If he sounds like Goku, then that would be ironic because the guy that did Goku in the FUNimation version of Dragon Ball Z did Wapol in the 4kids dub of One Piece.
there are soooo l many points in this anime where that happens. It's a wonder no one dies from crashing on their heads after flying astronomical distances!
I know that Sean Schemmel does Wapol in the 4kids dub (Schemmel being the voice of Son Goku), but I don't know about the Funimation dub. It sounds like him though.
It seems direct links can't be posted, so search YouTube with the codes for the vids I'm talking about; the first is Schemmel's Russian thumb character from the Thumb Wrestling Fed. show, and the second's a clip from 4Kids' OP.
alright. I found him. But what does he have to do with Wapol? Just because the two don't sound the same doesn't mean they're not done by the same actor? Nearly every source I've seen credits Sean with voicing 4kids Wapol.
Is it something besides Wikipedia, IMDb, AAN, or any other user-submitting database? 4Kids never credited OP voice actors with their specific characters; online credit lists, for the most part, are based of educated guesswork and speculation. In this case, that specualtion happens to be wrong.
Both are over-the-top Russian-esqe characters that sound nothing alike? Schemmel has a very distinctive voice, no matter what pitch or accent he uses; if it doesn't sound like him, it's likely NOT him.
isn't part of being a voice actor being able to disguise your voice if need be? haven't you ever heard a voice and when you found out the voice actor thought, "THAT'S who did his voice?!"
Certainly. Maybe that's why it's so surprising to imagine the voice of Zolo and Wapol being one and the same. :)
An actor can only use their voice as so many roles in so many shows before their unique vocal tics start to become apparent. Just listen to any clip of 4Kids Zolo when he's yelling and you'll hear the resemblance.
if English dub is so bad then why watch and comment on it?

if ya saw the other dvds its the same man that voiced don krieg if ya watch full metal alchemist its cornello
Militarymight101 2 years ago
And Sean Schemmel did NOT voice Wapol from 4Kids; that would be Marc Daraison (4Kids Zolo).
batwing321 2 years ago
no daraison voiced genzo and the guy that found chopper goku voiced wapol
Militarymight101 2 years ago
See, I had this EXACT conversation with another guy. Check the earlier comments for my explanation, but I assure you that Schemmel was never Wapol.

No, no he doesn't sound like Goku.
Why does everyone assume Sean Schemmel voiced Wapol in 4Kids' version? It is definitely not him; more than likely it was Marc Daraison (4Kids Zolo).

because he did. it was definitely not marc

Heres Schemmel using the type of accent 4Kids Wapol had: drZo21SAlwY
And here, at points starting with 0:26, is 4Kids Wapol: FlUVEu82iag
Compare, if you will.
batwing321 2 years ago
I'm confused. What are those codes and how is comparing 4kids wapol to funimation's going to convince me?
PimpOutMyPelican 2 years ago
It seems direct links can't be posted, so search YouTube with the codes for the vids I'm talking about; the first is Schemmel's Russian thumb character from the Thumb Wrestling Fed. show, and the second's a clip from 4Kids' OP.
batwing321 2 years ago
Forgive me, but i'm having trouble locating these clips. what's Schemmel's character's name?
PimpOutMyPelican 2 years ago
I put the wrong code in; that's probably why it didn't work. Copy and paste thise into the search bar: k51jG7u0Tcs
Go to 0:40; it's the thumb with the black hat with a red star, Colonel Cossack.
batwing321 2 years ago
