it's interesting that they mostly went for musical theater people rather than any of the fifteen established cartoon voice actors.
That being said, the original music is definitely the strongest aspect of the show.
What do you think of the voice cast in steven universe?

i don't give a single flying fuck about this show. looks shit is shit

I think it worked very well from what I saw, though Steven's voice goes from grating to kind of adorable to grating again. I had always wondered why Pearl sounded so familiar until I found out she was also the original Nessa in Wicked.
Tyler Morgan
I like them for the most part, though I definitely wish Zach had stopped forcing the younger voice earlier rather than like until the movie and Future
Adam Wright
I hate the fact that they used special guest celebrities for fusions because it guaranteed they'd never have a second speaking role.
That aside, I enjoyed how good it sounded to have the actual voice actors singing and not having a split between speaking voice and singing voice.
Christian Edwards
Perhaps it made for some nice songs, but the reliance on musicians ultimately hurt the show since the actresses couldn't be in every episode due to budget issues.
I would have prefered if the cast was filled with professional voice actresses, not famous singers
Joshua Ramirez
Michaela Dietz is easily the weakest core cast member in terms of her singing performance, even though she's spot-on in her voice acting for the character of Amethyst. The rest are pretty good. I think casting broadway dames as the Diamonds was an inspired choice, but they didn't do nearly as much as they probably should have with that, because the last couple episodes of the series centering on the final conflict and reconciliation should have been its own season really, while cutting some of the townie episodes that didn't go anywhere.

What the fuck are you doing trying to give a real answer?

And it's good they did. American cartoons tend to rely on such a small number of VAs, particularly in regards to female characters. I'd much rather they try musicians for a musically inclined show than have Tara Strong voice six characters on the show, including Steven.
Jaxson Turner
Be the change you want to see, I guess?
Asher Brown
Honestly the only character who always felt weak was Garnet. Her voice was interesting but her acting was always flat, moments when she needs to emote beyond a smooth monotone sound so awkward and forced and she has a problem with enunciation.
Cameron Butler
I gotta admit, I like when new voices are used, like I know they’re professionals for a reason but like, let new talent live I guess

I actually think Sugar handled that pretty well, all things considered. Blue and Yellow each got a song of their own, and the movie utilized all three famed singers in that rousing, nostalgic opening number as well as in "Let Us Adore You" and its sweet reprise. They even got minor parts in SU Future's intro.
With as big a cast as SU had, the Diamonds were treated very well with the amount of screen time and singing time they were given.

Let Us Adore You is fucking fine as fuck
Nolan Kelly
Almost as fine as Blue Diamond

Did anyone else feel Pearl looked bustier than usual in that scene?

A little redundant if you ask me

I think they are all lovely.
Christian Garcia
Alexandrite had her own voice actress?
Bentley Wood
When she actually spoke in things other than roars, yes.
Kevin Rodriguez
I fucking hate everything about Garnet's and so all fusions and Diamonds VA to be celebs.
voice acting being a devalued form of acting is one of the most major things holding back western cartoons.
Even Japan treats it's VAs as VAs instead of letting the celebrity corrupting their tastes
James Howard
I don't think I like this show overall looking back on it, but the voice actors were pretty good mostly.
Nicholas Taylor
I feel bad for Garnet's voice actor sometimes
Caleb Lopez
I will never not laugh at the rubies
Parker Phillips
The more Nestelle feels bad and hurted the happier I stay
Xavier Thomas
why?
Kayden Flores
Voice cast was excellent.

Good morning to you too

The only one I would really consider super weak is Estelle. Her voice is fine when Garnet needs to be a quiet, soft spoken, stoic leader, but literally any time she needs to emote anything, Estelle's voice is god awful. Woman can not emote to save her life.
Sebastian Price
Damn I really wanna jerk it to them
