how could I forget that….my honor has been stained.

He can sound good and noble just fine. Hell that's all he sounded like as Bradley before it was revealed that he was a villain.

he never really sounded sinister at least to me even when he was screaming out orders he was great to me difference of opinions I guess
Really excited about Strong World coming out this fall. I might treat myself to it for xmas.
I'm very excited that Ian Sinclair is Brook! He sounds pretty spot on for me. He wasn't really on my radar because I'm use to him mostly as Toriko with his deep voice.
Btw, realizing Toriko is Brook (aka muscles polar opposite of bones) :
I'm happy for Ian, especially since he's a big fan of One Piece. I think he's going to have a fun time with Brook. I have faith he'll do well. I want to know if he got the Oda approval too.
In hindsight, Ian playing Brook seems like it was always could have been a likely possibility. What I mean is, and I'm not sure if this was intentional or a coincident, I've noticed a lot of the bigger roles in Toriko have gone to voice actors that also have bigger roles in One Piece later down the line, meaning their One Piece characters already appeared at least once in the Funi dub and will appear again.
Check out the Toriko VA list:

Also something ironic, during the One Piece Marathon Scott Porter did, Ian visited while Scott was watching the Warship Island Arc, right before Laboon. Interesting…:ninja:
On Strong World cast in general, I'm also very excited for Scott McNeil and Sean.
