Brian Drummond vs Chris Sabat Vegeta refuses to fuse with Goku

[@maximusatlas9377]

Its hard for me to choose sometimes. Sabat's voice fits Vegeta more but Brian's performance is more in line with Vegeta's prideful attitude, especially in the earlier days of DBZ. Late DBZ and DB Super makes more sense with Sabat's voice.

[@Farscryer0]

Sabat Voice: Confident Saiyan-Dad Vegeta
Drummond: Angry, psychotic and panicking Vegeta

[@Aztecatl7]

I disagree, most people think that because they associate Drummond's Vegeta more with evil Vegeta, but his later voice fits perfect as well when Vegeta was good in late DBZ.

[@blues5963]

Wow someone put into words what I always thought as kid when they changed over Vegeta voice, Hearing Brian to Chris take on Vegeta was form watching Vegeta's grown in maturity. And I'm glad they give Brian a chance to voice the Clone Vegeta in Super, kinda wish they did that with Goku Black's voice having the old Goku voice do him.

[@thatguy-dh1qh]

This is what I always thought too and I think toonami switching from ocean dub to funimation dub part of the way through namek had something to do with it. I always thought Drummond did great as a Vegeta who felt more like a scavenger and scrapper in the first two main arcs. Then Sabat does great as Vegeta after he gets to earth starts to settle down a bit more, and actively tries to better himself and get stronger.

[@WyntheRogue]

Agreed, both are great, I love the youthful energy Brian gives the earlier arced Vegeta but I love how Sabat gives him this regal cadence that works really well. And Bryan's cameo in Super was an absolute treat.

You know the real reason Funimation dumped Ocean right? Union workers. Funimation is based out of Texas.

[@Blazieth]

As much as some people mock it for sounding like Sonic, I _adore_ Brian's Vegito voice. Two main reason. 1) Considering that, at the time, the Potara fusion was intended to be permanent (defusing inside Buu being regarded as a strange anomaly), I hate the double-voice for Vegito. Single voice makes more sense. 2) Brian's Vegito voice manages to sound like both Goku (the actor Ocean had for him in this arc, anyway) and Vegeta at the same time, due to Brian basically doing an imitation of Goku's VA.

[@bigboss4425]

All of vegetas most iconic lines are done by Drummond tho. I'm 30+ so I was there for the switch and grew to accept sabat as the older version but in my soul I always wished for the original ocean dub team to have finished

How would it be nostalgia if the clip of Chris Sabat's performance was from a dub in the '10s? His voice is drastically different from the original dub.

[@LagunaShirogane]

​​@@WolfXGamerfulThats what happens due to smoking for many years. Chris is known to have been a big time smoking cigarettes and then he quit smoking. Its made his voice different in comparison to his earlier voicing of Vegeta in the original version after he took over for Brian Drummond after the Ginyu Saga ended. I do feel Drummond should take over for Vegeta in the future if Sabat ever felt like he needed to cut down on the number of characters hes voicing in DB series. It would be the best thing if Chris decided to semi-retire much like Linda Young did before she fully relinquished Frieza's role to her successor. Linda Young was voicing Fasha as well back then along with Fortune Teller Baba. But she's more iconic as Frieza though.

Yeah, I haven't been a fan of Chris as a voice actor for a while now. All of his characters sound exactly the same, which is basically just his regular speaking voice. His best roles for me was Kuwabara from Yu Yu Hakusho and Armstrong from Full Metal Alchemist.

I prefer Drummond's version for early DBZ Vegeta, while Sabat's for Dragon Ball Super for growing out of being evil.
But I also prefer the earlier versions of Sabat's Vegeta having the crispier tone. Modern Sabat nowadays sounds too much alike with all his voiced characters now

[@syzerx6789]

Chris Sabat's Vegeta changed over time and has a pretty different tone to it. I do prefer the how he did it in Z, but his delivery in Kai is spot on. Also, Brian Drummond does not get enough credit. He's an awesome voice actor and captures Vegeta's emotion very well, maybe even better than Chris at certain points. Had the pleasure of meeting him once. Very cool dude.

Drummond has an unbelievable yell/scream
But Sabat has a much more iconic tone

[@AlexanderDiviFilius]

Drummond will always be my favourite Vegeta voice. He shreds his lungs and puts so much passion into his work, but also has great range.
Unfortunately, the direction in the Westwood dub let him down for the more emotional moments, but performances in other dubs show just how good he is. I’d love for the Ocean Kai dub to be released at some point. Just like Sabat, we need to see how much Drummond has evolved!

[@wushu297]

He has said he took it easy in the ocean dub of Kai. That he wasn't shredding his vocal cords quite as much

[@thethreekings9120]

I love them both, but Chris did it better here. But the "over 9000" and "Vegeta's Wrath" scenes in the Ocean Dub are absolutely Drummond at his best. 💯

Brian always gave me chills when he spoke. Chris is good but Brian is a legend in conveying emotion.

[@Legacyofmine]

Sabat voice and accent sounds like royalty, prince of all saiyans for sure. Posh English accent fits very well.

When it comes to Chris Sabat, I like his performance as Vegeta better from DBZ Kai (uncut) and up because he's more experienced and sounds better than how he used to back then. It's good to hear Brian Drummond again in DBS as Copy Vegeta.
