Gurumin voice cast revealed |
Ó
Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure will further be brought to life with an all-star voice talent cast. According to Mastiff, LLC, popular voice actors whose got monster credits under their belts for games, TV shows and feature films, have been tapped to join in on the project. Leading the pack is Amber Hood for Parin's voice. Included in Hood's resume are roles in Shark Tale and Polar Express. But apart from films, she's also dabbled in voicing for video games such as Everquest II, Onimusha II, La Pucelle and the Baldur's Gate Series.
For the characters of Cream, Mosby, and Baby Tokaron, Tara Strong of The Fairly Odd Parents (as Timmy) will be taking on the task. She's also worked as Raven in Teen Titans, and has provided dubbing services for Rugrats in Paris, The Animatrix and Hoodwinked. As for her experience voicing over for video games, well, she's got Final Fantasy X and X-II, Kingdom Hearts II, and Ninja Gaiden, among others.
Meanwhile, Dee Bradley Baker will be giving voice to Rocko, Digby and Puchi. His resume includes the films Dawn of the Dead, Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed and Spongebob Squarepants: The Movie. For his video games experience, he's worked on blockbuster titles such as Halo 2, Destroy All Humans! and Final Fantasy X-2.
Wow. Those really are heavy-hitters right there. And for a bunch all as variedly experienced and renowned as they all are, who else could better fit into the job of being the voice director for them all but Kris Zimmerman? He is, after all, one of the most experienced voice over directors in the gaming industry, and has, under his helm, hit titles like Capcom's Dead Rising, Tomb Raider: Legend, and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence.
Yup. It sure is monstrous.

Believe me, their names or what voice-overs they've don't count for me. The thing is if they're good at voice-acting, if the actually "live" the game when the act it, and if they're worthy of their role, because the game was originally in Japanese (and English voices cannot be better than the Japanese ones...). That's not just for Gurumin, it's for EVERY Japanese title. I've heard very good and very bad voice-overs over the years.
It should have the option of choosing between english and japanese voices, like Disgaea.
All right! I can't wait for another game with astonishingly failing voice overs! I can't refrain from spewing out liquids just to know I'll be paying for American, talented actors like Tara Hood and whatnot while I still live in the old continent. It truly makes my day a bit brighter altogether. By the bye, I hope they implement the option to switch between, otherwise it's playing without audio for me again. Although, I'd love to get the Japanese version, but what are the chances of someone suing my genitals off?
dont change the voices!! I love gurumins voice acting dont change anything!!!!
While it's cool this company is taking the game serious (God I hope they port the other falcom game now out in japan for psp), I also do hope for the japanese VO to stay in the game. The main character is spot on. yoshinatsu, I have to disagree on a few things. There are times where the american VO was better done then the japanese. Here are a few I think fit 1) Metal Gear Solid (american snake > japanese snake) 2) Cowboy Beebop (The voices fit into place much better) 3) Spirited Away (Disney did a fantastic job and the VO sounded much better, part of this I think is because the JPN VO were not done in a proper sound stage, see DVD extra for video on that).
Snake's design is based on David Hayter+ others in the later games, and he's the VA of snake, so they kind of cheated. I believe they used Dave for MGS1 in Japan aswell. Spirited away dub was pretty bad imo.
