You know, I just watched the inferior English dub of Psycomedian and got reminded of why it always annoyed the hell out of me whenever I watch English dubs... Miraculous or not.
The English dub sounds like the voice actors are recording episodes on their own rather than performing together. In other words, it's painstakingly obvious to me that there is no interaction between the voice actors, which hurts the overall performance of the characters, and in turn my enjoyment of English dub. Like where is the flow?!
Idk how the dubbing industry in France is like, but I believe that they make use of Group Voice Acting. I can hear that the voice actors are performing together, that they are having conversations (and having fun) with each other rather than just reading from their scripts. They are able to work off each other while recording in a group, and it's also why the French dub sounds so much more natural to me.
It's the reason why tons of people who watch the French dub of Miraculous can unanimously say that Ladybug is clownbug and Chat Noir is simpnoir, that ladynoir is super flirty whenever they are on screen (I cried when I hear how ladynoir interacted in the English dub of Gabriel Agreste, where is the flirtiness that is present in the French dub!!! 😩and more recently in Psycomedian when Ladybug summoned her 1st lucky charm, the playfulness between them is completely gone 😩), that Ladybug isn't actually annoyed with Chat Noir (I am looking at you Prime Queen and Kuro Neko.) but it's just him saying and doing his flirting at the wrong time, and that she will actually play along and be flirty with him as well when the time is right, that you can hear how much they care and love each other (the whole lovesquare mind you), and on and on the list goes.
Obviously you can prefer the English dub over the French do I really need to say this? But this is just my two cents on the topic which I think hasn't been touched upon by anyone, and would encourage anyone who wants to have the full Miraculous experience to watch it in the (what I consider original) French dub, and if not for the above mentioned reason, do it for the other reasons many have been sharing.
