How come out of all the VA's no one EVER rags on Rachel's performances? I've seen hate for all of the main VA's, but yet Rachel never gets any slack...

Are we all in agreeance that she is that good, or has she just rubbed everyone the right way?
 
Most likely because no one cares about her =P

Other than that, no idea....
 
No one cares about her? Pfft, I really don't think that's the case.

Quite frankly, I don't find a need to rag on her, cause I think she's done a great job with Misty and Jessie.
 
True, I LOVE her as Jessie, she literally made that character just as good as the Japanese version IMO, it just simply fit like a glove...
 
Eh, I really don't know any other characters she does, and I really didn't have any problem with Jessie or Misty.

Stuart has bad rep due to other voices he does, so that's why he is "hated".
 
You don't know any other characters she does? O.O

Hmm, that's strange......


I thought everyone knew that she did this Pokemon's voice:

Jigglypuff


You can even find her name in the credits to Super Smash Brothers Melee, lol. ^^

*loves playing SSBM* XD
 
Ohsubame is Unshou Ishizuka, Ookido-hakase's actor.

I have always liked Rachael Lillis in her roles as Misty, Jessie, and Martina (Slayers).
 
I've noticed that too, actually. I think one thing is that I think she kept Jessie and Misty pretty true to the Japanese version. Fans tend to like that. I remember reading in an article that Jessie's laugh was an imitation of Megumi Hayshibara's. You have someone like Eric Stuart, who sort of took off on a different thing with James, and people tend to either love it or hate it.

And, of course, she's just really talented. She's able to portray comedy and drama. Whenever I hear her in a role, she always has the same amound of energy. There's no time when her characters sound "flat", IMO, which you get with some other VA's.
 
Didn't you mention this on Serebii Pokemaster Justin? And yes there's no real dislike for Racheal Lillis, because she was just great! I've heard samples of Misty's and Jesse's Japanese Vas, and she really kept the spirit IMO. Now I really don't want Jigglypuff to come back, because of the voice it might be given without her :::shrugs:::: hopefully it turns out like Snorlax where there really isn't any difference ^^.
 
And let's not forget Jessiebelle! I love her and I love her voice.
 
Remembering the scene when Jessie captures Seviper... just wouldn't have been as good with the new actress. That goes for James and Meowth too.
 
She did a good job on Jigglypuff, and I can perfectly imitate that. She did a good job on Misty, and I just plain hate Jessie. But I actually like the VA who's doing Misty in my fandub better than Lillis or Knotz. It is Trainer Rachel doing that voice. It's funny, they're both named Rachel/Rachael, just different spellings.
 
I was never a big fan of the American version of the dub, but I was always rather impressed with Rachael's work on Jessie. I think she was my favorite VA in the old dub, along with Maddie.
 
She pulled off a great variety of tone and emotion in her voice, and she always kept Jessie and Misty energetic and pumped, and aggresive when they needed to be. You can't watch episodes like "Ignorance is Blissey' and Misty's goodbye to Togepi and not notice how wonderfully she pulls off those scenes. She's just really talented.

Rachel, you Rock!:party:
 
Rachael has also played the Hoenn Pokedex, Torchic, Poliwag, Horsea, Goldeen, Igglybuff, Jigglypuff, Wigglytuff, and some little kids in the series. I know she played the little girl in Hypno's Naptime that said "And I'm going to be a doctor."
