Ugh, I feel like I'm going to be eaten alive for saying this, but please read to the end before attacking me. I felt as if the voices still needed a little bit of work. Yang, Roman, and Professor Ozpin were all good. Ozzy's voice is currently my favorite, along with his character. However it was Glinda's and Ruby's voices that made me cringe slightly. Glinda just sounded out of place, her voice (in my humble opinion) didn't seem to match the mood or the tone of the conversation. As for Ruby, it almost sounded like she was three different people. I know that she was in a lot of different situations,  sometimes she sounded natural (really good!), but sometimes you could tell that an adult was voicing her. Other times (mostly when she was acting goofy) she sounded like someone else entirely.

Now here's where I *attempt* to redeem myself. Comparing the trailers to the first episode, I see an AMAZING improvement in the voice acting. If the VAs continue to improve as much as they did between the trailers and ep.1 (and I trust in them that they will) then I'm sure that will be amazing as their respective characters very, very soon.

So long story short, they need a bit more practice, but are improving greatly.
