Whose Sick of Ash's New Voice?
 
It started to appear in the Hoenn, his voice realy began to mature, which in this case, is annoying. It changed "My name is Ash" to *Lower Pitch* "Hi, my name is Ash! GLAD TO MEET YOU". In my opinion, his new voice chafed in seconds, his voice in the early series was A LOT better. Your opinions?

I love Sarah Natochenny's Ash ["New" voice] much more than Veronica Taylor's Ash ["Old" voice]. It sounds so different that it's actually kind of sexy to be honest unlike Ash's high pitch girly voice that annoyed me to no end. I also think it fits his more mature attitude better than how Taylor's Ash would've sounded.

Napalm August 8th, 2009 5:56 PM

You do have a point there.

Noibat August 8th, 2009 6:05 PM

Ash? Mature!? *pratfalls* xD I like the older voice. the new voice sounds like he's straining to hit puberty.

Wings Don't Cry August 8th, 2009 6:36 PM

I didn't find too many problems with it but I had trouble with May, they changed her voice halfway through Hoenn and I took forever to get used to it, then they changed it again when she was in Sinnoh.

jon50005 August 8th, 2009 6:39 PM

i like ash new voice is sounds why better then the old one

High Pitched Ash = Annoying
Low Pitched Ash = Annoying

xD Ash generally annoys me now =D

Charchic.

Meh ash's old voice was better to me though still wasn't good. I can tolerate ash, but still he's pretty annoying.

mew² August 9th, 2009 1:22 AM

I was never really fond of Ash's voice period. It is something I didn't want to hear when I had a headache, I'll be honest with you there.

BUG♥CATCHER★BREEZE August 9th, 2009 9:02 AM

I don't particularly care either way. Neither voice is brilliant. If I find any television character's voice annoying, I put the television on mute and turn on subtitles...

Halcyon August 9th, 2009 6:05 PM

His Japanese voice is infinite better than his dub voices. xD

Gary, the Magic Fairy August 9th, 2009 7:17 PM

No offense to any of her fans, but Sarah Natochenny is not a very good VA for male characters. I still don't see how people think this sounds "mature". It sounds forced, and my throat hurts just listening to it. I still think Craig Blair would've been a better choice. His voice is more different from Veronica Taylor's, but at least it might sound like a natural human voice. In my opinion, Sarah Natochenny is the worst of the current VAs.

And no, I'm not only saying this because I got used to his old voice. Ash was definitely not Veronica Taylor's best work. :\

Taemin August 9th, 2009 7:55 PM

I loved Veronica Taylor's Ash, but I've gotten used to Sarah's over time.. however, I agree with Kenji that it sounds forced. Better now then what it used to be, but still forced.. awkward, in a way. Veronica's was more natural, and she felt the character better then Sarah seems to.. Then again, Sarah is only 21, and hasn't been acting, or voice acting for too long.

ShinjisLover August 9th, 2009 8:03 PM

I kinda like his new voice. I didn't really like his Veronica Taylor voice, though. He sounded like a crackhead or something.

Still, Rika Matsumoto, obviously, makes the best Satoshi. XD

Personally, I think Wendee Lee would've been a better choice for the voice of Ash.

Ponyta August 9th, 2009 8:17 PM

Ash's new voice sounds gruff to me. If they decide to change it again, I hope they make a better decision

Niprop August 9th, 2009 8:26 PM

Beh? I never noticed it until very late into the Advance generation (and I do mean VERY late), but since then, it's one of the things that keeps me from watching the majority of the newer episodes.

IceSage August 9th, 2009 8:26 PM

Ash's voice? Heck, I'm expecting Pikachu's voice to be played by James Earl Jones next at the rate this is going.

PikaBelleChu August 9th, 2009 9:08 PM

Veronica Taylor will always be Ash to me she is such a sweetheart.

His original voice was definitely the best.

I remember hearing it when they changed it. Its one of the reasons I don't watch the show regularly anymore. I joked that it was because Ash was finally hitting puberty, but is definitely not better.

Jorah August 10th, 2009 2:59 AM

In Advanced, Veronica Taylor's Ash voice really started to annoying me. I don't know what it was, maybe because it sounded a bit too deep :/ But it didn't sound very good. When Sarah Natochenny started out as Ash, her voice was way too deep, but around the middle of DP it went a bit higher and sounds fine now. In terms of voice acting, it seems about the same now.

But out of all the Ash's, I pick Rika Matsumoto :P It's powerful and quite smooth sounding ^_^

When will people get over it?
I don't have a problem with the new voice, it sounds as if hes starting to mature (we don't have the same voice for 10 years really while we are around ash's age now do we?) but then again, we really don't know how old Ash is now in the series.


:t354:TG

sanny the hedgehog August 10th, 2009 7:49 AM

That does make sense, Galactic gal.

funny1always August 11th, 2009 11:29 AM

I love his new voice it's better than the old one

Pichufan17 August 11th, 2009 12:09 PM

I liked his old voice, but the new one is not as bad as people make it out to be

Rocker32703 August 11th, 2009 3:41 PM

Arg! I liked ALL of the older voice acting from 4Kids. It was, like, the only thing they didn't totally screw up. :p

Ash, well, I got used to it, but I liked the older one better.

May...I don't even know if there are words to describe it, but I just don't like the new voice actor for her. Older one seemed more mature and 'real'.

Max just plain sucks, nothing else to it. xD

Brock I haven't noticed a big difference in, but I still liked the older voice. This one I'm ok with.

And those are my opinions on the new voice actors.

xXI JOE IXx August 11th, 2009 3:53 PM

Im tired of his new voice. Brock sounds like he ate sandpaperXD

Captain Hobo. August 11th, 2009 4:39 PM

I don't relly care i just like the action.

Riggzyd August 11th, 2009 5:07 PM

Im still on Episode 7 :( so i dont really know

kaoskaix August 11th, 2009 6:02 PM

Cant stand it actually. Not only do I prefer the old voice but I cant actually bare the new one. I supose its more that they talk differently. Its subtle but it seems like the newer voice makes Ash sound like a 1-D character while sapping all his old energy. It certainly doesnt help that they cut some of the better points of pokemon out when making newer episodes. of course this is all my opinion but the new voices just dont cut it for me and because I cant stand to watch it I cant actually tell if they are 1-D characters or not.
