Hiccups voice is really annoying


I enjoyed the movie but I really wish they got a different guy to voice the main character. I found the actor annoying in other movies he's in as well. Maybe its just me.

I liked him in Undeclared. I don't think I've seen him in anything else. I thought his voice worked well for the dragon series. In the first, he sounds young and a little nerdy, which the character was. In the second, well he's still nerdy...so....

But, you aren't the first person who didn't like his voice. I guess he doesn't appeal to everyone.

I LOVE his voice!!!

I like Jay Baruchel in general, but for some reason I did find his voice really distracting in this movie.

That's a matter of opinion, I find Hiccup's voice infinitely charming and adorable.

I love Jay's voice.

I like how he sounds nerdy, geeky, and awkward, all just naturally. Ive only seen a few things that he's been in besides HTTYD but I loved him even in his live action roles.

Don't feel bad, he obviously is annoyed with his voice as well. Remember his reaction to Astrid when he was mimicking his fathers voice and she his? He said, I don't sound like that, obviously hoping he didn't.

It's weird, I've never been bothered by Jay's voice before, but during this movie it was like a drill caving directly into my brain. I couldn't stand it.

"Well...I've seen enough. Come on Charlie, we're going home."

And yet no one in this thread find it odd to hear vikings speaking with scotish accents and Astrid sounding very american.

Maybe not this thread, but that is often a topic of conversation. 😀

I was fine with it in the original, because he was still a kid then, but in the sequel he's supposed to be around 20 AND HE STILL HAS THAT VOICE! Very distracting.

reply

god. I know I am not the only one thinking this. His voice is like nails raking across a chalkboard. I cringed every time when he opened his mouth. I really want to love this movie.

reply

yeah his voice was really weird at times.
