Intolerable VAing?

Luanne's in KOTH. >.< How did Brittany Murphy do such a cute Joseph and such a horrible Luanne?

Rem's voice in Death Note: The Last Name. Yes I know she was male in Japanese, but did THAT have to get dubbed in?
 
I'll tell you something else--in the classic Fat Albert toons, most of the mother characters were all voiced by a female who sounded like she had a rough sounding voice, like she had a bad throat problem.
 
The old Sonic the hedgehog movie basically all the voices in the movie were bad. Couldn't stand them at all the only good thing about the movie was the music.
 
The original VA of Scrappy Doo in his debut year, which is what most fans base their hatred of Scrappy on. Once Don Messick took over the role, the writers started mellowing Scrappy out, and by the time 13 Ghosts rolled around, he was actually a pretty fun character.
 
I can't stand the entire dub of Bleach. The VA's (including Johnny Yong Bosch) are way too stiff. Ironic because Johnny is also on Code Geass, and on there he's on top form and full of emotion.
 
I read an interview on Frederator (that's the name of that website, right?) that had an interview with Daran Norris where he said that Butch Hartman was responsible with coming up with the idea of Cosmo having a higher pitched voice. Such a shame, because that voice makes it even harder to like Cosmo, who has already become a quite unlikable character. I guess we should be happy Norris didn't just come up with that himself and was just following orders...
 
They all sound weird to me, IMO the only tollerable VA's in the show are the ones who voice some of the main little bakugans, and even then they're not that great.
 
The only time I really ever liked Kath Soucie's voice acting was her stint as Amanda in Tomb Raiders Legend and Underworld.

Otherwise, all of her characters sound the exact same and therefore irritating IMHO.
 
Kath Soucie sounds fine when she's voicing adults. Her work as Nerissa was great, especially the subtle difference in her voice between old and young Nerissa. But yeah, all her child voices sound the same for the most part. Adults however, well, Amanda and Nerissa don't sound anything alike, so she has some range there.
 
I think a couple of the adults (such as Dan's parents) sound okay, but that's it. The rest of the cast is either adults who are unconvincingly voicing kids or trying to act all energetic for the monsters and failing epically at that.
 
Linda Ballantyne as Serena in Sailor Moon during S and Super S. What were they thinking? Her voice sounded way too fake and really annoying. Jonathon Todd Ross as Marik in Yu-Gi-Oh! was also hard to listen to a lot of the time, because he made the character sound so high pitched and nasaly. Who's idea was it to make Marik sound like the Green Goblin? Of course, there's also Jason Griffith as Usopp. It sounded more decent when the voice sounded more like his Sonic voice, but most of the time he made Usopp sound way too goofy.

Yep. In fact, Tom Wayland is actually pretty involved with that, both voice work and ADR work under the name Dick Tripwire. He even hosts panels on Hentai dubbing at anime conventions.
 
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnd I've found it.

Disney's "The Secert of the Magic Gourd", an animated/live-action production from Japan. Corbin Bleu voices the Gourd. This is one film that I am going to watch subtitled, thank you very much (not to mentione that live-action dubs=blah.)
