England's Voice Actor and 2 Seconds of America

[americanheroal.livejournal.com]

So Scott Freeman landed the role of Arthur Kirkland. This is Scott's first major roll and has been working as a background voice actor for a while with Funimation.

Youtube and FB is buzzing with comments and opinions and so it's our turn. What do you think of the English voice for England? (Or "Bri'en" as America seems to call him)

By the way, if you enjoy watching Hetalia online then I suggest you get the DVDs. It chalk full of extras including interviews with the Japanese voice actors.

I like America's voice, but I can't stand England's. It's somewhat painful to hear. I kind of want to kick something small and cute after hearing it. Maybe it's because I always thought England would sound like an angry Arthur Weasley.

I know they're going for the LOL and all, and I was OK with the other characters so far because aside from the freaky accents they sounded not far off from the Japanese VAs, or at least somewhat close to what I'd expect for those characters. England just sounds like, I dunno, what I'd expect the Robot Unicorn Attack unicorn to sound like. Kind of really do not want.
