Sean Schemmel... HEEEEEERRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! *
Power Level goes
Over 9000!*
He's
Goku. Plain and simple.
Sean Schemmel started dubbing in 1999. His first (and breakout) role would be the providing the voice for Goku in
Dragon Ball Z (in other words, he became the English voice of possibly the most powerful and famous
Shōnen hero of all time). He originally wanted one of the villain roles, since he only saw a few episodes of the series before being cast, and NEVER knew who Goku was before walking into the recording studio! Once he saw that he was pasted on all the posters on the wall, he realized he was cast as "The Guy"! With
Kai, and new video game adaptations, he is still voicing Goku to this day.
He did some other roles for
FUNimation before moving to New York to work for
4Kids Entertainment. Still occasionally returns to FUNimation, since
Kai is recorded there today, and since
4Kids Entertainment currently has less work available.
He has a MAJOR
voice range; no
pigeon hole there.
And he can scream,
EPICALLY!
This alone makes for
Absolute Crowning Moment of Awesome!
