I just updated my site with them. Click my sig for clips from Lucario as well and other details.

Comic-con Conference
Voice Actors Clip

I want you guys to comment on the Lucario changes, since this is the only community that probably really cares. I can't believe they re-mixed the Regis and messed up on Ho-Oh/Mew! It made them sound less scary, and 4Kids pulled their last stupid with changing Ho-Oh's voice. They also made Kid sound like she was going bankrupt and needed to be more desperate or something. Anyways, what do you guys think?

Is it unreasonable to not expect an 18-year-old to be able to play the part of a boy well? Now, on the other hand, Yamada Fushigi (Masato) is 46, Matsumoto Rica (Satoshi) is 37, and KAORI (Haruka) is 30.

Well, then again, to her credit, it does sound somewhat like Ash,, even if not Satoshi.

Speaking of Rica, she says that her voice has been affected by these 9 years of playing the part. I would like to believe she was speaking normally on the podcast, but it sounds just like Satoshi to me. (Which makes her request to practice the part of Satoshi before reading a short script all the more hilarious.)
 
Brock's voice has gone from peverted, to sexy.

Does Ash's VA have any previous anime roles, she sounds familliar...

EDIT; Was that the new opening for season 9 in the comic con clip?
 
The voices are all very much improved. Definitely. New Ash was never that problematic with me in the first place but the recast one is dead on. Not quite Veronica Taylor and the "I've got amazing Pokemon Battle skills" line was a bit off :/. The rest in the clip sounded on the mark though.

Also new theme > the rap thing. Though it sounds like a Japanese Engrish song really.

New Brock is vastly improved. May sounds like a ten year old again, Max still sounds better than he ever has in any language, so overall it's looking good, definitely better than it did in April.

Of course, we all already know that there are some people who wont accept the improvement at all and still whine on about the old VAs so bleh.
 
I think that Ash sounded a bit girly before the opening song, but after that, pretty much hitting the nail on the head. Brock improved DRASTICALLY, if he could get a bit more raspy, he would be just as good as Eric.

May doesn't sound like she needs to be in a nursing home anymore. God, the new VA of Max sounds just like the old one, which is a good thing.

Overall, give a few episodes, and they will be just as good as the old VA's.
 
The voices were indeed alot better than the ones from April and it is nice to hear that PUSA will "try" to keep the dub as much like the Japanese as possible.
 
Damn, I'm impressed. This is 1000 times better than the first dub of Mastermind.

Ash sounds a tad too girly but this voice will definitely improve. Wheee, May sounds young and energetic again! And Brock is the one who improved the most.

Misty, Prof. Oak and Max were fine. They all sounded the same from the original Mastermind dub, but they were the good ones to begin with.

Too bad we didn't hear Team Rocket. :/

All we need now is good voices for Drew and Harley, and this will be great!
 
I heard from a forum that PUSA had contacted Harley's VA and that he would be working for PUSA now. Not sure if it's true, though.
 
That would be great, Harley had one of the most perfect voices ever.

Anyone else think May sounds a tad too much like Misty now? When Misty says, "Hi I'm Misty" followed by "Hi, I'm May!" they sound kinda alike.

Are Misty and May played by the same person? If so, I hope she can differentiate her May voice better.
 
The Mastermind clip is a definate improvement. Season nine may yet be bearable.

Yes, and it's also in the Battle Frontier video.

Were there any clips that were in the Advance Battle opening?
 
Ah, I hadn't been to Pokebeach yet today.

That's all from Spurt, though it's interesting to note that they use more episode footage in the opening than 4Kids ever did. (With the exception of Chronicles since hoso didn't have a usable opening.)
 
WOW, what an improvement! Ash and Max sound nearly identical to their old VAs, Brock is much better now, and May... sounds a lot like Misty, but that's no problem since I like Misty's voice better anyway. And Andrew Rannels might be staying? Yay! Now the only characters left to worry about are Team Rocket and Drew. My favourites... typical. lol.
