If they would've had these voice actors for season 2 I wouldn't know the difference, but the voices have become so iconic that I can notice subtle differences in them.
I honestly thought both were spot on for the first comparisons show , but you can REALLY hear that Rick doesn't sound the same when he's yelling or shouting. I don't get why they didn't go with MortySays and the other people Justin Roiland *himself* reviewed on that Vanity Fair interview.
The two people they hired are working actors, ie. people who know how to act. Voice impressionists can do really accurate reproductions but they don’t know how to improvise new situations. There was an interview with one of the producers about how during auditions they put actors through situations they would never expect the characters to be in to test their abilities. I think Rick Prime screaming indignantly through a mouth of blood and broken teeth wouldn’t be something a voice impressionist could get across effectively
Rick's new VA sounds similar to Roiland when he's calm, but every clip here of him shouting or raising his voice at all, it's VERY noticable. And Morty sounds like a decent impressionist.
The New Voice for Rick sounds good when Rick’s being calm and collected, but once he starts yelling, the recognizable gravel is lost and we only have the sound. Morty sounds fine. A bit off at moments, but nothing to really complain about.
Yeah Ricks voice sounds pretty alright when he's just talking but he just can't reach the same highs that Roiland was able to, it'll be tough to get used to it
@user-qc1nn9sh6g Evidently, he was accused of more awful things. Even if the allegations are genuine, Rick and Morty will never be the same without him, and I sincerely wish they hadn't just cast him aside so quickly and pretended he didn't matter. I love the show, but that was cold.
The new ones are pretty good but its REALLY easy to tell that they are different. There's just something about the old ones that really define the characters.
For once, i have to disagree. I actually had to come here to hear the comparison and its so insanely spot on that its uncanny. I could only tell the difference when he was shouting alittle bit and even then its hardly noticeable.
old voices have a slightly "rough" undertone. not "raspy" or "horsey" but the voices had a bit of BRASS in their voice when speaking; and the new actor sounds like a pathetic weak manchild. if you don't know what "speaking with brass" sounds like I can't explain it to you
I think the difference in voices is mostly that they don’t have that grating edge each character had. Morty occasionally had those slight moments of almost cracking and screeching. Rick having an abrasive scratchiness at times. Now they seem like their voices are more moderated or filtered, like what you’d do for a cleaner sounding recording.
Literally my exact comment after episode 1. Rick is 80-85% on point but it's that last 15-20% where the magic happens. It was even more apparent with Mr. Poopy Butthole. Part of his deal has always been to tow right up to the grating line, especially on the 'Ooweees" and held syllables.
I feel there is a slight issue with the comparison. The old video segments run longer which familiarizes the listeners ear to the original voice, and then it cuts to the new voice for about half the time or less which makes the sound seem much more similar to the original than it might if played for similar sequences of time. It's like the edit mildly biases the experience a bit imo but still pretty close sounding for sure. Think it was more noticeable with Poopy Butthole and Squantch personally.
You're misinterpreting what I meant slightly@@thewrongneighborhood7847, yes we are familiar with the voice as an audience from watching but that isnt contextually the point I was making. I meant that if you play the original actor first in a longer segment of time, and then play the second new voice actor right after doing a good impression for like 5 seconds it gives an auditory bias that creates the false impression that the performance is nearly identical BUT thats because the first original bit that is (like you mentioned) already familiar to us plays longer and we remember that familiar voice and performance. Then cherry picking a 3 - 4 second clip of the new actor getting just a few words tone right and putting it after makes it feel like the performances are more identical than they are. If this is still r/whoosh over here lemme know!
@@amalgamilabs537 i wasnt disagreeing with anything else you said, just makin a silly quip. i agree with everything you have to say on the topic buddy.
At least they tried to match the voices on this one solar opposites is clearly different. But it’s one thing to do a voice and then to also capture the mannerisms. And they missed it on that part. I think my time with both shows have come to an end. You can’t replace a main voice like that and think everyone is going to be ok with it.
Why do y’all love crying so much? It’s a whole different actor so no shit it sounds different. You act like a small difference in a voice is going to kill you or something
@@electricwizard5747 What does that have to do with him being a better voice actor? Obviously that person realizes allegations have been made. You are 100000000000000% a furry, t
If they actually had a Rick impersonator voice actor and trained it on Roiland's vocals, it would be basically indistinguishable. Wish they had gone that route
Gotta love “me too” culture, literally RUINING EVERYTHING. Sorry, but we need to flatten over privileged women, because they’re ruining our lives and getting away with it
I’m blown away every time I read comments under similar videos. Everyone is talking about how Rick doesn’t sound as good but Morty sounds great. I feel like the entirety of the Internet is playing a joke on me. Morty Sounds like he went through three years of puberty in between seasons while Rick sounds great to me. Rick is a little less high-pitched and doesn’t do the excited yelling Rick as well as Royland, but in a vacuum, he’s Miles better than the Morty voice actor re-creating Morty. The one thing that sticks out to me the most between the two of them is the mannerisms that Roiland added to the characters off script. There’s a little less energy.
@@benginaldclocker2891He said himself that he does this drunk method sometimes but it isn’t a common practice, most of the time he wasn’t drunk and to get most of his burps he said himself he drinks carbonated water
@@DeletedDevilDeletedAngelExactly for the drunk moments, but he doesn’t do it commonly, the comment I replied to basically said he did it commonly which he didn’t
It is really only truly noticeable side by side too. If you were watching it for the first time standalone you wouldnt even be able to tell its a new voice actor.
I think the new rick va is missing a tiny bit of fry and probably needed some eq'ing to clean up certain lines but otherwise does really well at selling it. Morty is hard to tell the difference in and is a welcome replacement
Agree completely with morty. Rick sounded fine in the beginning but got progressively worse in my opinion you literally hear the actor break his voice at the end when he talks about his pasta.
Morty is fine. Both voice and inflection. Rick sounds the same when speaking calmly, but when he gets manic it sounds strained. Luckily, a majority of the time he's calm and annoyed, not manic.
When he talks normally, he sounds like Rick, but when he tries to yell or tries to raise his voice, he sounds like jerry trying to imitate rick's voice. maybe next season he'll be better.
It sounds way better within the episodes. I forgot they had a new voice actors until episode 2 of the season. You can only really hear it side by side / when he's yelling mainly. The first voice clip (a rake situation) sounds exactly like him
i mean some times it’s noticeable but sometimes it’s not, but i’ve seen some people on RU-vid do a spot on impression so they shouldn’t have had any issues finding a replacement
New voices are so spot on. You are not giving these voice actors enough credit. Insane level of voice control to mimic Justin’s characters inflections so well. Honestly having a dedicated voice actor for each character does add a layer of tonality that you’ll hear if you’re listening for it but stop listening for it and you’ll forget about it.
hopefully these are either early takes, kinda like how the mario movie put its worst foot forward with chris pratt's lines the promotional material to generate engagement, or whoever's doin the new voices is able to develop their versions a bit more as time goes on. one of the hard parts of filling these shoes is that for all intents and purposes it's just roiland's shoes with sharpie scribbled all over em, cuz his vocal range is mostly a spectrum of how annoying or nervous he could make his own voice sound, so anything most impressionists can pull off isn't gonna sound nearly as natural. but again, for all we know someone had the bright idea to generate free advertising by gettin a buncha nerds on the internet to talk about how the voices in the promos don't sound quite right lmao
I think in some scenes they still used Rick's old voice, they might have had enough voicelines recorded for the first episode, so in some cases where it sounds too similar it might as well have been the old voice actor.
They had almost the entire season recorded and animated which they scrapped and rerecorded, if you watch you see the mouth flapping is sometimes weird because they had to match them
They just need to let their voices crackle and strain in that epic way Roiland could screech, even when he wasnt shouting. His best voice was Morty's shrill and cracking pre-pubescent whine. It really adds to Morty's insecure vibe. And somehow, Roiland turned that teen boy crack into an old man rasp. But that metric aside, they're really excellent covers.
There's no longer the gravel sound in Rick's speech which was what made it memorable. Everyone saying it sounds like he took cough medicine or stopped drinking are on point. He needs to sound like he's under the weather, but too much of a boss to give af.
Justin wasnt just the voice behind rick and morty he was also the co-creator of the series. I am betting the voices aren't going to be the only things off in the new season. I expect character personalities will also suffer
The dude showed up to work drunk 90% of the time and never actually did anything other than VA work after season 1. The writing will probably be the same.
As an impressionist, I can tell you this, this is probably one of the closest substitutes to Justin’s voice. That throat rasp is something fierce. Very, very hard to replicate. I’ve only heard one other person who’s been able to replicate it almost perfectly, which was that Sean person.
Yeah sure the voice isn't exactly the same but what were people expecting, I think it sounds pretty great and I can live with it lmao I'm just glad they didn't choose a completely different voice
What was i expecting? The original dubber maybe lol? Creator and personality of both the main characters. Or the show to ble closed down, funny they chose the route that is both greedy and steers thowards the social justice crowd.
@@hentaimage95 Nah, the show must go on. I don't mind having new voice actors for the protagonists at all, the great thing about R&M has always been the writing and Roiland leaving changes nothing in this regard.
@@hentaimage95bruh the social justice crowd tf you mean man is an abuser and possible groomer and apparently has had zero creative input on the show for the past 4-5 years according to everyone who works on it
Family guy hired Azzerz for the late voice actor for Cleveland, they should've done impressionists on solely the characters, idk why they had to hire previous actors, tons of ppl can do better yet still dont have an acting / VA career who would love one.
That first clip of Rick saying “a rake situation?” is basically perfect. It has the rasp and everything. I read the comments before watching anything and I thought “what are y’all talking about? That was amazing.” The rest of them, though, are indeed slightly different.
When he's just talking like normal I have a hard time telling the difference, but when Rick's voice is raised, it's easy to tell it's not the same person.
Justin's Rick was perfect because they both shared a drinking problem and this was reflected in the voice and character. Too bad he's been banned even after charges were dropped.
No they were dropped. "The district attorney's office told NPR charges were dropped against Roiland "as a result of having insufficient evidence" to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt"@@tennisgazelle
One big issue - when the new voice of Rick is projecting, especially on some of the slightly higher pitched speech, it’s too clean. It lacks the rasp and the bite. I find it surprisingly offputting, especially considering the amount of effort, the team put into finding good voice actors.
I bet if nobody knew the voice actors changed, they wouldn’t hear a difference. I wouldn’t either, I hear a slight difference here and there but not as much as everyone’s describing in the comments.
Rick's voice is missing the sourness and gravel. He sounds spot on to the positive Rick we saw in that one episode where they split their personalities. But honestly, its close enough, and will hopefully improve as it goes on. Im just glad the show will hopefully still be decent in spite the Roiland shit. Morty sounds really off to be honest, which is surprising, I wouldve assumed his voice would be easier to imitate. Hopefully that improves.
No way, Morty is spot on. But Rick's new VA really needs to add a more gravelly sound to the voice, and perhaps throw in some unpredictable raspy cracks to the tone
The voice of Morty is fine. However the old natural voice that Rick had is not there and it is scary close. But definitely a different voice. I’m excited for what Justin Roland will do for future work and roles cause he will always be a phenomenal voice actor.
"Wubba lubba dub dub M-Morty we've had to-to-to change our v- BURP-voices to AI because Roiland is a child abuser, Morty, h-he REALLY fucked up this time and God isn't real either" "aw jeez rick i cant believe we are voiced by ai now"
@@jttheone9475 If you message underage teenagers innapropiately with the intention of LITERALLY f**** them then its literal child abuse. And thats without even getting into the domestic abuse allegations themselves so hes still an abuser. Keep defending that nasty POS though I'm sure he's paying you well... NOT.
When I first heard the new VAs next to Justin’s it didnt sound too different. But literally didnt watch any R&M for a week and then listened to the new VAs again I noticed a huge difference.
In Season 7 Episode 5, we get to hear new Rick doing a voice line from a flashback. The line in question is from Season 1 Episode 10, and the original clip has the same line but voiced by Roiland.
I think the show is done for to be honest. A huge part of why it was successful was because the voice actors talent and humor. I feel like without roiled it leaves a huge hole in the show that is going to be hard to fill back in
@@draw2death421 I believe so, I'd have to look into it but I believe those were false allegtions too. The REAL reason Roiland wasn't brought back was because he was "Hard to work with".
I dont know a better way to describe but Justin Roilands Rick voice is a square but Ian Cardoni's is a circle. IDK why. The thing is I dont even mind the change as much as some people but still
Unpopular Opinion: Mortys New Voice is more noticeably off than Ricks New Voice. How does nobody else hear it though? Mortys New VA sounds less depressed and more energetic (higher Pitch on average during sentences) while Ricks New Voice just has minor differences in accentuation
there's some lines where if you told me it was Justin Rowland voicing Rick I'd believe it. Morty is drastically different though. Still, I think the new voices aren't horrible.
