Michael Tatum He has played Giriku from soul eater and France from Hetalia and also played Sebastian from black butler these are just a few of many roles he has played .http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/J-Michael-Tatum/ Here he is talking like sebastian. Voice Of The Week 4![]() Eric Vale the voice of America and Canada in Hetalia the show about countries as they live as people. He also plays the role of Justin Law an executioner in the series soul eater His real name is Eric Johnson but used "Eric Vale" as a Stage Name, since an unrelated VA had the same name in the Texan VA (voice acting) union. http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/Eric-Vale/ emailsRight now I haven't gotten any more emails back and there aren't really any more actors that I can find so I will look for some more and now I am going to start talking to the local actors in my town.
Finally I have gotten feedback from a few actors such as Chuck Huber who says, " To be a voice actor you have to want to be an actor first. Voice acting actually doesn't pay enough to live on." and that you have to "audition your butt off". Vic Mingnogna says that he always tries to be in as much things as possible like for exsample school plays, local theater, drama camps...ext. "It's about creating a believable and strong character. It's about acting a role through a roller coaster of emotions." Vic says and that there are some classes you can take to help you out like acting, theater, voice, and diction. Another thing that caught my eye was that to do this as a job you have to live in one of the big cities like NYC, LA, and Dallas Texas. This has all been really halpful and I am hoping on getting more replies. VOICE OF THE WEEK 3![]() Vic Mingnongna is the next voice of the week staring as some of the lead roles in the anime's Full Metal Alchemist as Edward Elric and The Oran High School Host Club as Tamaki Souh. VIc was a former teacher, police officer, and chauffeur. His favorite role played was Edward Elric and Broly and he was in both fullmetal alchemist tv series. http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/Vic-Mignogna/ Here is an interview with Vic and he talks about what it felt like at one of his auditions and how he was still nervous. LettersRight now I am in the process of writing the letter for Chuck Huber who also is this weeks voice of the week. I am trying to find more back round knowledge in him to think of better questions to ask hoping that it will seem more formal and less childish. I also am having my mom proof read them to make sure they sound right and have proper grammar. Right now I am also working on the letter for one of the more on set actors Benidict Cumberbatch who played the voice of Smaug in the Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug and Sherlock Holmes on BBC's Sherlock. I am planning on sending out these letters this weekend and then Writing the rest for Vic Monangoa , David Gallager, and James Arnold Taylor (last weeks voice). Next StepI have decided that not only should I send letters also because I might not even get a reply from the actors that I will also interview some of the local actors in our town and get some tips on how to change my voice to get to the right type of sound I will need for certain characters. I will also interview children actors to get more of a feel for kids in my age group. VOICE OF THE WEEK 2![]() This weeks voice is named Chuck Huber he has voiced many of my favorite TV show characters. One of my favorite roles that he plays is Dr. Franken Stein in the anime Soul Eater. In this show he has to go crazy and the way he changes his voice to sound insane could drive you crazy. Chuck Huber was also born in the amazing state of Illinois and was born in Chicago on May 8,1971.In December of 2010 Chuck suffered a heart attack, but had no health insurance so he was helped by the support of friends and family and of course all of his beloved fans. Here is a video of him talking in a few of his characters different voices and talking somewhat of how he works and just some humor. For a list of characters that he played click on the link http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/Chuck-Huber/
LettersI am going to email the voice actors/actors instead of sending the letters because that will take to long.
This is a new thing I will be starting and and what I will be doing is posting a picture of a famous or not so famous voice actor and put a list of things they have played and what characters they have been.JAMES ARNOLD TAYLOR![]() James Arnold Taylor is the first voice of the week, but only because he deserves it. James has voiced a lot of characters you probably know already to games and cartoon and even animated movies. He is more comenly know right now as the voice of almost every character on the cartoon Johnny Test on cartoon network, but he is also very well know from many others in the past. He was born in Santa Barbara, California, United States and was born Jul 22, 1969. This is James Arnold Taylor being very funny and amazing showing how to change your voices. I suggest you watch this its extremely funny. XD
Sending LettersWhat I am working on now is I am going to send letters to famous actors/ voice actors asking them some advice hoping to get a letter in return that might be of some help to me and my project. This is going to take a lot of searching to make sure I have the right address.
I am planning on sending letters to Chuck Huber the voice of Dr. Stein in soul eater and Austria in Hetalia...ext, Vic Mignogna who is the voice of Edward Elric in Full Metal Alchemist and Spirit in Soul Eater...ext., and David Gallagher who is the voice of Riku in Kingdom Hearts.These three people have had lots of experiences in voice acting because they have played a lot of different roles and have to talk differently or with different accents or even like a child. They have even been in video games like Chuck Huber was a voice in The Walking Dead video game and like I said before David Gallagher was the voice of Riku in the game Kingdom Hearts.So there range of experiences have a wide range including video games cartoons and animes. This is just a few I am planning on sending letters to they are all voice actors and the next set of letters I am planning in sending will be to real actors. After I send the letters to those actors I will also send a letter to a few cartoon producers such as Funamation Entertainment who produce the animes I like to watch and some other ones as well. When and if I get reply's from any of these people or places I will post a picture of the letter and retype what they said in case its hard to read. They will hopefully reply with useful information and not a thanks for being my fan letter. What they say will hopefully give me a good idea on what to exspect and how it is being a voice actor and possibly how they became a voice actor. People always have told me to follow my dreams, but when I say I am going to be a voice actor they say its not possible, but I am here to prove them wrong. ![]() Could you imagine being the voice of your favorite character in an anime or cartoon or even movie you watch? Well this has been my life long goal in this picture are some of my favorite characters including Roxas, Xion, and Axel from kingdomhearts or sonic the hedge hog or even Rigby from regular show. There is always a way to find what your looking for so what i am going to blog about is my journey on how to get started and were to start if i want to be the voice of an awesome character. I do have some inspirations that have led me on my path and the journey I am about to take. I will be sending letters to famous people hoping that they will return my letters with advice.
