Anime Expo '08 - Vic Talks About How He First Knew Ouran

[getheyon]

Haha lol he sounds like exactly like Tamaki!!!! ( I know I sound stupid....) but like....is he even trying to sound like him? because what I mean is how he actually tries to do Tamaki's voice............Where his /Normal/ voice still sounds like Tamaki's!!

[CrisisCoreProduction]

WEWT!!! GO VIC!!!

O..M...F...G...

We have something in common...

We fell in love with something that we didn't wanna fall in love with...

[FoxHanyou]

And Laura Bailey, who played Lust in FMA plays Kanako in Ouran. :3

[iloveuto88]

God, it's like every single FMA voice actor has some kind of role in the series lol. But yeah, I remember when Vic was always like "I wanna be Tamaki!" before they were actually casting for Ouran.

[CurlyHairedDemon]

I can't wait till Ouran comes out in English! It'll be like an FMA reunion!

[harestardai17]

that's so true! Ed, Winry, Roy, Al, AND Armstrong's voices are in this show XD

[CurlyHairedDemon]

really? I just knew about the first 3! who do the others play?

[harestardai17]

Aaron Dismuke (Al) plays as Hunny's younger brother and Chris Sabat (Armstrong) plays as Kasanoda, I think? The guy with the red hair near the end of the Ouran series. And I just found out that Chris Cason, the voice of Gluttony, is also in it, playing as Chikage Ukyo in episode 14. XD That's a whole lot of FMA characters again XD

[tosilogsan]

i think the girl that plays hunny played wrath as well...

[SomwhereInNowhere]

Yup Luci Christian plays wrath and honey =)

[harestardai17]

Hold on, also forgot Kevin M. Connolly who plays as Tomochika Sakyo in episode 14. He did the voice of Kain Feury from FMA too XD

(it's all on the Funimation website XD)

[ChazzyPinkFYI]

I think also Jean Havoc's voice actor, Mike McFarland plays Ranka.

[ShinRaVII]

Wow he really sounds Ed!(sometimes actors disquise their voices) I felt as if it was actually Ed talking. Well anyway, good for you Vic you got to voice Tamaki. Fun(kinda) story though.

[Mistynia]

VIC, YOU ARE AWESOME! :D

He loves Tamaki, but who doesn't? xD

[harestardai17]

true, true XD

[FullMetalSpork365]

lol its so true! all of it!

[DisappearingBunny]

i.. love you vic!!!

[YepYepYepNo]

Errr. why are they all dressed up...? This is so weird.... xD but its really cool!! =D

[xcwaterboy]

They're dressed up because it's a con and because that's what you do there, lol. But seriously, it's all just for fun. I really don't think that it's weird...it just looks like they're enjoying themselves!

[envy400]

YOU TELL EM VIC!!!!

That's what we fans are here for! It's not just about the autographs. It's not about the glomps! It's all about American Dream!

ANY of us would've introduce to Ouran High School if we wanted to! XD

[xandersnape]

haha! I knew a soon as funimation announced that they were dubbing ouran that Vic was going to be Tamaki. when he was at supanova a few years ago he signed my wall scroll and manga of fma.. he said my hair was really cool cuz its blue ^.^

[kghbandgeek]

TRAVIS GOT A PART TOO!!! <3<3<3

[Renvi]

Christian voice actors FTW. :]

[kuramaskitsune15]

Yes someone agrees with me on this!

[Renvi]

:D Of course!

God Bless ~

[kuramaskitsune15]

God Bless You too. ^^

[Careline18]

This guy is very popular isn't he?

[iPhaerii]

Tamaki + Vic Mignogna = Pure OWNAGE & love.

[maesluvr]

Yay! Vic,Travis,& Mike!!!!!!! AND Caitlin! Woot! Yay! GO Vic~!

[haruhist91]

omg i was standing next to vic by the elevator outside the dealer's hall and i didnt even kno it was him lol! what's worse was that i was takin off my shoes right in front of him to =P.

i think he was great in FMA, other than that...meh...

[harestardai17]

really?! LOL!! the closest i got to him was during the closing ceremonies when he got off the stage and was standing behind the rope...but i didn't get a picture or autograph from him, i was mad at myself XD

[TheQueenOfMediocrity]

Tamaki's my very favorite. I don't think most of Vic's roles have sounded very Tamaki-like, but since he wanted that part so much there's no way he would just half-ass it. It will be interesting to hear his interpretation.

[javakat343]

I've heard snippits at panels of fan requested tamaki lines and they were pretty convincing...but its going to be hard for him, no doubt.

[ladyferg]

This is the same thing I thought. It didn't really match when I thought about it in my head...but he's so brillaint I'm sure he will do a great job!

[EnkaiNami]

Gee, it's not overreacting at all to viscously lash out at a man because you don't think he'll do a good job voice acting with an anime you like. No, that's totally rational.

C'mon. I LOVE anime and I have dubs that I dislike/are okay with, but viscously swearing at the guy over something like this is pointless and really dumb.

[EnkaiNami]

For the record, I'm not bashing OPINIONS, I'm just bashing people who swear and badmouth someone for just getting picked for a voice acting role.

[OkazakiAkane]

That's rather rare from what I've seen; most people here don't like people who even state their opinion :P

[EnkaiNami]

No, I don't mind if people worry that someone might do bad or whatever, just when it becomes personal bashing/swearing at the voice actor (like calling him names).

[OkazakiAkane]

I can't help but laugh at how nearly all of the posts which say that he's going to do badly are negatives, and the opposite are positives.

[YuesWoman]

So happy Vic was cast as Tamaki! Can't wait to hear the English dub!

[Gaarasonlyone]

Perfect voice for him!!!!

[OMGTouche]

Atleast Vic has good taste in anime

[christine1479]

vic should have done hikaru!!!!!*cries* that was my dream from the beginning. hikaru is my fav character and vic is my fav actor. *sulks in tamaki style emo corner*

[harestardai17]

lol, but it would be hard to match Vic's voice if he voiced one of the twins O_o

[christine1479]

i dont think so...i mean...he did dark on d.n.angel. who was young and very "devil" like. and he did fine. i love vic. and i love hikaru....ahhh...i'm just a fan girl who's upset because she doesn't even know who the hell the va for her fav character is....i dont recognize hika's va. at all....*pouts*

[kirakirainu]

Just because they're your favorites doesn't mean that in auditions his voice would've suited Hikaru best, though admittedly I'm skeptical about how this other guy can handle Hikaru, I've never heard of that guy.

[christine1479]

i know. the only character i know he's done the voice of is watanuki on tsubasa and xx holic. and i dont like it. it doesn't sound like it would suit hikaru.

[GaarasTeddyBear123]

thanks, Vic <3

[schmexyneko]

i agree w/ ppl who say he wont d tamaki's voice justice, they should have had someone w/ amore manly and slightly elegnt voice but... i'll still love ouran so i'll probly still buy it ^^

[HeartlessAngel78]

I applaud Greg for such a wonderful role. Congrats to the others as well. I'm a little unsure, but no doubt I'll still buy it. [/shrug]

[kaoishii]

someone sent him a dvd? Was it legit? If it was just a japanese import than I'm not sure how he would have understood it, but if it was a fansub burned to a dvd...let's just say old Greg was probably giving him the evil eye at that moment.

[HigatsukuTaishi]

It was probably a fansub, I'm pretty sure that Japanese DVDs don't put english subtitles on their dvds...Greg must be so dissapointed. XD

[rattmice]

That showboating double fuck.

[witchandelyonpower]

now i cant wait for the dub. i knew he would get it

[Akamisago]

You would prefer someone else, then name him!

[sweetxsorrow27]

It doesn't matter even it someone else named a different actor. It's final.

Honestly I'm not too thrilled. I love Vic and all, but... *shrugs* I'll have to wait to see the first episode. I'm a little iffy on all of the cast, but must what and see.

[OkazakiAkane]

I would prefer no dub at all, but unfortunately, that's not going to happen. Besides, I never said that I would prefer someone else. All I said was that he's not going to do Tamaki justice. You really should read things through better...

[Akamisago]

And you should not make such a biased opinion before the DVD has even come out.

[OkazakiAkane]

I've heard his voice from his previous work, as well as from other videos. That is not the voice of Tamaki. My opinion is based upon that, and not just from my biased self.

[priestfan88]

Good for Vic, he's a great actor and I'm sure he'll do Tamaki justice. Of course everyone is going to compare him to Miyano-san, it'll just be a different take on Tamaki, apples and oranges if you will.

[yamiyugifangirl]

*squeals* YES HE GOT IT XDDDDD......oh geez i had an idea in my head that Vic would wear the ouran outfit and run towards the stage in excitement while the girls scream like crazy and like...most of that idea came true XDDD Vic is wearing the outfit XDDDDDD i can't wait to see ouran

[harestardai17]

i know! it was crazy how Caitlin Glass didn't even say Vic's last name and all the girls started screaming as he ran on stage with his Ouran blazer. It was really funny and excting XD

[yamiyugifangirl]

OoO...are you serious?! that actually happened?!!!!

[harestardai17]

yea! Caitlin said "And another actor who's last name is also hard to pronounce, Vic-" and right then everyone started screaming and Vic ran on stage with his Ouran blazer. I'm not kidding, that's exactly what happened! (he also ran to Caitlin and dipped her like in a waltz dance before he sat down, lol)

[animebex]

i'm so happy for him YAY!!!, Awsome they're all in cosplay, oh i wish i was there

[Eszra]

Vic's in Cosplay!!!!!

[DaKeybladeMasterz]

Aw how cool! I fell in love with Tamaki Suou too! Only... Im a girl... and Im not famous... Whoooo! Well, at least he and Caitlin love their characters.

[harestardai17]

yea its crazy how both of them have the two main character voices for Ouran and both of them also voiced Edward Elric and Winry Rockbell from Fullmetal Alchemist...I just found that interesting, lol.

[lmleland]

omg, did Greg Ayers dye his hair red for his character?! XD that's so awesome!

[wickedlady]

I think he did...that is cool....

[EatRune]

When I met him, his hair looked dyed . . . not red though.
