Seiyu Breakthrough In Japan

May 28, 2010 - 3:41 am 7 Comments

Becoming a seiyu in Japan is just as prominent as becoming a Hollywood actor in the USA.  Seiyu are voice actors who usually make their way to fame through acting in Anime films and videogames, but also act in radio dramas, foreign film dubbing, puppet shows, and television narrations.  Seiyu are professionally trained voice actors, and becoming a successful seiyu is a very competitive task.

Seiyu

The seiyu industry is cutthroat and very difficult to make into.  Seiyu usually go through many years of training, or make their way up to being seiyu from other roles.  There are several different ways to become a seiyu, but even through the most extensive voice acting training, there is no guarantee for a breakthrough.

Seiyu

Many seiyu were trained by a privately funded drama group.  They would specialize in radio drama acting and foreign film dubbing.  Since television became popular, radio acting and announcing have become less desired seiyu jobs.  However, for many it is a good start.

Seiyu

A common way to become a seiyu is also from having acting experience.  It is common that young people who joined a theater company in high school, do acting in university or have attended a specialized school are scouted by people from the anime industry to become a seiyu.  If an aspiring voice actor is serious about becoming a seiyu, then he or she will attend a seiyu training school for several years after graduating from high school.  Attending a seiyu training school is the easiest path to becoming a trained seiyu, but with hundreds of aspiring seiyu enroll in a training school a year, the competition is very high to make it in the professional seiyu world.

Most seiyu begin working in their profession after at least graduating high school.  There have been few seiyu to appear with small anime rolls while still in middle school, but children seiyu are not at all common.  Japanese children are encouraged to study first, and then choose their professional career afterwards.  Children seiyu are also not needed because women most often play the role of a child in a film, videogame, or television show.  Good seiyu can play the role of any gender and any age.  The demand for highly versatile seiyu is another reason why the competition in the seiyu industry is so high.

Becoming a seiyu is not at all easy.  Seiyu must already have extensive training and experience before making their way to the big gigs.  Once a seiyu has made it into the industry, it is just as difficult to stay in.

Female Seiyuu in the Anime World

May 19, 2010 - 3:24 am No Comments

Seiyuu’s are always acknowledged and acclaimed for their contribution in the amine world of Japan. There have been the growth of many seiyuu’s in Japan and many of them have been able to get their name on the top list and have a bunch of fans following them. There have been many female voices which have been admired by the audiences. Some of them include; Koshimizu Ami, Tomatsu Haruka, Kugimiya Rie, Hirano Aya, etc.

Though there are followers of many of them, the best one among the lot, undoubtedly would be Koshimizu Ami. Born on February 15th 1986, she was raised up in Kokubunji, Tokyo Perfecture in Japan and is presently working with Production Baobab (Jun Fukuyama is also associated with the same). She was previously working for Gekidan Wakakusa. While her works there, she was backed by the senior member Mayumi to pursue a hard hitting and acknowledging career of a seiyuu. Initially hesitant but later confident, Koshimizu Ami, started her career by her debut in the TV amine Ahita no Nadja. Her personality is that of a happy go lucky person and she is always admired and liked by the fellow colleagues. She doesn’t hesitate to ask for advice when she cannot understand and relate to particular words because of her weakness in English and kanji.

She has a really tall stature compared to the Japanese women (5 feet 6 inches), and because of her height her school friends often though that she would come up in the career of modeling. However, that thought never materialized but she still works as leading and supporting roles in many of the commercials. Apart from that she has been co-hosting the Comchat Countdown radio series with Takahiro.

She has bagged the award of the best actress in a supporting role for the role of Kallen Stadtfeld in the Jun Fukuyama starrer Code Geass- Lelouch of Rebellion. In the year 2006 she had more than 10 TV amines in which she took part and some of them were for the leading roles as well.

Her career graph has notices a huge upscale ever since she has started as a seiyuu. From DVD’s to commercials to Game amines she has been there and done that all. She has always been liked for her bubbly nature and the ever helping hand that she offers in times of need to her friends and colleagues.
