Online Workshop: Voice Acting for Japanese Anime

THIS PROGRAM WILL BE HELD ONLINE, ADMISSION IS FREE,
REGISTRATION REQUIRED (CLICK HERE)

Our popular program is coming back! Join us in voicing your favorite anime in Japanese! Natsu Shinomiya, a professional voice actor from Japan, will be challenging us to voice popular Japanese anime such as “My Neighbor Totoro.”

We’ll learn how professional voice actors in Japan train and learn about the process of becoming one with stories from Natsu’s personal journey. She’ll also introduce her common vocal warmups, as well as tips and tricks used in the industry before we tackle the ultimate challenge: voicing short scenes together!

Learn in a fun and casual setting with Bill-sensei, from the Japan Visualmedia Translation Academy (JVTA), who will be moderating. This workshop is designed for beginners of Japanese, but all experience levels (including none) are welcome. This virtual event is open to everyone 18 years and older, on a first-come, first-serve basis, until we reach capacity.

*This workshop is NOT for Japanese native speakers.
