Give Willa Holland Another Chance as Aqua

[DAMN 80]

ya they usually NEVER have more than one ORIGINAL character be played by the same voice actor (cept for the "clones/replicas" of people) And ya i know Rikku is a FF character but same thing, and ya Diz did be voiced by Corey Burton who did many ther voices but still thats different cuz of doing Disney characters NOT Sqaure/KH characters in doing more than one

They don't do that cuz there's rarely any voice actor/actress that are as good and versatile as Tara is.Seriously you cannot dispute her talent she has voiced so many different types of characters and did so well in almost all of them...she is probably the most versatile VA i know

If they fire Willa(or if Willa chooses to not reprise her role whichever it may be) Tara would be an excellent choice for Aqua

 

Though if I had to pick someone to leave it would not be Willa...it would definitely be Hayden as Kairi cuz Hayden is the only one who can't voice act...I always hear Hayden when I hear Kairi speak...ALWAYS

She needs to be replaced

Hayden is 10x as famous as Willa and she comes back for every game.  Haley Joel Osment and Jesse McCartney are arguably just as famous/busy as Willa.  Waste of time making this thread.

What the firetruck?

 

Kairi/Xion? You mean Kairi/Namine. Xion is a replica formed by memories of Kairi that was personified.

 

Alyson Stoner should remain Xion and Hayden does Kairi/Namine.

 

Where did this misconception that Xion was like, Kairi's nobody? That is Namine...

 

*sigh* Ontopic. Willa must return!

I liked Willa. I actually liked Jason Dohring (Terra) too, and I LOVED Jesse McCartney. TBH none of the VAs bother me. Though Xaldin sounds kinda weird in KH HD...

[RoxSox 3,593]

NO. NO MORE PETITIONS.

I loved her performance. I think everyone in the game sounded swell. BUT NO PETITIONS.

Especially one as pointless as this. There hasn't been anything suggesting they'll change. Who the hell petitions against a hypothetical change?

because it will show fan support etc. 

and encourage her to return maybe

i'm basing it on what apprently Sqaure has decided to do with the casting, have u noticed that they BOTH have the same VA in EVERY game that they r in together?

she did NOT come back for Days, Re:Com and 1.5

Idk who you're talking about but Kairi and Aqua were not in days or re:com. Hayden was kairi in 1.5 and aqua wasn't in 1.5 so back to the point. I have no clue what you're talking about. /waste of time

In the end, all should have different VAs, as Namine and Xion have different births tbh. Namine through the releasing of Kairi's heart when Sora died, Xion through the memories of Kairi giving a puppet an identify... In the end, 3 different VAs work best as neither Namine nor Xion are "true" Nobodies for Kairi, despite Namine clearly being Kairi's Nobody as proved by KH2.

KAIRI WAS IN RE:COM! and DAYS briefly and i meant the NEW 1.5 stuff, Duh!

You're a confused person. This is my last post on this thread

[Riku21Terr 214]

go watch the cutscenes from Days/1.5 and Re com on this site, KAIRI is in those games and what i meant by "New 1.5 stuff" is obviously the Days cutscenes

[Philip Ellwell 5,487]

Yeah but even when Jesse voices Roxas and Ventus, you can really hear the effort he puts to make their voices and the way they speak different.

Yeah: Roxas is lower in pitch, more mature-sounding, while Ventus is care-free, and a bit higher.

I don't know why they'd get rid of her, I thought she did an amazing job. Terra on the other hand I wouldn't mind as long as it still sounded kind of the same. But I thought Willa did an amazing job.

[juma086 263]

I didn't have a problem with her voice acting, but I can see why others might have had a problem with here. However, she IS Aqua. We can't have a new voice every game. She'll do better in KH3.

Am I the only one who has people think bad VAs are good while decent VAs are considered horrible? Maybe it's just me... (Looking at you old Megaman BN forum)

 

I still want her voice back. I hate when you get accustom to the voices, then bam it's all different. Even worse if said "bad" VA gets replaced with one that does worse lol.

[CardCaptorDeadpool 386]

Willa Holland is an impeccable actress with great range. No offence but I think some of this mind boggling criticism stems from people who listened to the original Japanese dialogue and it tends to skew their opinion of localisations because of the inevitable comparisons. I'm not looking to piss anyone off but review your opinion, is Willa really that bad? 

 

For that matter was Jason really bad as Terra? I thought he carved out an interesting lost but stoic figure. I mean everyone's got their own opinion but it wouldn't hurt to have a more open mind!

[Kittenz 4,281]

Interesting...cuz If i had to complain about any VA it's Hayden.I always hear Hayden when I hear Kairi speak...it's so annoying and unnatural compared to her Japanese Voice Actress where it feels perfectly natural

 

And also some of the lines they give her at times can be cringeworthy

Like for example in the final scene in KH1

 

Japanese Dialogue:

Sora:I'll come back to get you someday...don't worry(something like that can't remember)

Kairi:It's a Promise

 

English Dialogue:

Sora:Kairi remember what you said back there? I'm always with you...I'll come back to you...I promise

Kairi:I KNOW YOU WILL!!!!!!(Cringeworthy to the Max)

 

And then there's that cringeworthy delivery

"It's my Lucky Charm...Be sure to bring it back to me"...god that shit makes me cringe

I thought it was fine...heartfelt even....

 

 

I'm a girl so her voice seems perfectly fine to me. It frustrates me that you say a normal teenage voice is ''Cringeworthy''
