Dot's voice is very cute and innocent, which perfectly represents Dot because I think she's sort of a shy introverted little girl who prefers solitude and just being one with the stars in the sky. She likes nighttime because it's peaceful and calm and everyone is asleep. But I think I actually liked Dot's original voice better in the movie/early webisodes because don't quote me on this but I found it sounded a bit more ethnic. I don't know the ethnicities of the voice actors but I thought Dot sounded more ethnic the first time. But I know ethnicity doesn't really exist in Lala Land. I think Jewel's voice has always sounded a bit obnoxious and spoiled, no matter who voiced her. That's just her archetype. I'm not a fan of Peanut's voice, if it's supposed to be loud and shrill than they got it right - I just don't like all her shouting. Crumbs' voice is a bit... raspy? If that's what you'd call it - it's a bit different than the other girls. Ember and Sunny have very deep voices, almost tomboyish. I do like the boy's voices, and I really like how they have actual male va's. You'd be surprised at how many studios take on female va's to get the pre-pubscent juvenile little boy's voice down. (Tommy Pickles from Rugrats was voiced by an '80s pop songstress. Bart Simpson... girl...) Pillow's voice was much better with her original va, as it was more soft and sleepy. Like when she spoke you could tell she was so tired and ready to just sleep. Pillow's voice now just doesn't give off the same effect, she almost sounds constantly annoyed or displeased. And Bea... well Bea has just never had a decent voice, they always make her sound a little... unpleasant. Spot's voice is perfect, they capture her perfectly. She sounds just wonderful, a little goofy and unaware.
