Anime convention
POPULARITY
Animethon is a Japanese Animation (“anime”) themed festival held annually in the city of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. They have expanded their focus beyond screening anime and now also include voice actor guests from North America, musical acts from North America and Japan, improvisation groups, as well as various related activities such as gaming, costume contests, […]
This episode is all about Animethon, Canada's oldest anime convention, despite denying being an anime convention for a significant portion of that time. Eryn Cerise, Ian Horner and Brendan "Beej" Dery help paint a picture of how what started as a membership booster for an Edmonton anime club grew into one of the epicentres of anime fandom in Western Canada - not to mention the increasingly crowded anime improv scene.

This week Sam and Dan head over to Animethon 25 to check things out.
One man. Many voices. Bryce Papenbrook is a martial arts warrior who morphed into the man of many voices for hit TV series and video games including Call of Duty, Attack on Titan and Sword Art Online. Marvin and Fred caught up with Bryce after an autograph session at Animethon in Edmonton, Canada. At this annual conference, anime fans (10,000 on this day) get to meet the people who voice their favorite anime films, TV series and games. The same skills of discipline, practice and repetition that fuelled Bryce's martial arts career come into good use in the sound booth. Knowing how to deliver (and take!) a punch helps Bryce provide realistic vocal and physical reactions that bring authenticity to fight scenes. His stamina and energy allow Bryce to move easily from one booth and story to another in what can sometimes turn into an eight-hour day voicing eight or more characters. Bryce shares his approach to finding and staying in character in the booth, as well as staying collaborative during the audition sessions. Yup, even the best talents have to audition for each opportunity. Where the mental and physical aspects of competition and character meet … you’ll find Bryce Papenbrook. Or, at the very least, hear him!

Can you get hired to do professional work while you are still in university? Caitlin Glass did! On a tour of a large voice recording company, she stepped into a booth, read a line of dialogue for a producer and embarked on a dream career as a voice artist in anime and video games. In addition to voicing lead or large roles in anime classics such as the Fullmetal Alchemist series, Caitlin can be heard as various characters in video games such as Street Fighter V, Battleborn, Dragon Ball and Pokemon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction. She has sharpened her related skills in writing dialogue and directing ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement). ADR takes place after the original recording of voices to assist in matching the English dialogue with the mouth movements of animated characters. In this interview from Animethon in Edmonton, Canada, Caitlin reminds us that there is often no such thing as a “typical day” in the voice and animation business. And that a positive attitude among co-workers and quality of relationships go a long way to making any studio a fun place to work. While most people have voices and use them on a daily basis, voice artists are so-called because of their training in acting as well as advanced vocal skills. Most major markets have voice coaches available to help you train for this special skill set. A familiarity with animated productions and video games would be a big help in identifying the quality and quantity of opportunities for work in this area. Caitlin’s career is a great example of Monetizing Her Creativity. A comprehensive list of her credits can be seen at: www.imdb.com/name/nm1708798/ By the way, our earlier interview with Deb Munro (episode 009), an accomplished voice artist and coach, can provide you with more detail on how to get started in this line of work. We'll also hear more from Deb in future episodes.
