Wendee Lee?

Postby Garylisk » Fri Dec 27, 2002 8:38 pm

She appearently does Su's voice in the dub of Love Hina (As well as Tama and a few other characters), which I can't stand, especially now that I have all the domestic DVDs that they've put out so far. I was just wondering what other dub's she's been in. Because seriously, I had heard her name before, and people say she does a good job.. and after watching the "making of love hina" (WHich is just the making of the dub, not the show itself) on one of the discs, she seems very enthusiastic, and seems to want to honor the original script.. it's just that her acting abilities seem so horrible... so what other dubs is she in? And does she actually act WELL in those dubs? I am just curious... because if she IS truly that bad a voice actress, and if she truly thinks that that caliber of voice acting is good, then maybe that's the reason all.. well MOST.. of the voices in the LH dub are so bad. She directed the dub version, and I am thinking maybe her idea of what it should sound like was tossed around and soon everyone was acting terribly and making those horribly fake sounding voices.

I didn't want this to turn into me griping about the dub, but it kind of did.. but let's forget about that.

In all seriousness, what else has Wendee Lee done?

If she did, I think Faye's voice was done reasonably well, along with the rest of the voice actors of the English dub of Bebop. Just hope we're talking about the same Faye... :)

Yeah, Faye Valentine. I mean, when someone says Faye around here, what other anime character pops to mind :) .

Yeah, well there are a lot of heavy anime watcher's here, so it may have been a Faye from a more obscure anime I've never seen.

She did Faye Valentine, yes. Not a bad job, if I do say so myself. She also did the girl from Ninja Scroll, who's name escapes me at the moment, as well as the girl from Akira. http://voices.fuzzy.com/default.asp has a massive database of voice actors, I'd check there.
Look, a totally shameless plug.

She's old shes hagged out and she was definitley overreaching during the love hina dub. She did too many of the voices and probably too quickly. Su sounds like a fucking tard thanks to her.

Cool thanks. I guess it's just a matter of overwork and coincidence, because I like other voices she has done, expecially Faye and Kione. It's just that the Hina dub is so wretched... And I wonder why the hell thge dubbed Tama. :evil:

Whoa whoa whoa - Tama speaks? Tama didn't even speak in the original!

Or did they have an American do the cooing sounds for Tama?

It's hippy stupid, either way.

She seems to do a lot of Megumi Hiyashibara's roles for some reason: she was in Blue Seed as Momiji, Cowboy Bebop as Faye and N.G. Evangelion as Rei. All of which were voiced by Hayashibara.

Personally I thought the whole dub to Love Hina was a flaming load, Mitsune was the worst, since when to people in Japan have fake southern accents? On an interesting note Hayashibara was also in Love Hina as Haruka, I guess Lee follows here around in a way...

Yeah I watched that on my Love Hina dvd. I really don't like Su's voice. I thought Tama sounded kinda cute.
