I've watched so much Super that I'm reasonably confident if you played an audio clip of Nozawa saying a sentence in one of her voices, I'd be able to discern between them and tell you which one it is (aside from Bardock and Turles, I haven't heard them much in Japanese).

[up] Bardock tends to be more along lines of stiff & gruff. Still weird to hear Gohan & Bardock being voice by a woman.

From what I've heard, Daman was Chris` understudy, hence why he sounds so similar. That's the entire point of him taking over for Chris. I can hear a minor difference, but it's basically negligible and you wouldn't even know if it wasn't pointed out.

At this point, I know how Mazako Nosawa voices everyone in the Son family.

The only thing I'm not exactly sure, is how her voice of Black is that different from Turles.

And she's like in her 80's too right?

Incredible. Hard to believe she's been that one character for so long.

Now that I think about it, is her Goten voice the voice she used to use for Kid Goku? I mean, it did change at least a little when he grew up and all.

Experience boy.

In related news, the dub of the Goku Black arc starts this weekend.

T He funny thing about Nozawa is that her Black voice is basically her SSJ 4 voice.

Yeah, Nozawa had a lot of time to perfect her craft. I can't imagine anyone replacing her - she's the voice of Goku family.

In the case of Goku Black Sean might stick to the gruff voice he used in Xenoverse 2 or he may start speaking softer & more serene.

How lucky that Nozawa's SS 4 voice ended up fitting Black like a glove.

I would find that more impressive if it wasn't just her natural voice, with different cadences and such. It's not bad by any means (well, except for how fitting you find the voice) but I'm not really sure I'm getting the "incredible".

Its not so much Nozawa's tones that are great, it's how she gets each character's mannerisms across. Goku speaks like a hick, Gohan speaks more politely, and Goten sounds more like a kid. You can easily tell each voice apart if you notice.

Nozawa is really good but it is tricky to distinguish between the various incarnations of Goku. I need to really pay attention to the tone as it seems that almost everyone sounds the same to me.
