Earl Palma
Description
Earl Palma is a Filipino voice actor known for his work on the English-language versions of various anime series, with his most recognized roles being in the long-running franchise Voltes V. His career includes voice work for both television series and film productions, particularly during the era when Philippine television networks produced English dubs of popular Japanese anime.
Palma is prominently associated with the anime series Voltes V, a super robot series that gained immense popularity in the Philippines. In the original English-language dub of the television series produced by GMA Network, Palma provided the voice for the main protagonist, Steve Armstrong (the Filipino name for the character Kenichi Go). His portrayal of Steve Armstrong occurred in the later episodes of the original series run, specifically taking over the role from the initial voice actor, Tony Nierras. In addition to the lead role, Palma also voiced two significant antagonist characters in the same series: Commander Garth and Draco.
Years after the initial television broadcast, the unfinished final episodes of the series were completed and compiled into a theatrical film titled Voltes V: The Liberation. For this project, Palma reprised his roles as both the hero Steve Armstrong and the villain Draco, demonstrating his lasting connection to the franchise. His involvement with the project extended beyond voice acting, as he also served as an executive producer on the film.
Beyond his iconic work in the Voltes V franchise, Earl Palma has a broader career in anime dubbing. His other voice acting credits in English-dubbed anime include roles in series such as Corrector Yui, the Animax dub of Fairy Tail, and Great Dangaioh. He also contributed his voice to the Tagalog-language version of Cyborg 009, playing the character Albert Heinrich, also known as Cyborg 004.
In addition to his on-microphone work, Palma has also contributed to the anime industry in creative and directorial capacities. He has worked as an ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) director and ADR script writer for several English-dubbed productions. His staff credits include directing and scripting for the television series Corrector Yui and Great Dangaioh, as well as directing the English ADR for the live-action films Gantz and Gantz II: Perfect Answer. He also served as a voice director for the English version of the animated series FloopaLoo, Where Are You?.
