Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Veronica Taylor. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
Veronica Taylor was perfect as Ash's voice actress. I can't believe she was replaced in Season 10 for someone who is nowhere near her level for voice acting Ash. If I ever think of Ash saying something, its the voice she provided for him that I hear. The current voice actor's voice sounds extremely forced and strained, like Ash is constipated. This is just one of several reasons I don't watch Poke'mon anymore. As far as I'm concerned, Ash simply lost his voice and will find it once his old voice actress returns to the recording booth, and gives Ash his real voice back.
Veronica Taylor is a great voice actress! In my opinion, she was the one and only person who could voice the adventurous Ash Ketchum and his sweet-sounding mother, Delia on Pokemon.
I honestly sucks that 4Kids lost the rights to dub the show with the good voice actors. I feel bad for Veronica, since she worked hard dubbing all those episodes and movies and all she gets is a kick the the curb. She was then replaced with Sarah Natochenny, who CAN'T voice Ash the way Veronica did. Sarah makes Ash sound like an adult, rather than a ten-year-old pre-pubescent boy.
Veronica Taylor is best known for when she voiced Ash and May in the anime, 'Pokemon'. And I have to say, she did a wonderful job at it. She did very good at making Ash sound male. There aren't many voice actresses I know that voice male characters and do a good job at it. And her voice for May is wonderful, for she gives May such a sweet, lovely voice. It's just too bad she doesn't do it anmore. If only she still did it, and didn't leave. Her replacements aren't very good. The actress who plays Ash now makes him sound as if he has something caught in his throat. The actress who plays May now isn't that bad, but her voice for May isn't anything like Taylor's sweet voice for May.
Still, Veronica Taylor will be well remembered by me, and will go down as one of my favourite voice actresses.
She is often miscast in roles that do not suit her talents. The most notable is that of Ash Ketchum on Pokemon. Her voice grated during the early seasons, then by Pokemon Advanced she has settled into a voice that was slightly better, but still no where near believable for a pre-pubestent boy.
Moving on to her other roles, she maintains a level of emotion and skill that are perfect, though she does tend to over emote on occasion. Her variation of voice is better than most of the talent she works with at 4Kids Entertainment. However, when she does childrens roles she gets rather limited, resorting to either the Ash voice, or the May/Delia voice.
I am a huge May (From Pokemon) fan and I want to congrats her for doing the voice of May evan when she lost her job of doing the voices of Ash & May we can all still remember her as one of our favorite voice actors and I think I might like May's new voice if not I can just think of her's with Veronica's and evan though some Pokemon fans(Mostly Misty's) think May is anoyying (That makes me sad :( hating a fictinal charater) it's not her fault that May got some of her haters It's 4kids they are the ones who do the USA scripts until 2006 I love you Mrs Taylor & May
