But I'll always cringe when they try to do the kawaii types. Thinking about Collette in tales of Symphonia especially (right at the tail end of the dark ages).
Now you have pretty good work - just finished XBC3 and the dubbing for all the main crew is great. There's still a bit of cringe (Colony Mu with the kids) but localization has definitely come a long way.

I have a heretical reverse issue: I find a lot of original Japanese voices to be excessively "NYAAAAAAAAAAH" annoying-squeaky in a way that makes me uncomfortable, especially if they're fanservice dispensers.
Dub voice acting has come a long way.
