Comes off more as a british accent towards the end, greg has that chinese eastern voice

If you want to do Mako comparisons, do the original intro

OP you really got to understand that there's more to voice acting than voice. There's acting, too. And Greg Baldwin is a pretty good actor. Not as good as Mako, but pretty good.

All these guys who can do """impressions""" can't act for shit, so it's a moot point how """close""" they sound.

Baldwin isn't doing a fucking Mako impression, he's doing his own voice of Aku.

Mako is fucking irreplaceable, that's why Greg isn't even trying to pretend he's him as Aku.
Get that through your thick fucking skulls and stop posting these shitty as fuck impressions.

While I like greg, this was pretty good, thanks for sharing OP

That's what happens when you open the pool of possible candidates to millions.

Greg isn't doing a Mako impression though, holy shit he's doing his own thing

Having an impersonator try to sound like Mako would cheapen the whole thing.

Greg can act and often gets the infliction of what he's trying to convey right. All these impersonators sound like Mako but can't actually read the lines with their intended emotions for shit.

>>91627984
>Greg
>sounding like Aku
You need to clean your ears, boy. He could at least ditch the Russian accent.

You must have an actual Asian accent to impersonate Mako well enough.

This one's really great. Not an impression, just digitally altering Baldwin's voice:

>>91627984

Aku = Mako. Sounding like Aku and not like Mako doesn't make any sense. How are you even making this insane rationalization?

>>91627059
>>91627211

No, fuck you, there aren't subtle things Greg is getting right. There is sounding like Aku which means sounding like Mako. He's not getting that right and that's the only thing there is. You're trying really hard to invent vague inexpressable bullshit so you can avoid this simple truth.

>>91628286
>He's not getting that right and that's the only thing there is
But it's not.
Acting is more important than sounding exactly like the original voice actor. Beside those YouTube people not sounding like Mako, they also don't act very well.

>>91626886

>And I care because

AAAAAAAnnnnnddddd it's a no from me.

That sounds even further away from Mako. You can't just ask some random guy from Boston, or sounds like he's from Boston, to do his best grumbly voice and have Mako.

>>91628285
Even this is a lot better than what we got, and it's the exact same thing just pitched up some. There are some parts where he really nailed it (and some parts he absolutely did not), but he just does it too deep.

>>91628369

All there is, is the voice. The voice is the acting. Sounding like Aku / Mako is the acting.

Mako was Aku, but since he's dead, that's just not possible anymore. You need to realize that Aku isn't Bugs Bunny or Mickey Mouse in that they have a "voice" to them.

I loved Mako's Aku and I'm sad that he's no longer here to continue with it. But still, I've accepted that he's gone now and that trying to get crappy impressions of him just isn't the way to go.
And apparently, Gennedy thought the same.

>>91628537
But that's fucking wrong you retard.

>>91627269
Because the only alternative is to face the fact that Greg's Aku sounds like shit. The reason people think it's an impression is that unlike Mako, he's not getting into the role and making the voice his own. Greg's Aku sounds forced as hell, not like a Shogun of Sorrow. There's only so much that people can attribute to Aku's malaise, and Greg shot past that during his nosedive into the ground.

Okay, let me put this in a way you understand.
Peter Sellers sounds 100% like Peter Sellers, rights? But he can play many different characters, and deliver the same line or even the same word in ten different ways.
A guy who sounds like Peter Sellers can't necessarily act like Peter Sellers. Maybe they can't deliver a line right (like those YouTube guys) or maybe they can't evoke all sorts of emotions like good actors, or maybe they just deliver everything flat like they're reading it off of a piece of paper.

That's the difference between impersonating a voice, and acting.

>>91628739
It's impossible he'll sound exactly like Mako, so instead of trying and failing to imitate him to perfection he does his own thing only being careful that it does work for the character. It also serves to make him stand out for himself and not to be simply known as "mako imitator/replacement", that's just not a good image for a professional.

>>91628888

>>91629433

Not anymore he can't.

>>91629462
>someone who sounds more like him
Someone who sounds more like him is not someone you will find already voice acting, and they're not going to risk hiring any rookie for such an important role. Furthermore, no professional will ever want to be known as "X's replacement" it is both denigrating to them and X themselves, and dangerous for every VA around since they all suddenly become expandable: "Oh you don't wanna do this gig anymore, you want better treatment or a raise? OK then, we'll just get someone who can sound exactly like you".
The life's of both actors and voice actors depends entirely on their public image, the more prominent, unique and easily identifiable they are, the easier it'll be to sell the stuff they make (and every little role they take counts); just like brand logos, they have to be colorful to easily catch people's attention and as unique as possible so that people can easily identify their favourite brand over the other: if two soda cans have the same colors, no logos and the only way to tell one from the other requires reading small letters, there's a chance people will end up grabbing a can of brand or flavor they didn't actually intend to buy, which leads to either not caring for their mistake, meaning that one brand has stolen the other's costumer, or will get angry and try to avoid both brands in the future, meaning loss for both companies.

It's not though. He routinely loses the tone of Aku and has no ability to expand his syllables.

Because Mako was irreplaceable.

Plus it's really obvious he's reading off the lines and trying to imitate. Which is a LOT easier than actually voicing the lines the first time around.

>>91630008

>the idea that this is supposed to "new Aku" depressed one so he changed voice tone just like real people do in real life

No, I definitely got that. They didn't make it subtle by literally having him call himself the "new Aku." He doesn't even pull off sounding like a depressed Aku / Mako. Not even close. He sounds like a Russian or an old jew. There are a lot of voice actors out there that could've at least done a depressed sounding Aku / Mako, but they went with Greg Baldwin because of the precedent of him doing Iroh and other former Mako parts because of his stupid story about how he really liked the Pacific Overtures musical that Mako was lead in. They definitely didn't pick him because he was the best performer. They picked him because he had the best credentials on paper. I'm amazed at how huge of a gap there is between his credentials and his actual performance here. I don't care how hard you try to rationalize, YOU DON'T CHANGE THE FUCKING REGIONAL ACCENT ON AN ESTABLISHED CHARACTER, THAT'S NOT GOOD ACTING.

HURR JACKIE CHAN DIED, LET'S HAVE A NEW GUY DO THE INSPECTOR LEE CHARACTER IN RUSH HOUR 4, BUT MAKE SURE HE USES SCOTTISH ACCENT BECAUSE HE'S DEPRESSED NOW AND NO ONE CAN EVER REPRODUCE JACKIE CHAN'S VOICE ANYWAY SO DON'T EVEN TRY.

They cried and hugged because they were remembering Mako by association with Aku being made the focus of what everyone around them was doing, not because Greg Baldwin did a good job. Just being back around the Samurai Jack production would be more than enough to trigger strong emotions when your dad or grandpa was the star voice actor of that show and it's being brought back after over a decade since the last episode. That isn't evidence Greg Baldwin is really good at being Aku.

There is no Aku voice that isn't Mako's voice. Aku is a character made up of:

1) A visually recognizable character design including a black body, red eyebrows and a beard stylized to look like fire, green facial features shaped to look kind of reptilian / dragon-like etc.

2) Consistent behaviors as written into the scripts that the writers put together like being evil or hating Jack.

3) Audio in the form of some sound effects for his movement / actions and a voice provided by Mako.

Speaking of a voice that's both Aku and not Mako literally makes no sense. If it's a voice that doesn't sound like Mako, then it's not an Aku voice, it's something other than an Aku voice.

Your post could be used during psychology 101 classes to showcase how autistic people hate change and cannot accept that some things can't be replaced.

Mako is dead. Nobody is going to sound luke his exact copy. The voice will be different no matter what. Making an impression of someone is not acting like someone. The best we can ask for is someone to act Aku's quirks well.

>>91635632

>Nobody is going to sound like his exact copy.

People do voices that sound exactly like other people's voices all the time, it's not like some rare thing you can't ever find. The problem is nobody bothered to find it because they went with "this guy replaced Iroh already" instead of taking a better Mako sounding voice from a different candidate.

>>91635402
I wouldn't say it's that bad. The issue is that it has a much more throaty sound to it. Aku ends up sounding like he just ate some really syrupy pancakes or just drank a bunch of Guinness.

>>91635603
>He doesn't produce a sound that's identifiable as Aku's
He does, actually. You're just biased
>Because Morgan Freeman used to have a Japanese accent but now has a Russian accent.
Russian and Japanese accents are hardly different; you're just used to american stereotypes. And no, Morgan Freeman didn't change his accent, but he did sound so different that you would not recognize him at all by his voice only, this is not even the case with Aku as his new voice can indeed be linked back to him even though it's not exactly the same, that also doen't deny the fact that some people learning a second or third language will go through several different accents that could be associated to different origins as they learn the language over time, or may even change the accent of a previously dominated language as they change another.
> Fuck off.
Mako is dead, he's not coming back, no professional actor is ever going to even want to sound like him when doing a character that can be in any way related to him even if they could for obvious reasons. You only have three options: kys and go suck Mako's dick in the afterlife, accept it and shut up or stop watching the series and move on like most people did 13 years ago.

Dan Castellaneta of course is the obvious low hanging fruit, though far from the only one in history who's been able to make good reproductions of others' voices. He did a great job doing the Robin Williams / genie voice in the second Aladdin movie:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10S428LRcUY [Embed]

And he did a great job replacing Phil Hartman as Troy McClure. He's pretty good at doing all sorts of voices that sound extremely different from his own.

New Aku is a low-energy, spic sounding fart. It's pretty fucking bad.

>>91628285
I would legit pay human dollars for the whole season to be done this way

Anu Cheeki Breeki is rather disappointing, almost as disappointing as the whole season focussing on these literally-who-gives-a-shit seven daughters and Ashi.

>>91636244
That wasn't perfection, if we get picky his voice does sound 3-4 notes below William's. He does sound a bit more similar than greg/mako but are still identifiable from one another, and we're still talking about a character whose voice goes through a lot of synthetic modulations every other sentence. But answer me this question? Who is a bigger name of the two? I have honestly never heard of the guy you speak about (although to be fair I didn't know much about Greg either, but most of his roles have also involved replacing), even the most casuals will know who Robin Williams or Mako are; maybe Castellaneta doesn't have an issue with staying under someone's shadow?
This was also an exact example of a voice actor being kicked because they didn't agree on terms with the producer and so got kicked in favor of hiring an imitator, I'm pretty sure if you sell yourself as imitator you will never aspire to a paycheck as big as an original deal.

>>91636243
Indeed.

>>91636672

>That wasn't perfection

It's as close to perfection as anything else I've heard anyone try in reproducing another person's voice. And it's a billion miles ahead of Greg Baldwin trying to do Aku. For one thing Dan Castellaneta didn't give Genie or Troy McClure a random new accent.

>Who is a bigger name of the two?

Easily Dan Castellaneta, he's been voicing a bunch of the major Simpsons characters for a very long time.

To make this less subjective though, even as hyped as everyone is about Samurai Jack returning you can plug "Dan Castellaneta" and "Greg Baldwin" into Google and see over twice as many results returned for "Dan Castellaneta".

I think it's hilarious that you point out Aladdin 2 because I've always though the Genie voice was trash, even as a kid

The diction and cadence are alright and even very good in places, but the timbre is completely off. There's no way you could mistake it for Robin Williams, let alone call it a "perfect" imitation.

Why do these boring scenes? Try and top this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y57fFLHnmI

>>91637218

I literally did think it was Robin Williams when I first heard him do the voice in a commercial. I didn't learn they changed the actor until later.

In contrast, nobody could EVER, EVER mistake Greg Baldwin's voice acting for Aku. He does a completely different ethnicity's accent, it doesn't make any sense at all.

>>91637413

>>91637491

He did fine. It sounds like Robin Williams. I'm sure you can pay super-close attention and find a bunch of little things to nitpick about it, but it absolutely is passable.

Again, in contrast, Greg Baldwin's voice acting is not even vaguely in the ballpark. He's doing a completely different voice with another ethnicity's accent. If he wasn't going to do the Japanese accent then why even bother doing any accent? How is a combination Russian / Jerry Seinfeld accent supposed to make up for not doing a Japanese accent? Season 5 will be much better after the guy in the OP video dubs over Greg Baldwin's trash and gives us the corrected version.

It just seems like they wrote Aku this season to be depressed so as to match Baldwin's low energy. Even when he did Iroh he spoke as slow and monotone as possible.

>>91638651

It wouldn't be bad if he was just doing a low energy Mako voice, but that's not what he's doing.

>People implying Greg Baldwin is a great the "acting" part of voice acting
>Can only imitate Mako's more depressed, serious range, and even then it doesn't sound great
/co/ genuinely has no idea what they're talking about half the time

>>91638338
>self-conscious about doing Mako's asian accent for fear of sounding racist.
So a racist Russian accent is better? Kek

Most of the time he sounds more like Ren than he does Aku

>>91638936
>So a racist Russian accent is better?
It's safer. White guy can do a white guy voice with fewer people crying foul.
If he messed up while doing an accent that was 'asian in the wrong way', everyone would accuse him of doing yellowface.

>>91638788
Pretty good.

>>91628224
Not just any Asian accent. You need to be a native Japanese speaker who learned English as a child.

It also helps to be old, so as to have a natural elderly rasp and gripe.

With Aku's slight Japanese accent and oldness being natural, the actor can then spend all his energy on acting; bombast, immersion, and flow.

>>91639405
Smoking so heavily that you're in the early stages of fatal, yet undiagnosed throat cancer also helps.

Seriously though, obviously the closer you can get to Mako, it's going to make it easier but none of those things are absolutely vital.

I'll be honest, I was okay with it the first time I heard it but I absolutely hated it in the last episode. He sounds Russian instead of Japanese.

>>91638788
Doesn't hold on to his syllables in the same way Mako does. The whole thing sounds like this guy's rushing though it, though.

Why won't the samurai just DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>people think the voice is a big issue
>continuity is all over the place between jack being animated with no beard/ he gets his shoes back magically

From Paul Walker to Carrie Fisher, we are getting fairly good at bringing back dead actors likenesses.
I won't be suprised when we can recreate people's voices.
Take every recording of Makos Aku, pump it into some software, Type in your script, and fine tune tone inflection.

>>91637704
T-THEY DON'T COUNT.

THEY DON'T FUCKING COUNT.

Hey, remember when Lorenzo Music died and every version of Garfield afterward was totally different? Not trying to imitate Lorenzo at all, or even just be straight-up played by the person he based the voice on?

Remember when Jimmy MacDonald died and every Mickey Mouse sounded different? They were trying to play Mickey, not sound like Jimmy at all!

You see how silly this sounds?

>>91639841
Same problem with Baldwin.

Mako really drew out the vowels as Aku.

That vid isnt very good. He gets the pitch right, but the accent is terrible.

>>91640095
They did that a few years ago with an unfinished Klaus Nomi album.

This sounds like Ren.

They should have just got someone else to do their own thing with Aku instead of impersonation. Aku is a shapeshifter. As if he can't change his voice. Maybe he got bored of his original voice and decided to try something new.

Pic related I think would have been great.

>>91643243
Genndy already said he considered before deciding no.

>>91643511
I know that, and I think he chose wrong. Now Greg is going to get to compared to Mako endlessly considering he's purposely trying to imitate him. If someone like James Hong were picked to do their own things, there'd be far less comparisons.

>>91643621
You're joking if you believe that. People are already complaining and asking why Aku doesn't sound like he used to, they'd just do more of that.

Closest Samurai Jack thread I can find.

Only five autists care enough to compare every words he says. No one else care.

>>91628285

how does aku know he has a beard but no sword? he grew the beard after he lost the sword

I literally can't hear any difference in any of the videos in this thread. Why do white people all sound the same?

>>91631183
>He sounds like a Russian or an old jew

You clearly have not heard either speak.

>>91644307
What about the one with Aku attacking Scott's army?

I think the acting is fine. But it doesn't sound like Mako at all and it doesn't sound exotic enough to be Aku.

>>91643785
People will of course complain about anything, but I'm mainly referring to those who are literally comparing Greg and Mako. There wouldn't be any comparisons like this with James Hong and Mako because they wouldn't be comparable because they'd be too different. There'd just be bickering over whose performance is better in general. And Mako himself wouldn't be safe from complaints anyway. If he were still alive, people would probably be complaining that somehow his voice is different.

>Fun fact, Dan Castellaneta is worth 10 million more then Robin Williams.
Robin is dead so it's no contest.

Anon. That is, by definition, comparing them.

He sounds like Bill Cosby doing a grovely voice.
