Fans Say

Lindsay B. - Eric Stuart is truely a talented artist. He brings dedication to all of his projects, and it can be seen that he is a hard worker based on all of the projects that have his name on them. His voice talent is hard to surpass. There are few people who can pull off such different characters both personality-based and vocally like Brock and James, but Eric does so with grace. One of the reasons I love Pokemon is because of James, who has so many wonderful lines thanks to the talent of Eric. I can't hear anyone else voicing such a amusing line as, "I want a donut." ^_^

Samantha (Sui) - Eric Stuart has become a huge inspiration to me. I first became familiar with him through his work on Pokemon, and a few years ago, I discovered his site, and was introduced to his music. I've bought three of his albums, including his very hard to find first album 'Curiosity.' Whenever I'm down or unwell, his music always comforts me, unlike anything else. So does seeing him in his many roles, from Brock to James, Lucian to Gourry, and everyone in between. I've grown to be able to pick his voice out of a crowd, that's how much I admire him.

It broke my heart when I heard he might not remain Brock and James. Brock is by-far my favorite role of his (James being in a close second), as he really gave Brock three dimensions, not just the "skirt-chasing pervert" side of him. He even mentioned somewhere that Brock was a lot like him. To see these roles on the line really hurts. I can only imagine how he must feel about it. To simply throw this talent away is a foolish, terrible mistake.
