He speaks enough throughout that he won't be missed. He has at least two stand-out moments for himself.
True. From what I do remember is that it was very little. But hopefully it's enough so we can get a good feel for him.

The Brook contest is on FB right? So I won't be able to actually enter, but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for John Burgmeier. From my recollection, I can't even remember any important named characters he's voiced in OP, then again, it's been awhile since I've seen the very beginning of the dub. But to those who still don't think so, see the first episode of Shiki (Seishin) and Fruits Basket (Shigure)…Shiki is what cemented it for me.

if john can sing I completely agree with you and the only character I remember him playing was lieutenant full body back in baratie
Ah, that's right, Fullbody! Can't believe I forgot about him. Despite that, I'm still up for John playing Brook. At this point, the popular (and plausible) ones I've seen have at least played some minor characters. Jerry Jewel played Merry (Syrup Village arc), Vic Mignogna played Nezumi (Arlong arc), and John B. played Fullbody (Baratie arc). We all know Jerry and Vic can sing, but no matter what, I still feel their voices may make Brook sound too young (even if they go for deeper, serious voices). Jerry Jewel played Natsuno in Shiki, and just by comparison, he still feels too young. Vic playing a character seriously makes me think that he might slip into Edward Elric while voicing Brook…which would be awkward. John B.'s Seishin (serious) and Shigure (playful and perverted) would make the perfect combination 'cause they still have this hint of "experience and age" behind it. Or hell, Funimation could pull the rug from under us and pick people we might not have considered like: Micha Solusod (Soul from Soul Eater) or the guy who voices Yuji from Baka and Test (sorry, his name escapes me). But gong back to the singing topic for John B., I feel he could pull it off. I mean, quite a few VAs I didn't even know could sing did great jobs in Nerima Daikon Brothers. So I wouldn't be surprised if John B. or the other VAs I mentioned could pull off singing.

Or Tienshinhan for that matter? XD Plus, it'd be cool having another "Z-fighter" on the boat imo. ^^

true and I also feel like john is such a underrated VA compared to other funi talent some might be surprised how well he would be as brook if he gets the part
Hahaha, just watch, it'll be someone so obscure/underrated we'll all have to use Google to figure out who he is. xD
Haaaa, don't facebook, can't guess. It's probably better than I can't though, because I don't want to get my hopes up. Out of those I know, I am kind of pulling for John Burgmeier as well, however I'd really like for a lesser known person to do it so there isn't too much comparing with other works. I love hearing a voice that doesn't sound familiar with things. Even when I end up learning that it was someone I'd known that was just doing a really good job.
Whatever the case, I'm still really excited to find out who it is and I CAN'T WAIT!
Agreed, I hope whoever's chosen keeps Brook's signature laugh, it'd be awkward to hear him laugh without saying Yohoho.
I still think there's a slim possibility that Chris Bevins could be Brook, but that maybe difficult since he's Lafitte.
chris bevins would not suit brook.
You know who would suit Brook? Whoever Oda gave the okay on.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Man. I really hope we don't have this hand up problem when the dub reaches this point.

I CANNOT WAIT. will there bbe a clip or just the name.
For all we know this could just be the day the contest closes and they'll make us wait just a bit longer to reveal who won.

The rules say the winner of the contests name will be revealed on September 10. We should know tomorrow who brook is.
I think if they would release a trailer with the anouncement ,we will all jump 10 feet in the air
Man, tomorrow is a big day for me. Kingdom Hearts HD, Apple Announcements, Sons of Anarchy Premiere, Brook announcement and hopefully trailer. Can't wait. Nice to have a definite date for something; rightstuf stops finalized dates for most One Piece stuff.

I forgot about Kingdom Hearts, I preordered that awhile ago and should be getting it tomorrow. Looking forward to playing it this weekend.
Just Pre-Ordered Strong World, I'm hyped!
me too Saiya
. november cannot get here soon enough.
So much to look forward to, with the announcement of Brook's voice actor, the release of strong world, and hopefully we get a season 6 announcement soon! Cannot wait!!
Would they anounce it on there site or on facebook, twitter etc…
Next should be Thriller Bark right? Can't wait for the announcement of that.
Yes, because the current license ends right at episode 336. The start of the next arc is 337, Thriller Bark arc.
Damn, nothing yet? lol
WOW cool Dr Indigo is
! Sean Schemmel
Oh man,oh man, oh man…
WHOA Scott McNeil is Shiki!! I knew he'd have a role in One Piece someday.
Brilliant! Sucks that I can't see the video but I'm really looking forward to Ian's portrayal!
So he did get a British accent after all.
So many great casting choices! Ian was kind of a suprise but I think he's gonna be a good fit. Cannot wait for Strong World
Ian Sinclair as Brook?!
Suddenly I feel compelled to get the Strong World DVD…..
Sounds a bit too feminine at first listen. We shall see.
That is a great choice for Brook.
OH MY GOD HE'S PERFECT!!!!
Ahem, pardon my excitement.
Whoa, didn't see that coming. Lol. It sounds perfect, can't Wait. Now I'm even more pumped for the movie. :D
Edit: @zephray have you not heard Brooks seiyuu portrayal of him? XD
At first listen I really like it. Nice choice.
Sounds a bit too feminine at first listen. We shall see.
I don't think so at all, different opinions though. But yes, hopefully this ships late October for Rightstuf peeps.
Hey can someone upload the interview clip please?
Wow at first listen I just thought it was OK. But after listening to it 3 more times it sounds perfect. Funny how not many people predicted Ian Sinclair to voice him. My hype for this movie just rose a bunch. Can't wait.
Wow man, in terms of matching the Japanese VA, he's perfect. Really great choice.
Wow, wouldn't have called that, but he sounded great in that clip!
Really need someone to upload the video for us who can't watch it. Would really like to watch that video xD
Ahh you guys are making me want to hear it even more now. Hate it when they restrict video's to just the U.S and Canada.
