I don't normally listen to the dub track on the R1 DVDs we get here, but on those rare occasion that I have, I've noticed some pretty piss-poor voice acting by the English voice actors. Mismatched voices with inappropriate intonations and inflections seem to be the norm for the English dub track, but I attribute this more to shoddy direction from the ADR director.Originally posted by av98m:well, Xedo has quite a dirty reputation overseas as well...here's an extract of an interview with a major US anime dubbing studio:
How do you feel about those foreign studios?
I don't want to comment on Singapore, other than that I don't think the stuff that's come out of there has been noteworthy. But I will say that I think Canada – meaning Ocean – has done great work. I actually supervised some Gundam series that Bandai was doing with them, and there are a lot of great people up there.
Is it upsetting that this is work that could be going to you, but instead it's going to foreign companies that are doing it for a much lower price? Odex in Singapore does their dubs for a fraction of what American companies charge.
Well, it's cyclical. I'm not going to begrudge an anime company – if their focus is the bottom line and not quality, then that's their business. I run my business how I want to run it. But as I said, it's cyclical. I think they are getting what they pay for with some of those foreign studios, and we'll hang on and see how it goes. So far it's working out OK for us.
Don't believe me? Just get a hold of any ADV DVD and flip over to the English soundtrack. Your ears will start bleeding in short order. -
