Okay, who likes Envy's english voice? It's alright, but....don't you think they could've done better? I mean...really. I'm sorta in Envy-hate-mode at the moment due to a spoiler I ACCIDENTLY read, but...yeah. Do you all like his voice? (yes, HIS voice)
Full Blade Alchemist
I hate Envy's voice in english. It is way too feminine. That's why people think Envy's a girl, in Japanese, you can really tell Envy is a he! (well, to me)
LILYCHANG8
Kinda good, but kinda weird tho. lol tongue.gif
Toby-Chan
It's not entirely because he sounds like a 60 year old female smoker, but mostly that his dub just dosen't have the same... viciousness that it initially did. Way too mellow, in my opinion.

laugh.gif You have a way with words " a 60 year old female smoker" I love you Toby XD
darkangelslayer
Yea, his voice is like a girl trying to act like a man. It's terrible.
phoenix dying
This might be a little extreme but envy's voice played by James Earl Jones
Envy's lil' miniskirt
No, no, no a thousand times no! mad.gif

It's horrible and makes my eye twitch whenever I hear it. Last weeks episode was painful. I agree with Toby on the sixty year old smoker thing only I was thinking aged lounge lizard sitting around smoking and drinking cocktails, but that's just me. I liked the orginal VA because when Envy got angry he sounded like he would just snap at any minuite and as last weeks episode proved the US VA just couldn't step up to the plate. I didn't believe Envy was pissed off for a minute.
Toby-Chan
That's what I've been saying. Like his line "We weren't created; we were born!"

In english, he just sounded... defiant and mildly miffed.

In Japanese, you really got the intended "Bring-up-the-topic-again-and-I'll-kill-you-you-little-bastard" air from it.

Exactly. Or when he started with the whole "I'll never forgive you, you carry that bastards blood" and his eyes started quivering, in the sub I though he might start tearing Ed limb from limb. I was sure he was going to have complete psychotic breakdown somewhere in the series.
Guest
Envy voice sounded so of that it almost made my ears bleed. His voice was so unmasculing it made the guy from Rush sound like Arnold Swarzenager. He voice actor can't emote for crap either. This is also wierd cause usally the JApenese voices are always higher. They killed GLounotony to. I can't spell for crap so please don't point out my rampamt speling mistakes.
chibs3000
Hey, now, Gluttony's voice isn't that bad! I think he (Chris Cason) did a great job on his voice. I mean, if you were to play a fat stupid guy who was hungry all the time....I admire ANYONE who would play him.

And as for Envy- his voice can be good AT TIMES but....I mean...you know, they could have done better. *pats Envy absent-mindedly on the hand* Poor Envy.
Toby-Chan
I disagree about Gluttony. He's more than just a stupid fat guy who eats things. While he definitely dosen't have all that much dramatic depth, he has a disturbing and yet endearing childlike quality to him that is killed as soon as the dub turns him into a gnome. mad.gif
Guest
They tried to make gloutony sound menacing, he isn't sopused to sound menacing. He is sopused to sound like a retarded seven year old. That the apeal in the original. You have this evil litlle kid type thing that actually was cool. Now you have the evil leprechuan from tose god awful killer leprauchuan movies.
dragonflame327
His English VA is horrible. I haven't seen Envy in the dub in ages but it just....sucks. Tobi, lol! 60 year old female smoker!! XDD Yeah, they definitely lost the feeling in his voice though.
the_philosopher
Wait...Envy is...

...a man?

*mind-blow*

Ah, this is what I get for only watching the English dub.

Whenever I head Envy's voice it makes me think he is constipated.
chibs3000
LOL!!! CONSTIPATED!!! I'm sorry, that was hilarious...but it's sort of true, in a way!! Also- for those of you who have heard Wrath's voice, is it good? I'm deprived so I have to wait A BUNCH LOAD more Saturdays to hear his voice. Which is bad, because I'm obsessed with Wrath...and I don't know anything about him....wow, I'm such a fan.
Toby-Chan
You should try listening to the original before hating on him.

I found the Japanese voice to be quite sexy. I guess that's just my wierd taste though. (I mean, I thought Kyoko was a male singer. XO I was almost a lesbian there!)

Sorry chibs but I have no clue what Wrath's voice sounds like. You'l have to wait just like me. *nodnod*
Zarpia
I HATE the voice in inglish it sounds like girl is just depresing, is way better in jap.
Guest_Isiserah/Iyami_*
Envy's voice makes him sound really gay. LOLOLOOLOL! A 60 year old female smoker! YOU'RE RIGHT! He always sounds like he's been wiffin' too much crack or somethin', but really I was convinced he was a girl. He's got a skinny body and, what the hell why is he wearing a damn mini skirt?! What guy wears a small top and skirt/shorts underneath. It's like a friggin manslut with a female drug attic's voice. Really....could the english version do any better? He's so...irking to hear!! I always throw something at the TV everytime I see his face.[spoiler]I hate him, he killed Ed![/spoiler]

...When my friend first saw him and heard his voice she said either he's a he/she or a girl that's flat, or something....but his voice is horrible! tongue.gif

..Holy crap.

The 60-year-old comment is almost exactly what came out of my mouth after hearing Envy's dub voice for the first time. Although he sounds more like a 60 year old female pervert, in my opinion.
Automne
Oh my God... Can someone give me a link so I can hear it?! If it is forbidden don't give it to me! biggrin.gif
Sorry, I can only comment on his french voice! rolleyes.gif
FMA4ever
I love Envy's voice! He's played by Wendy Powell who also plays Kyo's mom from Fruits Basket. Envy is cool! biggrin.gif
Sin Of Envy
I hate it......I said enough....
Popogeejo
I hate bumping threads over 9 months old worse but it can't be helped.
I think Envy's voice is a bit to feminine but I can't think of anything better so I'm happy to let it slide.
Toby-Chan
Envy's French voice is sexy. (But Roy's French voice= teh ultrasexx) The French dub is kinda cool, even with the stuff they change. (Al calling his brother by his given name makes my heart hurt.)
Automne
Mustang's french voice? Huuuum...*tries to remember it* AH! Yeah! Not bad, sounds a little too young for my taste though, but better than the english version, at least to me. And yes, Envy's french voice is awesome XD (Though it's hard to believe him and Ed have the same seiyu...)

About his english one, well, it's not bad, no need to make such a fuss about it, I believe. Though it could have been better, I admit.
Damascus
Funny b/c just as you can't tell if Envy is boy/girl, you can't tell by voice either!!! biggrin.gif

ALmost anything sounds sexy in french, lol, but heck yes, i melted when i heard ROy's voice.... *drools* I actually haven't heard Envy's french voice... *goes to watch*

Envy's english voice? It kinda creeps me out. Sounds like an old woman.
Envy's jap voice? Still androgynous, not quite guy or girl, maybe leaning towards girl. I like it a lot better, it fits him better.
Keoni
French voice huh? * goes and look for it*
OMgomgomg: or rather: Mon Dieu! that is so hot! I love Roy's french voice! wub.gif

As for Envy:
No, definatelly a big NO. He sounds like my Grandma early in the morning. ( talking about the english dub again) I know he's supposed to be androgyn and all, but a bit less femine wouldn't hurt anyone.
Migchao
A bit decent, but it doesn't take the cake. Blame Wendy Powell for doing the dub, but she's okay with dubbing.
Megumi/Miyuki? does a better voicing for Envy, heck, most of the voice actors who do FMA are really women. Envy, Lust...this may come to surprise, but Ed and Al are woman-voiced.
Back to the point, the voice is pretty good at times, but sometimes it misses the mark or the tone isn't right with the event. A few times it can be good, others...
winryrockbell1
i do but i hate envy
_Jelly
Thats one long sig...

Envys japanese voice: Pretty damn cool. You can tell he's a dude still. ^^
Envys english voice: Sounds like my friends grandma...truely something that would be you go insane...
Envys french voice: Never heard of it.

LOL yar, I told friends that Ed was done by a girl, they yelled in ma ears..dang..it still hurts.
Nil-chan
I don't realy mind that Ed was done by a girl, he still sounds just right.

In English no. But I heard that Conan from Case Closed is voiced by the creator's wife...still dunno if it's true...Pinako voiced by a sixty year old lady...yeah, you're right! ohmy.gif

Your train of thought sounds slightly schizophrenic.
Lucrezia
Well, when I first heard it I was like "OMFG...what have they done?!?!?!?" It made me want to shoot myself (well, not really, but you know what I mean). But now I'm used to it.
Nil-chan
What his english voice? Yeah, i know what you mean. I still can't stand dubbs.
The New Fullmetal Alchemist
I think his english voice rocks! I mean, seriously, think about it, for the most part he really has only the vaguest idea of what he was - male vs. female, I mean - just look at the way he dresses! So, all things considered, I think it's a great dub! Hey, has anyone else noticed how the English dub is almost matched better with the lips than in the original Japanese?

quick, fun, random facts:

In Fruits Basket (English dub), Tohru Honda is voiced by the same woman who voices Lust!
In Fruits Basket (English dub), Yuki Sohma is voiced by the same man who voices Kimblee!
In Fruits Basket (English dub), Hiro Sohma is voiced by the same boy who voices Alphonse!

Hahaha! It's funny! They're all exact opposites! There are a bunch of others also, but those three made me laugh the hardest when I found that out! Haha! laugh.gif
