Favourite Dub Usagi?

[tru0001]

Terri Hawkes (the normal usagi)
Tracey Moore (the usagi in episode 1 and some other episodes)
Linda Ballantyne (Cloverway Usagi)

Which ones do you like?
I love Terri Hawkes and Tracey Moore comes second but OH GOD!!
Linda's voice acting for Serena was horrible!! It sounded too pomish (sorry British Friends) and it also sounded horrible much like eating donuts, throwing them up and eating them up again.... lol

Mitsuishi Kotono.

I would choose Tracey Moore because she didn't do as much of the yodeling Terri Hawkes did, but I generally choose to avoid the English dub altogether.

Omg!! hahahaha I love that yodel! it would quite get annoying some times lol but at least she was a good actress without the yodelling ^^

I remember only knowing of two of the actresses, and that was Tracey Moore and Terri Hawkes (couldn't STAND Cloverway Serena)

Tracey Moore hits me as more of a Serena though. I loved her acting in episode1 when I had it on VHS and, because she was the original to me, I loved her. I was gutted when she wasn't in all of the episodes.

Mitsuishi Kotono > dub actors

Still, I guess I enjoyed Tracey Moore as a kid, I remember trying to laugh like her! I was annoyed when the actor changed to Terri Hawkes. I don't think I've ever seen the Cloverway dub.

As far as the dub voice actresses go, Tracey Moore. :3

I love love love love Terri Hawkes. Her voice is the first thing that comes to mind when I think or hear about dubbed SM. I'm strongly biased though because I grew up listening to her. lol. I like how she manages to make Serena sound semi-mature, yet still childish. After her, Traci is my second favorite.

I strongly dislike Cloverway Serena. It sounds like she's trying waaaaaaaaaaay too hard to emulate Terri's Serena, so it comes off as fake and just terrible in my opinion. She also gets this odd accent now and then, almost reminds me of yodeling or something. (think of the scene where Serena tells Amara and Michelle not to 'go after anymore pure hearts' or something along those lines.) Her tone just has a weird tone value or something, hard to explain.

On the ironic side though, I absolutely LOVE her acting in the Super finale, when she jumps off the platform to save ChibiUsa. It seriously almost rivals the original for me, but just that scene alone. I think she would have made a good Usagi if she stopped trying to copy Terri's style so hard. It just doesn't work.

I liked the first dub actress for Serena better than the two, sounded less adult-like.

Mitsuishi Kotono-san is the best of all!! ^_^
Her voice is the most recognisable and memorable of the original!
Sadly she didnt do all 200 episodes of her role because she went ill in the last parts of the classic and first parts of R

Kae Araki (we know plays Chibiusa) replaces her

Note: It was Mitsuishi-san's Bithday 2 days ago ^_^
Just to let you know

While I preferred the Japanese voice actress, I had to say Tracey.

My only complaint was she played the wor-er, most bastardized character in the entire sh- er, dub. (well, from what I saw, which were 1*mostly*, 5, 7, 21, 29, 30, 31, 39 and 40 *dub numbers, of course*), she didn't do crying that realistically and wasn't used often.

Though the best English voice actress for Usagi is Megami33. Granted, it's in an internet spoof series, but it fits her so well.

agreed ^^

I like Terri Hawkes in the live acting projects I've seen her in, but for some reason her voice projects annoy me. I have no idea why, since she sounds the same either way.

I've spent the last ten years or so trying to avoid seeing the dubs, though. Usagi is so much better than that Serena chick, any day!
