Save The Voice Actors! (PC branch)

[EmeraldSky]

If you watched the special yesterday and were appalled by the new voices, this is the place where we, the fans, can fight back against the awful new dub!

--Our Mission:

The voice actors we've had since Day 1 are being replaced with voices that just plain do not suit the characters! We, the fans, need to contact PUSA in any way we know how. This club is committed to doing anything in our power to Save Our Voice Actors.

To learn more, you can visit the BMG branch here, the Serebii branch here, and the DeviantArt branch here: http://savepokedubclub.deviantart.com/

We do have a few ground rules here:

--If you don't support the campaign, do not post.
--All forum rules apply
--No SPAM
--NO bashing.

To join, just post here saying you support us or that you've contacted PUSA somehow (i.e. written a letter/e-mail, signed a petition, folded 1,000 cranes, etc.)

I would like to join! The voices were horrible! Bring back Veronica Taylor!

[EmeraldSky]

All right, welcome aboard! ::updates the list::

Spread the word and help make this as successful as the BMG branch!

[Zelos]

Wow..I caught a couple minutes of the Pokemon special I thought they were absolutely horrible. Ash was too high-pitched, Brock was too deep, and they just sounded all wrong. I thought I should come in here and support the 'cause.' XD

<3

[EmeraldSky]

All right! Welcome! ::updates list::

A question: If you wanted to participate in an SOVA fandub, what part would you want to play?

[Katsu Koneko]

May I join? We need to stand up to PUSA and get our VA's back!

@EmeraldSky - On Deviant Art I have made a Club for Save the Voice Actors yesterday, can you please add this link to your top post so they can also join it?

[EmeraldSky]

Sure thing! ::updates list::

::adds your link too::

[Chuchino]

*blinks* They.. changed Ash's voice? o_____o;; I haven't heard it (mostly because I don't keep up with the TV show) but that's a disturbing thought. I GREW UP WITH VERONICA TAYLOR, DARNIT!!!

I'd like to join, please =3

[EmeraldSky]

All right, welcome aboard!

and for your viewing pleasure, a "commercial" for our cause:

I'll join since I truly want P-USA to rehire the right actors. Seriously, we still got 4kids VAs. Professor Oak has Pryce's, Ash has that kid from the Lugia saga and I'm pretty sure I've heard May's before...
I understand if they want to recast and hire a cast we've never heard before but what they did for the special was insanely, ridiculously sickening. It proves they were just too darn lazy to do it
SOVA!
cough-I like the way they did May though-cough

[EmeraldSky]

All right, welcome!

I'm in the process of making my own "commercial" for our cause....

[Agent9]

May sounds to unnatural for a 10 year old girl. Her voice sounds like an old woman.

Ash was, bleh.

Brock sounded like he was under something. Especially when he was talking about Officer Jenny.

Max was the same as with Oak.

The voices are horrible.

They killed Meowth's voice too.

[Katsu Koneko]

I made an Ash SOVA Banner.

[EmeraldSky]

I finished the "commercial" and I'm uploading it now.

UPDATE: Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFLqzxbU_mE

[Agent9]

Valiant, I must say. My friends and I are considering a petition. Are we obliged to do that? Then we'll send to Pokemon USA and see what they'll do. In the video you misspelled appreciate btw ^_^

[EmeraldSky]

A petition would be great! (I'll update your supporter status...)

UPDATE: This just in!

Maddie and Veronica have told us that CN will be picking up Pokemon...but we need to tell the CN big wigs what they're in for!

Maddie's message:

whoa!!!!! THIS IS BIG!!!!! AND IT's HAPPENING NOW!!!

My own sources are telling me that right now TODAY!!!!...., Negotiations between CN and PUSA are underway.

That means there is no time to lose!

Please, if the old cast means anything to you write to these e-mail addresses PRONTO!
I am convinced if the two guys below are flooded with e-mail from fans who want the old cast back that the impossible can happen and the old cast will be restored!!

Contact Mark.Norman@turner.com and Bob.Higgins@turner.com immediately.

No really stop reading the forums and do it now!

Veronica's message:

At this moment Cartoon Network is talking with Pokemon USA and Nintendo about negotiating a deal for next season. Whether they know that the show they potentially acquire is a very badly done 'fake' is unknown. We need as many people as possible to flood them with emails letting them know that the 'special' we all saw on Saturday was beyond unacceptable. The actors, other than being lackluster and unable to fit the flap, lacked any emotion or character. The script was amateurish and flat. There was no direction. The Pokemon themselves all sounded incredibly different from the original show and video games. It was more violent than any other Pokemon episode has ever been. It was in no way up to the standards which have been set over the past eight years by 4kids, Nintendo and the WB. Are we all expected to simply sit by as Pokemon USA lies to everyone, saying the show will be "exactly the same", even though they have replaced every single element? We have now seen, through the fiasco which was the 10th anniversary special, that this is far from the truth. Please send emails immediately to the two executives at Turner Network (below) and warn them before they make a mistake they will certainly regret for a very long time. Bring Pokemon back to 4kids before it's too late.
Thank you in advance!
Sincerely,
Veronica Taylor

You heard the VA's, do it now!

[Haruka]

I'm a strong supporter of the old voice actors. I parcipate in the SOVA which orginally made by Pie in BMGf, and also created a LJ Community which has been approved by Pie and the LJ Community can be found on the SOVA website.

Now, can I join the campaign?

[EmeraldSky]

Sure thing! ::updates::

A branch has opened on Serebii!

[Haruka]

This is a sample letter. Use this as a reference, but DO NOT COPY MY LETTER... They won't listen if they get the same copies of the letter.

[Kyoko]

May I join? I totally loved the old voice actors and they did such an excellent job, so I'm a supporter^^

[EmeraldSky]

Sure! Welcome aboard! ::updates::

[Kyoko]

Thanx^^ I'd really like the voice actors back, they actually sounded like the actual age they were playing and the new episode sucked and was nothing ilke the old pokemon episodes ;;. I was terrifired by Ash's voice, i can't see how I'll be able to sit and listen to that for a half an huor and May's vice was unsettling (as was the rest XP)

[EmeraldSky]

Well, guys...I got to meet Meowth's VA today!

You heard me right, Maddie and Veronica are on Serebii!

Since it was part of a Q&A session, I asked the following:

1. Do you have any memorable outakes/bloopers? What happened?
2. How do you get "into character" as Meowth?
3. Of all the international Meowths you've heard, which is your favorite?

[Agent9]

1,000 votes, been working since I last posted.

[Haruka]

1000 votes or 1000 signatures? I still don't get what you are talking about..

Anyways, I sent the email to CN just a few hours ago...
