I don't keep up with the show that much but how many times have the VA's been changed? Like 6 at this point?

Gumball sounds a lot like original him which I like but I'm not feeling Darwin.

2.

B-but the second voices were the best, I was okay with the first voice change because they sounded appropiate but this? This new Darwin sounds nothing like the other two, new Gumball sounds okay but he doesn't have that sassy voice like the second one.

Fuck, I'll miss Jacob and Terrel.

You gotta be rusing me, I thought for sure just from catching the occasional episode it was at least like 4 times including this one. Huh.

they've gone with a set of VA's each 2 seasons so far

>that profile joke tho

The new voice actors almost sound like girls to be honest.

They sound pretty much identical to me, maybe a little off.

More trap Gumball soon, hopefully

Can someone rip this episode and give us a link to download?

Lot like the first ones as well. Must have gone younger.

Alright, who among you niggas predicted this

darwin doesn't have his old high pitched squeak and he also sounds a hell of a lot blacker. It's going to be interesting to see how the VAs develop their characters

Nobody.

Just try fuck hard to get adults to voice them, stop going to more kids.

>these constant changing of their VAs means the writers really don't want both of them to grow up
DEEPEST LORE rite?

I like them

No, it's just really lazy writing. If the show had balls it would evolve and stop using the void as a makeshift status quo resetter.

Gumball has changed twice now (season 1-2, then Season 3-4 + a bit of 5).

As far as I know, this is the first time Darwin changed.

The second voices were shit. S1-S2 voices were the best. The new Gumball's voice is pretty good too.

Gumball's voice actors ranking

>One true Gumball tier
Logan Grove

Isabel Martiñón
Junko Takeuchi

>shit tier
Jacob Hopkins

>liking Narutoballs
>liking 'old woman who can't scream' gumball

pathetic

Better than the kid who scream every single line

>jokes that are based on the character freaking out
>jokes that are based on the characters acting irrational
>screaming not allowed

go watch a high brow adult comedy if you're bothered so much by theatrics

New VAs? I wonder how they explained it this time.

Gumball is good, but Darwin is a little off.

Is it because of the greedy Simpson VAs ruining the industry for everyone as I learned in a thread last night?

That was great.

Explain?

First off, we've only head a few lines from the "new" voice actors. Secondly, the new Gumball VA, from the preview, sound almost exactly like Jacob.

There is a reason why I put new in quotation marks in my other reply. I believe these third voice actors are only a temporary set of replacements. The circumstances of this replacement just seem so strange. Not only did nobody announce the replacements were going to happen but Jacob and Terrell were at the CN recording studio as recently as August. In fact, I have proof of my statement right here:
whosay.com/status/jacobhopkins/1232632
instagram.com/p/BJggus9DGBP/

Conclusion: there might be a chance that Gumball and Darwin will be getting older soon and they're just using temporary VAs that sound more childish before the growing up episode happens.

See:

Holy fuck.

I know The Gumball VA had trouble because he was getting older, but if this is the case they replaced him or Darwin that makes me pretty mad.

Can't be that when the first VAs lasted for three seasons

>As far as I know, this is the first time Darwin changed.
No, actually. Darwin & Gumball both reset at the end of "The Kids"; Gumball's new VA at the time was more noticeable, though.

Seasons 1-2: Kwesi Boakye
Seasons 3~5: Terrell Ransom, Jr.

oh, you've gotta be shitting me. I liked the current voices

New VAs sound the same as the old ones to be honest

Let's not also forget: Gumball proto-episode: Nicky Jones

They both sound fine, but is right. I hear girl in Darwin's voice.

I also agree with . Once the second voices grew into the role, they were fucking great.

I dont quite beleive this, they specifically site Ben 10 but Tara Strong has been voicing kid Ben for the whole 10 years.

This is true. He sounds like Little Bill

I can't really make any difference at this point. They both sound fine to me, but Darwin does sound a little more effeminate.

Anyone gonna rip it? It's up on CN's website:

cartoonnetwork.com/video/gumball/the-ollie-episode.html

I imagine in this case, it's because they cast kids and then their voice breaks. It happened in Loud House with Lincoln and they changed his VA midway through Season 1.

Young girls are more commonly voiced by adults, so it's only the young boys it happens with.

>they changed his VA midway through Season 1.
That was fast

Hopefully the new one is actually good

It was near the end

I think Darwin's VA actually is a girl

He's meh. Which makes him the perfect match for the show.

Honestly, the new VAs sound a bit like Lincoln and Clyde and that really throws me off, they lack the snarky tone of the previous sets of voices.

They only did the first episode of season three and that episode made it painfully obvious that either they go the South Park route and just raise the pitch artificially even if it meant they would never sound like actual children again or have their roles replaced by a new duo of voice actors.

I wouldn't say entirely. Gumball's voice already sounded much deeper in the beginning of season two than he did in any of the season five episodes yet they kept Logan on the role for one more season.

Do we got a name for the new actors?

In Clarence, every single girl is voiced by an actual kid, while on the boy side of things Clarence, Sumo, Belson, Percy, etc. are voiced by male adults

Eh. Didnt like how original Lincoln was always tripping over his words. Harvey Beaks has some good kid VAs though.

Also funny how both Timmy Turner and Ben 10 are ten, yet Timmy is more high picthed. FoP got off lucky, since now modern Ben is the one that sounds off.

I wouldnt doubt it.

Harvey Beaks' voice acting is godlike.

This is the truth

The new episode is apparently on dailymotion but I wasn't able to find it, anybody got a link?

why didn't they just get women VAs for Gumball and Darwin so they don't gotta worry about puberty

here friend

dailymotion.com/video/x546gfk

Nothing wrong with child actors for a show like Gumball (when they're good, but that applies to anyone of course). They even made a whole episode about changing actors.

They should just castrate a child actor so his voice won't deepen

why did they change the voices midway into the season instead of at the beginning
new darwin sounds too black

Thank you buddo!

Darwin always sounded black, though.

>new pair of VAs for Gumball and Darwin
JUST

thanks user!

That could also be attributed to them expecting Season 2 to be the last at some point too. Logan sounded really deep in some episodes but at the same time they did go back and forth and digitally pitch his voice up to make him sound younger in there too. Compare his voice in The Bumpkin (normal) to The Plan (pitched) for instance.

It felt like they were feeling out what they could do with it and when it became clear that even with the pitch he sounded too old (with him still being pitched in The Kids and sounding noticeably different) they decided to recast him and Kwesi.

I imagine with this they didn't want to delay the inevitable again because you can tell int he last few Season 5 episodes that the VAs were being digitally pitched again.

Nah, Darwin's is Donielle T. Hansley. Gumball's is Nicolas Cantu, who's also voicing Curly in the Hey Arnold TV movie next year.

Thank you anonfriend

>that animation sequence at the end
This show always has something neat going on.

This shit is why I love this show

Darwin isn't a bad VA, he just sounds different from the last two. Doesn't sound sweet and innocent at all which is basically his entire character.

Same style that they used the last time their VAs changed.

I would say that if Jacob didn't publicalky demonstrate his Gumball voice to the public in November if last year (around the time he recorded his last episodes).

Link to interview (skip to around 0:45):

Also, for some strange reason, Jacob's voice has remained in a perpetual "just starting at puberty" state since he first started going through it. Here is a link to an interview from this October (eleven months after the Fanlala interview):
youtu.be/dkXjcvJJIKk

there's like a whole minute where the audio is little more than porn samples, i wonder if this is how they save up on voice acting

w-what?

6:35 - 7:05

>gumballs voice

Anais still voiced by Kyla Rae? Gotta love that job security when you're a girl in the industry, I guess.

Girls have pretty voices

The thing is even that tone is totally off from how Gumball could reasonably sound, and it would only get worse over time. With him sounding like that you're able to see why they had to pitch the voices in some previous Season 5 episodes. I feel that going that route of digitally altering it is something the engineer or director just may not really like resorting to also. They may see it as a thing where it's like "what's the point of even going thru the trouble of casting kid actors if we have to basically do the South Park thing since they can't totally pull it off on their own anymore"?

Yeah, though at this point she sounds like she's the same age as her brothers instead of being several years younger. I doubt they'd have to worry about recasting her unless the show goes on for like 4-5 more years or something.

Can someone post a link to the new mega?

It's obvious you just skimmed through my comment and the video.

Firstly, if you would had actually watched the first interview fully and heard him doing the Gumball voice, you'd hear something almost exactly like his early season 5 voice coming out of his natural vocal cords (no digital pitching used at all).

Secondly, as I said in my previous reply, Jacob has for some reason entered a period of stunned growth which I have no explanation for.

To be honest though with the whole VA change, I just want an user or somebody else to ask Jacob or Big Ben on Twitter about the whole VA change so that the whole thing can be over with.

That part was so fucking sick. I have so much respect into how much effort this show puts into its animation.

Thanks

>let's split

bump

Thanks user. Damn son, this episode was pretty good.

Fun episode although that one joke with Gumball scoffing went on for a bit too long for me, and that sequence near the end was fantastic.

On the voices I think the new Gumball sounds fine and he just needs to ease himself into it. but the new Darwin's a bit too old/deep. It needed to be higher pitched.

Did crcr do the animation at the end? Love his stuff.

>tfw no handsome kittenbro to teach me how to ollie
>;__;

>handsome kittenbro

Gumball continues to be the best cartoon airing.

...

>that 2D animation sequence
I just realize how shitty the regular animation is. A full 2D tawog would be AMAZING.

>A full 2D tawog would be AMAZING
Isn't the mixed animation styles what makes this show so amazing?

When will Darlie speak?

It is the writing. Full 2D > everything

Bump.

Why did they change VAs again? Hasnt it only been a year or two?
