masterchirox580 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 So then, with a new show for bionicle confirmed I was wondering? Who do you think will play the characters? And who do you want to play the characters? Please list the actors name as well as the character you wish/think they will play. 1 Quote It's time to move on.

Idris Elba as everyone.I've said it in another topic a while ago, and I'll repeat it here: Morgan Freeman as everyone. That would be interesting to see play out.Nicolas Cage as everyone. I'm beginning to detect a trend. I'm not picky about who should play whom, though to be honest I'd prefer professional voice actors over major Hollywood stars. People who specialize in voice acting are not only cheaper to cast than A-list celebrities, but in many cases they also do a much better job, tending to create a distinct voice for the character as opposed to just using their own normal voice. Heck, that's a big part of why I can't come up with a full list—you never really know what a skilled voice actor will sound like for a character until they bring their talent to auditions. 5 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyichir Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 The narrator as the male Toa, a female actor for Gali. Someone more evil sounding for the villains.No, I would definitely not like that. You can have a narrator voicing every one of the characters, or you can have individual voice actors, but if you try to have it both ways it will just wind up sounding stilted and awkward, like the classic theme's audio serials. There's a reason audiobooks generally stick to a single narrator—changing much more than the inflection of a single narrator's voice can ruin the flow of a story, unless you plan to have EVERY character voiced individually. 1 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pahrak Model ZX Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 *tries to think of voice actors I know from things that aren't anime* *forced to confront my weeabo trash lifestyle* *feels like this is a good place for a Vic Mignogna joke but too lazy to properly construct one* But anyway, Chris Sabbat for Onua, as a roundabout way of having Major Alex Louis Armstrong as a Toa. Onua does have canon dialogue regarding the Protector masks being passed down FOR GENERATIONS! (Island of Lost Masks) ...Eh, as for what to expect, who knows, I'm no good at serious guesses. 2 Quote My Library Right of Law (Epics) KARDAS DRAGON appears!

Naota Takizawa Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Can I get Arnold Schwarzenegger voicing Onua? Or even Samuel L Jackson narrating the show? If we had a narrator for everything, we could just get any celebrity with tons of free time, regardless of who they are. As for individual actors donating their voices, I'm not sure who would be suited to the roles.

I want to say that I would watch it regardless of what even happens if anybody was voiced by either Cullen, or Nathan Fillion.

believe victims Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 If we had Tahu voiced by Peter Cullen, I'd hope he'd do a rather different voice than he does for Optimus. Optimus Prime, at least incarnations I've seen, is calm, methodical, and wise, traits reflected in Cullen's voice for him.. and traits emphatically not shared with Tahu. I think the narrator is on the right track with his voice-- something kinda gruff, very brash. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Votuko Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Whoever voices the other characters, it would be nice if the animation narrator voiced Narmoto.That way, LEGO could confirm that the animations are a story told by Narmoto, giving an in-story explaination to the single voice and the focus on Tahu's journey.

Plus I think there is a chance of this happening as a couple of people she works with on FIM have been involved with lego before (including bionicle). It's just that... Tara Strong voices SO MANY CHARACTERS, and she's so often typecasted to use the same "default" voice and... it just gets annoying after a while, you know? Like you hear a character speak and it becomes impossible for you to think "This is Gali speaking," you just think "This is Tara Strong speaking." I dunno. That's kind of how it is for me when voice actors get known for using one voice most of the time. I love her more out there performances, like Raven in Teen Titans, but that doesn't happen much. 2 Quote The Toa- A Bionicle Retelling by NickonAquaMagna http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/25275-the-toa-a-retelling-of-bionicle/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Tahu would, with his usual hot-headed attitude, and I guess the Token Girl always has pretty much the same voice, but Lewa's nature-loving carefree voice doesn't quite fit the more bitingly sarcastic Lewa of G2, Onua's gruff, boisterous characterization didn't even fit him back then, and Pohatu has definitely changed too much for his friendly voice to be fitting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
