chrissk08 15 Posted May 16, 2012 Honestly to me he only sounds weird because we're still so used to the jap voices (well i am anyways) Haley is getting pretty old, and Sora looking like a kid with his 16 year old voice just makes it seem a bit more awkward. 1 keyblademaster29 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarLea Quinn 26,501 Posted May 16, 2012 Trailers arent an indication of the finished product .Plus i think there will be more people pissed if they replaced Haley. 1 Robbie the Wise reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 5,571 Posted May 16, 2012 It was clearly the 1st day of voice acting for KH3D. 2 keyblademaster29 and AntonioKHT reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kishira 2,854 Posted May 16, 2012 Omg no, leave poor Haley's preformance alone~~~~~~ he did just fine! Q.Q Everyone will get used to it once they play the game anyway. Trailers arent an indication of the finished product .Plus i think there will be more people pissed if they replaced Haley. *raises hand* I'd be livid if they replaced Haley. 2 keyblademaster29 and Setrex reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheKingdomkid 1,194 Posted May 16, 2012 Sora still has the same voice actor he as had since KH1 and nothing changed if you listen to him talking in KH2 and in Re:coded and compare them to how he sounds in the trailer, they will sound exactly the same i honestly don't see a difference in the voice, I don't think hes trying to sound like he did in KH1 (because that would be stupid if he did) its still Sora his voice is still the same as it has been in KH2, and Re:coded Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junko 2,815 Posted May 16, 2012 yeah he sounded a bit different to me too when i watched the trailer but getting a different voice actor wont be good. i already got used to haley's voice so i rather they not replace him Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CGEire 31 Posted May 16, 2012 I genuinely couldn't hear a difference between his voice in that trailer and his voice in KH2, Re: CoM, and Re: Coded. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keyblade King 12 486 Posted May 16, 2012 Um...he doesn't sound weird at all. There are huge differences between the Jap and Eng voice actors. I listen to both but neither one of them puts me off the other. If anything it makes me understand the different concepts of voices that English speaking countries and Japan have. Also, I don't see why you're bringing this up now? Hayley's Sora voice sounded great. If anything, I think he was trying to bring another level of deepness to it, to show off Sora's growing up, which is a rare skill for voice actors to have. And seriously, you're bringing age into this?! I dare you to check any of your favourite voice actor's ages and compare the characters they play ages. You will be surprised I assure you. Really Haley is still quite young in voice actor terms. 1 Kishira reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xemnasbane 71 Posted May 16, 2012 I agree. Sora's voice doesn't sound different to me. I love Riku's voice! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
replika13 455 Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) umm isnt haley 22 or something by now? thats not so old yet. I would never wanna him leave his role as Sora. To think that he may be voicing Sora in next saga as well Edited May 16, 2012 by replika13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jake uzumaki 1 Posted May 16, 2012 sora sounds like sora the yelling could use a little work but he is still sora the keyblade welider with clown shoes. sora fan right here. "my friends are my power" kh1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Namikaze 654 Posted May 16, 2012 they probaly told him to do a higher voice cuz sora is in his younger form Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deathrebirthsenshi 279 Posted May 16, 2012 While it is cute and nostalgic to play KH1 and hear Sora's high pitched voice, i honestly prefer his voice now. I haven't seen the trailer yet, so I can't really judge if his voice is any different. I think his voice sounded a little forced in re:coded--it did seem a bit like he was trying to sound just a tad higher pitched, but it wasn't bad. If Sora were to be recast at this point in time...GRRR!!! It already bothers me that DiZ's voice changed (although it's not that different) and Ansem SoD's voice. The difference between Namine in KH2 and Re:CoM sends me on edge to, just because I'm anal retentative like that. Plus, Haley Joel Osment is the "I see dead people" kid. He also did that movie "A.I.", which was like a pinnochio story. So he's awesome. THERE. 1 Kinode reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TerraRedeemed 255 Posted May 16, 2012 You guys do realize that Sora in the dream worlds is supposed to be younger than his real world self right? His voice sounds different because Haley is trying to sound younger on purpose. If you listen to Vanitas he sounds just like modern day Sora. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not exactly that it's bad, it's just that...I really don't think it's fitting. Like, at all. (is it the same as Riku's!? 'Cause that's just lazy!) I actually think Haley's doing a fine job with his voice, it sounds pretty good. It's higher pitched to make him sound younger, but it doesn't sound too forced or anything.

keyblademaster29 35 Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) It seems different to me because I've watched the Jap trailers about a thousand times. The only person who sounds weird to me is Roxas. He sounded like was choking on something. Edited May 16, 2012 by keyblademaster29 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bosh104 51 Posted May 17, 2012 In my opinion, Sora and Riku both sounded a tiny bit different (P.S. i LOVED Young Xehanort's voice. Incredible.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenithia 305 Posted May 17, 2012 tutti frutti. I hope that it was among their first attempts at voicing the scripts. Riku sounded fine, as well as YMX, though to me it's hard to picture a younger Sora with an older voice. But I'm sure that for the final product that the voice actors did a better job in playing the part with a better idea on what was going on in the game.

Kello 310 Posted May 17, 2012 First I didn't like it. But then I played Re:Coded and he has the same voice. I just need to get used to it. My boyfriend hates Haley-Sora's voice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryusuke 16 Posted May 17, 2012 He sounds like he's really struggling to sound like he did in KH1...I don't know why they make him do that, his voice was fine where it was. http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smiley-neutral.png Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miminezz 76 Posted May 17, 2012 I love Haley's voice, no one but him can be Sora. He made that role his, and if Haley were to ever be replaced I'd be extremely infuriated! Hell knows no wrath like that of an angry fan. 1 Kishira reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MitsumiXVIXIII 0 Posted June 18, 2012 Haley's going thru puberty most likely...like what happened inbetween KH and KH2 (not sure about COM for GBA)....Or maybe he's trying to sound similiar to KH Sora. I wasn't really paying attention during the trailer...And Roxas and Riku sounded the same. Especially those 2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A mystery 346 Posted June 18, 2012 I thought Sora's voice sounded fine. I wouldn't be the same if Haley Joel Osment didn't voice Sora. David Gallagher also did a great job voicing Riku. I hope they continue thier roles in the future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DG20 67 Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) Sora and Riku sound fine, I'm more worried about Joshua's voice. Edited June 18, 2012 by DG20 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razuthor72 89 Posted June 20, 2012 Sora and Riku sound fine, I'm more worried about Joshua's voice. Yeah they sound good! And I don't think you should worry about Joshua. He sounded pretty fine to me, and I've just been depleting TWEWY. The fact that it's going to be prolonged speech instead of short battle cries and that laugh of his is what's going to be weird to most people. Either way, what's done is done, the game is almost here so we shall just have to wait and see. If it's not to our liking, I'm sure there will be threads about it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
