I was really surprised @ how emotive they can be standing one spot and holding up their scripts with one hand! LOL@ Franky's flamboyant clothing style!XDD
It's so weird watching this….

-
Very nice to see actors voicing the characters. Oh, that white-haired guy voiced Franky?
-
Dayumm.. I'm suprised it took us this long to even notice this video. Unless it got posted on some other end of the forum I wasn't looking at.
-
Well, yeah! And he also did Bon Kurei and Django!
He actually sort of dresses like Franky… -
That's an extra on movie 9 dvd, Crossbones @ KF ripped it a while ago.
As a friend of mine said, 'it's like Franky is dubbing the white-haired guy" -
The hell?!!
-
I want more of these.
Mainly for the villains. :[
-
The description had Brook in it…I was expecting to see him.
-
Watching this is so surreal. Hearing these distinct character voices that we've grown accustomed to coming from the mouths of real people feels quite odd.
-
It's just strange to hear it from Luffy. I'd never know she did Luffy unless she opened her mouth.
-
the one who did Chopper also strange….I mean it's so childish voice...
-
lovin this clip
-

Ikue Otani is known for voicing "cute/small" characters. IE; Pikachu, Data(The monkey from Megaman Legends), Gash, Chopper. I love her facial expressions when she voices the "emotional Chopper" part . I can tell she really loves getting into character.
-
It's funny how Ikue's natural voice is pretty much like that. I think Kazuya Nakai is the one who sounds most distinct from his real self, he does a much deeper, manly voice for Zoro.
-
that's liek the weirdest thing i've seen today. when the voice actors talked, my brain immediately glued their characters face and body over theirs o.o!
-
This was great! Seeing the real people was indeed strange, but fun ^^
-
It must be horrible having to go through life sounding like Pikachu…

But I'm sure the money hats she's getting are quite worth it.
-
I can't believe some of the stuff you have to be able to do to be a good voice over actor/actress.
Jeez, If only I had more voice control… -
It's always cool to watch a voice actor perform a voice. They're body language is always fun to watch. It's interesting, and you see a lot of Disney VA's do it as well.

Yeah. Not only that, but in addition with the space they have to move around, I think its cool that they all record in the same room together. It seems like theres a good chemistry of playing off one another.
-
Yeah. Voice actors/actresses can do that to you.
Just go to IMDB, look up Tara Strong, and look at all the voices.
You'll swear, your life will feel like a lie!

In Japan, I'd imagine it makes like every other guy sport a boner or something. Cuteness=Hawtness in Japan, right?
-
SWEET! Thanks for the link – always fun to see the VAs in action -- and I really do mean "in action".
Look at that choreography. I mean, I always assumed, based on what I'd seen of other VA work (mostly American) that the VAs just did one part at a time, not always with the others around, and then the editors spliced them together to make it seem like a conversation -- but seeing the OP VAs all moving back and forth between mikes and chairs as often as they do without banging into each other -- that's as impressive as any of the voice work.
I wonder how long it takes to sort that all out, or if, after so many years of performing together, it's just like clockwork now and they don't even give it a second thought -- they just insinctively know who is going to walk to which chair or or mike or etc.
It's always cool to watch a voice actor perform a voice. They're body language is always fun to watch.
I think the body language adds a lot to the performance. I forget who said it, but I remember a while back, someone saying that the one thing Sanji's Funi VA really needed to do was talk through his teeth more often, because whenever Sanji has a cigarette in his mouth, he would be doing something similar to keep the cigarette from falling out.
And didn't Luffy's VA recently say in an SBS that she "strives for accuracy" in the scenes where Luffy is picking his nose or stuffing his face? Too bad there weren't any in this segment … on second thought, maybe it's best that we can't see that ...
:ninja:I think its cool that they all record in the same room together. It seems like theres a good chemistry of playing off one another.
Totally. That's probably why they all record together, instead of individually – so that they can play off each other, and react to each other in person as well as on the screen.
The other thing I thought was fun was how most of them, subconsciously or not, have got clothing, hairstyles or mannerisms that hint at who they voice. Without knowing who was who ahead of time, I pegged about half of them accurately as they walked through the door. "Franky" is the obvious one in this regard, but look at that clashing mix of stripes and patterns that is so "Usopp"; or the sharp but relaxed blazer that "Sanji" is wearing; or the green hooded pullover that "Zoro" is wearing. "Robin" has a white shirt that's somewhat similar to one we've seen her wear before (but never with a shirt under it). The other three, I couldn't guess on looks alone.

American VA's work ADR style – one person in a both, alone. Japanese VAs tend to record ensemble style.
Also, it's a children's comic from Japan.
Why are you comparing it to cultural engravings and burritos.

@Ao:

And we wonder why American VA's are typically nowhere near as good as Japanese.
This, I think, is especially true for dubbing where American VA's, however professional they may or may not be, are already having to adapt their voices to a animation of a different culture. Ensemble style just adds a certain dynamic.
Granted, you could argue that it takes more talent to record ADR style considering you don't have others to immediately work off of…hmmmm....
-
^True enough, but half the time, they do HEAR the other actor's recorded voice depending on what scene they're doing, but yeah…it's definitely gotta be easier to develop chemistry with a living being right next to you than a disembodied voice.
-
OMG Franky = Franky ??
-
I love how they pop up from the background to do their own bits. Like when Usopp, Zoro and Franky just go "Ehh?" and then jump back behind everyone.
-
i wish i had the excuse that i was franky's voice actor so i could dress like him every day
-

Funny thing is that I usually imagined Voice Actors/Actresses to be super ugly and only have cool voices, kinda like radio DJs.
Thankfully, neither one is true
. -
In Japan, many young female VAs do host radio shows and are almost Teen-Idol kind of status. If you are cute and have a cute voice, you can gain a pretty large nerd-following and make a decent amount of cash from the legion of geeks who want in your pants.
-
Aww, this video was great. Can you find any more like that?
-
umm…
or
or even!!!
-
Haha. Look at Kappei's T-shirt in the 3rd video! Isn't that a Doskoi Panda brand?
-
Yeah i saw those, i meant when they make the episodes. Thanks though.
