Connecticon 2017 - Jeremy Shada's Spanish Accent

The most important question about Lance from Voltron

[@KekerikiGreen]

K but who else clocked thinking they were gonna hear him speak Spanish

[@droppkick1538]

Captain French Fry yes.... I clocked for this

[@jojolyneee]

me

[@c0rrupted_gh05t]

i actually choked when i found out he doesn't actually do it

[@shanesoleilscb4250]

Captain French Fry I did

[@licksstick6042]

I did *cries silently in a corner*

[@blueskiesandstars650]

SOMEBODY👏 TEACH👏 THIS👏BOY👏 SPANISH👏

[@sofyreneko9104]

blue skies and stars ME OFREZCO COMO VOLUNTARIA

[@MrBatgodess]

blue skies and stars and while their at it can you teach me lol

[@byrn]

Thank you for not butchering someone's language dude. A lot of folks aren't that respectful.

[@abilaiart3136]

WHAT. Like uhhhh. No. It’s only a language? Sure I would feel weird af if he speaks in Spanish and I don’t understand, but like it’s only a way to communicate with other human beings? It’s not disrespectful

[@togekid3024]

theyre talking about jeremy, a non latino guy, not wanting to butcher a spanish line that is supposed to be said by a poc who is supposed to be fluent in spanish. this isnt about people or him not understanding lmao???? it really is respectful that he chose not to say it until he can say it right and do the language and the people who speak it justice. (alsooo not sure why that would make you feel weird 👀)

[@abilaiart3136]

f5ver heheheheheheh if you only knew... I am Latina so ye I actually wouldn’t feel offended? Like unless you’ve learned Spanish for a lot of time you can’t get things down so I actually would feel weird if he has a strong accent. Basically what I wanna say is that I am Latina I understand Spanish cause like Ive only lived here and meh who cares if he says it wrong. Like lots of peeps who speak Spanish watch Voltron in Spanish

[@michelle-lf6gp]

As a Latin person, I know that Spanish fandom would love it, even if isn't like OH POR DIO' ÉL TIENE UNA PERFECTA FORMA DE HABLAR Y LO HACE FLUIDAMENTE but I think that If the Spanish's Voice actor of Lance do the part, everybody would be happy

[@danette26]

Pala-dudes Nah, the line would be entirely in Spanish instead.

[@sarahmshimunov]

Respect for this boy just rose like tenfold. I love how he's just honest about his talent and he just wants to get everything about his character right and not offend anyone. Perfect person, wish I could meet him.

[@purplerose244]

Totally agree

[@masonpines6349]

Can confirm. Met him once at a local comiccon. INSANELY chill and approachable. Had VIP tickets, (not even a flex, it was a really small con in a City barely big enough to even have one), and end up walking by his table before there was even a line. Just the friendliest, most chill dude ever.

[@DukeOfDORKS]

He is??? So kind???

[@PercabethIsMyLife]

Duke Of Dorks oh man I was there and later in the day he recognised me by my cosplay. Absolutely wonderful human being

[@jae-lf4uh]

Im cuban--**RUNS AWAY FROM LIFE AND LIES IN TRASHCAN** ME AND LANCE ARE CUBAN **SCREEECH**

[@rshinsii]

Edd Fruitsnek Can I come with you??????😂😂😂

[@PippElulu]

Day number 5, Edd Fruitsnek and I are currently residing in a trash can feasting on Lance feels. Many have joined us and it's starting to feel cramped but that's okay because all the other trash cans are full.

[@mandilaz]

Edd Fruitsnek SAME FAM

[@danshamalam4739]

SAAAAAME

[@pelusapuppy]

Edd Fruitsnek I'm not cuban but I speak spanish, so :^

[@sayobee6843]

ok but lance coming out of no where and speaking spanish is like a fucking dream holy moly

[@danshamalam4739]

eyyyy finally someone doesn't want to butcher spanish . I just hope they teach him how to do a cuban accent cause there's a fin difference between like mexican accent and cuban accent . Grew up with one half of my family being cuban and the other mexican . If somebody yelled across the house you could tell right away from who's side they where

[@amethystpaw3437]

LMAO true

[@tweetbecky6836]

LMAOOOO HECK YEAH TRUE

[@aimei1590]

Damn XD

[@MINIKAcosplay]

cries hes so sweet

[@hanaberry.shortcake]

AHHHH MINIKA!

[@user-sn9rv2wc7h]

I'm cuban, and the respect that he just showed made me so fucking happy. I'm so glad that he actually wanted to make sure he was portraying a cuban character accurately and it would be so great to hear lance speak spanish in the show!

[@user-sx3ri5bb5b]

This gave me flashbacks to the incredible crew where he had to speak Spanish for one of the skits -I didn't think it was that bad-

[@jvcelynn]

Ethan :/ RAKAKAKA

[@eunchaewonz]

ə :/ oh dear god don’t bring up him singing in spanish🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Petrichorus-]

honestly besides the way that he pronounced "hola" (the H is supposed to be silent) it wasn't bad

[@droppkick1538]

I really wanna hear Lance do the Jeremy "RA-KA-KA-KA-KA"

[@lin8168]

DAMN I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS ACTUALLY CONFIRMED HE WAS CUBAN LIKE???? I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A THING ACCEPTED FANDOM-WIDE THANK FUCC

[@classclown1616]

*cries in Spanish *

[@Alexa-io5cu]

Wait josh Keaton speaks Spanish, he should have just taught him.

[@fandom_random_trash2198]

Alexa10110 omg Yeah lmao

[@anonymousfellow8879]

It’s not just “speaking spanish”, it’s getting the right dialect. A lot of my classmates in school were from Mexican or Peruvian or Puerto Rican families, then in college I became good friends with a few with Columbian backgrounds, and another with a Cuban background, and finally most Americans-wanting-to-learn-Spanish are shipped out to Argentina for at least a year. So yeah, there’s a LOT more to it than making sure you got those vowels and rr’s right (and no, I don’t speak spanish, although I picked up the “gist” of maybe every other word when sharing a room with 3 spanish speakers...but as no one’s been able to help me learn that r-trill thing?)

[@FloreMar-yp3iz]

It depends on the dialect Josh knows, as Cuban is one dialect, Mexican is another, Argentinean is another, etc. It's quite complicated

[@Alexa-io5cu]

Oops I commented this when I was younger I now know how this could be a stupid thing to say lol thank you for educating me !

[@hauntedhorrorberry]

THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN THE SHOW, Pidge speaking Italian, Lance speaking Spanish and Shiro speaking a little Japanese. Hunk could maybe speak some Samoan (I think??)

[@hannahw1133]

Jeremy Shada, the kindest and most thoughtful boy alive. I love him so much

[@saintkitten9984]

A spanish line for Lance??? That isn't hasta la later???? Si por favor papacito

[@mandilaz]

I'm Cuban... BYE IM GOING TO SEE LANCE

[@elysianabyss7773]

So When I Found That Lance Speaks Spanish I Was Like: NO WAY. And I NEVER Noticed Before Because I See The Episodes In Spanish.

[@ceve]

He never spoke Spanish in the English version, damn

[@valentinaalcalde3177]

To be fair in spanish dub they try to keep it with a neutral spanish so he doesnt have a cuban accent at all. It doesnt count either(?

[@emzz-vc4sy]

Quiznack! And just when I thought I couldn't love him more.Te enseñaré español, Jeremy.

[@Gilove2dance]

Protect this man at all costs...what an absolute amazing guy

[@Cactusflowerzz]

He's so sweet like goddd

[@ethanb8056]

im living

[@keniku]

Ethan B I feel you, I feel you on a spiritual level

[@mayumigarcia9445]

Just imagine him taking them all so off guard with a random phrase when he's startled or something, haha

[@certifiedspacebisexual]

honestly that's super considerate! a lot of actors wouldn't do something like that

[@ki5376]

hasta la later

[@arikiri4182]

WHAT A GOOD BOY

[@kud2019]

Oh boi. I'm from Chile, and I really wanna teach him how to speak Spanish. To bad my dreams never come true.

[@siriusk625]

he's so cute i love him

[@crowking666]

Two years and I'm still waiting for this line to leak or something lmao.

[@elysianabyss7773]

When I Knew That Lance Spoke Spanish And I Read A Theory That Said That He Was Cuban I Wished That He Would Be Colombian, I'm Mexican, But It's Great To Know That He Is A Latin.

[@fantasymmorpgroleplayer8871]

I have mad respect for Jeremy, but I also wish that they would just cast a Latino next time. As a Cuban, I appreciate any kind of representation. Everything "Latino" is usually Mexican or maybe Puerto Rican in the media. Super happy that there's a character I love that is Cuban :)

[@theempireeofficial3935]

I like Jeremy as Lance. I can’t think of everyone else who can play him. Plus he doesn’t need a Spanish accent per say. He should just say some Spanish words and phrases. If he says on every occasion, people will know he is from Hispanic descent. Not that I’m against a Latino doing it but Jeremy is just so perfect in the role. Plus he should just drop Spanish words or phrases occasionally.

[@danyphantom7008]

As a Hispanic girl, I'm so happy that he doesn't wanna butcher my language. :)

[@shadi2055]

girl: so you couldn't do this line because your accent is bad right jeremy: no, im just bad at speaking spanish and also my accent is awful okay buddy... i love him but he got so defensive jfjjdjshs

[@scarlettheap2131]

I'm looking forward to this Spanish line.

[@mayumigarcia9445]

I hope it does happen though! ❤️w❤️ But it's so nice that he doesn't want to mess it up. I love him 😭😭😭

[@gio7645]

im still mad at myself for missing this panel hhh

[@dianavds6226]

I thank KZbin for recommending this

[@hiraunia]

Well technically he should learn how to do a Cuban accent and not a Spanish accent, you'd be shocked at how different they are.

[@EverShall]

My mind: Lance,Lance,Lance,L A N C E

[@catalinaplaza7909]

Josh Keaton (Shiro's voice) is actually fluent in Spanish, he should teach him!! we need Lance speaking in Spanish!

[@ItsMedusaStone]

I was here and it was so nice to hear him speak in person.

[@astroidangels3378]

Aww he’s so sweet :,)

[@sd_wafiya6018]

I'm so proud! Really proud

[@clutterbot7279]

cryin bc im so excited just by the thought of lance speaking spanish in the show omg

[@purplspace]

I’m ready to just be watching Season 5 and Lance start speaking Spanish like THANK YOU JEREMYYY

[@meb1130]

fingers crossed for season 8 I swear I would cry if he did

[@inevera13]

I love him 😭

[@marvelousmrsnunya]

Omg I'm so happy he said that! For a native Spanish speaker, hearing the wrong accent in spanish feels like hearing a teacher's nail screeching on a black board... Respect, man!

[@kylierosee]

GOD I want to hear Lance speak Spanish SO BAD

[@FlusteredBushStudios]

This better happen i need this to happen Jeremy has to make this happen season 8

[@nerdloser9987]

*I live*

[@chrispyynugget1537]

The only Spanish words he's ever said was 'Hasta la'

[@Ju-hp7mw]

Yo esperaba que hablara en español :'v

[@castillomics]

en una escena habla en español lol

[@castillomics]

creo que dos palabras en español son algo. al menos nos cuenta más de él y eso aunque no sea la gran cosa para mi es importante. ojalá oírlo hablando en nuestro idioma de nuevo, o que al menos se explique mejor aunque creo que todxs sabemos ya que es cubano. sin embargo, no es motivo para que hable en español. un personaje bilingue oooohmyyyy- algún dia ojalá

[@speedysnail1518]

I love him 😂(as a voice actor)

[@justanormalalien4758]

THE FANFICTIONS SHALL COME TRUE!!!! WE ALL GO BY THE DIRTY LAUNDRY

[@valentinar9966]

I can teach you Spanish if you want 😏

[@zephyrz66]

I Love him so much. I wish I could teach him how to speak Spanish :)

[@thingsthatbeesdontdo1513]

Omg human Lance is So cute

[@ghhostass]

LANCE MY BABY-

[@weirdone1414]

They say he does the Spanish version voice but idk and btw I watch Voltron in Spanish because I understand it more

[@crystalkitty9746]

I SWEAR IF LANCE SPEAKS SPANISH IN SEASON 8 THEN IM DEAD💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@alykgray]

it’s so weird that he actually sounds a bit like lance bc a lot of voice actors change their voice A LOT (like he did for finn) but idk he just sounds naturally a lot like lance

[@shibby5157]

here after julie and the phantoms😼

[@peonichacha]

I just would really like an episode where lance speaks spanish and Keith speaks korean

[@aleleal6246]

I think im the only one that is here after jatp

[@iloveyou-rr9vu]

You're not alone😌

[@genesisfunes7551]

i love jeremy im happy he was so respectful that he only agreed if someone taught him explicitly so he wouldnt butcher the language but couldnt they have chosen a spanish speaking, maybe specifically cuban voice actor if they wanted their cuban character to actually speak spanish, dont get me wrong lances voice is iconic love jeremy but like thats why you dont hire white voice actors for a POC you know, or the wrong person of color since josh is hispanic i think or half hispanic and shiros supposed to be japanese or smth, which also no hate love josh but you know. also makes me sad keiths human ethnicity wasnt proven cause steven speaks korean and most of the fandom accepts hes korean from his dad side so kieth speaking korean at one point couldve been a thing.

[@BlackDiamond2718]

Makes me think of Michaela for saying, "MI TORTA!"

[@dianamensone8478]

I thought he was gonna do lances voice and say something in Spanish oml

[@jessemacken538]

Few things, one: Thank the gods he didn't butcher the spainish languge. Two: Why is jeremy shada SO QUIZNAKING ADORABLE?!?!?!??!?!?!?!

[@ogj13]

I hope the day will come that he will learn more and speak Spanish as Lance. And I hope he knows that the ‘h’ in ‘hola’ is silent now. HOLA SENORITA. 😅😂

[@alexbrush4001]

he said YET

[@tomie5937]

spanish speaking lance w h e r e

[@strawreos]

the person that asked him the question about his accent looks like Elizabeth David (one of the creators of In a Heartbeat) and I'm s h o o k

[@aswiftiekindofworld]

May I remind Jeremy of his time in the incredible crew *cough cough* Aj boy banner *cough cough*

[@lmao6391]

hasta la later *keith*

[@keniku]

IM AVOIT TO CRY

[@Criszcrosscut]

He looks like a mis of Will Poulter and Dylan O'Brian!!!! 😍

[@soupisedgy9385]

all i hear is lance what the frick edit: like jeremy shada LITERALLY sounds exactly like a mixture of finn and lance who of course are jeremy, but still i can only just picture lance talking

[@arlovanegas129]

Have Josh teach him!

[@theheirofgryffindor1317]

If he need someone who is cuban to teach him I’m right here✌️

[@arifarm5609]

I met him the saturday of ctcon! was this on saturday?

[@AuroraLineheart]

This was the Sunday of Ctcon actually! My friend (the person asking the question) met him Saturday too!

[@adrien6600]

Same! I almost cried lol

[@dzess1411]

I wonder what the line was going to be ??

[@natx3782]

I am not from Cuba but I speak spanish :3

[@Hellixn]

OMG I COULD TEACH HIM SPANISH OMG MEEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEEMMEEMEME Im so happy that me and Lance have something in common, expect that I'm Mexican BUT STILL WORKS

[@Lunafroyo]

Jeremy Shada is cute

[@eliannehorta4496]

DAME TACOS

#TEACHJEREMYSPANISH2K18

[@swhxradraws3397]

😂😂😂

[@aliciacboins9397]

hootie and the blowfish

[@aleyshamalik8735]

i understand that Jeremy is respectful n stuff but what if lance spoke a lil bit of Spanish here and there in the show? that would be pretty neat

[@sacmabirisim6655]

He is hot ..

[@idotheforkinthegarbagedisp5778]

Yo... speak español, uno, does, tequila, cat door.

[@pippybeans]

Wow clickbait much. But omg I love him he's so nice. ^^

[@mege1133]

RAKAKAKAKAA

[@junieeee]

I never really got into this show but like…why didn’t they just get an actor who could actually speak Spanish if they wanted to make the character Cuban? Jeremy Shada is dope don’t get me wrong, but his voice is as “whitebread” as they come, I don’t think I can even imagine what his attempt at spanish would sound like 😂

[@slushidraws2638]

We got click baited Lol that’s not even a word

[@Ominouspopsicle]

Lance is cuban!?!?!?! Cool😎

[@castillomics]

YEAH IM PROUD

[@ParkedTheCar]
