Nickelodeon (ended 2008)
If you were listening closely during Iroh???s tale for this week???s episode you would have heard a new voice actor taking over for Iroh???s voice during the soccer scene, this makes it obvious that the creators aren???t??? going to kill off Iroh just because Mako died. They will do this for the rest of season 2 to slowly get us used to the new voice so it doesn???t just come out of no where and we feel hurt because it was changed.
??I for one liked the new voice how about the rest of you?
I found it rather jarring, to tell you the truth...it was noticeably higher-pitched, and I felt it was a pretty poor imitation of the accent....to the point of caricature, even.

| Wow, I never even noticed that! I think my friend was talking over the scene at that point. I'll make sure to pay closer attention when it comes on my Nick2 channel, then I'll give my opinion. Nice catch, by the way! |

Was that line about the moonflower delivered by the alternate actor?
I'm thinking of the lines Iroh spoke to the young boys...the ones where a lot of people notice a difference in the voice.

Yeah, I noticed the voice difference and so did my 6-year-old.?? I didn't like the new voice tonight, but I'm trying to reserve judgement.?? We only heard a couple of phrases and I'm so used to hearing Mako that it wouldn't have sounded "right" to me no matter who else it was.??
I am wondering if perhaps this episode was actually the last one that they finished, production-wise??? Since the stories were written by so many people, and since it didn't directly advance the quickly-thickening plot, I would not be surprised if that were the case.?? Hey, I could be totally wrong.

| hello people, long time viewer of avatar, first time poster. Only reason i posted here is because the writer's themselves confirmed that mako already did the voice for the whole 2nd season. Same thing applies with most of the voice actors i believe. So why was his voice different then?? i can safely assume that his sickness was catching up to him unfortunately... hopefully this helps you people ^^ |

I'm required to say, "WELCOME! WE LOVE YOU!!!", there I got that over with. Read someone comments above, I think you might find it a better explanation for the brief voice change. |
