why did Hayden Panettiere stop voicing kairi?

[KHPandaZ 1]

I know its been a few years, and there is probably a thread for it but i cant find an answer anywhere and i was just wondering if anyone on here could help me.

So please tell me why she stopped voicing kairi?

I do like Alyson Stoner as a VA(especialy for Xion) but i prefered Hayden Panettiere for Kairi

Pretty simple. Her voice is too old. At least for 14-year-old Kairi. But, Sora's still voiced by Haley Joel Osment...maybe it's because of Heroes then? I don't know...DX

I suppose thats the same reason why Brittany Snow didnt voice namine after KH2. For the too old reason ah well hopefully KH3

Hayden Panettiere should be the voice actor of Kairi. So what if her voice is old so is Sora and Riku's.

Riku's is still the same since KHI...0-0

I am going to be PO'ed if Alyson Stoner and her obnoxious voice play Kairi in KH3.

It is because they are busy with other movies, tv shows, lost interest in it, or etc. They are not necessarily too old for the parts, since some other characters still have the same VA's now. I think it is just they are too busy working on other projects.

I dont mind her as xion but i agree that she is a terrible kairi

[roxas is da one 1]

i don't think she is that bad at Kairi she is preety good i guess

[im-axel-fear-me-NOW 10]

Shes not lil Kairi! and thank heavens...

 

no,no, Its not age either...heck its cause of soemthing ladies and gentalmen called the real world. were people,and money make things happend. it sa dangerous and currpt biz,but hey....hollywood,life,and evil casting directors,also cuase it was a short fad they were goign throught, some one was like "HEY LETS HIRE DISNEY KIDS,WE DON'T PAY THEM AS MUCH,AND THEY HAVR TO DO IT!" and it was like that ever since!

It might not be that she stopped voicing her. Hayden didn't play Kairi for Days and CoM, but there are several factors that are taken into consideration.

 

For one thing, her character was younger in both games. Another is that the two were relatively low budget, and there's of course the possibilty of Hayden being too busy. Alyson might've been chosen to provide a younger voice and because it would be cheaper to hire her.

[rho 9]

Heroes is cancelled, so hopefully she can voice Kairi in future games

[Sora Riku Kairi 0]

The older Kairi in KHBBS, Kairi's voice sucks as hell.

[Rue 3]

of course it does! ALyson is Kairi....Hell on earth! lol right?

 

Well,Lets see...

Hayden isn't that bussy they could edit and rehire her. she did have a lot of stuff on her plate. Also her voice isn't that different she can still voice Kairi.

[Reversal 53]

So about two weeks ago, I found a confirmation for Alyson reprising her role as Xion, but Kairi was questionable. I'll go see if I can find it again.
