>	Here are my comments on the English dub (for the Xth time)

As a side note, I haven't had much chance to listen to the original Japanese 
voices, so my comments are solely based on what I've heard in the dubs

>
>Tenchi - Kill that guy

A bit too whiny...too bad Kermit Miller can't balance the voice more towards 
the one he uses for Yosho

>Ryoko - A really natural voice once gotten used to

Didn't take me much effort to get used to, and I really enjoy the acting work!

>Aeka - Have to turn volume to max to heat her talk, sounds like my grandma.

True, she is way more than a bit high-pitched and annoying.  A few times, 
you'll get a decent voice out of her, but only a few.

>Sasami - Cool, it's the usual American kid voice

This one works quite well.  I know I've seen the name of the actress (Katie 
Ashley) in the credits of some sitcom or another.  At any rate, she sounds 
appropriately like a kid, not like an adult trying to sound like a kid.

>Mihoshi - Voice is okay, dubbing/acting needs help

If you mean lip-syncing needs help, I don't think it's so much her fault.  
There were some portions where no amount of lip-synching attempts would have 
helped due to the mouth remaining closed.

As for the acting, I think it's good for the most part...needs a little 
work, but isn't too bad.

>Washuu - Sounds like she's from the south.  Only if that accent is gone...

South??  I don't think so.  I've got some deep roots in the south/southwest, 
and I don't think I've heard any southern belle sound like that! :-)  For 
me, the accent, whatever it is, works well.  Especially when she was playing 
nurse...

>Tsunami - Love this one, it not only sounds like Chisa's voice, but...

I have had no arguments about this voice, except "who did it???"  I 
seriously wish they would have given her screen credits!  Of course, I 
haven't seen ep. 9 yet, so I hope that she gets credit starting with that 
episode.

>Kagato - Like most of us, I like this voice better

I *loved* this voice!  Weston Peese gave Kagato a truly evil 
voice...well-mannered (to hide the evil beneath) to the very end.

>Yosho - Usual male voice, but why can't Tenchi have one???

Especially when you consider that Kermit Miller did both Tenchi and Yosho...

>
>	Flipping between the digital and analog channel, one can tell
>that Aeka and Washuu's voices sound like the Japanese ones at times, but
>in average it's just sad...

Gee...if I only had the budget for an LD player :-)

>	Tsunami not only sounds very close to the Japanese voice, but
>she even sounds a little more mature in the English one.  Aside from
>Kagato, her voice definitely comes in second.  (so is it dubbed by
>Sasami's voice actress?)

My favorites would be Kagato, Ryoko, Tsunami, and Sasami.

>	My friend was rolling on the floor when he read the name for
>Kagato's dubber - Weston Peese - "rest in peace"?  ^o^

Would have been one hell of a plot giveaway! :-)

>	Cabbit's voice sounds too much like a cat.

One has to wonder if Cabbit is the real name of this voice actress, since 
Ryo-ohki is referred to as a "cabbit" (half-cat half-rabbit).  At any rate, 
I can understand (to some extent) the emphasis on sounding like a 
cat...after all, what does a rabbit sound like? :-)
