Naruto's voice: It's time...

WackyFiasco 42902 cr points Send Message: 44 / F / City of Dis Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 8/9/11, edited 8/9/11 OK it's beginning to bother me, the persisting female-boy voice-overs for Naruto, when he is approaching his late teens. Nothing against the very talented women who have supported his character development over the years, however, I think the time has really come... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyooALwfxO8 He doesn't necessarily have to have a LOW voice, just not one that is so obviously a woman-boy. Any ideas on who you think should speak for Naruto, once his vocal chords start settling into the adult timbre? I wouldn't mind either Masakazu Morita or Takashi Kondō for the Japanese voice-over. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masakazu_Morita http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takashi_Kondo No clue for English, halp.

Moreover, I'm very curious - my voice began to break at 11, and I always had a deeper voice than the other kids. But Naruto is 16, and he sounds like a 12 year old?

Plus, I believe Takeuchi does a really nice job no matter what you think of females doing male roles. Romi Park is another fine example; can't think of anyone else as Ed and I couldn't think of anyone else voicing Naruto. Though, I wouldn't have any substantial objections to a change in Naruto's seiyu if it does take place.
