Changes: Behind the Voice Actors

Revision as of 16:38, 25 September 2018

In the world of anime, the voice actor is critical in turning a two-dimensional image into a living, breathing character using only their skills as an actor and the flexibility of their voice. Used naturally or manipulated into upper or lower registers and with a range of sound effects, the voice actor "creates" a personality. In native Japanese animation, a story's drawings may be done either preceding or following the recording of dialogue, but the translation dubbing actor must work within the confines of pre-existing "lip flaps" to make their translated words look and sound as natural as possible in the mouth of a non-English speaking character. No small task! But Ouran's voice cast, in both Japanese and Engish versions, are (as Tamaki might say)...the best!
