Derpy explains her new voice

[HedgehogWill]

maybe a better explanation would be: "I had some thing in my mouth at the time..." or: "I accident stepped in some poison joke and had to work before Zecora brewed up the cure..."

so if you decide to republish to make a more believable reason try one of these...

[WolvesBane95]

Derpy Hooves was the greatest gift a studio can give it's fans. She was a sign that they knew about us an what we do, and they wanted to give us something to show us that they appreciate us. Derpy is a symbol for the community, and to have her taken away was just hurtful.

[iloveanime654]

HER NAME IS DITZY!!!!!!!-+

[FurbyGirl111]

@iloveanime654 no..

[Royboy272]

@iloveanime654 never... Derpy Hooves will forever be in our hearts, no matter what the media tries to do!

[benzoe590]

Toodle Muffins?

[JaceyDemy]

This right here is the reason I like the fact that they changed her voice in the iTunes release. THIS is always how I pictured Miss Hooves. I'm surprised that people aren't happier that the change made her sound more like BDR here.

[ghostrider3009]

,and the universe is right again. Glad you got a throat lozenge Derpy. ^_-

[Nekorin]

I think you do a cuter voice than both the ones on the show. They should hire you.

[coonyman10]

don't pay attention to the haters, this has plenty of potential, voice just needs a little polish.

[JaviXNovaX]

Im sorry but imo this new voice sucks ass.

[Serothicution]

MUFFINS! End of interview.

[backbeyond]

HAHAHA you fucking suck.. stop trying to be derpy, you'll never be her. fucking asshole, no-life motherFUCKER.

Ugly fucking wannabe voice. disgusting. oh and disliked this fail of a video.

[DerpysLittleMuffin]

@backbeyond actually, it sounds pretty accurate. i like it and you know, just because you don't doesn't mean everyone agrees with you.i think that this Derpy sounds beautiful and accurate. Honestly, i don't think you could be called a brony. Bronies are supposed to love and tolerate. They should not subside to such a cruel and degrading comment. and for YOUto say someone has no life, is ironic and hippocritical. with most respect,

~DLM

[LittleMangaColours]

@backbeyond BaldDumboRat just does this for fun in her spare time.

she doesnt want to be derpy she just does this voice which people request lines and things. plus dont say they have no life when they are clearly alive XD

[starpony8642]

....Whats this?... I FORGOT TO SUBSCRIBE. After all these videos of BaldDumboRat i have watched.... *presses Subscribe button*... There.

[PkmnHackQuartzKk]

Hasbro, I am disappoint with you.

TO THE MOON WITH YOU!!

[GoodrichTires]

@PkmnHackQuartzKk lol i am a allicorn of royalty. how may i be of serverice?

[fabiovfaria]

DERPY Y U NO KICK HASBRO'S ASS THEN CALL MOLESTIA TO PUNISH THEM PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE

[GoodrichTires]

@fabiovfaria XD the 4th wall hasnt broken................yet

[9sept1999]

she sounds like my freind suzan mathers.

[jau682]

So.... cute.... I had to suppress my smile until it turned into tears.

[mauryelhombremono]

i hate the new voice, it makes the character looks sarcastic until handicapped, it's not so cute anymore.

[greendog343]

you know what i think they could have avoided the derpy delima (both of them) had they hired you to do her voice

[DoubleOHamster]

@BreakingGravity72 I'm going to pretend you didn't say that.

Actually, I'm going to pretend you don't exist, so I might be able to pretend people like you

don't exist, and that they don't need to die.

[BreakingGravity72]

@DoubleOHamster ditto

[zaldude]

It's like a derpy version of Pinkie Pie! XD Fits pretty well actually. :P

[icywinterof88]

....War...ended

[Ryptyde13]

I'd be scared out of my fuckin mind to do cowgirl with Derpy. Her ass would rip me in half.

[cursedclash]

nice great job

[Aperturecore1004]

*insert Dead Space 2 infector death*

[2ndflare54]

I love derpy. I hope they don't seriously take her out of mlp!

[Aygiggs]

@2ndflare54 only the retarded likenesses of her...

[2ndflare54]

@Aygiggs Oh my fuck, she isn't based off of anything or anyone "retarded" at all! She is just a bit clumsy and such, but isn't disabled. Derp isn't even a derogatory term, it's an action word when you mess up. Unless you mean that all disabled people mess up?

[Aygiggs]

@2ndflare54 Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalm Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­wwwwwwnnn!

[2ndflare54]

@Aygiggs I am. That was a question mark, not an exclamation.

[lankygit101]

I never thought Tabitha sounded like a boy when I first heard Derpy speak. Now I know she was trying to sound like a boy I can kind of hear the masculinity, but I found the voice just as endearing as if Tabitha had known she was voicing a female character.

[CaptainAlliance]

I'm confuzzled

O.a

[FirstPistolSammy]

online voice is too young...like not dinky's mom.

[polithaxxz]

SAVE DERPY HOOVES !!!!

[NightmareSpriter]

Your not the real voice actor are you?

[TheShadowWolfie]

This voice works. :3

[coolstorybrosefful]

sad that if we don't get enough signs in the petition than Derpy will be deleted from the series. I am not fucking around this is serious Hasbro will delete derpy from the show

[Bluemansonic]

Super Special Green Bingle Bangle Boingle Ever!

[completechaos21]

Wait.....bubble flank.........*facepalms then dies of laughter*

[Spiritplumber]

HASBRO, Y U NO HIRE BALDDUMBORAT

[PoisonousSage]

Her voice reminds me of Ahiru from Princess Tutu for some reason. o_o;; 

[SketchyGrl]

You sound kinda like Pinkiepie with a cold. ^_^

[check2youable]

i'll be honest with you. when i heard derpy's voice, the last thing i thought was they were trying to make her sound mentally disabled. never knew it.

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

@check2youable most of it was fine, but "go applejack! WOOOO!!"?

[edwardcullenisnmbr1]

ok That was the cutest thing I have ever heard! :D

[FemaleGallade]

I just chalked it up to allergies.

[Pyre]

Is it....weird that BaldDumboRat hits not only Derpy's original canon voice, but also something rather close to what the Hysterical Soccer Mom edit sounded like (but better)?

[LoneSeraph2100]

Her earlier voice actually did sound too much like Rainbow Dash imo. It was awesome and I loved it, but it just felt like the same Rainbow Dash just in a lower/slower tone. This actually gives a genuine sense of character and individuality to Derpy

[calfitz10]

Now you need to upload 'Derpy explains her new new voice'.

[Stardustchild01]

That doesn't explain why Rainbow Dash didn't mention her name. But this was cute.

[ImTrollingRWJ]

I like how people had complete and utter bitchfits about her voice. I'm not sure if it was because she was meant to be mentally disabled or what, and if they found it offensive they can go die. It's pretty much like this, I think it's nice that there's a cute, lovable disabled pony. It might make that on person out there struggling with a problem that they can over-come whatever and be happy and be successful. She's adorable, and people need to get over it. Gah. Just my $0.02, though.

[TopNotchBrony]

@ImTrollingRWJ Yep that's society. Anyone who speaks even slightly differently is classed as 'disabled' and anyone who broadcasts this is labeled as 'making fun of disabled people'. This world sometimes...

[toocheaptobuyatripod]

Now explain THAT voice! :(

[ebilly99]

Well BDR I got bad news they changed Derpy again :(

[panda120795]

Now you have to explain why she was in a snow globe lol

[rukasu01]

I derp'd at "I'll get the wing of it"

[aqdrobert]

Maybe she was hit by her own lightning?

[rukasu01]

@aqdrobert

Are normal pagusi equipped to deal with lighting strikes, like late model human aircraft? If so, how? Just curious.

[kilalarockssocks]

TOODLE MUFFINS!!!!!

[Awesom3Gamer]

IT WAS THE MUFFINS

THERE WAS SPECIAL STUFF IN HER MUFFINS

[javis88h]

I thought she had a cold

[RagingSeraphim]

Doesn't matter what Tabitha thought anymore, the voice has now become fanon!

[Sentinel373]

Am i the only one who actualy loved the original voice for derpy?

[3min46sec]

@Sentinel373 By the fifth time I listened to it I found it endearing

[cadman2300]

@Sentinel373 Not really. I thought her low-pitched voice was just fine. Or as the old saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[JaviXNovaX]

@Sentinel373 nope

[speedstriker]

New head cannon!

[LuigiTailsPrower]

I'm not the only one who loves this Derpy voice AND Tabitha's a lot, am I?

[thefenixfamily]

@LuigiTailsPrower

i think both of them are awesome! :3

[ATRaddi]

i love this voice XD

[ScootaLootaDiamond1]

Toodle muffins? Never heard of that flavour but I WANT IT NOW!!!!!

[Fawriel]

Oh dear lord this was ridiculously adorable.

[powergannon]

Toodle muffiins?  Yes. Toodle muffins. I think I will be adopting that as my catchphrase for now on, thank you very much.

[bobbygimenez]

Why Derpy look like that?...Oh she did something in the bed If you know what i mean.

[EdXLover1]

@bobbygimenez In the episode "The Last Roundup", she shocked herself with a cloud. xD

[Nintendon85]

I'm sure you've heard it a million times, but you make an adorable Derpy.

[ricardogriva]

I still think your voice is very similar to the Derpy from the show.

[needthistool]

BDR Depry is best Derpy.

[joseph66er]

MUFFINS!!!!!!!!

[TheNathvar]

The real reason for her voice:

Tabitha didn't know Derpy was a girl.

[CaptainAlliance]

@TheNathvar Same.

[Pyre]

@TheNathvar

Tabitha St FREAKING Germain. Even her *mistakes* sound awesome!

Wait...wait...does this mean Derpy's canon voice (because seriously, the 'edited for soccer moms' one doesn't matter) is, itself, a 'derp'?

HAH!

[VetteFanZR1]

@TheNathvar technically, but whats the fun in that?

[BBoy2020]

@TheNathvar Which is kinda silly when you think about, cause...there's only like, three prominent male characters in the show.

[joblessalex]

@SalaComMander Sorry about that. I am a grammar pony and enjoy it. That was not meant to be rude, only as a harsh awakening. I find things are remembered better with that technique than any other.

[theonlyafropuff]

we like your voice much much more. nuff said.

[Southpaw658]

Nice i like it in a way

[ButterflyFrosting]

You are so moe.

[ricardogriva]

@ButterflyFrosting HAHAHAHAHA! moe is best pony.

[Loof42]

I'm sorry, but you're out of work. Might as well close your account. Canon voice is better, by the way.

[54AgeOfRogue54]

@Loof42 Well that's a matter of opinion isn't it?

[Davtwan]

@Loof42 Tabitha herself has e-mailed her complementing on her wonderful voice work and even recommended some radio projects to her.

She's now even closer to getting a job than you think because of the canon voice. *awsm face*

[Loof42]

@Davtwan Which has nothing to do with the point I was making.

[DarthFennec]

Yes. This excuse makes me happy.

[LordMorde]

HHHHHHHNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG i think i just died from the cuteness...

[21powah]

I approve. I approve so hard! Your Derpy voice will always be best voice!

[VinnyVanYiffy]

I'm so proud of how promptly and efficiently the fandom patches up problems the actual show inadvertently causes, you see, people? This is what REAL fans do, NOT CAUSE MORE GLARING PROBLEMS AND PRACTICALLY GET A CHARACTER WE HELPED CREATE BE REMOVED.

[Dewani90]

YAY APPLEJACK WOOOOOOOOOOOO -IZ DRUNK- -FAINTS-

btw nice derpy voice

(this message was brought to you by materea, that's the word i had to write and is also the favorite thing for yuffie from finalfantasy7 to steal)

[SteampunkFridgeRider]

YOUR DERPY VOICE IS SO CUTE ^^

[W0lfPack98]

@Aetheilas can you pls explain what you mean by a boxxy voice?sertintly not a foxxy voice that just wouldent fit but do you mean like rainbow dash's voice? pls explain

[W0lfPack98]

is derpy...a boy?cuz if she is then im going to face palm my self after 25 years of calling him a her

[SteampunkFridgeRider]

@W0lfPack98 nope. derpy is definatly a girl.

[falsepride22]

@abc123unmegrrl What's the fun in that I love the arguments! Discord FTW!!!

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

I like BDR's voice. But the one Tabitha gave her is fine too.

[AllTheDamnPancakes]

How to date Bald Dumbo Rat:

Step 1: wait for voice to HURR

Step 2:???

Step 3: profit.

[Crowbarius]

This voice is actually fantastic. You really nailed the silliness. Kudos to you, madam!

[strifeexcalibur]

Ditzy "Derpy" Doo

[ParanoidCactus]

Crap! Darn you Hasbro! I lost a bet! I will still always call you Ditzy!

[Titan360]

Actually, you don't need to explain anything Derpy.

...Bon Bon's and the flower ponies' voices change every single time they show up.

*man voice* I didn't put those in my BAAAG.

*Jersey voice* That AMAZING Doll....

[shiroskunkwolfe]

@Titan360 I wouldn't mind Bon Bon's voice changing if it weren't so irritating each time. >_<

[LightofLand]

When I'm talking in class or giving a speech, I get a strange deep voice that I have trouble even mimicking in other situations.

So yeah, I'm fine with this.

[marblejester]

I've never met BaldDumboRat in person, yet I can easily imagine her dropping her jaw when they officially gave Derpy a voice and said her name.

[Ryoske6]

Tabitha St. Germain was unaware that Derpy was female.

[Goderich1942]

@Ryoske6 EPIC FAILURE

[blackwingangel04]

@Ryoske6 To be entirely fair, Dash sounds like a boy, too. So it's not like it's an issue.

[WillRennar]

Oh. I figured you just had a cold or something. My mistake!

[heathergee28]

To be honest, this sounds a lot more like a pony that would be called Ditzy Doo, and DH's canon voice sounds more like a Derpy. if we ever get a cute blondie named Ditzy, maybe related to Derpy, this is the voice I'd want her to have.

*if it ends up being that DD and DH are seperate ponies and not alt names

[TheNukabomb]

and thats how fillys are made ............. wtf!

[TheNukabomb]

Derp

[thelinkonar]

this is good but i just prefer canon derpy's voice... i just think it fits her character more really, and to the people who are down talking those who share my opinion as well grow up will you? we all are entitled to have an opinion so knock it off it's getting to a point were i can't even take you serious. compliments to her derpy voice here but, again, i prefer canon derpy's and if you have a problem with that feel free to whine about it all you want it's not going to change how i feel.

[frostfirei]

You sounds, like the one who did Sabrina, on the Sabrina radio play.

[shiroskunkwolfe]

@frostfirei Oh, horse-feathers, I am _so_ far behind on that one...and the comic. O_o

[PsychedelicBrony]

Good news for your fanon voice, Rat! (assumes you've heard the news about Tabitha's gender Derp)

[CaptainTooner]

I actually find it funny that Tabitha didn't even know the character was a girl. 

[flintyoungblood]

I think Tabitha should listen to you BDR. we'd have this voice thing straightened out quick.

[dogman15]

@flintyoungblood: BDR actually e-mailed Tabitha. Go check out her Tumblr page (same username).

[dogman15]

(continued) Surely two or more of those people were present when Tabitha was recording her Derpy lines and they could have told her that Derpy was phyisically designed as a female character and had been female ever since the first episode?

Did they have auditions for the role of Derpy? Based on this mistake, it doesn't seem so. I wonder how they chose Tabitha to voice her?

[dogman15]

And guess what? Now Tabitha comes out saying that she thought Derpy was male, and no one showed her a picture of what Derpy looks like. It's not just Tabitha's fault; We should also blame Terry Klassen, the voice director, James Wootton, the co-director, Jayson Thiessen, the supervising director, and Sarah Wall, the producer.

[die2234]

I thought you had a Head Cold,like me.

[RainproDash]

Ms Ditzy Doo/Derpy, you are the honorary 7th member of the Mane Cast in my mind.

[starforceleeexe]

*giggles* Hehe Bubble Flank...

[SM853]

This fanon voice is still good though.

Very cute.

[SM853]

Derpy's voice in the show is better.

Yeah, I said it.

Come at me, bro(nie)s.

[pvtread]

YO DERPY, it was realy cool hearing you talk in the episode, i hope you get treated better in future ones, but still congrads on becomeing cannon, and hope to see more of you soon, in my opinion you are now the 7th in the episode, and no one can change that, all ponys are best btw

[CosplayingDoll]

Please redub the episode!

[MrPAGENIS]

@CosplayingDoll she all ready did

[RedBoxedLunch]

Can we put side the voice for a moment and agree on something?

Super Special Green Bingle Bangle Boingle Lever is the greatest name ever.

[shiroskunkwolfe]

@RedBoxedLunch *removes pipe from mouth* Hmm, indeed. *replaces pipe*

[dancinninja]

Thank you Derpy for telling us! I was getting worried that you were sick or something! Ponies shouldn't work when they're sick. Why, they would only get sicker!

[Armystuntman]

I refuse to believe the canon voice is canon.

To me, your voice is 100% Derpy, and no one can change it.

[beatles123]

@Armystuntman Then you're not giving the actual derpy a chance...

[GalacticBloopy]

Personally, I think a better explanation is that Ditzy Doo is an actress who changes her voice to play the character Derpy Hooves. That said, I like Tabitha's voice.

[Doughboy123x]

Thanks for that explanation!

I really wanted to know.

[commode7x]

Tabitha St. Germain did a pretty okay impression of Derpy, but she doesn't compare to the original.

[mdalsted]

XD Somehow, I see Derpy as a cute female version of Chester A. Bum. LOL

[flutterrage]

toddle muffins XD

[Mikelumpkin]

they realy need to hire you for the voice of derpy hooves

[mdalsted]

I agree with cynderthedragoness99; this is how it should be. Fanon!voice most of the time, and canon!voice when excited.

[SirKobrias]

the mayor's house must have been made out of weak wood for you to break it so easily =P

[cynderthedragoness99]

TO everyone who says this is a bad"excuse".This is a perfectly good reason for her voice to have "changed".My voice changes at times too.When Im excited=high pitched.When Im beging shy=quite and more girlish.And when im annoyed=deeper.

So this is a perfectly fine reason.I like BDR's fanon voice better,it sounds more...Derpy.So yes,whine and cry however much you want but this is right.Goodbey .3.

[BaldDumboRat]

@cynderthedragoness99

My voice gets deeper and sounds really "HHUURR" when I get excited >_>

[xcess7]

@cynderthedragoness99 I couldn't agree more =^)

[OneBiasedOpinion]

@cynderthedragoness99 Yeah, mine does the exact same thing, except it's not so much the pitch that changes as much as the speed and volume!

:3

[VideoPaladin]

Heh, nice. Interesting explantion about the new voice.

[abc123unmegrrl]

well, if anypony reading this is in the boat of Derpy=Ditzy, then we shall call show!Derpy Derpy and BDR!Derpy Ditzy.

NOW EVERYPONY CALM THE BUCK DOWN.

[IONindustries627]

Hasbro! Hire balddumborat for Derpy plz!!!! She is best Derpy!!!!!! O.o How can you not see that?

[Slashthekitsune]

Your description of these events has earned you a reward.

One extra large and fluffy blueberry muffin!

[thecustomizer1]

Hmm, yeah, your voice is much better than the other one. :D

[blade10000]

But we love your bubble flank!

[9erSmith]

so what your saying is you have super-pony strength but you can't just use it at will like fluttershy?

[Slench101]

I like the idea that the real derpy (the one you voice) is an actress, and in the show she uses the other voice because that's what she's paid to do
