She my favorite sailor moon voice
Honestly - English cast had a ton of emotion - they were all great. Terri should have been cast for all english dubs.
Agreed. She did an exceptional job and her voice is iconic.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCESS SERENA SAILOR MOON
Yep, the voice acting was well matched and showed a lot of heart. Now compare that with the somewhat flat voice acting in Thundercats.
She was the best English speaking sailor moon
She looks great and still sounds exactly like Sailor Moon.
10:54. That was her sailor moon voice right there.
My family use to make fun of me because I watched Sailor Moon. I use to rush home every morning after school at 3 to catch a new episode.
But it's because of voice talents like Terri Hawkes I learned to ignore the put downs and enjoy what I liked. It helped me to, ironically, build my confidence.
Thanks Terri and Dic for taking a chance and bringing Sailor Moon to American audiences.
+vjm3 you are not alone!! I was definitely teased at school for loving the series, but screw the ignorant haters!! This series is so special and really helped me develop my own ethical and moral center. And it's just awesome, badass, magical girls kicking butt! What more could you ask for? :) stay strong, SM lover!
Agreed! I grew up with her Sailor Moon too!! :') I was the only one at school who knew about her, but was teased for it and thinking stuff like Sailor Moon was weird!
Her performance when Sailor Moon realized she was Princess Serenity was amazing. You can really connect with the character because her emotions were so powerful in those episodes.
This woman is literally amazing in every way. SO sweet and kind and humble!
Damn...her voice hasnt changed in 28 years..Kelly from Hello Mary Lou Prom Night 2
+Mike Harold And Shreeky from the Nelvana 'Care Bears' animated series too...that's how far back I go as an animation fan. XD
Ragin' Ronic And Bianca Dupre from one of my favorites "Beverly Hills Teens".
IDC what anyone says, I adored the DiC dub. Every voice actor added so much passion and emotion to their parts. It was well written and even the score was wonderful. Yes, they cut the crap of it ... but it was marketed to young girls (10 and under). The cloverway dub was a mess ... but Terri Hawkes and the DiC dub was marvelous.
The DiC version was my favorite version too, despite the censorship. Terri was the definitive Sailor Moon, although it was Tracey Moore, also the voice of Princess "Peach" Toadstool in "The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3" and "Super Mario World: The Series," who voiced Sailor Moon in episodes 1-11, 15, and 21.
DiC made Sailor Moon SO MAGICAL!!! VIZ just says: 24 years of DiC's magic from childhood destroyed!!
Omg finally someone ilyy
The show was basically butchered from the original, but I gotta admit, the English voice acting, particularly our Terri Hawkes, was absolutely superb. Terri's voice was the cutest thing! But heavily changing anime adapted into English was largely the norm in the old days, especially if it's shown on broadcast TV. Nowadays the English dubbed/subtitled anime is intact. If they had just waited a few more years, we might have gotten a pure version of Sailor Moon with this wonderful voice cast.
@@saiberunato No way they would've waited years just to create a "pure version." It's business. I even remember the USA Network promo saying "The wait is over." I'm glad it arrived when it did. I loved it.
You are the most incredible Sailor Moon stan. The fact that you were so knowledgeable about Terri's career was so awesome to watch, and I can tell she really appreciated it.
I heard, Her voice... ever since I was little. Watch the old Sailor Moon was good. 💛✌👍👌💛💛✌👌✌👌💛❤💙💙
Sailor Moon is what got me into anime. I watched it since I was 8. I am 23 and when I listen to her English voice I can close my eyes and remember the magic that she brought to my life.
My all time favorite sailor moon 🌙 voice
Damn. I remember waking up at 5:30 in the AM to watch Sailor Moon back in the 1990's.
Loved her work. Very nice hearing these comments. Thanks.
I can listen to her talk all day. She’s so well spoken and her voice is just soo pretty. Her accent is so familiar and homey 🥺💕
Terri Hawkes
1. Serena/Sailor Moon - Sailor Moon R Promise Of The Rose, S Hearts In Ice, Super S Black Dream Hole 1993 - 1994 - 1995 - 1998
I think she has a lovely voice and is a lovely person inside and out!!!!!
It's funny that they talked about the french dub since i'm french I would have loved to have her thought on it. By the way her little french speech was very cool, she was good despite the lack of practice. Fun fact, Sailor Moon has been bought by a french channel way before the USA. It makes me proud to say that we saw the potential behind japanese animation since the early 1980. I'm almost sure we were the first country to broadcast Sailor Moon after Japan of course. Around late 1993 so very very close from the original post production. The french actress for Sailor Moon was very good then she left after season 3 then the second one wasn't that great for the role though she is a renown voice actress and the official french voice of the actress Natalie Portman. The voice actress behind Sailor Venus who is my favourite lived in Canada for quite some time. Jeff you did a great interview.
I highly confess that I never had an interest in G-Anime at all until I watched Sailor Moon. I love Terri Hawkes. I also remember her from the 1987 horror movie Hello Mary Lou - Prom Night 2.
Happy birthday Sailor Moon. UR beautiful. May the Peace be with u. From Harlingen Texas. January 31, 1958
January 31, 2020 through January 31, 3020 🌙🌙🎂🎂🎂🎂🌙🌙
THE ONE AND ONLY SAILOR MOON
The reason why Terri stopped voicing Usagi in the first place was that she (Terri) actually was pregnant with twins and had to have someone take over for Usagi
***** That isn't true. Mitsuishi voiced Usagi in all 200 episodes.
This is also false kotono mitsuishi voiced nearly all 200 ep however she was sidelined seven episodes gettung her appendix removed RECOVERING kae araki took over for those seven she would eventually become of the voice of chibiusa in sailor moon R
Wasn't it due to the rights to the English dubbing transferred to Cloverway?
@AaronCMounts No Cloverway still used Optimum Productions, the same Canadian studio DiC used. Raye, Lita, Luna, and Artemis had the same voices they had since the DiC days, Kaorinite's voice actress did Zoicite and Emerald for DiC. Neptune was voiced by the same woman who did Serena's mom. Etc
The transference to Cloverway had zero impact on casting
The serena's voice that I actually loved! It's so weird to hear your voice but coming out from this lady in real life hahaha :)
LOVE YOU TERRI YOU ARE THE BEST SAILOR MOON
Awesome! I actually really loved her as sailor moon, her voice is so unique :)
Scroll away from the video and it will sound like he's actually interviewing sailor moon herself. It's awesome!!!
She literally sounds exactly the same 13 years later
I would absolutely LOVE for Terri Hawkes to come back if the new anime is dubbed. At least the cast of the inner scouts to come back.
I love you Terri
She is so cute! Love her tons!
I really hope she's able to do her voice in the re vamped Sailor Moon coming out later this year!!
Sailor moon was seen on fox kids, upn, usa network, and kids wb's/cartoon network's toonami block.
holy moly. serena!! :D
Usagi
OMG IT IS HER!!!
My childhood 🌙💖😫🤌🏼
dear terri, please do us all a favor...do the dubbing for the new sailor moon. just do it...
Thank you for the subtitles. :)
Sailor Moon! Its her! Love this show!
0:47, now Canada is interesting
me to i would love to meet her
The GOAT Usagi/Sailor Moon va.
I wanna meet her badly, but does the og do cons anymore?
let's all pray that
That awkward moment when your therapist looks like Terri Hawkes...
I love her, she reminds me of Enya ❤
I'd
my god...listening to Serena voice sound so sophisticated....so weird >.<
Terri Hawkes Voiced Sailor Moon in the anime movies like Helen Slater Portrayed Supergirl from the 1984 Movie with Red Boots and Blonde Hair
Sailor Moon: Tsuki ni kawatte oshiyokiyo!
VIZ totally destroyed the sound of the characters! GOD I WISH THE ORIGINAL CAST COULD DO THE UNEDITED SCRIPT!!!!... with the original english names lol
Yeah!! DiC's version had the fans feel something!! They made it feel like Sailor Moon was real!!
@@Blossom44100 Luckily, they dubbed the movies, and they're completely uncensored, I love it so much! I really wish they just dubbed the entire show, especially without censorship. 💜
@@BratzRockAngels agreed :'(
Elphaboy dude I can’t even differentiate the voices in the Viz version
Her voice in Early Episodes of Sailor Moon sounded Childish until a young woman
What I wanna know is...why didn't they contact TRACEY MOORE to reprise her role during S and Super S?
i know/ i really want to meet her
I'm having a Sailor Jupiter moment; that guy looks just like my ex boyfriend.
LMAO definitely a Makoto move
I think I just realized why I'm so justice driven and want to become a police officer..I was born in 1994 and grew up watching Sailor Moon..Think it was engraved in my brain to want to fight for justice etc. Hmm. I even decided to watch Inuyasha again (I started watching when I was 7 or 8) & I've noticed my beliefs and the way I act are like the two characters in the show. I'm now starting to believe I was a very easily influenced child.
John Callahan's Quads!!
9:48 - They could go old school and do a Hong Kong dub where the lip movements are WAY out of sync with the words.
Actually, that might turn out rather fun to watch.
I hope Funimation dubs the Sailor Moon reboot. It is cool to see sailor moon's VA years later.
i can't tell. they were all dubbed in québec so i watched the local version of disney movies. or i watch the original english one.
I can hear SERENA! In her talking (and the reason i caped Serena is because she voiced serena not usagi evan though i like calling sailor moon usagi)
terri hawks ya
Who voiced Serena in the English Dub Of Sailor Moon S?
thats right
I think she should voice her in the english dub of the new anime. either her or megami33.
Wow her voice didnt change at all in 20 years. Not that she sounds too much like the ultra girly voice she does for Serena though.
Terri hawkes did perfect as Usagi in NA’s Serena/Sailor moon than orginal lend her voice in anime series with classy humor in 👩🦱🌙cartoon character’s emotional out of the nonsense in comedy out of clumsiness sound moaned pain😂 also silly argument when scream and grumble comments😂, and also show her sentimental (not as crybaby bawl🙂↔️😂 no!) but in distraught emotion💔 when her beloved gets taking away from her and out of tough Break up in Darien’s nightmare of losing her when don’t want the premonition too come true by pushing Serena away😔💔 thru the season was dreadful, and Terri shined her Serena/Sailor moon performance❤️👍
ure so right
She should go request the job for voice-over herself!
Wow, Canadian French accent is very different from ordinary French accent. Maybe it's just her?
Terri's French accent is fairly typical Quebecois. She seems to have gotten it in Montreal and it's a similar accent to what most French Canadians I speak to who are from Ontario and Quebec have. Though she struggles a bit for words, as she admits she hasn't spoken it much in a while, but she doesn't seem to have any English accent so it seems obvious that she learned this early enough in life. A second language French speaker who learned it as an adult will never quite be able to lose that English accent and she doesn't have this.
French Canadians traveling in some parts of Europe will be treated like English speakers by people who mistake their accent as being poor French. Similarly I have more trouble understanding European French but I know of it enough to recognize it is simply an accent and not a sign of poor French.
france is absolutely amazing with Disney films! They just didn't do so great with anime.
I imagine this is what Serena/Usagi would sound like when she's older haha. I love this woman, I grew up watching the dub and I loved Sailor Moon's voice. Couldn't imagine her any other way. The Cloverway dub was just unbearable.
My God, this is so weird, hearing Serena's voice coming from someone else...
lol. i love her voice the best for sailor moon... everyone else was ANNOYING!
I think Serena voice was annoying in the cloverdub version for Sailor Moon S who ever voiced Serena in that series made her voice sound like a old lady
I don't understand why there are nostalgia blind people who love the original English dub! You people realize that 90% of Sailor Moon sailor moon R with literally censored not only that because of DIC in stupid clover way season five never made its way to the English-speaking people and now finally will be in 2019 thank you VIC media Teri was only 57 episodes then they got another actress for Sailor Moon S and that's when I became a hard-core fan and that voice actress was just as bad but Terry was decent
When it's what people grew up with, there will be some nostalgia for it, no matter how bad, in your opinion, it may have been.
You got a source on the 2019 date?
its so weird you can hear serena in her voice its so weird. sounding smart and junk lol.
why did she stop doing sailor moon? Ballantyne's voice was unbearable. i just watched it in japanese after ballantyne took over.
She said breast feeding!!! :)
Long time fan, 25 years old male!!!!
She gets hotter every time :)
or not......
LMAO
I think part of me will never really forgive the casting director for not correcting the role for SMS and SMSS and leaving our ears to bleed to the unbearable voice of Linda Ballantyne instead. (I'm sure Linda is a great person, but we all know she's the worst Sailor Moon VA.) I was like 15 when we got SMS and even I knew back then it was horrible. I know Terri had twins and couldn't commit, but the casting director could have at least picked a sound alike or something. Anyway, Terri made my childhood awesome. Edit: I mouthed the words "moon healing activation" dramatically since it's almost 1 AM and that would otherwise piss everyone off if I yelled it at this hour. XD
They should have got Tracy Moore back, she and Terri basically sound the same
Did Tracy Moore voiced Sailor Moon in Season 1 Episode 15?
@@joshuajackson3986 Tracey Moore did eps 1-11 then ep 15 and ep 21 the first appearance of Jupiter
the french dub is terrible. and it was dubbed in france. and they are terrible at dubbing.
Weeaboo.
