i think we really undermine the subtle effect a character’s voice has on our interpretation of them as a character

#snap chats #yes this is about yamcha :) but also a bit about v*geta ngl #ill get yamcha out of the way first since i think of his the most frequently and its the most obvious #but anyways i always compare his japanese and english voices #i love anime for this type of thing because it gives you a good-enough ground to compare #yamcha is an especial victim to this kind of shift in character #'kind of' lmao he's an entirely different person in english #but in japanese yamcha's tone definitely sounds more dorkish #his voice isnt too deep and he sounds light hearted most of the time #thus he gives off a very friendly atmosphere and he's a bit lame but in an endearing way #which i feel is pretty accurate to him as a character lmao #in english i'm not trying to suggest sabat makes yamcha sound intimidating #this is more so a review of his Z voice and DB; i feel like they really started to take some liberties with him then #but even in db his tone definitely came across harsher at times #i dont even necessarily mean words i just mean the way he said things #and i jokke about it but in Z he really does have the energy of a surfer dude #and i think that kind of spurs interpretations that yamcha's not smart or that he's like #i cant even explain it but do you know what i mean? like you can't tell me japanese and english yamcha have totally different vibes #its very interesting it really is ! its also a matter of scripts but thats a topic for another day ig #im running out of tags but let me see if i can squeeze in v*geta #like in japanese- i actually really like his japanese voice it makes him bearable LMAO #he just sounds way more regal and like his nose is upturnt- which is perfect #in english he just. i don't know- but there's not sense of regallity in his tone #which i guess is a topic up for debate since saiyans are brutish in general but there's clearly more class among royalty #im running out of tags i cant explain this any further forgive me feel free to ask me to continue ig 😫
