Then again, I honestly think it's more the directing than anything. Think about it; Sabat is one of, if not THE worst FUNi has... And he is the one who normally DIRECTS their voice overs? Makes NO sense at all.
Sean Schemmel can be pretty good when he finds the right motivation, and he has Goku's personality down very well. I don't suppose I've seen anything else with him. Though I did imagine his voice for Alexander Luthor while reading Crisis on Infinite Earths. (Why? I have no idea.)
I don't know what their deal is with Chris Sabat. Are they still using him for voice director? I thought they were using John Burgmeier more now. I just remember that they gave Sabat too many damn voices to do in the DragonBall series... and they all sucked. Vegeta, Piccolo, Yamucha, Kami-sama... the list goes on.
And I agree that Sean Schemmel's Goku can be pretty decent at times, but what he did to Kaio-sama's voice is completely intolerable. Makes me shudder just thinking about it.
No wonder I never watch the dub anymore. Or any dubbed anime for that matter...
