Trivia
- Before she had anything to do with Dragon Ball, Nadolny was the singing voice for Helen Henney of the Chuck E. Cheese restaurant chain. She also was the singer for the opening theme for the Funimation produced show, Cyboars. Because she was already working on the properties of Funimation, she was asked to audition for Dragon Ball Z.
- Some of the other Dragon Ball Z characters Nadolny auditioned for were Chi-Chi, Bulma, Chiaotzu, Android 18, Videl, and Goten.
- Nadolny won the role of Goku in Dragon Ball through a voice-over vote that was held on the official Dragon Ball website to decide the voice cast. Both Nadolny (who had previously played the part in flashbacks in some episodes of Dragon Ball Z) and Ceyli Delgadillo (who had previously voiced Goku in the second and third Dragon Ball movies) were up for the part. Nadolny received the most votes, and thus, she was cast as Goku in Dragon Ball.
- Nadolny was originally selected to be the singer for the English ending theme song of Dragon Ball, however, the Japanese producers spoke out about it, feeling that it would not be appropriate for the voice of Goku to sing the ending theme. Daphne Gere was then selected to sing it.
- Nadolny has often said that Kid Goku is her favorite of her roles.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
