Sailor Moon: The Original English Dub Cast at Anime Expo 2014
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- For many, Sailor Moon was a major catalyst that sparked an interest in Japanese animation and culture. Next to Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon made up one-half of a particularly influential anime-focused afternoon action block. The Sailor Moon series was a huge influence on many children growing up in the 1990's, especially young girls. The Sailor Scouts were childhood heroes and role models--a source of inspiration and empowerment.
In honor of Sailor Moon's 20th anniversary and the upcoming remake, Anime Expo is pleased to welcome the classic Sailor Moon series' voice cast for their first full reunion appearance in the United States! Anime Expo 2014 Guests of Honor, Linda Ballantyne (Sailor Moon, seasons 3 and 4), Susan Roman (Sailor Jupiter), Katie Griffin (Sailor Mars), Karen Bernstein (Sailor Mercury, seasons 1 and 2), Stephanie Morgenstern (Sailor Venus, seasons 1 and 2), Ron Rubin (Artemis), Toby Proctor (Tuxedo Mask - most SM/1st half of R), Jennifer Cihi (music,vocals), and voice director John Stocker will all be participating in a Sailor Moon panel.

Voice director looks like Danny Deveto
XD!
He does
OMG DANNY DEVITO! I LOVE YOUR WORK!!!
It's not Danny DeVito
"IT WASNT THE CLAAAAMS"
Great to see Sailor Mercury there. It amazes me how much Susan Roman basically just is Sailor Jupiter.
35:00 here come the tears again, wow-- I feel like I'm watching some sort of spiritual Sailor Moon service. my gosh thank you!
I didn't expect it to make me tear up though I knew how nostalgic this cast is. WOW this is a big part of my child hood :D
I seriousu just cried listening to the voice actress for 'Molly' tell the Nephrite story... wow.
I got major goosebumps at “I’m a true best friend and I LOVE to go to the mall”.
@@ayyyce In spite of the Senshi efforts, there wasn't anything they could do to save Nephrite, was there...?
I'm surprised there wasn't a "Passing of the Tiara" ceremony between the old Sailor Moon Dub voice cast and the new one.
Because they were replaced due to ageism. The new sailor moon VIZ management wanted young people to bring in more comic-con fans. More people will show up if they're young.
@@anthonyfranco88 Still, would've been nice.
@@petertilton7004 Viz literally made Katie Griffin and Linda Ballantyne crawl off a stage after "sending them off" to introduce the new actresses.
@@anthonyfranco88 funny you say that. I actually looked and almost ever sailor guardian was actually older than their predecessors when they were Sailor guardians. Like Traci, Terry, and Linda were all in between 34-37 when they were cast back in the 90s and Stephanie was 37 when she was cast in 2014. Just some fun trivia, also like how Kate, Cristina, and Cherami were actually a small bit older than their predecessors when getting cast.
Where is Venus?
DiC and Cloverway Sailor Moon! My childhood
wait a second............... Where's Luna?
Autumn Williams probably couldn't make it
Dead
Didnt make it and probably was traffic
Wow this LInda Salormoon is very good! Her ''Moon cosmic Power'' shout is very Normal and perfect for Salormoon. And Terry Hawke is also very Perfect! in another way. Two perfect Sailormoons.
I don't care if the old dub censored the Uranus/Neptune thing (which is the most common complaint of the DiC dub, but keep in mind the standards of western television back in the day). I always loved the DiC voices and music over both the Japanese and ViZ versions. And it's not just nostalgia talking either. These ladies are genuinely good VAs.
Cloverway dub
@@bluebaron6858 Regardless, both dubs are still good
My sister REFUSES to watch anything with the new voice actors on the Viz dub. Which means to this day, she hasn’t seen stars and will probably never see it. These voices are so good and iconic.
One thing the fans might not have realized, is that the method of dubbing which the now defunct Optimum Productions (where the show was dubbed in Mississauga, Ontario) used, isn't the same method which is used normally for dubbing anime into English. So outtakes weren't as commonplace (though they did happen, but usually only for flubbing or missing the cue line).
Unlike most dubbing which has a scriptwriter look at the translation and just see what words of similar meaning would fit the lip sync at a given time stamp, Optimum would go frame by frame, marking the lip movements on a clear 35mm film roll which matched up to the 35mm film reel that the show's current scene was on (similar to how movie projectors used to be). The agent would rotate a control wheel back and forth which allowed them to shift forward and back through the scene and see just how much lip movement each frame produced compared to the previous ones for a given character, before repeating the process for the next character on a new roll. This continued for each scene until all the scenes for an episode were complete (the more scenes or more characters involved, the more rolls of clear film used.
That roll which had the markings, was then taken to the script writer who would write the script for that character in the scene on another 35mm clear roll, based upon those markings.
The roll was then realigned to the original projection roll and reviewed, before it would be signed off as ready for the cast member to record in the studio.
The dual reel projector in the ceiling of the studio would then play both reels in sync with each other (the script reel would scroll right to left), and a line on the wall in the center of the script reel (cue line), signaled when the cast member was to speak. So as a word scrolled and reached the line, the actor would say that line, stretching out or shortening how long they spoke depending on how long it took the script to pass through that line. Hence why Katie was talking about doing several episodes at a time, as she only would see the scenes Rei appeared in for any given episode, and only know what her lines were, not anyone else's.
In the end, the process was more costly for the producers and their clients, but cast members wouldn't be in the studio as long as a result.
I still think this is a better dubbing Method than ADR.
The rhythmoband method? I heard Netflix dubs use that method now

who grew up with the DiC dub of Sailor Moon!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I totally regret not going to this panel and not meeting the voice actors but thank you for uploading this..
Too bad Sugar's not there...I liked her
aww man I cried multiple times. Thanks for posting!
The love in that room when they all sang together tho god I cried lol
I was glad to see Karen Bernstein at this panel! 12:22
+Chandler Boykin She's a rare one. It would be awesome to have her autograph because she rarely attends conventions.
Considering she also voiced Tara Belle and Therese "Jett" Lyman from The Beverly Hills Teens
She Retired
you can really see the fire in her eyes at 11:47
This title is incorrect. Linda was not the original voice of Sailor Moon. She was the third and only came in, pretty much, once the show went into syndication.
it'd be cool to see terri and Linda and Vince and Toby at the same Con.
At 15:02,
“WHO WANTS TO SEE SAILOR MOON
BACK ON TOONAMI?!?!”
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Childhood right there!
To the people complaining that Linda is here,
She has the right to be on this panel just like Tracey and Terri.
She's honestly my favorite voice of Sailor Moon just for her personality. Yeah, she had trouble adjusting, and it's really jarring when you're so used to Usagi's / Serena's voice being high-pitched, but I believe she did the best she could, and I have nothing but respect for her in that regard. She is amazing, and I hope to meet her eventually.
I want to be a voice actor, writer, animator, etc. (pretty much everything in the industry), and Linda is one of the strongest forces that keep me motivated.
she is my fav voice too
Thomas Vaccaro tbh I I don't like Linda because she used a really weird voice back then for Serena and in this video she sounds like a normal person and she could've used that cute voice back then instead of her weird fat old lady with an eating disorder voice .
A year later, but....I agree with you. She is also not my favorite however, I admire her dedication to the character, and additionally, Terri Hawkes gave her the highest praise. :)
I like Linda's voicing of Usagi/Serena, too. She may not be perfect at it, but she can certainly make me laugh all day and night; both at that and in real life!
33:02 WHAT AN INTRODUCTION! LOL! Hilarious! She's great already
why can I never find the English voice actors for Pluto and Uranus!
***** Pluto was Sabrina Grdevich, and Uranus was Sarah Lafleur
I actually attended this expo and I got to see them!
Thats great!, if i could afford the trip i would go lol
aLaric linlaw anime expo goes EVERY 4th of July weekend in my native Los Angeles! You should go!
+aLaric linlaw I love the Sailor Scouts!!
It sucks there not doing the voices any more.
I know!! It definitely sucks!! :(
I think I owe Jennifer Cihi a dinner or something. She and the Luna Rock sound track are part of the reason that I am a singer today
Beautiful comment :) When she was about to start singing, I was shaking in my seat because 15 or so years ago I had the VHS tape of the episode with "My Only Love" and I would rewind and replay it over and over again. Jennifer has such a beautiful voice.
Toby Procter was also in the Ranma dub in one episode. Guy looks jacked as hell. Never expected him to be so beefy. -- AT
Karen Bernstein 12:24 28:32
Mary Long 28:45
This is EPIC!!!!
I wish Mina/Sailor Venus and Luna were there too!!!! :( I wish Tracey was there too!! :(
Original will alway be better than reboot.... waiting on sailor moon stars
I got goosebumps watching this omygod
I don't see Stephanie Morgenstern. I can't figure out which one is her.
The original poster of this video thought Mary Long was Stephanie. That's why
She’s not there. Unfortunately she wasn’t able to make it.
Susan💙

once I saw a post of a picture that my friend posted from this I could NOT WAIT to get to a video on youtube of it and catch up.. as I have been for all their appearances the past year. thank you very much!!
I just want to watch the original English Dub please!
Me too. The new one sucks
I've met Susan, Stephanie and Toby before, they're so nice in person. I've also met Roland Parliament (Melvin), Kirsten Bishop (Zoicite/Emerald), Rob Tinkler (Rubeus), Tracey Hoyt (Rini #1) and Loretta Jafelice (Diana)
I LOVE linda a d Terri. I grew up with them both. Id be soooo excited to see either of them!! Linda did amazing!
focus...focus... zoom out to see the full panel would have been nice..
I felt bad for the va of molly when the american anime otaku said the toonami thing 😖😖😖
Happy Birthday Sailor Mercury! UR beautiful. I Love Sailor Moon. Sailor Mercury is amazing. May the Peace be with u Karen Bernstein. From Harlingen Texas. May 26, 1969
May 26, 2021 through May 26, 3021
The only one I like is the voice of Makoto, Rei and Artemis. I do love Jennifer Cihi too❤️
Cihi could have been Terri's perfect replacement but she isn't an actress.
IS THAT DANNY DEVITO ON THE FAR RIGHT?!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ok so, John Stocker is totally reminding of the director from the episode "An Animated Mess". I wonder if that was an intentional cameo.
Weird when dark hair voice actors do light haired ones and light haired do dark haired
Where’s Terri Hawkes
Damn. I was hoping for Tracey or Terri. Not Linda. She is my least favorite. Oh wells.
+Hemlock Fury so many of us loved Terri, why not have her???
Linda sucks. Tracy & Terry are badass.
American dubbing companies have no respect compared to japan where the same voice actor is re hired for the majority of a product iteration even decades later.
Can you also put subtitles on this?
Artemis❤️❤️❤️
12:23 this is what I want. This is what I need. :D
who did sailor venus I don't see the voice actress for sailor venus
Yeaa where is salorvenus. Omg Hi Jupiter i love. Love You! my favorite salorscouts. MUAH. im darien bear. hug and kiss u
Mercury is the best imo.
10:48 made me feel so nostalgic!
What I find upsetting is that Linda doesn’t usually reference Terri. Linda talks about her decision to accept the love from the fans, which is great, but she overshot and ended up developing a style of speaking about the character that caused her to accept the fruit of Terri’s labor. She basically took the credit for Terri’s legacy. Linda makes statements that conveniently allow you to think that she was always “the voice of Sailor Moon” unless you know better. She never brings up the fact that she was the third voice herself. She always tells “funny” stories about how it was to be “THE VOICE” of Serena and Sailor Moon without any recognition to Terri or even Tracy. I think that’s what bothers me most about Linda. Ironically, the legendary Terri, who is INDISPUTABLY the most signature and iconic TRUE voice of Sailor Moon, is the total opposite. Terri constantly gives shoutouts to Linda and Tracy despite being the most authentic voice the character ever had. Terri is world class. I just wish Linda was more humble. Having said that, I do agree with Susan that it takes a lot of guts to try and fill someone’s shoes and since they were Terri’s, she was pretty much doomed before she even started. I want to give Linda credit for taking on the challenge, but I’m just so put off by what she did once she got there. She massively overshot and it’s hard to root for her because of it. Terri Hawkes, on the other hand, has basically proven herself a hero time and time again. Humility is everything.
I completely agree with you! I've recently seen Terris interviews and in fact she is very humble and appreciate and respects the other actresses. Also Terri IS Sailor Moon to many of us, whether her voice fit the character or not. It was her portrayal as S.M that many of us will always remember. She seems so sweet and humble in person!
Hmmm, my best bet is Linda is playing sailor as a sort of alter ego since she knows she ain't the original voice... So for instance, say you needed to impersonate your mom on the phone.... You would not like to keep on talking about how you're not your mom, it would distract you. And stop you from really embodying the character istivs of mom
So the one that gave dubbed Sailor Moon the worst voice over is the one with the biggest ego? And the one that actually gave the best performance is the most humble? Crazy how that works...
Come on dont say that! She loves sailor moon why can't she talk about what she loves about playing the role. I bet she loves the previous two voice actresses that played her! She doesn't have to reference any of the old ones.
Emily Lentz Are you kidding? She absolutely does! Most of the fans of the series love Sailor Moon because of what Terri did with the character. Nearly ALL of what Linda dubbed didn’t even make it to air. Most people don’t know her work, only Terri’s. This is why she seems delusional and conveniently naive about all of this and she just goes with it and acts like she was the voice all along. No one is saying she can’t speak about what the experience was like voicing Sailor Moon. Of course she can. It’s her right, because she did voice the character. I’m just upset she’s not at all honest about what she contributed to the legacy of the character. The legacy is Terri’s, not Linda.
The voice for the DIC Dub present at the panel is Canadian Voice actor and Voice Director John Stalker.
I think Terri hawkes sailor moon is the best. I love her voice and I've known it since I was a kid. I still have a hard time watching the other dubbed version on hulu because the voice acting sucks and I'm not used to it
voice actors missing sailor pluto, sailor uruanus, sailor neptune, sailor saturn, jedaite nephrite koonzite aka malakite , i would say zoisite but sadly she died in march rip zoisite, queen berryl, prince diamond and saphire, wiseman, emerald, nahalinia, tigers eye, fish eye, and hawks eye, professor tomoe ann mistress 9 eudial mimete tellu viluy cyprine pitilol, cerre cerre, vess vess, palla palla, and junn junn. where are those actors and the other main villian from teh dark moon clan not the darkmoon circus
They aren't the main characters
Omg! Linda is such a Beauty! a tall matured full grown face and body. like a Princess! She is a Perfect Salormoon. Even her attitude is like Salormoon. And her ''Mooon Prismm Powerrr'' is really sound like a Sailormoon. that voice. Im Love You Linda. im darien bear.
Shut up you creep and stop saying the same shit over and over again.
I loved all the voice actors except Sailor Moon's. She sounds so horrible and even as a child I couldn't get used to her voice.. I really liked the old voice from the first season though
I feel the same way. I stopped watching the show after the second season ended for that exact reason. I loved Sailor Moon's original voice actress :(
Rebecca Wolf Terri Hawkes was my favorite voice of all time! She was the second and longest running voice of Sailor Moon. Tracey Moore was only the first 6 episodes.
***** I'm a bit torn between Tracey and Terri, I refer to them both as the original voice actress :) I feel like Tracey had a better voice, but Terri had better lines/character/attitude.
me too
People need to cut Linda Ballantyne some slack. Even Terri Hawkes said at events that she fully supported Linda taking over the role. Linda struggled with it because she didn't know whether to imitate Terri as much as she could or make it her own. She went home one day after a recording session and told her husband that she couldn't do this because she wasn't Terri. He then told her that she didn't have to be and that she needed to make it her own.
I don't get it how come nobody likes Linda well I mean like for like some people I mean like she was like I'm annoying and not like perfect for the role but I think that she was different from like the rest she stands out and that's what makes you special and I like her because of that she's my favorite Sailor Moon actor of all
she's my favorite voice
She's my favorite personality, not my favorite voice. Terri Hawkes is my childhood so I'm biased towards her. Linda started off rocky, but she really made the character her own after she got warmed up.
Kayla Sanderson I don't like her because her voice didn't fit a 14-16 year old girl . She sounded like a 50 year old. But that's just what I think please no hate. And I'm surprised because right now she sounds more like a normal person and I think she could've used that adorable voice she has now back then in the 90's.
Omg. LINDA is a PRINCESS! fully matured beautiful face and body. I love linda as salormoon. Perfect! Even her attitude is like salormoon. Her ''Mooon Prisimm Powerr ''' is soo Sailormoon. That voice.
@@megynkelly180 you might be referring to Tracey
This shit's cool
Karen Bernstein unfortunately retired in 2005.
Where is Stephanie morganstan??
Yea WHERE is venus. Hi venus mina. i love Love You! venus so beautiful. more than salormoon. And do u see that cosplayer sailormoon crying omg. She needs More hug from sailormoon. Sailormoon just walk away leaving her hangin.
megyn Kelly1 awww thx so much I’m glad you like me 😁
Stephanie was there with the group, but it was so hot that day that unfortunately she got sick and had to sit out of the panel and autograph session. :(
Now Terri Hawks?
they should have had Tracey or Terry not Linda
Chun Suke
They all sound the same
SO, Stephanie Morgenstern bailed?
No, the uploader of this video thought that Mary Long was Stephanie
Is this the voice cast from the Viz Media Dub?
Where's Jill Frappier ( the voice of Luna ) and Stephanie beard ( the voice of Rini ) ?
Not the blue jays! I don’t live in Toronto anyway
Meatball head should have been reused in the new dub. They literally whitewashed our childhoods. I’m sorry if this offends somebody…but just like meatball head doesn’t make sense in Japan, dumpling head and bun head don’t make sense over here. We have got to stop acting like “an accurate translation to the Japanese” is the right path for all anime. Bye? It’s different cultures. Had the VIZ version been aired in the 90’s literally nobody would have cared for it the same way. It’s worse than the original Japanese and original English. I’m so sick of the disrespect to this cast. These are LEGENDS!
Love you guys so much my Childhood
This era stinks, its so gross. They have to ruin everything that was good and clean. Its discusting now
sailor minimoon and dark girl i think was the name of her alter ego
Dark Lady is Sailor Chibi Moon's evil self.
Where's Terri Hawkes? She's Sailor Moon not this phony Linda with the most annoying and nauseating voice in the world that ruined Sailor Stars for me as a kid.
Sailor Stars didn't get an English dub back then.
not everyone thinks that way, honestly in my opinion I loved her
ChronoShenron Well, America has been in suspense long enough.
Julianne Hannes Terri Hawkes just made my ears bleed....
Julianne Hannes also DiC couldn't get ownership of Sailor Moon Stars
Only thing I don't like about this panel is Linda...Terri Hawkes was the best
What a delightful panel!
Linda Ballantyne is sooo comical! I can understand why she was cast as the voice of Usagi/Serena for the Cloverway versions of Seasons 3 and 4. She practically epitomizes Usagi/Serena's goofiness! I'll bet she could even pass for a professional stand-up comedian! I like those shirts that she and Karen are wearing, by the way.
And Jennifer, you are such an excellent singer. Thank you so much for doing your musical performances in Sailor Moon. I LOVE "The Power of Love"! That's a nice-looking dress that your wearing, by the way.
linda is the best , she is my ultimate favorite voice actor for Sailor Moon and she is really Sailor Moon 😃💜💜💜💜💜✌
Awesome my childhood
I don’t think they were the original were they?
Well they were but they did create a cartoon show to inspired original sailor moon is them but they did cancel it because anime sailor moon is ALOT popular than theirs so thats why they change her usagi to serena cause the original serena that they creative is to keep her name and they said serena is alot better than usagi
Thank you ALL for my childhood years!!!!
Your not welcome 😏
Linda ballyntine how awesome !
Got a question why they didn't make English Version on the fifth season sailor moon dvd?
+Cord Pulley Bc it was too expensive to remove/ gloss over the gay themes & deaths.
+Pink Gadgets that is to sad. I hope in the future they would do it make English of fifth season.
Cord Pulley I think it has been just not the original DIC dub, I've seen the later episodes on YT and they were dubbed in English. You could also just watch subtitled episodes?!
+Cord Pulley That actually is false, the main reason as to why Sailor Moon Stars was never dubbed was because Toei Animation didn't put the final season for licensing in North America.
This is because clover way said F it transvestite sailor scouts in nudity you can think America for being stupid but now we're getting it very very soon the dump is coming very soon with an all new cast VI Z media save sailor stars
I wonder how they regret after Tokyo's company shut them down for westernized Usagi's name
I heard they did not like this in the end. Bummer.
Thanks for posting :)
Who else got shivers when they were doing the transformation call
Why is no one concerned about the fact that Colin O'Meara isn't here😭😭😭why didn't he come
4:25, difficult to hear who played who
This is fantastic!
I loved your acting guys and girls, although you were given terrible scripts to work with
This is so awesome!
Where’s Vincent corazza?
Start From 11:49
That's Naru
Uranus and Neptune are not cousins they are gay!
We know that!
In North America of the late 90s and early 2000s, the subject was still pretty much taboo. Canada didn't get marriage equality until 2005
This is not the original dub cast.
*Most of them are.*
11:45
sailor moon voice 👍
I don't care what y'all say, Linda ruined S and SuperS for me. She was terrible. I like the panel though.
damonika09 same she sounds like a normal person now but she could've used that cute voice back then instead of that fat 50 year old lady voice
