I know perona and moria are pretty good from watching Fairy Tail
Edit: Interesting to see that the person playing Kumacy is also playing kizaru.

Pretty awesome that chris Guerrero is playing moria. cant believe dr gero from TFS is in one piece and andrew Chandler back as well pretty cool
TFS as in team four star?
Correct! He also plays Cooler. That is pretty neat to see him get an "official" gig!
@Zek:

i had no idea them guy were big shot VAs, this is awesome
Iirc, he DID do narration for a Toriko trailer. I was all, "Wait, is that GeneralIvan's Maxwell from TFS Hellsing?!". Lucky sonuvagun! Getting to play a Warlord in OP…that's just awesome.
me and theresea are happy that the voices are picked for season 6. cannot wait to hear moria.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Back up. Chris Guerrero? You mean, Cooler is going to play Moria?
Deep-throated Cooler will play the obnoxiously pitched Moria? That, is going to be an interesting role. But hey, if he can make Moria not as annoying to listen to, props to him.
Even though he's only used his deep voice for most, if not all, of his roles, we shouldn't assume he can't go high pitch. I'm sure it'll be fun for him to play someone like Moria. XD

Here is a sample of some of his work
Not all the voices here sound too deep.

Too big a range to judge.
I swear, the only thing I DO own w/ his voicework is OP (I've been wanting to get Tenchi: War on Geminar and Zombie for a long time). XD Didn't know he was that random marine on the sea train…really good for him to play someone like that, then get to play Moria. And yeah, his range is pretty good though I think his "normal" voice sounds a tad too generic. But I feel that monster game character could be kinda what he'll go for w/ Moria...just a little higher...maybe. ^^; Man, would it be fun to play any named character in OP, I'm jealous! Wonder if anyone else in TFS might end up getting a role or something. XD

i hope they do because them guys are awesome and closely sound like the real VAs of DBZ
That's great to hear! I just hope Funimation decided to retain Moria's high pitched voice. I'm all for FUNi taking occasional liberties like they did with Franky, but I'd rather they try to be faithful to this one. Gotta have that crazy kishishi, yo.
GeneralIvan being cast as Moria is not something that I expected at all. I still remember the time when he'd regularly post fandubs of internet comics in his spare time. The fact that he has managed to get work as an official voice actor for FUNimation is pretty great. Kudos to him. I'm certain that he'll be able to pull off that high pitched "kishishi" just fine.
I can't say I know too much about the rest of the cast though, aside from Jamie Marchi whom I can already picture playing Cindry pretty well with a deadpan version of her normal voice. And we have yet to actually hear Ray Hurd as Kizaru but it's not like Kumashi is that much of a tricky character to voice in the first place. The only thing that they left out of the list that I would've liked to see is Kuma's VA, so I guess we'll still have to wait for that particular set to come out before we can hear him for the first time.

The kishishishi needs to be high-pitched, but I wouldn't mind if the alter his voice tone a bit. He was kinda….annoying in the Japanese version.
idk if it was already known but:
@Amazon:

- One Piece in the Booth: with Stephanie Young
- Textless Opening Song - Jungle P

The second voice clip sounds similar to the tone of Moria. He might just go with an alteration of that one.

COOL COMMENTARIES
cannot wait to see Stephanie in the boot .
Not sure if this is worth bringing up at this point, but I suppose I might as well:
So it seems that Hogback will have his laugh in the dub, but that shouldn't be too much of a surprise (Funimation seems to have kept all the character laughs intact since season 4 began). Also, based on Felecia Angelle's twitter response to the cast announcements…
…Perona's will probably be intact as well, so I assume Moria's will also have his. Again, this is probably obvious information at this point, just thought I should point it out...
Moria will have his laugh. I looked through his tumblr that you can find on his official ANN profile and someone congratulated him on getting the role, to which he responded with "kiishiishii"
me and theresa are so happy that they keep the laughs now.
Personally, I think people overrate the over-enunciated laughs. It is possible, after all, to get them to retain their distinctive sounds without sacrificing a natural sound to them. I would prefer a natural sound, especially for the more serious arcs. You lose something when you inject something ridiculous into a blatantly serious scene and vice versa. Examples of how to do it well would be Jonathan Brooks' Foxy, or Cole Brown's Blackbeard (in season five). So it's certainly doable.
I don't care either way if they include the laughs or not, to an extent. For example, I had no problem with them giving Arlong a normal laugh when they dubbed that arc, not only because I was watching it for the first time and didn't even know about the distinct laughs, but also because it sounded good regardless. I also hold this same opinion for some of the more normal sounding laughs, like with Crocodile. However, later instances in the series (with Thriller Bark being a pretty good example) give new crazier characters even crazier laughs, so much so that it's kind of hard to completely ignore it when trying to adapt it into English if you ask me. It would be kind of like losing an accent of their personality.
I think the only exception to this that I have is Whitebeard. He has a pretty unnatural laugh, but with his dub voice it just sounds better when he has a standard old man cackle. He's also not a very bizarre-looking character like Moria for instance, so it doesn't feel too weird to just gloss over it. And plus the fact that he has the "gurarararara" laugh is something that would be completely lost in translation anyway.

I'm not sure how much of a problem that is; I can't think of an instant where any laugh felt like it ruined a more serious scene. Besides, usually the particularly over-the-top laughs go to the more bizarre characters anyway. I wouldn't say I personally care about the specific laughs to the extent that other people do (with a couple exceptions) but they seem to be an aspect of the show that fans enjoy (and expect), so I see no reason why they wouldn't keep them intact whenever possible.
I really enjoyed Guerrero's role as The One Guy Who Isn't Scared and Doesn't Know Sanji. Brilliant choices.
Not only that, but dude is versatile! Most of his voices I can tell are him, there's a certain smooth smokiness to them, but a couple of those are pretty tricky.
Chris Guerreo has been at Funi for a while. I've seen his work as the narrator on Toriko. Never has a narrator described food in a more appetizing way. I also heard him in a Toriko commentary too. Though he does a deep voice in some of his work, his real voice is actually fairly high, so I think he'll be able to pull off Moria.
On another note, I'm not sure if anyone else notice, but according to ANN, Ray Hurd who plays Kumacy is also apparently playing Kizaru as well.

Here, here! I'm really getting anxious for Marineford, myself. Speaking of which, I just want to say that every time I see the current opening, it just whets my appetite more and more for the day Luffy and Akainu finally face off.

On an unrelated note: I found out that John Swasey works in the same office building as I do, and I plan on asking him if he's dubbed any Crocodile lately. Hopefully he gives me a clear answer. (not likely with contracts and rights and whatnot) Will keep you guys posted!
