*Characters Voice Comparison - "Android 18"* Japanese Voice: Miki Ito Ocean Group dub: Enuka Okuma (Dragon Ball Z) FUNimation dub: Meredith McCoy (Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Super) FUNimation dub: Colleen Clinkenbeard (Dragon Ball Z Kai) Blue Water dub: Jennifer Bain (Dragon Ball GT) AB Groupe dub: Sharon Mann ( Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks) Bang Zoom! dub: Tamara Ryan (Dragon Ball Super) More Comparison videos coming soon
They're not official, and that is why they never will be. Think about it: if everyone in the world made a good, enjoyable parody of the same character in their spare time, would you say they've all been the voice of this character?
Vox Nihili seeing as they are real voice actors who have done real voice actor roles and the fact that pretty much any DB fan knows who they are, I think they deserve a mention
seeing as pretty much most people recognize them as voice of the characters more than 80% of the "official" voice actors then I say it's counts. Also technically many of them did voice some of the the characters in an Episode of Dragon Ball Z Kai when they voiced the reenactment actors of the cell games
Hell yeah! I got into DBZ right around the Android Saga. The "I don't give a shit" attitude and managing to stay calm usually right up until the shit hits the fan demeanor is why she and 17 are my favorites. It's like they don't care about all the trivial stuff that all the others love so much.
Its kinda weird Meredith's actual voice sounds more girly. Shows how talented she is crazy how she was fujko,Yusuke's mom,Maria in FMA,Launch and Krillin and 18s daughter(Even in GT)
I know it's unofficial, but I really really adore Amber Lee Connors' portrayal of 18. She brings the most heart and soul to the character and sounds the most natural.
I like the funimation dub voice for 18 because from the manga it brings a strong rebelling aspect to her character that gives 18 a real sexy rawness to her from her teens onwards along with that coldness which is badass but is convey well in comparison with the manga. I personally would kept her on in Kai rather than switch her.
i'm not gonna say "meredith mccoy best because she is," but her calm cool collectedness is what 18's all about. this is like the one mistake Kai made lol. she shouldn't be a "girly girl," it just makes her flat. also hot damn if enuka okuma ain't a close second to her tho
Oscar Flores Colleen Clinkinbeard should be fired from funimation. Her voice just sounds like nails on a chalk board. Her voice for Bulma sucks. Like every character she voiced sounds shit.
Clinkenbeard didn't voice Bulma. That was Monica Rial you're thinking of. ...If you meant to say Kid Goku/Gohan instead of Bulma in your last comment, however, then that's another story (not going to agree with you on that last part, however).
@@HazelEyes485 Idiot, it's Monica Rial who does Bulma's voice in Kai and Super and she's easily the 2nd best Bulma we've ever had behind Hiromi Tsuru (R.I.P).
My opinions of the English voices... Meredith McCoy's voice fits 18 the best. Enuka Okuma sounds damn-near identical to McCoy. Jennifer Bain's not to shabby, either. Sharon Mann has the right voice type, but sounds a bit too energized in the performance. Colleen Clinkenbeard, though...it seems more of a miscasting than anything else. Her performance would be fine if given to a different, more fitting character. Same goes for Tamara Ryan.
i know this is old but i agree the girl colleen they casted for the english voice in kai really doesn't fit well. i only recently noticed different voice actors in remakes and such. colleen does have a cute voice but it just doesn't work. i think it was when i was rewatching kenichi histories strongest desciple when miu's voice actor changed did i really start taking notice. it was the ova when i noticed and found out the original girl had died in 2011 which sucks because she also voiced soi fon in bleach which makes me wonder who will voice her in the upcoming 1000 year war anime
Sharon mann was energetic because c18 was fighting with trunks on this panel , and trunks made her mad , so thts why she was pumped and energetic to finish him off.
@@Skunkytime96Her voice acting for Future Mai is actually really great and underrated imo. Tho I do agree that her va for Kid/Teen Gohan and Kid Goku is terrible and extremely overrated by her fanboys.
There’s an important part we missed here for Colleen. In the Final Chapters Kai, her voice performance is far more closer to Meredith’s than in the Android to Cell sagas higher pitch performance.
@@darthahsoka3518Stupid comment. They sound similar mainly because BOTH Android 18 and Launch are played by Meredith McCoy. I mean I like Colleen's va for 18 too, but yeah simps need to stop treating her like she's Jesus Christ and better than everyone else.
I actually prefer Enuka. She managed to sound more bitchy and as though she likes being arrogant. It's a kind of calm arrogance. She also has quite a lot of depth. Meredith is a very close second -- she sounds very similar and gets the intonation just right, but she is a little bit more monotonous.
Shaun N Ince definitely and we also have the live action stars as well. It's cool how Cage is Superman as he once auditioned for the part, and he has a son called Kal-El.
Meredith does it best. Okuma gets it reallllllly close but there's some inflections that could be reworked a bit, but that's more the director's fault than hers.
Does anyone know exactly why Meredith Mccoy didn't make into KAI and the rest of that period? If i'm not mistaken, she's in Tenkaichi 3, the last DB video game I played, as well as in Raging Blast, but didn't return until "Battle of Gods" Movie and Xenoverse onward.
She sounds way more mature in Super. Meredith McCoy still sounds quite young. Then again, she started voicing the character in her early 20s while Miki Ito started in her early 30s, not to mention almost 10 years before Meredith. So Miki was in her 50s while voicing her in Super while Meredith was in her late 30s/early 40s.
Oh god what is Clinkenbeard 18 voice? They replaced TWO great actresses in Kai with her and her voices for both of them are inferior. Gohan by a bit, 18 by a LOT.
@@ryuuseiSoul Agreed. Here's also a small list (also top five IMO) of roles in anime and video games she played that I are my favorites of her career, including Android 18: 1. Mayura Labatt (Battle Assault 3 featuring Gundam SEED) 2. Rosamia Badam (Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam) 3. Frieza (Dragon Ball GT, alternate English dub) 4. Manon Chapman (Mobile Fighter G Gundam) 5. Android 18 (Dragon Ball GT, alternate English dub)

TeddyKGaming why don't you ever include DBZA voices? They are iconic and desevere a spot
They're not official, and that is why they never will be. Think about it: if everyone in the world made a good, enjoyable parody of the same character in their spare time, would you say they've all been the voice of this character?
Vox Nihili seeing as they are real voice actors who have done real voice actor roles and the fact that pretty much any DB fan knows who they are, I think they deserve a mention
Sure thing. Just as soon as they play the character officially....... any year now.
seeing as pretty much most people recognize them as voice of the characters more than 80% of the "official" voice actors then I say it's counts. Also technically many of them did voice some of the the characters in an Episode of Dragon Ball Z Kai when they voiced the reenactment actors of the cell games
I am a sucker for Meredith's more deadpan and laid-back take.
Doodlebug Four 😎 I agree
Hell yeah! I got into DBZ right around the Android Saga. The "I don't give a shit" attitude and managing to stay calm usually right up until the shit hits the fan demeanor is why she and 17 are my favorites.
It's like they don't care about all the trivial stuff that all the others love so much.
Meredith will always be 18! Hated that she didnt do kai
Amber Lee Connors in Abridged Version of Dragonball Z but yeah Meredith McCoy!😆🥰😍And Colleen Clinkenbeard
Her voice was the most android like with the subtle hint of human emotion. Was so sad to hear she didnt do Kai.
Ya'll just gonna ignore the fact that Meredith and Enuka sound nearly identical?
roxasora541 DEADASS ASS BRO
They sound similar, but Enuka sounds like she's trying too hard
One Dixie Cup Just For You that what makes it's good
Enuka and Meredith are the voice of Android #18, same as Alyson Court is the voice of Claire redfield.
Miss her too. R.i.p Claire.
Funimation was Copying Ocean dub back then.
Meredith will always be the most fitting to me personally, and it's funny cause she actually looks like 18 too. lmao
GohanOXG ye
yeye
True she's does it the best
Its kinda weird Meredith's actual voice sounds more girly. Shows how talented she is crazy how she was fujko,Yusuke's mom,Maria in FMA,Launch and Krillin and 18s daughter(Even in GT)
No she doesnt
I know it's unofficial, but I really really adore Amber Lee Connors' portrayal of 18. She brings the most heart and soul to the character and sounds the most natural.
Meredith, Miki and Enuka for me.
Miki ito and Meredith Mccoy are easily 2 of the best choices for 18.
Meredith McCoy is Android 18
@@meh2729 yes
Meredith will always be the GOAT 18 but holy shit Enuka sounds almost exactly the same Lol
I’m sure it was intentuon. 17 in the Ocean dub also sounds exactly like Chuck Huber’s 17
Ocean dub is the orignal dub for dragon ball. Funimation were just copying the actors.
@@OidBuddy that was only until the Freeza arc. After that Funimation took over and Ocean didn't finish their dub until later.
@@PatLund Ye, but technically ocean dub was still the first.
@@OidBuddy but Funimation did Android 18 first.
Meredith is the best actor in both voice and attractiveness.
Meredith McCoy all the way,she by far the best voice actress to ever portray the diabolical android 18.
I like the funimation dub voice for 18 because from the manga it brings a strong rebelling aspect to her character that gives 18 a real sexy rawness to her from her teens onwards along with that coldness which is badass but is convey well in comparison with the manga.
I personally would kept her on in Kai rather than switch her.

also hot damn if enuka okuma ain't a close second to her tho
my tits I couldn't tell the difference with Enuka
Enuka sound sexier Meredith sound bland
John Jeffry found the weeb
John Jeffry She's supposed to sound bored. She's an Android lmao
She's a cyborg not a full machine, don't let the innacurate dub fool you.
Meredith is by far the best Android 18 so cool and smooth with a subtle edge.
Meredith is by far the best! She really captured the true personality of 18
The Kai one just sounds odd.
Oscar Flores Colleen Clinkinbeard should be fired from funimation. Her voice just sounds like nails on a chalk board. Her voice for Bulma sucks. Like every character she voiced sounds shit.
Clinkenbeard didn't voice Bulma. That was Monica Rial you're thinking of.

@@HazelEyes485 she was not bulma in Kai
@@HazelEyes485
Idiot, it's Monica Rial who does Bulma's voice in Kai and Super and she's easily the 2nd best Bulma we've ever had behind Hiromi Tsuru (R.I.P).
The Kai version like TFS
My opinions of the English voices...
Meredith McCoy's voice fits 18 the best. Enuka Okuma sounds damn-near identical to McCoy. Jennifer Bain's not to shabby, either. Sharon Mann has the right voice type, but sounds a bit too energized in the performance.
Colleen Clinkenbeard, though...it seems more of a miscasting than anything else. Her performance would be fine if given to a different, more fitting character. Same goes for Tamara Ryan.

also to note colleen has voiced several db characters even goku

@@godlynewbie and she's terrible in each of them

i don’t get why 18 sounded so different in the kai dubbed video games😭
Meredith McCoy will always be the best. Her monotonous voice fits 18’s “Idgaf” demeanor.
And you are a i..d..i..o..t!
The deadpan 'I don't give a shit', is best voice for Android 18
honestly, just the first 3
lol just no, Collen is fantastic in the role!
I have no idea why they changed voices in kai, why give 18 a Beverly Hills girl voice when she has somewhat of a tomboy attitude.
I mean
I kinda prefer it
18 in the original, sounded way too much like Launch
@@darthahsoka3518her og voice fits her like a glove
@@darthahsoka3518Stupid comment. They sound similar mainly because BOTH Android 18 and Launch are played by Meredith McCoy. I mean I like Colleen's va for 18 too, but yeah simps need to stop treating her like she's Jesus Christ and better than everyone else.
meredith's she was so damn calm lol the others no....
That’s strange how the first two sound perfectly identical
I like the first and the second. The voice match that character
Meredith McCoy could literally play live action 18!
Enuka and Meredith sound very much alike, I can hardly tell the difference.
First one nailed 18s demeanor.
Meredith will always be Android 18. That voice is sexy!
TFS DBZ Abridged - Android 18 - Amber Lee Connors
meredith is my favorite, but enuka is a very close second. they sound almost exactly the same.
Meredith McCoy all the way
Meredith McCoy
This video taught me that TFS has the best 18 Dub...
0:11 so adorable and cute how she says *"and how about you"*
Meredith IS Android 18
Funimation and Ocean's have the exact same voice, but the latter sounded like she was reading off a script.
This is the best description of their similarities
Miki ito
I like you voice :3
If you've seen the Higurashi: When They Cry anime, she voices Miyo Takano there.
I go to the church Meredith McCoy sings at :)
My top 5 of android voices
1. Meredith McCoy
2. Colleen Clickenbeard
3. Enuka Okuma
4. Tamara Ryan
5. Amber Lee Connors
I actually prefer Enuka. She managed to sound more bitchy and as though she likes being arrogant. It's a kind of calm arrogance. She also has quite a lot of depth. Meredith is a very close second -- she sounds very similar and gets the intonation just right, but she is a little bit more monotonous.
Thank god she returned in super. the kai VA was so off.
Yep
Meredith sounds threatening, but sexy.
Colleen sounds also threatening, but cute.
Meredith McCoy perfectly fits Android 18. Both of them have blonde hair and blue eyes.
Please can you do an updated Superman voice comparison?
Lukimus Prime Considering we have Nicolas Cage as Superman in the Teen Titans Go movie, now is as good a time as ever to update it.
Shaun N Ince definitely and we also have the live action stars as well. It's cool how Cage is Superman as he once auditioned for the part, and he has a son called Kal-El.
oh wow, meredith and enuka sound very similar.
I really like Enuka Okuma's voice
Very good imo
But I have to go to go with McCoy voice for 18
Enuka fine as hell damn.
Meredith forever
I actually think Amber Lee Connors, who did the voice in DBZA for TFS is better than any of these, imho.
Meredith does it best.
Okuma gets it reallllllly close but there's some inflections that could be reworked a bit, but that's more the director's fault than hers.
The first one is the best
In Death Battle: Android 18 was voiced by Amber Lee Conners. Best known her on the English dub in Citrus.
Meredith McCoy wins!...............for English dub.
Meredith is my No. 01.
Fun fact : Tamara rayan is also voice of evil nun
I hate the ocean dub with every atom in my body, but 18s voice in the ocean dub IS SO GUUD
Edit oh yea also hostory of trunkz 1 is gud as wel
MCcoy is perfect for A18 🔥
Does anyone know exactly why Meredith Mccoy didn't make into KAI and the rest of that period? If i'm not mistaken, she's in Tenkaichi 3, the last DB video game I played, as well as in Raging Blast, but didn't return until "Battle of Gods" Movie and Xenoverse onward.
Meredith probably has the sexiest voice of all time.
McCoy ❤ That’s the 18 that I grew up with and had a crush on 😅
Meredith McCoy is my 18 ❤ always has been and always will be.
💯😭👌💯
You forgot Amber Lee Connors
Meredith McCoy my favorite
Colleen sounds so much like og claire redfield
Hmmm, yes close.
Japanese voice actor best in my opinion
She sounds way more mature in Super.
Meredith McCoy still sounds quite young. Then again, she started voicing the character in her early 20s while Miki Ito started in her early 30s, not to mention almost 10 years before Meredith.
So Miki was in her 50s while voicing her in Super while Meredith was in her late 30s/early 40s.
Meredith McCoy, Enuka Okuma, and Miki Ito are easily the best ones.
Meredith and Enuka. Colleen's not bad, either.
1st: Meredith; 2nd: Enuka
Forget every other voice actresses, except Meredith McCoy. She’s my fav
Oh god what is Clinkenbeard 18 voice? They replaced TWO great actresses in Kai with her and her voices for both of them are inferior. Gohan by a bit, 18 by a LOT.
Honestly None were really bad.
Pfft... We all know the best is Shudo Ranmaru, her voice in Dragon Ball Z: Abridged
90% of the comments: "Meredith McCoy is best 18."
Me: "All of them are good."
So does this means Ocean Dub 18 has the N pass
Amber Lee Connors should be on here even it was a Fan Dub she did a good job voicing 18
Two words: Meredith McCoy
Can't really tell the difference between the 1st two
The first two soubd similar
Meredith is the best 18 voice
Friend of mine ran into Meredith in an airport in Texas, according to him, she was very nice.
The most beautiful anime character xd
The only voice I'm familiar with is Miki Ito.
As for English dub, Enuka is my favorite.
I think she captured the cold but playful nature of 18.
Meredith is the best
Meredith and enuka for sure, deep voice is so beautiful for 18
I actually like Jennifer Bain's take on the character.
Helps that out of Blue Water's pool of voice actors, she's one of my favorites.
Seriously, she's so underrated here. That subtle voice crack with the "You took my husband!" line was so effective.
@@ryuuseiSoul Agreed. Here's also a small list (also top five IMO) of roles in anime and video games she played that I are my favorites of her career, including Android 18:
1. Mayura Labatt (Battle Assault 3 featuring Gundam SEED)
2. Rosamia Badam (Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam)
3. Frieza (Dragon Ball GT, alternate English dub)
4. Manon Chapman (Mobile Fighter G Gundam)
5. Android 18 (Dragon Ball GT, alternate English dub)
Colleen would be a lot better if she used her Erza Scarlet voice for 18
Just the first 3 for me
Kai voice sounds too soprano i like the alto range voice meredith gives
Meredith McCoy is the best voice for android 18
Fun Fact: Sharon Mann is also the voice of Jeremy and Aelita from Code Lyoko incase yall didnt know
Enuka. Wow. Praises.
Amber Connors.
My fav is still TFS 18
DBFZ 18 hit me with
“Are you even trying?”
Meredith is easily the best one
Sorry but Erza's voice for C18 Sucks.
Simon Ortiz from fairy tale.
Meredith Mccoy is my fav I wont watch my girl 18 unless she has that voice over
You forgot the TFS dub.
Lol Exactly
kylesenior Not a legit dub. It's a parody.
kylesenior Parodies don't count especially in the structure that he makes these voice comparisons.
Hurr, what's a joke?
