Spongebob's voice in season 4?

[Spider-man]

I noticed that there was a slight difference in voice for Spongebob in season 4. While S 1-3 it wasn't that high, in S 5-9 it seems a bit more high pitched, S 4 sounds a little... different. I'm not sure what it is. Watch this episode if you're wondering what I mean:

It sounds like SpongeBob if he was a mix of Pre and Post-Movie.

That's actually what I was thinking.

I don't see (hear?) a drastic change. Yeah, it's higher pitched but his voice is pretty much still the same.

 

[MasiHosseini]

Old news, but his voice is kinda lower in recent episodes.

 

[DadMom AngryPants]

Even though it's really high, I'm OK with SpongeBob's voice in this season. I actually prefer it to recent seasons. It's hard to describe, but even though it was higher his accent/pronunciation/whatever still sounded more natural than later years.

Yeah, I noticed that change, it started (I think) in the first movie, but in SooW I noticed it went slightly deeper again. In fact I really don't know, meh.

The annoyingly high voice started in the first movie, which is generally regarded as being very good.

But no one cared because people were more concerned with how funny/touching/awesome the first movie was. With a ton of really bad episodes and lots of character desecration, Spongebob's annoyingly high voice in season 4 just comes across as another symptom of the show losing its luster.

For some reason, SpongeBob starting putting emphasis on letters in words in a few of the newer seasons

Ever think about the possibility that maybe something changed with regards with the recording equipment or headphones they were using? I think it could have been a combination of technical issues, different voice direction with Paul Tibbitt himself doing it for a while, and Tom trying to do different things with the voice.

i don't really care about sb's voice, i just love that cartoon show :)

Mainly in season 8 and 9, the characters talk so slow in those seasons.

i didnt care about the voice until season 5-6, then it was just too exagerated.

 

[catyams]

i think i'm the only one that noticed but spongebob sounds way different in big pink loser.

The only time I ever really noticed SpongeBob's voice being different was the movie game for PC. In that game, they reused a few lines from Employee of the Month, but most of them were original and when you did here an Employee of the Month line it sounded off in comparison.
