More important than Freeza's voice is actually Gohan's voice.

His innocence and vulnerability was the heart that drove Dragonball Z, and making him (quote the Dub's producers) a "tough Milhouse Van Houten" simply dosen't cut it.

If anything, the performance in the hopeful re-dub should be more like the soft, gentle and sweet Oliver Twist from the 1950's version of Oliver! The English voice actress of Mikuru (of Suzumiya Haruhi) and Hinata (from Naruto) would be perfect for the improved dub Gohan.

Even as a teenager, she could just deepen the voice a bit and still have him sound sweet and boyish, like the "Daniel from th Karate Kid" performance they gave Ranma's male voice in the early 1990's dub.

Let's hope Funimation dosen't stuff up the re-do as well.
