Luffy's voice does sound like that. Whoever's doing the voice is going to ruin her vocal cords.
I accidentally caught a few minutes of the dub this week while flipping channels and they were on the Arabasta filler arc with the town. Ace's voice wasn't too bad, aside from the fact that he was speaking clearly when he had his mouth full. *whack*
Zoro's dub voice isn't bad, either, but, like you said, he doesn't sound right. I think it's because he sounds rather calm, even when he's supposed to be surprised or angry. He's not emotionless, but he doesn't quite capture the emotions the way Zoro's original voice does.
I can't stand dub Sanji's voice. I changed the channel as soon as I heard him speak. Hell, I can't even read fanfiction where the authors have obviously only seen the dub. There was one pretty decent one on ffn that I had to backspace on because she was good enough to actually capture the dub Sanji's speech patterns and I couldn't stand the fact that I could hear the voice in my head. I left a review recommending the subs to her.
