I'm sorry, but that's really your own opinion that Yuri voiced Ben poorly. Lots of people praise Yuri's performance and feel he's an exceptional VA.

If the writers really thought Yuri wasn't right for Ben, then they wouldn't have cast him to begin with. He was what they were looking for.

I won't comment on Ashley since she gets a lot of hate around here.

My point is VAs don't choose to deliver a role badly or not. It's up to the creators to determine whether a VA is suitable. If not the VA gets turned down and they keep looking. Most VAs have one or two main voices in their resume, and it's up to the shows to pick. Tara Strong with a hundred or so voices are quite rare. In fact I remember Yuri stating he does his "Ben" voice in every show. The VAs will advertise what they have to offer, and it's up to the show to pick the right one.
