    No not you who, lol

    I had created a thread like this on the old forum (probably a year ago now, lol) and Prime made a comment about who could replace Petrea Burchard

    Obviously no one is as good as the originals, but lets face it, most of them are in there 50’s, 60,s hell Sherry Lynn is in her 70’s now (I know right Sasami, 70 years old)

    So if you had to pick another voice actor (doesn’t necessarily have to be an anime voice actor but does have to be a voice actor of some kind) Who would you replace and why?

    Since Petrea Burchard was mentioned in the OVA3 thread, lol For me I’d say either

    Jean Smart or Mimi Woods

    Jean Smart because she has Ryoko’s voice almost down pat normally, its a little more raspy, but with even a little conditioning, she’d be perfect

    and Mimi Woods because she is actually an anime voice actor, and has the Ryoko attitude 150%, her voice is pretty close too, I think she’d be a great fit

      :kermit: YAY! I’m not considered expendable!!!

      I’ll have to give some consideration for Ryoko–we all know full well NO ONE could possibly replace Petrea–but let me see…I gotta’ listen to Jean Smart… to google!

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=</YOUTUBE&gt;

      *no idea what this show is, but anyways…

      HOLY JUMPING CABBITS, if you start listening around 1:15 (don’t watch, just listen) especially 1:30 wow, Dagon, I completely agree with you on that one. I’ve heard Petrea just speaking normally a bit, & Jean here is speaking normally, they do sound very similar…just a tiny bit of brushing up on the character & getting accustomed to the role…she could definitely pull it off imo. (Sure wish you were in charge of casting for oav3, Dagon… 1) we’d still prob have Petrea, 2) if it just wasn’t meant-to-be, you could at least put in the effort to get a good replacement)

      p.s. wow that is a real shock when you think about how much time has actually passed from when Tenchi lines were recorded to the present…Sherry Lynn is 70? Oh my where does the time go???

      p.p.s. no one could replace you Petrea!!!

      When she said “Maybe you are now, but you weren’t back then, twelve years ago,” in that raspy voice? Pitch aside, that totally came off like how an angry Ryoko might sound.

      Also, Sherry Lynn…Wikipedia is frickin’ incompetent, because her entry on that site actually has her at 29. It’s as if whoever did the editing there was confusing her with another Sherry Lynn. I’d correct her birthdate on there right now, except I don’t know what it is.

      According to Wikipedia,from 2009 up until recently, her birthdate was September 25, 1941, it has since changed to 1981

      I’ve yet to see any date otherwise

      but thats not the point of this thread so, speaking of Sasami

      If I couldn’t find someone right away, I would do anything I could to get bubblebibbit, who is the person who does Sasami in TLF’s Tenchi Abridged, Near-Perfect Sasami.

      Darn wikipedia, about as useful as a screendoor on a submarine sometimes…

      Sherry Lynn being around late 50’s I can see, that’s about where alot of the rest of the cast is at (Petrea, Matt) though I don’t know anything about her, so I can’t really comment on that one…

      What I can point out–not to be nit-picky–but as for VA’s for TLF:

      Bubblebibbit is the voice of Washu in Tenchi abridged (I think she does a good job at it) :washu: I’m certain that’s the only main character she does. Sasami is…let me check…

      Hmm, now they have it listed as one Toku Tensi, trying to remember who it was in their earlier days (they both sound almost dead on)… RenaKitty? I can’t remember, though I’ve definitely kept track of Raz, Bullidom, Bubblebibbit, & [attempted] to keep track of Ryoko’s VA changes.

      Actually, come to think of it, maybe Sasami’s VA just had a username change somewhere down the line, that happens occassionally, but at any rate, not Bubblebibbit

      EDIT: & since it already got up, I’d feel pretty good about using TLF’s VA’s for Mihoshi & Kiyone as replacements as well (which currently is also Toku Tensi)

      Julia Fletcher, who voiced Nagi (Tenchi Universe)and Mid from the “Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals” anime could probably pull off a good Yugi voice. (Yugi was voiced by Debi Derryberry.)

      I’m thinking Vic Mignogna – aka Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist, Yoshimori from Kekkaishi, and Ikkaku Madarame from Bleach, among others – could make a pretty good child Tenchi or Yosho. And if I wasn’t so addicted to Chuck Huber‘s Android 17 voice from Dragon Ball, I would probably be politicking for him to be Kagato right now.

      Yeah, I guess I was feeling a little link heavy here.

      Sorry for double posting, but it’s been enough days I figure it’s worth it.

      I mentioned child Tenchi or Yosho. Now I’m thinking of current Tenchi. I had two ideas run through my mind. One was Aaron Dismuke, I was thinking he could fill that role (his voice is no longer an Alphonse, in fact it’s actually closer to the Abridged Tenchi voice these days, which would be pretty cool to see in the real deal – and, yeah, shamelessly, I’m kind of a mark for FMA). But then I had another thought. Mark Gatha, the voice of Domon Kasshu and Mega Man X. He would make a perfect Tenchi, and he’s not even in his forties. I’d like to think that if I had the money to get him back into voice acting, I’d throw it at him for this. But then again, I think he’s an orthopedic surgeon now. That does a lot more for paying the bills than typical voice acting does. I don’t think there’s any way I could get him onto this without breaking the bank of the project unless I had a super rich budget.

      So, while I’m thinking about who could be Tenchi, among others, let’s bring us a cast from me, please, consisting completely of folks whose last work was seen in 2010 or ’09 at the earliest. [Some may be keeps from the original. They’ll have asterisks.]

      Tenchi – Kirby Morrow (child form: Todd Haberkorn)

      Katsuhito/Yosho – Greg Baldwin (Katsuhito), Richard CansinoWendy Powell

      Nobuyuki – Steve Kramer

      Ayeka – Janyse Jaud

      Sasami – Sherry Lynn*

      Ryo-Ohki – Debi Derryberry*

      Mihoshi –Rebecca Forstadt*

      Washu – Jennifer Hale

      Kagato – Scott McNeil

      Tsunami – Kelly Sheridan

      Zero – Willow Johnson

      Dr. Clay – Greg Eagles

      Tokimi – Mary Elizabeth McGlynn

      D3 – David Lodge

      Z – Wally Wingert

      Azusa – Dan Green

      Funaho – Christine Auten

      Misaki – Megan Hollingshead

      Kiyone Makibi – Wendee Lee*

      Nagi – Julia Fletcher*

      Sakuya – Stephanie Sheh

      Yugi – Jessica Straus

      Hotsuma – Dan Woren

      Tsugaru – Brian Donovan

      Matori – Kate Higgins

      …wow. Now I feel like an idiot who just presumed that older means deeper. 😳

      And in that case, Brina doesn’t really give off the sweet regal impression of a Tsunami. I’m not sure if she could pull it off.

      So, with that being said…

      I’m glad to see someone else made a list of characters ^_^ taking a quick look through of the list, here’s my thoughts

      Yes / MAYBE

      Ryoko – Wendy Powell

      Tenchi – Kirby Morrow

      Ayeka – Janyse Jaud

      Hotsuma – Dan Woren

      NO

      Kagato – Scott McNeil

      (Ryoko) (child form: Mona Marshall)

      Azusa – Dan Green

      (Yosho) (child form: Vic Mignogna)

      And heres why, I’ll explain the No’s first (these are my opinions on them, and why for, no need for anybody to bust a gasket, lol)

      Kagato – I’ll be honest, I love Scott McNiel to death, he’s one of the few actors at Ocean who imho, far exceeds the expectations one has when you hear that Ocean has dubbed a show, lol that being said, no part of his entourage of voices fit Kagato, they just don’t, his villian one is too whiny, too “I’m a pawn, not a shepherd” and his deep voice is too Piccolo (He was the first AND ONLY Piccolo to me, I can’t not hear it) not to mention, him, like Mona and a few other VA’s, has such a signature affliction to his voice, its REALLY hard not to say “Oh look its Scott McNiel doing Kagato” not “Kagato done by Scott McNiel”

      Ryoko child – No, I’m sorry, I see where you were going with it, but the nasily “I will forever be a 13 year old boy voice” fits Aeka’s visage of Ryoko more then it does anyone elses, lol not to mention, like I mentioned above and will mention multiple times throughout this post because its the sole reason most of the NO’s don’t work, lol Mona’s voice is very distinctive, and will more then likely give people flashbacks to her rendition of OVA3, which, lest we forget, had less then a standing ovation.

      Azusa – honestly, not a terrible choice, Dan Green has a really commanding voice, that being said, I speak for anyone and everyone who hears this that I will half expect Azusa to look down at his millennium item and go “YU-GI-OH” afterwords, when he gets ready to DUEL Tenchi, lol

      Yosho Child – “Come on Alphonse were gonna be late”, YUP lol Vic’s voice has the opposite problem of Dan Greens, if Vic trys to play an older character, he can get away with his voice not being the elephant in the room, just like if Dan Green plays a younger voice, he can hide it pretty well, but when Vic plays anything related to a young kid or Teenager, you might as well put “Fullmetal” in front of them and call it a day.

      Again, not bad choices per say, but it really does take away from the group when you feel more like your watching the anime for the VA’s then the actual on-screen characters, now onto the Yes / Maybe’s

      Tenchi – Tenchi’s choice, using the only frame of reference I know from being Miroku from Inuyasha, I would give a maybe, he would pass if you were to replace Masami Kikuchi, but as for replacing Matt Miller? honestly, I’d give him a C, C+ if he tried. Tenchi’s english dub voice is that of a not deep, middle toned, almost clueless teenage boy, and really replacing anyone from the old cast I seriously deem impossible to replicate, Pioneer dubbed with an almost magical ability (or that of common sense, which seems to be a goddamn superpower these days, lol) either way, I think there are better choices, but given the circumstance, if he tried really hard to make his voice “goofier” without losing the sincerity and going full comic relief character, he could pull it off

      Ryoko – oo baby, Ryoko’s voice is that of well, perfection, not so much in the voice itself, but in the character, Petrea Burchard didn’t just act as Ryoko, it literally felt like every facet of Petrea came out in Ryoko, so much that it makes Ryoko feel “human”, and that is why she has been forever immortalized by so many. That being said, Wendy Powell has the voice, but again using the frame of reference I know, being that of Sister Paula from Trinity Blood, I just don’t see the fire, I don’t hear the personality, the chops are there, the tone is there, but the soul, the presentation, there’s just no fire. I’d love to throw in Jean Smart again (because I’ll be honest, I do not think there is a better choice, I’ve yet to hear it) BUT looking at FUNimation, I can suggest one I think would do better and that is also from Trinity Blood being Carrie Savage, who played Astharoshe Asran. If you’re going to get anyone to play Ryoko, get someone who can absolutely NAIL that personality (and not sound like Izzy from Digimon), if you can do that, you’ve got alot less to worry about.

      Aeka – Despite the fact that I am vehemently a Ryoko fan, that does not mean I won’t suffer like everyone else if Aeka (or anyone of the girls for that matter) fails to make the right entrance and impression, that being said, I think Aeka’s is more doable then the last 2 I mentioned. It looks like Ms. Janyse has a wide range, thats good, but Aeka has a very nobilic voice (Not Australian, despite what GXP episode 17 says ^_-), if Janyse could get a little more dignified, prissy even, in her voice I think she could nail it.

      Hotsuma – oo another actor who I absolutely love, have been a Dan Woren fan for years, literally, the perfect maniachal bad guy. As Hotsuma, he could totally pull it off, however, we will more then likely never see Hotsuma re-dubbed, that being said, I think Dan Woren as Kagato (I’ll have to look back I think I may have used him as Kagato before) would be the perfect replacement for Tristan MacAvery, Put Dan Woren’s performance from Armitage as DanClaude on top of Kagato attacking the Tenchi cast, oh man, shivers, oh yea, he’s Kagato, lol

      I know its a long post, but there was no other way to get it across, lol

      Now, hold on just a cotton-pickin’ minute. If you’re going to let Sherry Lynn come back as Tsunami, then you ought to have her voice Sasami. (Even if she does voice something like five thousand other young female characters out there.)

      Yeah… if you’re going to have her come back at all, she should voice Sasami, or not even be there.

      Well, considering Ayeka’s visage of Ryoko is pretty much responsible for half the child version Universe “flashback” scenes, the influence in that direction wasn’t entirely blindfolded. Although, this is probably a pointless hire anyway even without the OVA 3-based backlash, considering what Envy has shown me Wendy Powell (my choice for current Ryoko) is capable of, not to mention she’s experienced voicing children too…

      The following video will bring you closer to being sold on both Kirby and my choice of Kelly Sheridan for Tsunami:

      Back to Wendy for just a second, or maybe I should be saying for a longer stay this time. Ironically, it was the exact opposite issue of it for me. The frame of reference I first became familiar with Wendy through was actually Envy, which is not exactly a Ryoko-like voice in terms of the seductive tone. It’s distant enough from Ryoko that she wouldn’t repeat the same voice, but close enough that I noticed some of what it would take to successfully play a Ryoko in the bass and emotion she often displayed in the appropriate scenes. If I’m gathering this correctly, if she can combine our two references and give us something like a Sister Paula (which I would venture to say is closer to her real voice) with the same energy that she used for Envy, then she should be fine.

      If I’m correct, she also voiced Sarah from Ed, Edd n Eddy. So I like her chances at being able to do dignified, prissy, and catty.

      I’ll be getting to the others a bit later, but these are the ones I could reply about offhand at the moment.

      I was able friend Petrea on FB awhile back.I just recently got up the nerve to ask for an autograph though..lol

      Anyone know who KT’s agent was ? That might help find her. I have a Washu-loving friend that would love to get an autograph from her.

      There looks to be VERY little info on her online anywhere. I guess Funimation would have her on file..maybe shoot them an email and ask for agent contact info. It would be a pretty complicated process..but worth it.

      I recently mailed some pieces to Petrea’s agency to get signed…little difficult but it will be worth it to me. I just get to cons myself.

      *yawn again*

      She also appears to run some kind of educational facility I think in California.

      Didn’t look into that much though. Also if you run a background check, you could probably

      get her full address.

      “Ellen is now friends with Sherry Lynn and 4 other people.”

      At least it’s something though right ? My mom was a huge Star trek / Star Wars fan..I remember her taking us to some local cons when we were little to get autographs. It’s a great way to have proof you have actually met or know someone you admire. It’s as close as many of us will ever get to actually meeting our favorite characters too.

      I posted pics of mine in the ” show off your anime collection thread if anyone wants to see them ! :D

      I enjoy conventions, there’s always going to be some strange/creepy/smelly/all of the above people there, but they’re outnumbered easily enough and there’s a lot of fun to be had.

      I would recommend going to a smaller convention first, then if you enjoy that experience, move on to one of the bigger. Find friends to go with, that way you can split hotel costs and whathaveyou… and you would have people to hang out with at the con when you want to. No matter where you are, not necessarily conventions but it seems to draw in a bit more, you’ll have some… different characters so just like anywhere else, use common sense. Half of the people cosplaying do it just to have fun. If you don’t like their cosplay/physical appearance then you don’t have to pay attention to it. Live and let live, and so forth. If the person in front of you in a queue or at a panel smells, you can move. If someone is seriously creeping on you, avoid them or even talk to the event staff. That is what they’re there for.

      Go to a UK convention. They’re much smaller, everyone at the con is usually 18+ and the people are very chill and friendly.

      Probably working on a multitude of things, that was always the beauty of Tenchi’s dub cast (and many Pioneer works) was the voice actors often times weren’t ONLY voice actors.

      Just an example (although not a Pioneer Dub) Zan (who played Aisha Clan Clan in Outlaw Star) Now works in the tourism department for the government of Australia. Can you imagine going to Australia and hearing or watching a video and her greeting you? omgtearsplz

      Have to agree with you there. All of their stories would be fascinating to listen to. Were it not for the fact that Petrea literally just did an interview for an anime website only months ago (http://tenchiforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=257” class=”bbcode_url”>http://tenchiforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=257) I would probably go about inviting her to do an official TenchiForum interview

      not to say that can’t happen/be attempted at some point in the future, but I figured wait a bit since she just did this interview, and right around the same time she’s really been getting back into Tenchi fandom and getting in touch with fans (she’s been getting con guest requests left and right, and recently attended PMX convention) so she’s been busy.

      As far as the rest of the cast, I’m not really acquainted with any of them, so idk what they’ve really been up to* but who knows! TenchiForum today is more than I would have imagined a couple years ago, so…we’ll see 😉

      *I guess on the note of Tenchi cast members doing other stuff other than voice over, I do know Matt K. Miller has been doing live-performance theatre as of late, and Petrea has really taken to writing (short stories, blogging) and is currently working on a novel.

      I honestly have not a clue who could replace who and really do a great job. I imagine the same could be said of all of us. That said, here’s a list of who I’d like to see in these roles.

      Kagato- Chuck Huber

      Ryoko- Jean Smart

      Yosho- J. Michael Tatum

      Young Ryoko- Brina Palencia/Leah Clark

      Sasami: Brina Palencia

      Kiyone: Monica Rial

      Ayeka: Colleen Clinkenbeard

      and not a clue for the rest of the cast.

      Both very valid points, but now that I read your post Silver (& subsequently re-read mine) I’m slapping myself right now, I seem to have mixed this thread up with a similar thread in which we discussed possibilities for hypothetically if ever there were an attempt at a live-action Tenchi Muyo! movie, who would be cast as whom…so, whoops, I mean I think he’d be good Tenchi as a live-action actor, not V.A. per say

      And the problem with this is? :Cheeks:

      But seriously, I like to think that we here value all of the amazing VA’s equally. After all, without any one of their awesome work the final product would not have been as good. Ms. Burchard’s performance is obviously one of the more beloved ones, but I know for a fact that there has been contact, or at least attempted contact, with most of the other VA’s. I think that it reflects extremely well on us as a community that so many of our members have been moved enough to share their appreciation with the VA’s themselves.

      Keep it up :sign: ! You guys rock!

      RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!

      So over the weekend while at Ohayocon waiting in line for the “Religion in Anime” panel, I inadvertently stumbled across a fandubbed movie (everyone in line had to go to another room because the line was getting to large for the hallway, so a big chunk of us were told to go to a room with this playing in it).

      http://www.daizex.com/misc_stuff/fanboysoze_1.jpg" />

      Now aside from the fact it is VERY, VERY good, the person who played Tetsuo (He wasn’t “Tetsuo” by name in the movie, but yea you know what I mean) There were multiple times throughout where I just said to myself “Wow, that sounds JUST like Matt Miller”

      Through BehindTheVoiceActors, I recently sent a friend request to Ellen Gerstell (the original Mihoshi), and to my surprise, she accepted! I guess it is possible to get in touch with her.

      https://www.facebook.com/ellen.gerstell?ref=ts&fref=ts

      I also sent one to Sherry Lynn, but she has yet to respond. (EDIT: She did accept!)

      The second Mihoshi, Rebecca Forstadt, is also really easy to get in contact with if you do it through her website. I did a pretty lengthy interview with her for my senior project (though more about the business of acting, not much about anime) http://www.rebeccaforstadt.com

      Wendee Lee’s pretty easy to get in touch with. She actually does respond to her fanmail through her website: http://www.wendeelee.com/

      Other than that, I’m also Facebook friends with Petrea Burchard, who’s really awesome to her fans.

      I’d LOVE to get in contact with Jennifer Darling and Kate T Vogt, both of which seemed to have disappeared off the face of the planet.

      I was unaware that Wendee Lee was in the Tenchi dub.Then again I am more into the subs these days.

      That said I really think Ms.Lee is one of the best American VAs around.Before getting into the subs I enjoyed her work in such shows as Dual,Cowboy Bebop and Megas XLR where she played Future Girl.

      One of the last anime I watched dubbed was Fushigi Yugi where she played Yui. 😎

      There’s also an interview with her on volume 2 of Magic Knights Rayearth(the old Anime Works version).

      She played Umi in that one and talks about the expierence.Though the problem I had was the audio was

      too low or something.

      I wonder if they ever did the same sort of thing for Tenchi.It would be nice to hear her views of whichever character she played on Tenchi as well.

      Wendee Lee was Kiyone in Tenchi in Tokyo and the latter two movies. She was also Tenchi’s mother (so…er…Kiyone again!) in OVA3.

      Yeah,I was going to guess Kiyone. bth_kiyonespritegif.

      It’s the type of character she would play.Though I think Mihoshi would also be another good guess

      since she also played Rushuna in Grenadier.

      Does anyone here know any way of contacting Jack Fletcher (Tenchi voice director from 1994-1997)? I’m having trouble crediting some Tenchi Universe voice actors on BehindTheVoiceActors (such as Amarube, Sagami, Tessei, Tetta, a few others). The credits are no help at all since they just give a generic list of the main voice actors (Julia DeMita, Michael Sorich, Michael Scott Ryan, John DeMita, and others were never credited, despite being key cast members). I sent Debi Derryberry an email about Amarube, since there’s a good sporting chance she might know (since she voiced his partner Yura), but she had no clue (though she believed it might have been Sherry Lynn, which of course isn’t right). Voice directors are ALWAYS the ones to talk to when confirming roles.

      Anyway, if anyone has ANY info at all, that would be AWESOME.

      Bah. I still can’t find anything for K. T. Vogt other than she’s now in the Oregon Shakespeare Festival troupe as someone doing something.

      I’m really going to have to track her down when I’ve got my anime is needing voices.

      According to ANN she was also in the following anime:

      1.Dragon Slayer

      2.Final Fantasy:Legend of the Crystals

      3.Psycho Diver

      4.Princess Mononoke

      5.Pet Shop of Horrors

      Unfortunately it didn’t list any non-anime roles she may have had.She’s listed as Kate T. Vogt there.Also

      unfortunately no link to any official page either. 😡

      Looking at Yokoyama Chisa I suddenly thought of Shinguji Sakura from Sakura Wars and not Sasami for some reason.

      😆

      And how old was Ryoohki’s seiyuu in that photo? She looks like she’s just a kid.

      We had talked about this awhile ago but, because Jay Hopper is MIA and Bob Pappenbrook is no longer with us, Katsuhito and Nobuyuki will have to get redubbed, and my first thought was a great Funimation replacement would be the narrator for Space Dandy

      R. Bruce Elliot

      Hmm, R. Bruce Elliot is a good pick, if say Ai: Tenchi Muyo was dubbed at FUNimation’s in-house studio itself, but given the number of LA based actors in the series, I’d assume they’d have an LA studio once again dub the show with said classic characters.

      Do we know if they’re actually going to try to get the same VAs? Just saying there are a lot of ‘IFs’ here before we even think of the dubbing.

      Oh of course not, we don’t even know if FUNimation will get Ai, it’s just assumed.

      The biggest issue is the fact the seiyuus for Ai haven’t been announced yet, and going by what FUNimation did with Ghost in the Shell: ARISE in which, the Japanese cast is complete different from the previous casts and that’s FUNimation’s defense for the reason it has a different English cast than the previous ones as well, i.e. “The Japanese cast is different too!”

      So…Ai’s seiyuu cast is what I’m curious about the most at the moment.

      Yes,I agree that it would be important to know who the Japanese cast in the original version first before we go all out to speculate about the North American cast.It would be fun to have Orikasa Ai back as Ryoko again. soawesome1 soawesome1

      Though they might do a Sailor Moon and have an all new cast with the exception of one or two.

      As regards to Funi as I noted in the 20th Anniversary thread:we don’t even know if they would get the license,

      it’s all speculation based on the fact that they have the rights to the rest of the franchise.

      That said Orikasa Ai and Petrea Burchard are probably the two that we all hope get a chance to return.

      Chisa Yokoyama, the 44-year-old lead voice actress in Sakura Wars and other anime, reported on her blog on Monday that she gave birth to her first child. She did not specify on her blog whether the baby is a boy or a girl, but Yokoyama’s friend Ai Orikasa congratulated her on Twitter for her baby girl.

      Yokoyama said her water broke the night before and she was in labor until morning. At noon, the doctors told her that the baby’s heartbeat was fading, and they had to perform Caesarean section. The baby was born healthy, and Yokoyama posted a photo [go to ANN- N.].

      Yokoyama announced her pregnancy in April, saying that she was worried because her pregnancy last year ended in a miscarriage.

      Yokoyama married Chaka, the bassist of the rock band Tripolysm, in 2009. She is best known for voicing the lead character Sakura Shinguji in the Sakura Wars game and anime franchise. She also voiced Sasami in the Tenchi Muyo! franchise, Yuna Kagurazaka in Galaxy Fraulein Yuna, and more recently, Biscuit Krueger in the ongoing Hunter × Hunter anime.

      Mihoshi: Rebecca Forshtadt,Ellen Gerstell

      Washu: Jennifer Hale

      Sasami: Brina Palencia

      The majority of what people have chosen to replace the original cast, I did not like Ai Orikasa in OVA 3 or GXP. She would be perfect doing the voice for a child Ryoko, but not adult.

      There is something I may have come up with for selecting voice talents. The obvious experienced and well known VA’s would be chosen first, but previous experience and/or time in vocational occupation/class are also valid criteria. Petrea Buchard mentioned in a podcast that she took a Shakespeare class and felt that it help her with voice work. Steve Downes the voice of master chief in the halo series is a radio host in Chicago. While the best voice talents are highly sought for, failing those, a search for voices outside of anime, games, and animated movies would have to be strongly considered. A look in other pools of voices could yield unexpected finds in talents.

      Though this is just my opinion.

      I have ALWAYS said that the quality of current English Dubbed anime would be 10x better if it adopted the mindset that Disney and Pioneer had where they would look for talent outside of the pool of already established talent.

      While this does present certain problems for continuity later on in shows that continue, ultimately, the biggest hurdle to this great idea is the almighty dollar, companies want to spend as little as they can on a show, which clashes with looking for stage actors especially, who actually get paid for the majority of their work outside of anime, lol.

      In the case of Ai, it might come down to how committed the company, or people working on the show are. There are two cases that I know of, of commitment to a project. The director of Metal Gear Solid spent his own money to bring back the voice actors for the remake of the first game. Also the people for Hellsing brought back almost all the voices back for Hellsing Ultimate which is awesome. Whoever gets Tenchi Muyo, will have to live up to the bar if they want to make money, 20 years of still being remembered, Negishi directing Ai, loyal fans, and the funded and success of Tenchi Muyo Ai by the city of Takahashi. If they get too cheap and half-@$$ the voice work for the dub, they might as well be asking to be flipped off.

      What would do this thread some good if there was nominations or a site for people outside of animation that could be added in the pool. I have no idea of any person of anime outside of animation dubbing, so anyone please add nominations of persons that have a great voice or vocational skill it would give a nice boost to dubbing in general.
