Chapter 318: Voice actor career

What is the most important thing for a voice actor? Before asking this question, it is necessary to clarify the meaning of voice actor, the explanation of "excellent" is actor, and "actress" refers to the actress and not the inappropriate identity of children that most men reflexively think of. Why is "You" an actress in the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is not a translation problem, and it is much simpler than imagined, the meaning of the word "You" comes from the ancient Chinese Chinese "Youling", which is the drama of singing, and has been used by the 11th district to this day.

A voice actor is, as the name suggests, a voice actor.

[Appearance], that is the most important thing for actors who are active on the screen, but voice actors belong to offstage work, and not so many viewers will deliberately remember the appearance of a certain voice actor. However, it doesn't mean that appearance is useless, and there will always be some viewers who pay for appearance when participating in special voice actor projects, animation promotion activities, etc. When necessary, appearance can also act as a gray means of superiority.

[Strength], the voice actor industry chain in District 11 is completed, and the skills of voice actors are a necessary prerequisite for any qualified voice actor, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the foundation, so it is not important to talk about it. has no strength, and doesn't even have the opportunity to enter the threshold of the voice actor industry.

[Featured voice],This is probably the closest answer.,Featured voice is a shortcut.,It can often make it easier for voice actors themselves to reach the top in the voice actor world.,But most voice actors themselves don't have this special condition.。

Yuko Higashiki's own answer is "Chance", graduating from a prestigious conservatory as a principal student, and then drifting into the so-called voice actor world, most of her life for a year has been like a flat boat on a turbulent wave. There is no sense of reality, hesitation and helplessness, and the identity of the so-called chief student of the conservatory is worthless in the voice actor world, starting from the voice acting of the animated passerby, the voice of the secondary supporting role, the voice of the galgame character, the host of the radio station, etc., and she has worked hard to practice the voice actor knowledge she has learned.

A few months after entering the voice actor world, she knew that [opportunity] was hard to come by, and the strength of being a voice actor was the most important means to seize [opportunity]. For a long time, she used this statement to comfort herself.

After surviving the instability of work, the embarrassment of insufficient living expenses, and the confusion about the future prospects, Yuko Higashiki finally seized the opportunity she had always dreamed of - the voice of Kyoko Sakura, one of the main players of the anime "Madoka Magica". Yuko Higashiki doesn't know much about the animation industry.,Except for work, I haven't taken the initiative to touch any anime.,Her opinion is the same as that of most ordinary people in District 11.,Animation is just something that children and otaku like.。

She doesn't dislike people who watch anime, but she hates the nits who pin their future on anime and escape from life.

When she first came into contact with "Madoka Magical Girl" from her agent, she thought it was an ordinary sub-oriented animation.,Because I didn't get a job during that time, I went to the audition meeting with the mentality of giving it a try.,Now I think about it, she's glad she didn't get a job at that time.,Otherwise, with her understanding of her character, she would definitely reduce the audition of this animation to the lowest priority.,Thus missing the opportunity to dub Kyoko Sakura.。

When she came to the audition meeting of "Madoka Magical Girl", she found that many of the voice actors who participated in the audition were well-known in the industry, and her identity as a new voice actor was not prominent in the audition. Yuko Higashiki felt a little surprised, according to her understanding, even a popular anime usually doesn't attract so many voice actors to audition, and this time it's just an audition for an anime character.

She conscientiously completed her audition, and it didn't take long for her to receive a formal notice of cooperation.

During this period, she finally figured out why so many well-known voice actors took the single-plank bridge to fight for this dubbing opportunity, "Madoka Magical Girl" almost reached the top of popularity at that time, and then the person who produced this animation was Yu Kamiya, one of the most well-known young animation directors in the industry, and the voice actors with a little professional sense of smell knew that this was an opportunity that could not be found.

The voice acting of the characters in "Madoka Magi" is not easy, mainly due to the emotional ups and downs of the characters and Yu Kamiya's strict requirements for voice acting. On the first day of dubbing, she encountered the most embarrassing situation in her voice acting career, because her dubbing session was stopped too many times, so in order not to hinder the progress of others' dubbing, she finally had to stay alone to complete the dubbing work.

That day was also the first time she came into contact with the chief director of this anime, Yu Kamiya, and when she saw Yu Kamiya come from the other side of the studio, she felt embarrassed for the first time when she wanted to get into the hole. What happened next is still incredible to her, it was the first time she received a solo voice instruction, and she was still an animation supervisor who wasn't a voice actor.

The dubbing advice put forward by Yu Kamiya is very practical, and Yuko Higashiki's voice is very suitable for Sakura Kyoko, and the voice actor himself has good basic skills, but he can't integrate well into the role of Sakura Kyoko, and he can't grasp the main point of the character's emotional changes. Yu Kamiya saw through this and guided her slightly, and in less than an hour she got used to the role of Kyoko Sakura. It was only when she got home that she had an incredible feeling in her heart, and the guidance provided by Yu Kamiya seemed to know her voice actor level better than herself, and she also clearly knew her fit with the character of Kyoko Sakura. She continued to practice according to the advice given by Yu Kamiya, until all the dubbing sessions of "Madoka Magical Girl" were completed, and that time was the period when she felt that the voice actor's level had improved the fastest, so she sincerely admired Yu Kamiya who gave her guidance.

Next, she consciously approached Yu Kamiya as a voice actress, and what she learned from Yu Kamiya changed her impression of anime. So far, her relationship with Yu Kamiya has remained below the level of friends and above colleagues, and she knows that she and Yu Kamiya are not in the same world.

After the end of "Madoka Magical Girl", her value as a voice actress skyrocketed, and when Kyoko Sakura's character died, her Twitter account for work rose by more than 100,000 followers in one day, and the company launched various cooperation projects one after another, and the launch marketing plan for her was carried out from morning to night.

Although her popularity has skyrocketed, her status in the voice actor industry has not improved. The voice actor industry in the 11th region is not ranked by strength and popularity, even the rating related to the income of voice actors is determined by seniority, and the longer you stay in the voice actor world, the higher the rating.

Yuko Higashiki's skyrocketing value refers to the commercial cooperation and other voice actor jobs brought about by her popularity, compared to the hard position of the original artist in District 11 that has not changed, the voice actor work is now more diversified, and it is easier to get a job.
