i feel like terri hawkes is the most iconic voice for serena i like it a lot. i'll say tracey is a close second because she sounds a lot like an actual fourteen year old. :)
agreed! Agreed those two are like Sailormoon. But the New Sailormoon - Sailormoon Crystal is horrible voice actress for Sailormoon. She don't even look good for Sailormoon, asian or hawaiian. it dont do us sailorfans justice.
I love her voice it's really the best
Why was Usagi’s name Serena BEFORE? I’m a NEW sailor moon fan & started watching the show on HULU but what’s with all the changes? Like the whole new script version of the English DUB & why did they change her name??
Yes i like the first one best
@@huerta0920 it was directed to young children of American audiences, and of course, America had a more sensitive view of things in the 90’s. they end up changing their names as English ones, at least ones that had similar syllables to their Japanese names, try to make it direct and appropriate with young audiences, using different music, stashing away any Japanese wording or culture In sight ( for cultural appropriation? But they just Americanized it for the sake of it’s audiences, so may not be the other), and censorship. While it did bring popularity of the franchise as one of the most memorable anime kids end up seeing, the dub during those times were very sensitive on subjects and how it might imply or be viewed due to North American views of the time. A few names in the 90’s dub kept some original names, like rei, and close enough name like Mina. I can see why the 90’s dub won’t entirely follow up to today’s audience with controversial subjects like lacking LGBTQ representation between haruka and michiru ( leading the, to only incest), censoring certain scenes, hiding away scrapped episodes ( like the rebellion fortune telling and beach episodes since they weren’t appropriate.) and Japanese culture, also how the episodes don’t seem accurate to the original Japanese script on how the episodes follow, making it more goofy and sometimes out fo place. It has highs and lows, but if you prefer accurate and a respected dub to the anime, go ahead with viz, if you want to give a try out for the 90’s than take your pick!
Traci Moore was good in the very beginning. I liked how she differntiated her voice between Serena and Sailor Moon. Terri Hawkes, however, is the best. She gave the character so much energy, vivacity, and such a believable emotional wavelength. When she laughed, you laughed. When she cried, you cried with her. At first, I hated Linda Ballantyne's attempt to mimic Hawkes' voice. But in time, she became more comfortable and confident in the role, and made it her own. Stephanie Sheh's voice ... I simply cannot stomach. She sounds like she inhaled a helium balloon, and is letting it out while pinching her nostrils closed.
+Rodimus75 Amen
+Lyric Ailove Yup
+Rodimus75 IKR!
+Rodimus75 Amen i Support you Moon Buddy T^T speak the truth
+Ilan Mcdonald Hell yeah bro!
Ahhhh when I hear Terri Hawkes, it gives me such nostalgia, I could cry. Her voice will always be how I think of Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon will always be my very favorite show and something that has brought me endless happiness throughout my life. Got a giant hip tattoo this past year of the crisis heart crystal, roses for the 4 main scouts and forget-me-nots💕
Yeah I wonder why the editing for that second seasons of Sailor Moon 🌙 the English Dubs on DIC was kinda lame 😒 but Terrie Hawkes was one of the bestest people who have ever voiced Sailor Moon and Neo Queen Serenity. 😂😅😊❤
This is important. My favorites were the first two voice actresses. It was a shock when they suddenly changed Serena's voice after the show came on Toonami.
Terri Hawkes!! Probably because I grew up in the 90s
Yes terri
Yep grew up with Terri
I grew up with Linda, who was also the 90s 😅
Rhaegar Targaryen YEA!!!!!
Forever Terri Hawkes but I love Stephanie Sheh and Tracey Moore too so probably in that order. Linda I did not like at all when I was a kid or now. Sorry Linda fans, no harm done. Just a preference.
I think Stephanie Sheh and Tracey Moore were better voices. Partly due to the fact that I didn't really pay attention to the series until Viz started re-dubbing it. Plus, I heard enough of Stephanie's higher pitched voiced characters to be used to it.
+TMX1138 The if thats the case watch the original series and then the new redub then you will have the full view of all the moons.
I'm currently working on dub comparison videos of the first 4 seasons, where I have both the original dub and the new dub playing simultaneously. That's where I hear the original dub.
Because i was a huge fan as a child but forgot the series as i grew up. one day i remember the show name and watched it all over again. the old dubbed brought back so much memories and made me fall in love with the series all over again. and now till this very day i am a hardcore fan.
I liked stephanie the most
I like Stephines voice best
Terri Hawkes, call me biased, but I liked the 90's dub. I grew up watching it and it was easier to relate to the english names and songs.
risinggundam2005 I agree.
anime fantasy123 I don't think that is what she meant. The dic dub incorporated a lot of familiar cultural references. And just experiencing those things is comforting. It's still great to soak in the Japanese culture of the original anime. And you can appreciate it as a work of art. But the dic dub has strong emotional ties to those that grew up in that time. And I like the dic dub names too. Both are good. I think it has more to do with what we consider feminine or masculine names. Serena is more obviously feminine than Usagi for Americans.
Me too
Same
I totally agree!
I love Terri's voice the most.
I also loved the 90s music they had just for the show!
I still listen to it on TH-cam
Tracey really hits the nail on the head with her spunk, especially during the fight scenes.
Terri Hawkes was the voice I first heard when I started the series. Tracey Moore is a very close second. I can appreciate Tracey's voice as the "younger" version of Sailor Moon, because she just started and the voice fit the stage the character was in. Terri was Sailor Moon to me and it's the voice I remember when ever I think of the character.
Terri Hawkes is my favorite sailor moon voice
I love her omg she has the best sailor moon voice
Linda’s voice is the one i grew up on so hearing her makes me feel all warm and nostalgic
Sheh actually sounds like she could pass for 14, so I have to give her the top spot in my book. That said, I think Cihi does a lovely job singing.
No. Stephanie sounds forced. Shes trying to sound too cute a lot of the time.
@@GeteMachineshe's the best out of them all.
Linda definitely portrayed how much of a nut Usagi is whether people like it or not lolz
I'm sorry but in my opinion, Linda makes usagi sound like a middle aged mom despite the fact she's just fourteen!!
Linda sounds like miss frizzle on magic school bus
Alabanza Idk, she was the worst 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Alec Nychole Francisco That’s what I was thinking too
She sounds like she's a 47 year old library XD
When I first heard Linda's sailormoon, I was like what the fuccck.
Linda Ballatyne. I’m sorry, but I’m super obsessed with Sailor Moon S right now and Linda makes me laugh every time I hear her voice! 😂😂😂
IK
It's terrible - I can't watch dub after season 2 lol
Tracey Moore and Stephanie Sheh
+Guyver Zoanoid But thats the only reason she was hired for the part sadly. also before the first episode air she didnt even knew of the seris ;(
Stephanie Sheh; hands down.
Linda bellantyne would have to be my favorite because she's the one I grew up with. Terri Hawkes being my second. For longest time I never knew Sailor Moon had different voices until I rewatched the show when I was older.
STEPHANIE'S VOICE IS FUCKING OSCAR WINNING. I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!!!
Both Tracey and Terri did an amazing job.
I love Stephanie
stephanie sheh because i was one of the very few people who didn’t grow up with the overly censored 90s version and because she sounds more like a 14 year old and more western version of usagi than the other ones do
I'm sticking with the cast from 1995. :P
Thatwitchgirl Agreed. 😍
Stephanie is the best, but I also like Terri only because of nostalgia.
I love Terri Hawkes she captured the character well didn't sound like a mimic of the japanese voice and gave usagi/serena a great english personality and voicing
I grew up with the Spanish Latin American dub, so I don't really have a bias for the English voices, but for me the one who sounds better for Usagi is definitely Stephanie Sheh, she sounds younger and more similar to the original and from the old dub I think Terri Hawkes is the best. I don't understand why they changed the voice so many times. In Spanish we had the same voices in the cast from season 1 to 5 (except for Darien who had two voice actors). Even now for Sailor Moon Crystal most of the voices are the same from the 90's dub except for Sailor Jupiter.
Tracey Moore and stephanie sheh are the best with usagi's voice acting :)
This might be sacrilege, but here's my order in keeping as close to the Japanese dub as possible.
1. Stephanie Sheh- A lot of people dislike her high pitched take on Sailor Moon. However, she absolutely nails "Usagi" in English. "Serena" was almost a different character with all the changes the dub made. Great comedic timing too.
2. Tracey Moore- Really liked her! The original voice of the DIC dub, she played it much closer to the original version than her successors in the DIC dub. Shame she left.
3. Terri Hawkes- The one most people are familiar with. She changed Sailor Moon more into a valley girl with her accent and a lot of "Clueless" talk which was popular at the time. Love or hate it, her performance definitely stood out. Her yell was... unique.
4. Linda Ballantyne- Poor Linda... She had the misfortune of being part of 2 very rushed seasons. This led to a pretty flat performance and a LOT of cringe worthy takes. Also, she LITERALLY speaks like someone told her "you're royalty, but you're clumsy. Go!".
Linda was also the one that sounded least like a teen compared to the Serena/Usagi voices that came before and after. Like I only saw clips of her performances but, while I’m sure she had moments to shine, it just wasn’t up to par.
Tracey and Terri sounds so much alike I had no idea they were two different people. But defiantly these two should’ve been hired for all the seasons
Meanwhile Linda sounds like an old lady, *possibly* someone’s grandmother.
My vote:
Tracy Moore: She did a pretty good as the first to be cast as Sailor moon! She sounded like an actual teenager, and honestly I didn’t notice she wasn’t Terri at first since both of them sound very similar at first, since I was pretty young to even notice their slight differences in voice! She brought in a lot of charm long before she left the role.
Terri Hawkes: She’s the true iconic voice for Sailor moon! I adore how much she gave into her role! She’s just the number one voice that just automatically makes me think of her! She brought out a lot of energy and personality to her! While it did get a bit more goofy and awkward in certain moments, she brought a lot of life to Usagi with such a unique voice that really fits her! So she’s my top favourite.
Linda Ballantine: she’s not a lot of people’s favourable voice, and I do agree, she can get a bit rough and scratchy, almost sounding older than the actual character herself, Though, Linda is a nice women, and felt like she’s been miss-cast for her role. She did a pretty good job as queen serenity and how she got comfortable at the end without having to mimick Terri’s voice, which makes me wonder if her throat ever gotten sore when trying to yell or getting that specific pitch? I say she’s okay, there’s charm put into it, though the clover way dub definitely casted some questionable choices for the characters.
Stephanie sheh: To be honest, I’m not really a fan of her voice. She just sounds little too annoying to me, which sometimes becomes jarring to watch the original viz dub, though I know she’s chosen to be close to the Japanese voice and follow the actual scripts more accurately to the show. Stephanie is a good actor for some of her other well known roles, and the voice is within her own range, but not very preferable, but she’s also okay since it shows us all episodes of original dialogue with all completed seasons of the original and so far the reboot. She definitely puts effort to the role, I just wish I’d liked it a bit better if the voice alone didn’t have it’s moments of annoyance and agony.
This is how I viewed each actor who were given usagi’s role, everyone can prefer any favourite actor if they want. Either you prefer Stephanie or Terri it’s all good to me, Linda May of been a downer to instantly drop the series after season 2 because of her old lady voice, and Tracey didn’t last long due to some video recording problems I believe. But this vote among the actors only shows how it represents usagi’s personality in a fitting matter of both voice direction and emotion, Terri brought in some emotion and often brings out how expressive she is to me! While in the recent dub, Stephanie can end up being too high pitched and a little bit more grating to hear her voice, but she does give a decent portrayal on how she inflicts Usagi’s more caring traits and moments of more fitting emotion that neither the DIC or clover way dub did. since they made the show to be more goofy for the children and sometimes make it out of place, so you can say the dub is more faithful than the controversial 90’s one. But they all weigh positives and negatives for each actor, so this is just my input towards each one!
Stephanie all the way. The other voices sound like a product of their time, but Viz does Sailor Moon justice and nobody can say otherwise.
Disagree. The voices in the viz dub all sound the same, high pitched and cuty. No emotion and it sounds so robotic.
@@gamefreak9 you just described the DIC dub 😂
@@puffsparkle lol you may need to get your hearing checked
Tracy and then Terri. Linda's VA frightens me 😭
Terri Hawkes is and will always be my all-time favorite

January 17, 2022 through January 17, 3022

January 31, 2022 through January 31, 3022
Terri Hawkes, Linda Ballantyne & Tracey Moore FTW!
Stephanie wins hands down, but I will always have a soft spot for Terri.
For me it's Terri and Stephanie.
I'm so glad they picked Stephanie for the Viz dub because if they had stuck to the originals 90s cast, they would of of course aged :L so it wouldn't work??
I don't see who could fit the role any better than what Stephanie did. (OR PERHAPS CHRISTINA VEE, CAUSE I LOVE HER)
But, here both sound so bubbly and cute, but also overly dramatic like Usagi.
I love them both!!!
After Tracey she just gets so much more goofy sounding.
Then it all resets at Stephanie.
For me, Hawkes is on another level, she brought an insane amount of personality and depth to Serena.
Her acting iQ is off the charts, I'm actually thinking of checking out her other work just to hear her.
I've never heard Stephanie sheh as sailor moon and I thought she did okay but Terri hawkes is still my favorite
Terri hawkes for sure ❤️ favorite English adaption from the 90s
my favourite is TRACEY MOORE
Stephanie Sheh
As someone who grew up on the 90s version I can honestly say Stephanie was born for this role
I never realized that singing voice was supposed to be Sailor Moon lol.
Stephanie is my least favorite. She just sounds like a baby, actually reminds me of ChibiUsa from the original. My brain also only hears Orihime from Bleach when she speaks as well.
Terri is my favorite.
All of these are equally great voices despite their flaws, but in all honesty, the Viz Media Dub is the one I love the most, mainly because of how it actually stays true to the original Japanese dub without having to change anything.
@Sailor Moon oh please, the DiC and Cloverway dubs changed so much. Removal of Japanese writing and or traditional Japenese elements. Changing the genders of Zoisite and Haruka, so to censor the homosexual relationships in the show. Plus saying Haruka and Michiru were cousins as well like BRUH. Renaming the characters, but the rename that annoys me the most is renaming Mamoru to fucking DARIEN. How the FUCK do you see "Mamoru" and think "Darien"? Who is even called Darien in the first place? The Viz Dub didn't skip episodes, unlike DiC and Cloverway. Heck the Sailor Stars arc wasn't even dubbed until the Viz dub. Usagi sounds more like an actual teenage girl in the Viz Dub, unlike Linda's one which is just...*shivers*. Plus the DiC and Cloverway dubs americanised the hell out of the show, so ew. People say they like the original dub better because "nOsTalGiA". Nostalgia is not a good enough fucking reason to claim it's the better dub, it's clearly not. Plus listening to Luna's voice in particular, is just soul crushing. They just took out everything that made the show what it is and left only the bare-bones outline remaining, the DiC and Cloverway dubs were absolute garbage and its about time people started recognising that.
@Sailor Moon yeah i'll stick with the more faithful to Japanese instead of americanised crap thanks
Terri Hawkes for sure. Her voice is so soothing to listen too and she doesn't have to try hard at all to force it to work as Serena, it's just her normal every day voice! The emotions she brings out in her character brings tears to my eyes like no other voice actor can, but at the same time she can have me dying laughing from the ranges she's able to meet lol! I was very upset when she left the show to have her babies! Lol!
Tracey Moore was always the Sailor Moon I’ve seen. I’ve never watched it a lot, but what I saw most of had Tracey’s voice. Her voice is the prettiest for Sailor Moon! 💖
Terri Hawkes, brings some much with her voice. sounds very unique, it's so quirky it fits perfectly with her personality
Terri Hawkes will always be my favorite
Gotta go with Stephanie Sheh, Terri Hawkes was probably the best until she came along. Tracey Moore was alright, I just don't think she had enough time to grow into the role. And Linda Ballantyne just makes Serena sound like some old granny. Jennifier Cihi's a good singing voice.
I think Tracey was the best at the beginning and she made Serena's personality hilarious.
I love them all, to be honest! I grew up hearing Tracey Moore, Terri Hawkes, and Linda Ballantyne, so they all are Sailor Moon to me! I am not as used to Stephanie Sheh, but she definintely sounds the most like how Usagi sounds in the Japanese version, and she's done a great job in the Viz dub!
Stephanie is easily the best one. Tracey is a very very VERY close second, Terri gives it her all but falls flat more than once, and Linda… tried. I’m sorry but Linda is easily the worst.
Terri definitely. When I think Sailor Moon I think of Terri Hawkes's voice. She's left the greatest imprint.
I actually LOVE Linda's SM.
Terri Hawkes hands down in terms of line delivery and performance.
TERRI HAWKES SHES ICONIC!
1st: It's crazy how Tracey Moore, Terri Hawkes, & Jennifer Cihi, sound so alike.
2nd: I'm glad the 2014 Sailor Moon Crystal has an English Dub.
Lastly, my favorite Sailor Moon voice: Hmm.... This is tricky. I have to say my 2, (Yes 2!) favorites are: Tracey Moore & Jennifer Cihi (Singing voice)
Stephanie Sheh is my all time favorite. 💖
i miss the old voices but Stephanie is great still
Terri Hawkes
Terri is my fave because she really interprets the script and her dynamism is perfect for anime.
Okay!!! Hands down....Stephanie Sheh is the perfect Usagi-chan/Sailor Moon. No offense to Terri Hawkes. I love you and all. But, I have to give mad props to the newer English dub for sticking true to the original Japanese version because, when I here Stephanie Sheh voicing Sailor Moon in English....I definitely hear Sailor Moon in English.
1:58 bruh Stephanie Sheh also voiced as Ami and Megumi in Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled and thats a FACT!
Terri Hawkes is my favorite Sailor Moon voice actor.
1. Terri
2. Jennifer
3. Tracey
4. Stephanie
5. Linda
They’re all great in their own way but I have mine by order of preference.
Stephanie Sheh will always be the voice of my favorite pretty guardian. The older voices just sound too late 80's/early 90's on some He-man type shit. But whenever I imagine Stephanie Sheh yelling " HOLD IT RIGHT THERE ZOISITE! " or something along those lines I always just feel THAT IS MY USAGI TSUKINO. (Im glad they used the name Usagi instead of Serena as well)
I just know they made a great decision to cast her for Crystal and to have her redub the original.
Tracey Moore
Show
1. Serena/Sailor Moon - Sailor Moon 1995
The actresses of the original dub are my favorite. It's like as the series went on she matured while VIZ keeps her a crybaby which is an insult on her being a superheroine and a role model for her daughter. In Cloverway she's more of a goofball than an idiot or crybaby.
terri hawkes. no doubt
So many good memories of watching sailor moon!
Born 12-11-1983, forgive me...
But please...
Continue to show the faces of the voices to the various animations that many of us got to grow up watching & listening to...
"One can grow up & out of things... but one cannot grow up & out of appreciation & respect for things, either."
TERRI HAWKES ALL THE WAY. I tolerated Ballantyne in the summer of 2000, but that Sheh woman just sounds lifeless.
Quentin Harrison Wdym? She shows all her goofy, clumsy, sweet, crybaby, and innocent sides of Usagi Tsukino.
Linda was at her best when getting drunk
Linda Ballantyne is the best because she SCREAMS EVERY LINE!! AAOAOAOOHAOHOAHOOAHOOOAH!!!!
I feel like Stephanie Sheh has the best voice for sailor moon but probably because I'm an early 2000's kid
Stephanie Sheh is the best Usagi.
her voice is annoying.................... youmustbenew
Ikr best voice fits very well
You're obviously new to Sailor Moon aren't you
Wrong. Her voice is unoriginal and whiny.
That's not how Usagi (sailor moon) personality and character is. She's 14, annoying, Cute, and a bit of a crybaby. I know cause I'm a huge fan, and seen all the seasons multiple times. XD lol talk about commitment
So looking back..I do not know how I managed to survive two seasons of hearing Linda ballantyne voice for sailor moon. I was getting into anime at the time and didn't feel like switching to japanese. So I suppose that's why but geez.. I eventually got used to it but I seriously wish they stuck with Terri :(
Stephanie Sheh's the GOAT Usagi/Sailor Moon va 🥰😊.
Terri Hawkes with a blend of Linda Ballantyne is who I hear in my head when I remember my childhood watching Sailor Moon. The nostalgia of watching it, those are the voices I remember...
I'm going with Stephanie Sheh.
Stephanie sounds the best. She actually sounds like a little girl, and closest to the original Japanese voice.
The others sound a bit forced and campy.
Plus Stephanie is actually Asian, so points for that.
Tracey Moore and Terri Hawkes are best!!! voices for Serena the did it with such passion Stephanie sheh her voice is a very high annoying voice she sounds like a little baby girl not a teenager at all and if the viz team is dubing the series again they stood of stick with the original name Serena not usagi although it is here real name but that's for the Japanese version Serena sounds better for the English version the new viz version saying usagi for the viz dub to me just doesn't sounds right in my opinion
+Jorge Maldonado
I feel the opposite I much prefer Stephanie and I love that she is called Usagi thats her name
Exactly preach 👏🏾👏🏾
She supposed to be high-pitched..HELLO? It’s an anime! You just cannot Americanize an Anime. And Serena?? But her true form is Princess Serenity so that would be a dead giveaway
I love Tracey Moore, Terri Hawkes Linda Ballantyne, Jennifer Cihi, and Stephanie Sheh.
To me Stephanie just sounds like a 12 year old boy, when I close my eyes I don't hear Serena at all :( I'm actually surprised how many people said her over Terri
I'm going to probably guess because she sounds sorta alike to the Japanese version of Serena/Usagi. All of them were perfect in my opinion.
_-
Wasn't expecting the singing voice to be included! That was cool. Also I love "Carry On"...probably my favorite song from that dub.
I haven't seen enough of this dub to have a fave (we didn't have cable when it was on so I only really saw it at friends' houses or the orthodontist's office) but I find Linda Ballantyne's Serena voice pretty annoying. Although I don't think I've ever heard her rendition of the "relativity pudding" ramble (from the S episode where Usagi accidentally gets drunk at a party, which Cloverway I think turned into her getting sick from "juice," which is kind of hilarious), so that was pretty funny to hear.
Yea, there's no way the new voice is adequate. Terri Hawks IS SAILOR MOON!!!
I was very fortunate enough to meet the English dub of Sailor Moon aired get her autograph as well as the other ones that were there like Kirby!
It was Linda I met
SERENA HERE GOOD FILM MY FRIEND ALL OF THEM
Terri Hawkes
Shows & Movies
1. Serena/Sailor Moon - Sailor Moon R, R Promise Of The Rose, S Hearts In Ice, Super S Black Dream Hole 1995 - 1998
Terri and Linda was the one I remember specifically ... I grew up with them.. their voices are more silly and goofy...thier voices fit Serena personality better
Tracey Moore 🥰😍💙💙💙
I thought that was Rini when Stephanie Sheh came on. I don't remember finding her voice as grating in context, fortunately. I suppose she has logged the most hours as the character by a considerable margin.
rw:i love them all ,but Linda Ballantyne voice is so iconic from sailor moon! ^_^
TRACEY MOORE
Unpopular opinion: i like Stephanie's version best
The original, Tracy Moore
Unpopular Opinion, apparently... I fucking LOVE Linda Ballantyne... It must be nostalgia.
I must be the only person that likes Linda. I thought her spastic energy fit Usagi well who was also over the top and kind of spastic.
