Sean Schemmel questions the pressures of playing Goku

With a franchise as large as Dragon Ball there is a ton of pressure on those involved to provide the best of themselves in order to satisfy a world full of fans. This is magnified for those in the lead roles, as the English dub voice actor for Goku Sean Schemmel.

Comicbook.com recently had the opportunity to talk with Schemmel about his role in the Dragon Ball franchise and he understood the pressure on him for playing Goku .

Dragon Ball fans can sometimes get out of it a little bit hard, so Schemmel just wanted to get a little off the air, "There is some rage and fan demand I find it a little unreasonable, but I understand because I'm pbadionate about things that fascinate me too. "

Some fans may think that Schemmel is not doing his best, but he's just asking them to calm down a bit . "It's like I love pbadion and I'm really grateful for the fans and what they do and what they say, but relax a bit."

When fans claim that he does not understand Goku well, Schemmel wants fans to understand that it's not just that "Even though I knew him better, I do not know if it would change my arguments and [inflections] because when you have a line of dialogue, there are only so many ways to say that line. There are very few ways to do it. "

In fact, Schemmel's first stab had replaced it and matched it to the performance of someone else," … what people do not realize … J & I took the place of a Canadian actor who found the voice, made the voice in his own way, and I was forced to copy that and make it mine with very little. information from Japan. And I think I did a good job. "

Schemmel wants the fans to know that even though Dragon Ball Super was being adapted to English dub in the most ideal situation, it would not completely be under his control because it is a very specific set of circumstances that must be in order:

"… [H] Here is the ideal scenario. Akira Toriyama decides that he wants to do in English. He comes to America and helps to cast it. I have a discussion with him about the character. We have a lot of details about it. He is there in the first few sessions to guide my style, which has happened on other shows where I create a voice from scratch. This is the ideal scenario where I really feel that I can deliver exactly what all fans want, and they could not argue with him if Akira Toriyama was there. "

But there is no ideal scenario currently, and in the end Schemmel just wants fans to realize that it's a delicate process: there is pressure to play Goku no only from the fans, but from everyone involved in the process: "But [fans] must include multiple hands and channels, and everyone at Funimation and everyone else … that's my attitude and the filmmakers, we are all destroying our bad trying to get as much data as possible. "
