That's right folks, The Ollie just permiered on VOD and it's the first episode to feature a new pair of VAs for Gumball and Darwin
Plot description: >"When Darwin asks Gumball to teach him how to skate, Gumball makes sure he covers every aspect of the skating lifestyle from wearing the right gear, using the right terms and choosing the right board.
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.
Julian Hill
2.
Gavin Lewis
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.
Joshua Young
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.
Ethan Ortiz
they've gone with a set of VA's each 2 seasons so far
Caleb Morgan
>that profile joke tho
Jackson Phillips
The new voice actors almost sound like girls to be honest.
Aiden Wood
They sound pretty much identical to me, maybe a little off.
Carson Phillips
More trap Gumball soon, hopefully
Grayson Perry
Can someone rip this episode and give us a link to download?
Benjamin Cooper
Lot like the first ones as well. Must have gone younger.
Charles Ramirez
Alright, who among you niggas predicted this
Jaxon Price
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
Adam Edwards
Nobody.
Jaxon Watson
Just try fuck hard to get adults to voice them, stop going to more kids.
Benjamin Watson
>these constant changing of their VAs means the writers really don't want both of them to grow up DEEPEST LORE rite?
Angel Johnson
I like them
Hunter Torres
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.
Thomas Nelson
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.
Christopher Nguyen
The second voices were shit. S1-S2 voices were the best. The new Gumball's voice is pretty good too.
Dominic Thompson
Gumball's voice actors ranking
>One true Gumball tier Logan Grove
>Good tier Isabel Martiñón Junko Takeuchi Nicolas Cantu
>shit tier Jacob Hopkins
Logan Williams
>liking Narutoballs >liking 'old woman who can't scream' gumball
pathetic
Brody Edwards
Better than the kid who scream every single line
Ryder Kelly
>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
Owen Kelly
New VAs? I wonder how they explained it this time.
Alexander Gomez
Gumball is good, but Darwin is a little off.
David Price
Is it because of the greedy Simpson VAs ruining the industry for everyone as I learned in a thread last night?
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.
Juan Rivera
See:
Joshua Howard
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.
Jace Nguyen
Can't be that when the first VAs lasted for three seasons
Michael Parker
>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.
Evan Jones
oh, you've gotta be shitting me. I liked the current voices
Austin Rogers
New VAs sound the same as the old ones to be honest
Owen Brooks
Let's not also forget: Gumball proto-episode: Nicky Jones
Elijah Peterson
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.
Eli Lewis
This is true. He sounds like Little Bill
Zachary Nelson
I can't really make any difference at this point. They both sound fine to me, but Darwin does sound a little more effeminate.
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.
Ryder Cooper
>they changed his VA midway through Season 1. That was fast
Dylan Perez
Hopefully the new one is actually good
Luis Price
It was near the end
Dylan Anderson
I think Darwin's VA actually is a girl
Levi Rodriguez
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.
Gabriel Wright
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.
Asher Carter
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.
Ryder Edwards
Do we got a name for the new actors?
Colton Brooks
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
Nolan Nguyen
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.
Noah Ward
Harvey Beaks' voice acting is godlike.
Adrian Davis
This is the truth
Xavier Gonzalez
The new episode is apparently on dailymotion but I wasn't able to find it, anybody got a link?
Kayden Rivera
why didn't they just get women VAs for Gumball and Darwin so they don't gotta worry about puberty
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.
Grayson Cook
They should just castrate a child actor so his voice won't deepen
Bentley Butler
why did they change the voices midway into the season instead of at the beginning new darwin sounds too black
Joshua Kelly
Thank you buddo!
Aaron Morgan
Darwin always sounded black, though.
Anthony White
>new pair of VAs for Gumball and Darwin JUST
Owen Robinson
thanks user!
Asher Turner
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.
Jayden Gray
Thank you anonfriend
Josiah Smith
>that animation sequence at the end This show always has something neat going on.
Zachary Cooper
This shit is why I love this show
Adam Russell
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.
Juan Cruz
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).
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
Sebastian Reyes
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
Jason Thompson
w-what?
Jack Wood
6:35 - 7:05
Anthony King
>gumballs voice
Benjamin Jones
Anais still voiced by Kyla Rae? Gotta love that job security when you're a girl in the industry, I guess.
Nolan Cooper
Girls have pretty voices
Kayden Evans
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"?
Anthony Sanchez
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.
Noah Nguyen
Can someone post a link to the new mega?
Christian Murphy
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.
Jeremiah Mitchell
That part was so fucking sick. I have so much respect into how much effort this show puts into its animation.
Thanks user. Damn son, this episode was pretty good.
Easton Sanchez
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.
Daniel Watson
Did crcr do the animation at the end? Love his stuff.
Nathaniel Price
>tfw no handsome kittenbro to teach me how to ollie >;__;
Dylan Turner
>handsome kittenbro
Jack Campbell
Gumball continues to be the best cartoon airing.
Nathaniel Garcia

Bentley Harris
>that 2D animation sequence I just realize how shitty the regular animation is. A full 2D tawog would be AMAZING.
Luis Baker
>A full 2D tawog would be AMAZING Isn't the mixed animation styles what makes this show so amazing?
Ethan Anderson
When will Darlie speak?
Asher Hernandez
It is the writing. Full 2D > everything
Jose Flores
Bump.
Hudson Parker
Why did they change VAs again? Hasnt it only been a year or two?
