Of course, Seasoned Hayao's pre-lessons and showcase of practical applications were just the start of it all.

With what was happening, Creed Animations was mostly covered on simulating the sound of inanimate objects to be interacted with by Dragonball or TMNT characters.

However, they still weren't set for the voices that portray the characters and the "human" element of it.

Voice actors became necessary at a certain stage of the sound production process, so the process to gather them up became a priority.

It may or may not just be a matter of making do with those who fit their description.

In any case, this was a selection process that Alexander didn't want to take part in. There was much appropriate personnel to handle things and it was best to make them do what they are good at. [How Alexander may just regret this half-hearted task delegation in the end?]

Anyways, as far as voice actors were concerned, there weren't any notable people that come to mind. Alexander could name some Japanese ones but that was mostly because their voice was too prevalent in animes that it would be hard for somebody with research abilities to miss them.

There was still Bugs Bunny Mel Blanc in American history who had earned the title of "The Man of a Thousand Voices". It came to mind but it is just a piece of notable history that won't have much use to Creed Animations' hiring process.

Of course, when it came to voice acting history, "the" Walt Disney would be listed for voicing Mickey Mouse. However, Alexander would rather not dwell on that factoid much since the Disney Tigger and Creed Hobbes trouble is trouble he wants to avoid.

Musical May did pass on as many other months would and the voice actor hiring did come to pass.

When he got the update and cast list, he imagined that he would be rather dismissive of some of the voice acting details for the most part.

After all, voice actors were voice actors. As much as they are integral to the production process of an animation project, it was mostly their voice work that mattered for most of the audience that it would be shown into.

It was also important to note that although voice acting jobs are relatively much easier than the acting that most theatrics and film types do, their status and whatnot were a bit on the much weaker side.

This was a good thing for Creed Animations' sake as it is slated to technically churn many other animation projects that may need a ludicrous voice cast.

Of course, the long-running series type of shows that Alexander had in mind, would benefit from the low rates of voice actors as well.

That is to say that the situation might change for the worse or whatnot but the Creed little boss in him was prepared for such scenarios as well.

In case a voice actor's voice becomes too iconic and integral to an animation series, there is a likelihood that the voice actor's ego would swell and the pay would be insanely high.

Alexander's clear-cut solution was to cut that person off and replace him with someone with a similar voice.

For voice actors that are assigned to protagonists and extremely notable characters, it was best to have contingency replacement on standby.

Voice was just voice and not too unique for many things. Anyways, people with voice-changing skills did exist and Creed Animations would just hire and find them when necessary.

Alexander wasn't sure if his voice actor contingencies would play out but at least he was prepared for a great cause that would be advantageous for him in the long run.

Voice acting rates need to have a stable acceptable balance to it. Since Alexander was aiming to be an animation tycoon, he needed to control some factors that would be necessary for the continuation of things.

Alexander eventually did look on with the cast list and read on as he could.

Leonardo goes to an unknown guy, Rafael goes to another guy, Michelangelo and Donatello were snagged by someone desperate, strong-willed, and a versatile voiced guy... still an unknown person that didn't register much notoriety to Alexander's memories though.

Rat sensei and the rest of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle voice acting cast were on the same boat as well. Some goons and filler characters in the story would even utilize people from the production crew, so there weren't many noteworthy things for Alexander to linger his thoughts on.

He'll probably just label these names and people as Voice Actor 1 to Infinity. To make it seem like he cared even though he doesn't, he'll just add in TMNT Voice Actor No. ___ to separate things.

After all, he expects that there would be paid voice acting mobs at the Dragonball production as well.

Just doing a cursory glance at the Dragonball cast list, Alexander was more or less sure that they were unknowns that didn't change much of their proppy mob fate.

That is... until Alexander caught a glimpse of some peculiarities.

On the Chichi name, there was Milica Jovovich. No doubt, her nominal grandpa Sullivan had that position in reserve. At least, Milla's singing of the songs can be depicted by her Chichi character.

Of course, since there were traces of Milica in the cast list, there was her partner in crime... Old Sullivan Creed's name in Grandpa Gohan and Master Roshi.

Alexander had no idea what game this nominal grandpa-granddaughter duo was playing... but given their track record... he was fearful to glimpse at who was Goku now!

Anyways, before he could reach the monkey-esque protagonist's voice actor, he was kind of surprised to see a non-mob name in Bulma.

"Bulma being played by Courteney Cox... Interesting." Alexander hummed and leisurely drank water from one of his 'Sweet and Warm Human' birthday gift mugs.

It was a surprising thing but Alexander was just relieved for the most part to have his production have a future popular person be a part of it.

If it was any other Hollywood-disillusioned star chasers in Alexander's position, then they may have already spit-taked or did something that made a fool of themselves.

Oh my God! I can't believe I get to meet Monica from Friends before she could even be mega-famous? Since I am a mega-fan and have a mega-crush on her, I will use my future knowing advantage so that I can help her be better than what she used to be.

Hopefully, she would fall in love with me... or else... I'll be forced to do this...

Fortunately, Alexander didn't have any inkling of that and just looked at things from a business and neutral perspective.

He is co-working with the iconic Back to the Future semi-production team. He is working with the legendary Studio Ghibli director. He is even jogging most of the time with Alice from the Resident Evil franchise.

Having Courteney Cox work as a voice actress for Bulma is just another notable event among other notable events.

Since Courteney Cox is good enough for Seasoned Hayao's and the animation production team's opinion, then Alexander simply went with the flow.

As for how he would interact or correlate with the future famous Courteney Cox, it was just a matter of going with the flow or if he saw something from her that would give him substantial benefits.

Business-mode Alexander was rational and business through and through. He was heavily planning on how to put voice actors in their appropriate payment level, so how could he not be business-minded when dealing with a Courteney Cox

Anyways, he had Milla as his actress test dummy for the most part. Maybe Cox can also be another person he could test out his Chaos Butterfly influence at some point.

Anyways, Alexander quickly moved on from the Bulma name to the top of the list and sure enough... it was empty?

He had to walk up to Seasoned Hayao just to get a clarification on things. "By the way... we're already filled up on all the other voice cast but how come I haven't heard who is voicing Goku yet?"

"Has the voice actor auditions not started yet or is it hard to find somebody's voice that can fit the character well?" Alexander asked but he was already getting an ominous hunch on who it could be.

"Well... about that..." Seasoned Hayao and Mr. Translator could only be sheepish as Creed people knew of their old and little boss's quirks. "I don't know if Mr. Creed gas told you yet but..."

Alexander groaned. "It's me, isn't it?"

Seasoned Hayao could only nod and the voice actor list was filled with Son Goku being the person that Alexander didn't want: himself!
