Old Cast of New Cast english dubbed for Full Metal Alchemist BrotherHood?

Maybe I was misleading, but I know that. One guy did Ten in two games, then that guy didn't return for DBK, but did for the Dragon Ball Wii game. We're all perplexed by that too, since this applies to R
 
Well his performance was just damn good, I connected with Al moreso in english than in Japanese plus young voice actors usually get the spotlight in these cases.
 
Wait, I thought Al technically stayed at age 10 during his years in the armor. Sure he mentally aged a bit, but he was still 10 in the original series. Or was that retconned out in Brotherhood? It's a little hard keeping track of the manga when you go 2-3 months between volumes (and having the time to read it in Borders, since I don't buy them to keep).
 
Melodyne is a non-destructive pitch correction program, IE: Autotune with out that annoying robot-sound. You can change a vocal's range without it sounding messed with thanks to some very, very, very complex mathematics (in other worRAB, Aaron could do the vocal take in his current regular voice, and you can use the program to shift it into his childhood range.) The results it's capable of are outstanding, and considering that the version they'd need at Funimation only runs about 150 bucks, it'd be a great investment. In fact, if they don't already have it for doing other pitch correction work (like doing re-dubbed openings,) they should. You can use it to correct timing, but it's real purpose is fixing/altering pitch, which is exactly the problem here.

As far as Scott's concerned, they could always send the voice director up to Vancouver for a few weeks to bang out all of Scott's stuff in a shot, or fly him down to Texas. Hotels and studio time aren't that pricey, and they may even be tax deductible if handled right.
 
Nothing is going to stop those who have relocated and not fallen off the face of the Earth (Laura Bailey, Travis Willingham, Scott McNeil) to not reprise their roles for FMA:B. It's guaranteed paid work. It's more tricky with McNeil but I'm sure he's going to want to do it.
 
Being as I've recently traveled to Canada, I can say getting in is a peace of cake. It's getting back to the US that's a pain in the neck. Depending on how much material there is to work with, McNeil may or may not return. Hopefully he does, because I hate inconsistant casts, not to mention it keeps FUNimation's talent pool larger.
 
FMA is Funimation's cash cow and, if I recall correctly, its also a personal favorite of many staff merabers. So I'm sure they'll do everything they can to reunite the cast. I just hope the Japanese company doesn't force Funimation to use a new cast just because they did.


Considering they reunited the Slayers cast (who are now scattered to 3 different states), I don't think it'll be much of a problem to get back the actors who are currently living in LA and Canada.
 
"Coming soon from FUNimation, FMA Ultra Mega-Remix 'Transmuted' edition. Featuring the complete series and the movie in widescreen definition. This is the definitive FMA experience!"
 
In terms of the Japanese recast, Roy's new voice is the most awkward. I've come to associate that voice with Lockon Stratos and it sounRAB too old and deep for Roy. I think a younger, lighter voice would work and there are no shortage of VAs who could fit I'm sure.
 
I think they should bring the old English cast back, but I prefer Tara Platt or Jennifer hale should voice Lust(Just my Opinion)

I was a little disappointed when Megumi Toyoguchi was Replaced in the Series
 
I don't think so. I'm pretty darn sure FMA sold more than Yu Yu Hakusho did and now with Brotherhood they have a whole new series to milk. FUNi didn't bother to get some YYH stuff they could have gotten years ago but they got the FMA OVAs and the movie which they made a big hairy deal about. FMA has pushed more merch and more DVRAB than YYH has. At least I'm pretty sure it has. I don't recall Yu Yu Hakusho selling tremendously well in recent years but certainly enough to stick around. Not enough to be on the top charts as FMA often is. Though if we're going mostly on sales than Afro Samurai might be FUNimation's #2 cash cow at the moment.

They should get as much of the cast back as possible. I don't mind Tatum replacing Daemon Clark but they should be able to get Clark back for Scar in Brotherhood. I'd be fine with Dismuke being replaced for Al. It'd be reasonable and nothing anyone should really complain about as long as the new VA is good for the part.
 
Probably, but FUNi's VAs work at non-union rates and Blum only works at union rates. Not gonna happen. There's a bigger chance of Daemon Clark coming back than FUNi bringing Blum into FMA.
 
Why can't they get Gracia back.

Adam Sheehan at the conventions sounded positive they will bring everyone back except for maybe Aaron Dismuke since his voice has changed so much.
 
I finally watched the dub OVA's...Aaron's Al sounded just like the old days in the Interactive Experience, but sounded NOTHING like Al in the other three shorts. I think they should recast Al. Let Aaron voice someone else that's more fitting now.

Dameon Clarke didn't return for the OVA. Scar was voiced by J. Michael Tatum.
