Chrono Character VAs... a possibility
« on: July 10, 2009, 11:14:42 pm »
I have no idea if a topic like this has already been made, but if there were to be a new Chrono game for the next gen consoles, who do you all think would voice whom?

I myself only have a couple of examples, but anyway...

Magus - Crispin Feeman

Come on, I dare you to imagine his 'What the Prophet Seeks' dialog with Crispin's personal touch of badassery and not orgasm. IMO, no freaking contest.

Schala/Kid - Michelle Ruff

Michelle has a very good range from what I've heard of her work, and for Schala/Kid's special situation, it'd be a pretty good match.

Those are the only two off the top of my head so far.

Although watching through the Crimson Echoes vids, every time Alphard came onto the screen, I imagined Jameson Price (in his calm, low range) voicing him, so an honorable mention there. :P

Michelle Ruff really wouldn't suit Kid or Schala in my opinion, she'd be great as Lucca though.

Crispin Freeman as Magus? Perfect.

Johnny Yong Bosch would be fine as Crono I think (then again he's everywhere).

Laura Bailey for Marle? I haven't a clue about Robo or Frog.

Maybe Wendee Lee as Ayla and/or Queen Zeal.

I personally think Steven Blum would be a great Dalton or Magus. David Kaye could work for the other one.

Whenever I think of Queen Zeal, I personally think of Ursula from the Little Mermaid voice-wise. Wendee Lee is an awesome choice as well.

Mute Bob would have to be my pick for Crono what with him being mute and all. 

Caitlin Glass would be a decent Lucca.

Steven Kramer, Mike McFarland, Michael Dobson for Gaspar, Melchior and Belthasar respectively.

I honestly don't follow female VA's enough to put in my opinion on Ayla or Marle. Kelly Sheridan or Tara Strong could do either of them though, along with Crono's Mom.

Steven Kramer could double as Taban, he is pretty versatile.

Frog's difficult to pick because who knows if they'd go with Middle English Frog or Japanese Frog. I think Richard Ian Cox would be for Japanese Frog, Ted Cole for the Middle English one.

Robo....Rick Astley! Ok, dumb joke. I honestly liked J's tongue-in-cheek suggestion of James Earl Jones.

Brad Swaile has the squeakiness to do the Chancellor. If he could pull off an old man's voice he'd be perfect. Don Brown could do it no problem though.

Vic Mignogna as Johnny, and whatever the opening song is, Vic Mignogna should sing it.

Todd Haberkorn and Greg Ayers would make a good Masa and Mune.

Lex Lang for the Nu.

Brad Swaile again for Spekkio.

Richard Ian Cox could do a good Toma and Ozzie, Kirby Morrow for Slash and as I said before, I don't follow female VA's enough to judge on Flea.

Too many characters to keep up with, I'm dizzy just thinking about it.

You know what? Just put Vic Mignogna, Steven Blum and Tara Strong for the rest of them. They have enough talent between the three of them to take care of the rest.

Sounds like most of you prefer anime...dubber people...Anime voice actors? Yeah, that sounds better. I'm not too familiar with most voice actors, so I put the characters these voice actors played that inspired my choices for them as Chrono crew.

  • CCH Pounder for Queen Zeal. (Amanda Waller in Justice League/JLU)
  • Dee Bradley Baker vocoded or synthesized for Robo. (Klaus in American Dad!) Or for a more serious Robo: Kevin Conroy vocoded or synthesized. (Batman in Batman: TAS)
  • Keith David for Slash. (Goliath in Gargoyles)
  • Dave Ward for Taban & Banta, or Yakra. (Maybe you guys would recognize him as Ox-King in Dragonball)
  • John Rhys-Davies for Melchior. (GIMLI...and Macbeth in Gargoyles)

That's all I got.

Oh jeez...the one forum I thought would be susceptible to the dub vs. sub debate....

Should have seen this coming. Anyway, just so no one takes me too seriously, I prefer dubs, but I'm not against subs. Being that I don't follow seiyu, my expertise is in English voice actors, so that's who I talk about.

Japanese dubs are dubs too, technically. So I'm more pro-original dubs, I guess...but I need subs to understand the actual words being said! :lol:

Kevin Conroy as Robo is a fantastic idea!

In the same vein, I'd go for Mark Hamill as the Chancellor (Luke in SW but also Joker from Batman TAS)

The guy that played Raiden in Mortal Kombat, and was in Highlander for Magus.

Billy West as Dalton (he's my idol - Doug from Doug, the Red M&M, Stimpy, and half the Futurama voices to name a few)

No, his name's Christopher Lambert. He's a bit old now, but he's got "the voice."

Christopher Lambert was the saving grace in Mortal Kombat. He had such a cool, ominous air about himself...yeah, he'd be an interesting Magus, to say the least.

Oh and Mark Hamill could easily make an appearance in CT...but I picture him as Dalton, and Billy West (using his Professor Farnsworth voice) as the Chancellor. "Wha?"

I was thinking the Zapp Brannigan voice for Dalton. But really Billy West could do every male voice (with an American accent) in the game. Stimpy's voice for Ozzie. Professor's voice for chancellor. Fry's voice for Glenn (preFrog).

Jodi Benson is a magnificent voice actress. She'd be perfect as Schala.
