This will be some thoughts of mine based in the English dub. Don't read if you don't want spoilers.
Then again, this is mainly on the voices, so not much to spoil :3

I'm usually a big fan of the English dubs for black butler, though the ones for my most looked forward to arc seems bit of a let down?
Ciel and Sebastian sound fine , it's only they they get to the witches village that things seem ...off, Sebastian speaks German then has a German accent speaking English (I'm assuming thats showing hes speaking German without acctually speaking German, which other German-Speaking characters do) which makes it hard to understand him most of the time (that might just be a me thing tho) I think Wolfram's English VA (Conner Allison) sounds good but I'm not really a fan of Sieglinde's English VA (Sarah Wiedenheft) regrettably, it's very whispery, kinda forced in a way?
I initially thought it sounded like those Ai generated voices when I was listening to it {maybe it has some kind of auto tune over it??} the German she speaks is slightly clearer than the English but not by much, Snake's Va sounds totally different from the previous seasons he was in- the acctual him not the snakes, I'm not a fan of it tbh.
I'll likely watch the season in Japanese Dub bc it sounds much better in my opinion ^^'

UPDATE:
I think Sieglinde's VA is growing on me.

I have yet to watch the new season, but in the manga (I’m past the witch arc no worries xD) it would show a different font for when a character speaks in another language.
It might be the case for the English dub as well with what you said about Sebastian having a German like accent halfway through.
As for snake, I’m curious to hear him. I don’t if he spoke German during that arc. But I know Sebastian did speak German.
Snake doesn't speak German, he just sounds very different compared to the circus arc xD
Also yes Sebastian and his German accent, he says Ja (Yes) a lot it's quite amusing

Different VAs?? :o
That is very weird ngl. (At least I find it weird when they don’t really announce the change of VAs, but it’s understandable at the same time)
That is funny omg. As someone who really loves the witch arc, I can’t wait to watch it animated xD

that's true so maybe it's snakes same va just a different tone? hm how curious, also yes I adore Sieglinde so I can't wait for next Saturdays episode xD
I was wondering this too, i have been waiting for weeks now for eng dub to get out. I saw something that it would be the same VA For the characters

I looked it up and one part said Snakes va did change and another doesn't so I am quite confused xD

As long as its not a HUGE change in Voice actors it should be ok.

Unfortunately, (at least in my opinion), Snake sounds extremely feminine now. You can tell his voice actor is now a woman... I am pretty disappointed because I enjoyed his deep, mysterious, tone...But obviously everyone has a difference of opinion; maybe many others think it suits Snake!
