Party Cannon 876 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 In today's episode, For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils, Luna's voice did not sound like her voice actress Tabitha St. Germain. Did anyone else notice that? It says on IMDB that it was her however it has been wrong in the past, especially if it is freshly edited. I feel this deserves a discussion topic in itself because this may have larger ramifications. One poster on YouTube stated that possibly what appeared to be Luna was actually Celestia disguised. This sounds odd but then again so did her voice, an element which is a crucial part to an animated show. Thoughts and explanations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayStorm 40 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 She did sound a little off, but not by THAT much 1 Babs Seed, Babs Seed, what we gonn-sorry too catchy. Special Thanks to Kyoshi for the Sig Pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rarity Paige Belle 1,854 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 Another thing, In the comics she still speaks with the royal we, but in the show she doesn't. Why? Beautiful, Stylish, Fabulous AND evil! What more could you want? (Thanks Kyoshi for letting everyone use your sigs!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adorkable 2,737 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 It may be because Tabitha isn't used to doing Luna that often. Luna hasn't really spoken overall that much in the series, really. ^^" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Twilight has been giving her more voice coaching behind the scenes in the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe 216 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 Didn't really think much about it. Was too busy enjoying it Even though, it was not the best episode, I still liked it. I am a brony, and I am proud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna hasn't really spoken overall that much in the series, really. ^^" You're right ^^ Although all the love that Luna receives,she doesn't get much time to talk,therefore Tabitha doesn't have specially lots of practise with Luna's voice. That could be an explanation after all 1 ~~ Forum Rules - Forum FAQ - What do you think of me? ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinter 3,064 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 If luna is in a ponies dreams, it changes her voice, like translation software XD I bet she speaks french in Rarity's dreams XD 2 My OC's: Malinter, Rahl, Vengeful impact & alias-the-marked-one First fic i've written since forever here Skype: Malinter@Outlook.com "Defeating a sandwich only makes it tastier." most legendary quote ever.

Adorkable 2,737 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 I know this isn't really the place to put it, but Luna needs her own episode. ^^" Kind of like NIghtmare Night, but more Luna speaking parts. ^^ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forlong 1,726 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 Somepony remember to ask Tabitha about it at Babscon. Check out my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5qXAcUzrizEHvorGalU5jg?feature=watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazitaco 596 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 (edited) There was really only one part that really stuck out to me, the part where she meets sweetie in real life. She sounded very different, but i could still tell it was Tabitha. She actually sounded a lot like Celestia. I wonder if it was intentional or not.

Nameless Knight 1,001 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 Maybe unlike the other characters She is actually getting older! "I had a name... forgot it many, centuries ago.

Troblems 5,617 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 Honestly, I'm glad someone else besides me noticed. Her voice was a jarring to me. So much so I found it difficult to notice what was going on. Over all though, I thought it was a good episode. Odd however that Luna plays the ghosts of past, present and future.

Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 She did sound a little off, don't know why. It wasn't as clear as usual.

Adorkable 2,737 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 I bet it's just hard for her being Rarity most of the time, then trying to remember a not often speaking character like Luna. ^^" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adorkable 2,737 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 I thought they changed it intentionally to show that she actually is growing older. I dunno. I'm just saying, Tabitha doesn't play Luna that often. So it may be hard for her to remember exactly how the voice was in her head at times. Your idea is good, too! ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoneForeverBye 184 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 It seems that with every time Luna appears, she sounds a bit different. I noticed it back in Sleepless in Ponyville, mostly. Who needs signatures? ...not me seriously, you're not supposed to see this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DND 2,355 March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 It was different, sure, but it was just a change in tone. She doesn't have to have that highish, whimsical voice all the time. She was firm and solid with her voice change, and it sounded like she was garnering a more modern accent. She was still Luna, regardless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubWolf 17,254 March 24, 2014 Share March 24, 2014 She sounded the same to me. We don't hear her very often, so I probably assumed her voice was unchanged. Either way, her voice matches her character. On a side note, it's not the same when watching the show knowing that the voice of a character has been changed. Almost as if the character is well, dead and has been replaced. Sig by Wolf, Handwriting by SparklingSwirls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim&Venöm 18,760 March 24, 2014 Share March 24, 2014 I don't buy her not practicing enough. If that were the case then she would've sounded differently long before this episode. Perhaps Tabitha wasn't available when that scene needed to be dubbed. Maybe the track got screwed up and DHX only found out last minute. It honestly sounded more like Nicole Oliver at the end.

Scootalove 10,689 March 24, 2014 Share March 24, 2014 Her voice sounded the same to me, but only a little different. It's not like she was being replaced, it sounded like Nicole Oliver when we were near the end of the episode.

Flash Fire 386 March 24, 2014 Share March 24, 2014 Maybe Tabitha had a cold? My oc - http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/flash-fire-r5698 "Take my love. Take my land.

Castle Bleck 19,334 March 24, 2014 Share March 24, 2014 (edited) Luna, NMM, Rarity... No matter who she voices, Tabitha just can't seem to be able to do an un-corny evil laugh. Edited March 25, 2014 by Anti-Villain 1 By Emerald.↑ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
