Ok.. I know everybody gets tired of such topics; Aqua's voice. Anyway, please listen to me once more >_<
My fear has popped up when I think that..
Reno and Axel has the same actor either Jap. and Eng. version
Terra's voice is similar to Xemnas or..Xehanort? not sure.. I've never heard this two's voice in Jap. anyway. So English version may probably be like that.
Ven and Roxas is definitely gonna have the same one in Eng, too as Jap.
Xion's and Kairi's as well.

In DK£3713, it was said Aqua's one sounded like Paine from FF X. Some of us went.."what? Her voice is manly?!". Till now it proved not as we heard her voice from the leaked trailer already. What I'm saying is that we're mostly just used to hearing Paine's voice in English which sounds umm.. big? It was not suit Aqua, at least to me, when the rumour came out.. But hey.. try to see this, friends

Paine's in Japanese ver.

Her voice sounds pretty! no anything like the English version.
What's more, Aqua's DOES sound like Paine's or similar to, at least,, after I heard her voice.
Maybe they use the same voice actress, I dont know.
But what if her one is the same as Paine's? The Eng version is going to use Paine's voice actress, too? Since it would sounds 'manly' like someone used to think.
I expect someone might say 'what does it matter? How Aqua's voice sounds I don't care. This is a stupid thread.' Oh guys^^ It is just my doubt that I want to share since it looks like no one speaks of this. I hope it'll be a new discussion:)

I love Paine's JP voice, and Aqua sounds great, too.

I can't really picture Paine's ENG voice fitting with Aqua, but I think if she changed it around a bit, it'll work.

OH GOD I HOPE SO!
a Low high voice seems like a cherry on top, wouldnt you agree?
and besides the english voice actor for paine will try to make her voice a little highish i hope?

The directors will direct the Voice Actor for Aqua to do it how they find best fitting for the character.
So, it doesn't matter.

I am so in love with Aqua's Japanese voice that the English one had better be perfect.

i doubt it would be perfect since English tends to mess it up a litle,

they will eighter make it better or make it worse, depending on peoples opinion.

However much I would die inside if Aqua had a really deep voice, I still think it would be initially funny.

Terra: Hey, Ven.
Ven: Hi, Terra. Oh, hello Aqua.
Aqua: Hey Guys.

Yeah, it does. Ansem got switched over from Billy Zane, who was awesome, to Richard Epcar, who was okay. Aerith's voice was pure and unadulterated fail. And if anyone but Quinton Flynn ever voiced Axel, I would fricking throw a hissy fit. The directors will do what they can, but it's not always enough, so there's no point to accepting it all as gospel.

I would have no problem with her voice, so long as it matches the character, I dont care.

KH is just unlucky. The Non-Disney VA's are better in Japanese, and all the Disney VA's are better in English.
I do hope they make an attempt to do her justice unlike what they did with Aerith.

The non-Disney characters tend to have some pretty sexy-sounding seiyuus, so I'm prepared to be disappointed. D:

I love you. ;_______;

Hopefully, they keep Aqua with a balanced voice. I don't want it to be "manly" per se, but a strong presence would be nice, and would suit Aqua's character quite well.
