The Official Voice Actor Discussion Thread

[Soldier]

KH4 theory: when Yozora's true form is revealed, he will no longer be voiced by Dylan Sprouse, but will instead be replaced with his twin brother Cole Sprouse. This will be the most Kingdom Hearts moment of all time.

Except for the part where Cole hates his fans and stardom to the point of being outright rude to them in public, despite the fact that they are largely the reason why he and his brother get to live cushy lifestyles and never have to work a day in their lives.

I always thought Willa Holland's performances shined in certain parts, specifically 0.2 and BBS' final episode/secret episodes. I thought she actually stood out in KH3 too, so hopefully she keeps it up.

I mean.... they *do* work... I couldn't be an actor for sure

I don’t claim to know much about Cole so I could be mistaken but to my knowledge being a child star sounds hard enough already, especially in Disney, and I highly doubt him and his brother barely did any work.

It's interesting how Dylan and Cole's adult lives are a near inverse of how one would have expected Zack and Cody to turn out.

In the show, it was all, "Cody would be the "good" twin while Zack would be constantly getting into trouble with the law", but "Cody" has actually had the more turbulent life while "Zack" is more settled down and lower profile.

Ken Page, the voice of Oogie Boogie, has sadly passed away.

That's why I said never HAVE TO work a day in their lives. They could literally decide tomorrow to quit all their projects and hole up in a hotel Howard Hughes style and end up just fine.

How many original characters do we have who haven't been voiced yet?

How many original characters do we have who haven't been voiced yet?

-Still need English VAs for Strelitzia, Brain, and Sigurd.
-Skuld I imagine is definitely going to be speaking in the series going forward
-Bragi might get a voice in a flashback?
-All the Dark Road classmates/upperclassmen and Odin, dunno if they will have a speaking role in the future.

Is that it?

Xehanort's mom is silent in game, but if she ever speaks she'd need a voice.

Also, all the characters in Missing Link are voiced but it doesn't look like they're getting dubbed, so you have that too. Oh, and Yozora's friends.

 

[WaltK]

…who would you cast?

 

[Keyblade Knight 1st Class]

Jack Black in all roles.

 

[Dandelion]

…who would you cast?

Robbie Daymond as Brain. Aside from that, I haven't given it much thought. Most KH original characters are teen actors that I've never heard of because I'm ancient.

 

[Keyblade Knight 1st Class]

If we're casting a Spider-Man actor as Brain, may I suggest Yuri Lowenthal?

 

[Launchpad]

I'd love to hear Zach Callison (Steven Universe) take on one of the major roles. I tend to prefer when KH pulls film actors and western animation actors in-- some KH characters speak with a more relaxed, filmic cadence, while others deliver lines that sound a lot like anime dubbing; the tone and emphasis are impossible to miss.

I think the easiest comparison would be the two Ansem voices. I'm not an Epcar hater, but Epcar is very much an anime villain whereas Zane feels more like a Disney villain. Anime dubbers work damn hard and that cadence doesn't always come off in the kitchen sink.

I love Zach Callison, but he's left voice acting and doesn't seem to want to come back. I'm aware he's in the Justice League Crisis on Infinite Earths movies, but so is Kevin Conroy and he passed away in 2022. So, I'm assuming those were recorded years ago.

 

[Keyblade Knight 1st Class]

How about Kiernan Shipka as Skuld?

 

[PikaPal]

Some random guesses from me:

Strelitzia: Madison Davenport
Brain: Alejandro Saab
Sigurd: Andre Sogliuzzo
Skuld: Madeline Dorroh
Bragi: Paul Castro Jr.
Odin: Jesse Corti
Vor: Jessica DiCicco
Baldr: Stuart Allan
Vidar: A.J. Beckles

 

[WaltK]

Who should voice young Eraqus if he returns? Cause it sure as hell won't be Drake.

I'm not sure if they'd cast voice actors who already have/had other roles in the series unless the characters were connected.
