I thought Maxey did remarkably well and I have every confidence she will own this version of Al, making it her own, just like Aaron did with his version of Al.
I love her voice; she's perfect for Al.
Nice Interview. |
And that wasn't just any bowl that was the "Sacred Bowl of Aaron Dismuke" from the first series, and yes, that is what they dubbed the bowl as, as stated by Mike McFarlan in the commentary for episode 19 of the first series, I heard they never washed it in a dishwasher, I think they washed it by hand, they were afraid the shape would change and then it wouldn't sound right.

There was also the story about them temporarily losing it, which was apparently scary because they weren't sure if they could find another one like it.

Maxey's turn as Al isn't her best boy role to date (maybe it's the bowl that makes the difference?), but that's comparing it to two of last year's best dub performances. It's good enough for the purpose here and I doubt I'll notice the difference anymore after a couple more episodes.

Wow, I'm actually happily impressed that people aren't completely ripping on her. I'm used to people being hardcore "stick to the original stuff" fans who already have a bunch of problems with any English dub.
Anyway, to the point. I think Maxey did a great job. I think that the concerns everyone has are valid. I mean, I agree that on the inside, I will miss Al's voice, but she shouldn't be held back by the need to mimic Aaron. Of course, there's not a lot we can say right now. We've only seen one episode, and she didn't have too many lines. I agree that as the series progresses, we'll probably see her finding her own way of doing things. Overall, I commend her and think that she'll do a great job as Al.

i think this is to early for someone to say anything about her. give her 2 more episode and then judge.

I eventually got used to her voice, and I think that she has dramatically improved it since then .
