Is it possible to become a seiyuu in Japan? Pray for the great gods.
In Japan, people who want to become seiyuu must pass the examination of seiyuu training institution (* 1 1) in advance, and join the recruitment of new people in seiyuu firm after certain training. If they are lucky, they will become the seiyuu officially registered by seiyuu firm. It is impossible for amateurs or anime lovers to become seiyuu overnight. In fact, it has been nearly 20 years since Japanese young people filled in "My wish is to be a voice actor". The famous senior seiyuu in the past or now are all actors from the troupe who dub across the line, so their acting skills are honed before engaging in animation dubbing. At present, most seiyuu are engaged in seiyuu work from the beginning. In order to improve the sales performance of their works, sponsors prefer seiyuu with cute looks, so the appearance of acting skills may not be the most important situation for those who want to become seiyuu now. Nevertheless, if you want seiyuu to become a lifelong career and a truly admirable seiyuu, you still have to work hard on your acting skills. Summarizing the development history of seiyuu in the past half century, there are three main ways to become seiyuu: the first way, through formal teaching (high school, university), after honing skills in a troupe or film and television group, it is finally excavated to become seiyuu. For example, Romi Park (Edward's The Steels, Tao Ren's The Soul King) was excavated by Yosiyuki Tomino, the father of Gundam, and Toshihiko Seki (Travel Notes of Sanzang) debuted earlier, but this is also the main way to cultivate seiyuu old troupes, such as Shiratori Tetsu (an alchemist of steel, Gundam seed, etc. ) and Nabatame Hitomi (a rising star) In the 1990s, this kind of seiyuu became younger. A group of middle school students (equivalent to junior high schools in China) and primary school students began to appear with excellent voice, which is called childlike innocence. Generally speaking, they engage in dubbing while receiving education, and then directly become first-line seiyuu. For example, Makino Yui debuted in the last song of Creation, and it is hard to imagine Woody Sakura 18 years old picking up idols. In April, she also performed well (Zag School). Another person who has to be mentioned is Toshiichi Miyamoto. He started learning music at the age of four and knows many musical instruments. Her performance in "D.N.Angel" is obvious to all, and "White Night" is even more amazing. He also performed in the new films "Gundam Seed" and "Fafnir in the Sky" released last year 10. Some famous seiyuu can also be classified as child stars, such as (Dancer, Memory Pass No.2,) and (Gunji, harriet, Memory of Autumn, and Xiang Wang Mo, as big as me = =! ) is the best example. The main characteristics of the first seiyuu are solid industry background, perfect professional knowledge, and natural debut, which basically belongs to the transformation from powerful seiyuu or powerful school (including music department) to idol, and belongs to the main force of Japanese seiyuu. Second, it was trained by a specialized seiyuu school (equivalent to a junior college in China) and finally became seiyuu. This kind of seiyuu is also the fiercest competition and the highest elimination rate in Japanese seiyuu selection, but it is also the only way for ordinary people to realize their dream of seiyuu. Many young people who are interested in becoming seiyuu take this road. In order to prevent confusion with the first seiyuu, there are two points to be clarified: First, seiyuu schools are different from art schools. In Japan, the Academy of Performing Arts. Second, the rise of seiyuu schools is only in recent years. In fact, in the ambition of primary and secondary schools, I want to be a voice actor. It didn't come into being until the younger generation. Early seiyuu firms were not satisfied, let alone seiyuu schools. However, with the development of animation, especially related game industry, Internet and its surroundings in recent years, more and more people are determined to become seiyuu. Seiyuu School also provides opportunities for these young people who are eager to work for Seiyuu, and it also holds up half the sky for the rapidly expanding game animation industry. After all, it is impossible for an animation to use only five or six seiyuu (like Eva, Miyamura and Linyuan NPC = =), and most NPC roles are played by these young people. In addition, most of the unknown Galgame are also taken by newcomers. Unfortunately, after all, they took the road of crash, and few people finally became famous. There are hundreds of students in the seiyuu department of the famous Yoyogi Animation Institute every year, but there are only a handful of seiyuu who can work in the front line after graduation. Among popular seiyuu, the most successful seiyuu is Mizuki Nana (Naiye, Siska). Indeed, the strength of Shui Shu can't be underestimated. I have liked her since Shirakawa Hotaru, but I think it's hard to say if she doesn't meet the bright future of recalling off 2. However, people like Huayin, torii, Riyue Luo Yu were replaced by big-name Sakura Nogawa and Yui Horie everywhere after the competition became famous. Most of these seiyuu live in the middle and lower classes in Japan. They can only fight for their own ideals and silently contribute to our beloved ACG cause. The third kind, extremely rare, changed from completely irrelevant works to seiyuu. For example, Yuki Matsuoka (Wang Chun Ribu, the king of cartoons in A Zi) and Inoue Weaving in Death) and Junko Iwao (KINOMOTO SAKURA, a magic card girl, and Tomoe Yukishiro's Memories of Rogue Sword) were all members of the idol group "Saint IV" and were changed by singers. Actually, this category also belongs to the ideal category of seiyuu. As for whether life has improved after changing careers, it is estimated that it is secondary.
