What do you think of the english voice actors in Beach Volley Ball?
I find Klonoa's british accent cute X3
I'll give it this much: it's leagues above Eric Stit's performance XD

Wow, didn't even KNOW this game had English translations. Well at least this one is done right!
Makes me want to play this game now. ;)
A lot of people dislike the English voices in this game... but I think they're fitting! Klonoa sounds like a bouncy young kid like he should and everyone else is appropriate too. =B
Yeah, the English actors are far from bad. It's especially surprising considering England isn't known for doing dub work. There's this and the Operation Rainfall games; those are all I'm aware of x3
Here's one with Garlen and Nahatomb's voice actor:

If only this game was released in the US -_-
Only users in the UK managed to buy this game, I think.
KBV was released in Japan as well...I held 2 copies in my hands at the same time during my stay in Japan but put them back on the shelf; I'd never play them and they'd just collect dust (though they are probably collecting dust in Akihabara, Japan anyway). -_-
... I hate the idea of Klonoa characters speaking English, but... I have to say, the English voice here actually isn't half bad. Certainly better than Eric Stitt. Not bad guys. :)
... My concern is what they did with Nahatomb. I mean, seriously guys? Turning the genuinely threatening Big Bad of the game into a much smaller character playing... volleyball? :(
I mean, look, I get the mentality, but... really? Nahatomb?
... Also, what's with the lack of Joka? If you're gonna give us Nahatomb, at least throw in Joka! >:O
... Why am I complaining? We never got this game to begin with. -_-
Joka's in the game though. :3
Klonoa should never speak a normal language, phantomilian FTW. Giberish makes the character even more adorable IMO.
I always liked the voice acting in Beach Volleyball, Klonoa sounded like he should in english, unlike in the Wiimake with english on. For that, I ended up turning it to french, because even the phantomilian sounded like they just tacked it on in a hurry with no real effort, awkward and all. Hopefully, if there is a future Klonoa, they'll put more effort into finding appropriate voice actors, that is if they go with an english dub.
Anyway I did give this game a try on an emulator, and it was fun, actually challenging to play. I never did really learn how to play it properly though, but I might pick it up again.
^Wut? Phantomilian was done by the original voice actor and sounded as it suppose to, that is similar to Lunatea's Veil. I didn't like the orginal high pitch squeaky voice, probably made by raising the pitch of the actor with an audio software.

Yeah I know, which is why I only liked Klonoa's voice acting in the Wiimake, Kumiko Watanabe did an awesome job as usual. The rest of the voice actors though... they were way too obviously speaking the same word over and over again, there wasn't that much effort put into making it sound like actual fluid speech, which is something the originals got nailed down quite well.
This game was released in the UK too? I really want a copy. The voice-acting is rather cute.
Well, since I'm here, I may as well give my thoughts. I can't stand most of the voice acting for beach volleyball, especially Klonoa's actor. The actor makes him sound a little annoying and he mispronounces phrases (it's WAhoo, no WOOhoo) and the next bit involves something Eric Stitt got right that this guy did wrong: The guy dosen't sound like he's the actual character. I mean, voice acting isn't just the voice the character makes, it's also how the actor actually acts (hey, it's not called voice ACTING for nothing)for example, let's say the script calls for the character shouting at another character because he/she is mad at him/her for something, the actor had to make the character sound like he's mad, and when it comes to how emotionally a line is, this guy didn't get it right like Eric did. Honestly, I prefer Eric Stitt over this guy and I already explained why. And, just so I can give MY two cents on the phantomilian voice track, it sounds cute and sometimes funny, but it gets a little annoying after a while. Also, I'm one of those people that would rather have voice acting rather than just text.
