This action RPG game began as a collaboration between Square and Disney Interactive Studios and feature a cast of Disney voice actors. Tetsuya Nomura, overhearing their conversation, volunteered to lead the project and the two producers agreed to let him direct. The problem is that this method of casting has been a bit of a double-edged sword. After that massive onslaught of text dealing with my one bad point of getting actors with little-to-no experience in voice acting, I finally get to my second bad point. As for the future of the series…new characters to be voiced by America Ferrera and Ethan Peck? Other actors didn’t fare quite so well: David Boreanaz, as much as I love him as an actor (hell I won’t deny I had a massive crush on him back when he was Angel in Buffy), and as nicely suited as his voice was to Leon in Kingdom Hearts, just didn’t come across as a whole package- he struggled a bit in maintaining the right levels of emotion as the character. ), Alice- Kathryn Beaumont (Yes, the same woman who voiced her in 1951), Chicken Little- Zack Braff (serious kudos to him for doing this, the character only had like 4 standard summon lines), Clayton- Brian Blessed (I just love him for his role as the king in the first series of Blackadder), Dr. Finkelstein- Jess Harnell (also the voice of Wakko Warner), Gantu- Kevin Michael Richardson ("Cleveland Brown Jr." on the Cleveland Show), Hercules- Tate Donovan (only in KHII, Sean Astin did it in KHI), Jafar- Jonathan Freeman (he also voiced Jafar in a musical theater adaptation of the movie last year), King Triton- Kenneth Mars (Franz Liebkind in the original "Producers"), Mrs. Potts- Angela Lansbury (Let's face it, who doesn't love Angela Lansbury? The new DLC for Kingdom Hearts 3 sees main villain Master Xehanort receive a new voice actor, who anyone who grew up … Again, bringing in actors known primarily for live action doesn’t always work, and in these two girls’ cases, Stoner did what I saw as a very good emulation of Kairi’s voice, whilst Jette Martin’s Naminé was incredibly flat (which is a shame, because I really liked her in ABC Family’s short lived TV-adaptation of 10 Things I Hate About You). The one exception is the V There will not be any more updates in the "TRIVIA" section. Did you know that Kingdom Hearts actually has a lot of good singers in the voice cast? I’m sure a role could be made to be filled by Troy Baker (voice of Snow from FFXIII)- that would certainly make my world a happier place. Tara was introduced to the franchise alongside Yuna (still played by Hedy Burress, more known for her live action roles than her voice over ones) and Paine (Gwendoline Yeo, who has managed to have a nicely balanced acting career across different types of media). ), Piglet- John Fiedler (only in KHI, he died in 2005), The Emperor- Pat Morita (his last role before dying), The Mayor- Glenn Shadix (only in KHII, another guy did it in KHI), Wendy- Kathryn Beaumont (same deal as Alice, holy shit this woman is dedicated). As more games have been released, more recognizable names from the voice acting realm have been introduced, such as Kirk Thornton and Robin Atkin Downes (Saïx and Luxord). voiced … This odd mix of voices is something that unexpectedly worked a lot better than people would have thought possible. Hercules- Tate Donovan (only in KHII, Sean Astin did it in KHI) Hercules (young)- Josh Keaton. Music from Kingdom Hearts was also included in Shimomura's best works compilation album Drammatica. Gantu- Kevin Michael Richardson ("Cleveland Brown Jr." on the Cleveland Show) Grand Councilwoman- Zoe Caldwell. That even includes its protagonist, Sora. This is not an exclusive occurence, as DiZ/Ansem the Wise, despite having only had two actors, has not been voiced by the same one in any successive game. Yuffie’s voicework followed the same pattern as DiZ/Ansem, with no two consecutive appearances voiced by the same woman. You could spot moments where Dohring swung between being spot-on as Terra to having several uncomfortable voicing moments, whereas Holland was merely “okay” throughout the entire game. However, in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-, she was replaced by TV actress Andrea Bowen (trivia: Andrea’s sister voiced Fuu in Kingdom Hearts II). The biggest influx was in Kingdom Hearts II, including one of my favourite voice artists Tara Strong reprising her Final Fantasy X/X-2 role of Rikku. “Voicing in the Kingdom Hearts series” was written by Kupo Mog, our resident Community forum administrator. And most importantly, how good do you feel the voice acting is in the Kingdom Hearts franchise? This isn’t so much a statement on their acting ability, more that they just weren’t suited to voice acting. Sora. Now, why would she belong in the opposite end of the spectrum? Voice acting in the west, at this point in time, is not treated as importantly as in other places, particularly in Japan, despite my belief that voice acting is actually much harder. Several of the “celebrity” voices used in the first Kingdom Hearts were replaced in the second, and in turn this saw an increase in professional voice actors taking over: Billy Zane was replaced by Richard Epcar as “Ansem, Seeker of Darkness”, David Boreanaz was replaced by Doug Erholtz as Leon/Squall, and Christy Carlson Romano was replaced by Mae Whitman as Yuffie (the odd exception was Mandy Moore‘s replacement by Hollywood actress Mena Suvari as Aerith in one of the most fan-controversial moments of the series’ history).
