[@StarZendonna1687]

Queen Beryl's Voice Actress Naz Edwards for DiC is best one overall because Naz gave Queen Beryl an sizzling evil sound in her voice.

[@DarkAvenga]

Susan Graham totally agree.. Loved her

[@hkazu63]

The DiC dub didn't get many things right and a lot of the voices were straight up bad. But Naz Edwards' Beryl is the greatest casting of the whole thing. I like all of the Beryl voices and I love Cindy Robinson and her work, but Naz's guttural, sly and rather royal clipped tones were a marvel that really helped the first season, for me.

[@L33TRedNinja]

She definitely has my vote! 😊

[@xgray2012]

Susan Graham I actually thought Ms. Edwards' performance as Queen Beryl in the DiC dub of Sailor Moon was funny. Like unintentionally funny since I don't think I can take the old English dubs of Sailor Moon very seriously anymore.

DarkAvenga I thought her performance in the DiC dub of Sailor Moon was hilarious. Like unintentionally hilarious since I unfortunately can not take the old English dub of Sailor Moon very seriously anymore.

Cindy was one of the absolute best of the Viz Dub, but Naz's performance was just perfection.

[@mahmamia5100]

Naz was really quite good. For some reason, watching her now after watching Archer gives her delivery "Jessica Walter as Malory" vibes. Cindy was a solid replacement. I get the feeling she based her performance on Naz's, though.

Very regal with Cindy, while Naz gives it a witchy feel.

[@BlackWingedSeraphX]

I like Naz ^^

[@Alysa-Aiday]

*Original Japanese:* Misa Watanabe *English:* Naz Edwards They - in my humble opinion at least - best captured Beryl's character. Also, again my personal opinion, Cindy Robinson kinda looks like her

[@sirensong7956]

Misa is the best for the Japanese version she makes Beryl sound seductive and scary and for the English dub I prefer Cindy her voice fits beryl's character better no offense to Naz I liked her for the nostalgia but she made beryl sound like an old hag and the original English dub was just cheesy and laughable thank god VIZ is redubbing the series.

[@TanorFauxofOltanis]

Definitely Naz, I loved her voice for it. Is a shame, it had to be used for that early Sailor Moon script, although it got better overtime, so I think she settled into being Beryl as time moved on. Keiko Han, I already loved as Luna, I also love as Beryl. I think Misa is a fantastic alternative too. Cindy is an ok alternative too.

[@xgray2012]

I say the Crystal version of Queen Beryl's character is better than the original 90's anime version.

[@WraysCustoms]

I kinda like the Japanese Crystal voice the best. Gets to the root of the character's motivation and is way more emotional. The others are amazing as well, emphasizing different aspects of the character in their own way.

[@Satoshi9801]

I think Naz Edwards was perfect in the role, really putting substance and effort into Beryl and her personality. I just can't describe it, but she's there. The others were fine as well, except for Jill, who clearly didn't put much into it since it was just for a single episode.

[@Washuluver87]

English Dub Naz was the best. But both Japanese Voices were so similar it was unreal and amazing.

Ooh, I didn't know Luna and Beryl had the same voice actress. Interesting! Is it possible to request the rest of the Shitennou as well? [I'd request the other outer Senshi, but it may be better to wait until Viz has some clips out of them]

They didn't. The voice of Luna just did it for that flashback.

[@ottagol1985]

The few seconds Jill voiced Beryl reminded me an anecdote from the original recording. The voices of the Sailors had giggle fits whenever Keiko Han switched from Luna to Beryl. As for Jill stepping in, I'm guessing Naz was unavailable at the time or did they lose contact with her?

[@Phoenix-di5ri]

Hearing Naz say "Well if it isnt little miss moon princess. All dressed up and no place to go except oblivion!!!" That was the best line. She will always be Queen Beryl to me.

[@RecoveringChristian]

Fair play. I agree. It's just that outside of those moments, it fell kinda flat, far less punch, and like she was a real housewife of Nebraska on ambien.

[@jedstuhr]

@@RecoveringChristian It's just that Beryl, in the Japanese version, also didn't have that Disney wicked witch voice, and so Cindy's, to me, was just more accurate to the original.... actually, imho, I feel like 95% of the voices chosen to for the redub were pretty accurate to their Japanese counterparts.... Naoko Takeuchi, herself, hand-picked the voices, after all!🙂

[@RecoveringChristian]

@@jedstuhr that's great to hear! I agree. However, I feel that came at the expense of an even better dub. They pitched their perfomances to match their Japanese counterparts. Cindy has a beautiful A tier voice. Great that it matched the same energy as the original. I just wish she gave the character a different set of wings and her own spin on it. Japanese VAs are always tough to imitate.

[@vampireunicorn2271]

I know I'm probably in the minority when I say this, but I prefer Cindy Robinson to the other English VAs. Given Queen Beryl's appearance, the ideal voice that comes to mind is deep, calm and sinister so it's a bit for weird for me to hear a typical witchy voice coming out of her mouth. Both Japanese voices are good, but Misa Watanbe sounded more natural so she's my favourite of the two.

[@RecoveringChristian]

From other people's pov, they see the opposite. From a 7 foot tall amazon with later on (over a yard of stacked hair), snarling grimace with hyper canines and taloned hands, we get to hear a conventional, generic RHWOBH voice, MELLOW and chill...Cindy's voice is beautiful A tier, but for Beryl....Naz is better, delivers soft and hard, menacing and vulnerable, chaotic lawful evilness, frightening and ridiculous cheese.
