The Mane six voices

[RippedOffMattress 314]

Has anypony noticed that the mane six's voice actresses have been sounding a bit different and deeper?

I honestly thought they got replaced, but they still have the originals.

 

Rarity is least changed, but Pinkie and Fluttershy have the most changed. (Maybe Twilight, I don't know.)

[Adro2503 121]

I havent noticed anything. What episode is the first one with the voicechanges?

[Gingerpotato 889]

Thank god I'm not the only one who noticed this.

 

Me and my friend were watching the It's About Time episode and I swear Twi's voice and Spike's had gotten considerably deeper.

Perhaps they're using new recording software or maybe the voice actors have suddenly all been injected with testosterone.

[Cynic 336]

At times I've noticed this, but not all the time. Twilight is the most noticeable in my opinion.

[Zalgo 593]

Yeah, twilight's voice in it's about time sounds pretty different

[Dany Heatley 160]

Yeah I noticed it too in It's about Time. It sounded like they only did one take and it wasn't up to par with the stellar voice acting we are accustomed to.

I've first noticed this in, "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000".

[DJ MUFF1N D3RP 322]

I only noticed it in "Its About Time". The latest episode was back to usual quality. But yeah, I wonder what that was all about? It was really the only thing that kept me from completely loving the episode.

[Strafe 594]

Twilight sounded a little different in the time travel episode but that's all I noticed, maybe the voice actresses were having a bad day or something.

[Radiance64 7,053]

Yeah, I noticed a difference in Twilight's voice in 'It's About Time' as well. Maybe Tara's voice was getting tired between all the gigs she gets?

[Jadefire 2,797]

Just a side effect of having voiced them for a while, I think. People's voices tend to change a bit when doing voice work, as the actor gets more used to the role. Since the actresses are all adults, the changes should be minor at best. Not to mention that people's voices might change slightly when tired or sick, and changes in recording software and hardware will have slight effects as well.

Voice actors will tend to adjust over time. Sometimes they change nominally; other times the voices undergo a greater alteration. The best example of this I can immediately think of is Kevin Murphy, who voiced Tom Servo on MST3K. He replaced Josh Weinstein, who left the show after the first season, and subsequently attempted to emulate his Servo voice which, if I recall correctly, was deeper. Ultimately, Murphy adopted his own cadence and mannerisms for the character.

 

I interpreted Twilight's voice change as associated with the stress of Future Twilight, who had been awake for several days and overwhelmed by the prospect of a doomsday scenario. Her voice then was noticeably deeper than Twilight's standard tone. Otherwise, I haven't noted much of a distinct difference. Maybe I just haven't been paying close attention.

I watched It's About Time and Lesson Zero back to back and Twilight's voice is the same in those two episodes because of how Twilight freaks out and is under stress. When you compare those two episodes to the rest of the episodes where Twilight is calm and fine, it's a different voice. I think that makes Twilight's character become even deeper.

Yep, i totally know what you are talking about and twilight seems to have been changed a lot.

[Shankveld 4,949]

I love Rarity's voice, she seems for dramatic ? Which is great in my books.

Twilight does sound deeper to me though for sure ~

[Twi Rubix 726]

Twilight did sound different the first time I saw "Its about time" But hey, I like it when they do that. Making the voices deeper/more mature. Its like Finn from Adventure Time. He had a dramatic difference in voice in one episode.

[Jokuc 8,173]

Yeah I have noticed this, Pinkie's voice is deeper then it was in the earlier episodes. But I'm fine with it, so it doesn't matter. It's not a huge difference after all.

[Dragonshy 2,305]

I'm pretty sure that Twilight is voiced by someone else in the "Its about time" episode.

There's no indication that Tara Strong was absent from the voice recording; she is pretty clearly voicingTwilight from the present. As I said, I think she dropped into a deeper tone for Future Twilight in order to convey her stress and "post-apocalyptic future" parody.

There is another voice actor that has played Twilight in the past. It was on IMDB.

[Homura Akemi 974]

I re-watched the second episode last night and it reminded me how Pinkie Pie's voice has changed to me. It has started to sound deeper overtime, at least in my ears.

No, I haven't noticed anything...

If so, I would blame it on growing up... don't some people need to grow up?

[Yellow Diamond 7,569]

AJ's voice sounded deeper in "Ponyville Confidential". I'm curious as to whether Ashleigh is intentionally altering her voice or not.

[Queen Cassie 3,057]

Some of the voices have sounded different in a few episodes. For Twilight, as pointed out, it's primarily a change adopted by Tara Strong intentionally to capture Twilight's mood at the time.

 

As for others, it's hard to say...certainly Rarity sounds a bit different at times in Ponyville Confidential, and Rainbow Dash and Applejack have both occasionally sounded off, but...on the whole the voices still sound pretty much the same throughout the series as far as I can tell.

[Ice Storm 1,020]

I didn't honestly notice a difference. All and all the Voice acting I thought was amazing, and I loved every bit of it.
