I agree 100%. Keep the original op/ed themes, but for the in-ep songs, the VA needs to do them. Kari Wahlgren can sing, though I can't say I've heard her. From her website: Singing: Mezzo-Soprano |

I would love to see the opening and endings dubbed. For crying out loud people, if you don't like switch to the Japanese track! That's why its there if you don't want to listen to English versions of the songs! Some people act like their force to listen to the songs in English or something...

You're right about those three, but I haven't heard them recently in any anime (except maybe Philece Sampler in Bleach as that blond fairy). Brianne Siddall seems to do only union work since I last heard her as Jr. in Xenosaga: Episode III like Lia Sargent. The same could be said for Bridget Hoffman in union work only. We always seem to get older women to voice young boys and they do sound appropiate, but choices seem to be limited. |

I chose #1 for Haruhi. Although none of them pleased me as much, this wass the better choice. The woman also did Haruko from FLCL; so I think she'll do somewhat of a good job with Haruhi.

The link for Itsuki Koizumi doesn't work.
I get: WARNING Your action has created a 404 Error in the space-time continuum. |

Most likely the other polls have already been closed. It does the same thing for Yuki, Kyon, and Mikuru as well. |

I think #1 has it, and here's why (for me):
All the others sound like they are actually asking Kyon a question. #1 is just phrasing her thoughts in the form of questions. Haruhi would never go to Kyon for input- at least, not directly. #1 is the only one who seemed to have that quality. Also, #5 sounded exactly like a happier Faye. |

Ugh, don't remind me of that one.
Like any other dubbed anime song, it will be terrible, and embarassing to watch for the first time with any of your friends that haven't seen it yet and prefer to watch dubs. A little thing like a bad dubbed OP can be all it takes to turn a new fan off to a show. Fortunately, dubbing of an OP or ED is very rare, and I don't think Bandai's ever done it with their shows. |

That's funny... I thought everyone but #3 sounded like they were asking a serious question, hehe. Plus, #1 just doesn't sound quite like Haruhi... |

I have no idea which character this was supposed to be, but I'm shocked that number 5 has so many votes. That was the only one that was so amazingly bad I couldn't stand to listen all the way through.....
 the rest of them were so-so. It's not that their voices are bad (except for #5, who shouldnt be allowed to speak) -- it was that they just can't act and sounded like they were trying way too hard, which is the main problem with English voice actors. This is why I don't watch English dubs unless they are 120% comedies like Bobobo, where being ridiculously bad is a GOOD thing.

Of course, I hope everyone puts this into perspective. In spite the fact of who gets in, the other important factor of making the MoHS dub a complete success is the ADR director (and sometimes the determination of whatever dubbing studio gets this; I'm getting a bigger feeling Animaze is getting this one). You can have the best casting ever, but if the director is not up to it, everything else is pretty much moot point.

Please tell me you didn't vote. It's obvious you don't know who you're voting for or even what the character is like, so please tell me you didn't vote. |

There are probably a bunch of others, but just off the top of my head I know the dubs for Gravitation and Nurse Witch Komugi had moments where the English-speaking characters would suddenly burst out singing in Japanese during episodes that had music concerts. |
