AISubs v3.8.2
I like Tomokazu! I love him! Justice will never be defeated!
This special lesson is by that legendary voice actor.
You will learn everything from rules of the industry to over-the-top techniques.
Hinatazaka Anime Club!
Now, it's started! Hinatazaka Anime Club!
Let's learn a lot about anime today!
I heard there is a gathering of librarians today.
I heard that Professor Tacoret brought a teacher for studying anime today.
He hasn't come yet.
Hello! How is everyone?
I'm Professor Tacoret!
Can you speak?
Of course!
I studied so hard that I can speak now!
Thank you!
Isn't it amazing?
It's amazing!
Haven't you heard of this boy's voice?
I've heard of it.
Have you heard of it?
Yes, I have.
You've heard of it, haven't you?
It's someone I respect a lot.
But it seems like you don't know who it is, so I'll reveal it for you.
Really?
Professor Tacoret's voice was…
Yagami Yagami!
I'm voice actor Tomokazu Seki!
Nice to meet you!
For more than 30 years,
he has played many popular characters,
but this time he is going to learn from legendary voice actor Tomokazu Seki.
Professor Tacoret, what are you going to do with Seki-san today?
Oh!
Today I'm going to pick up Seki-san and learn how to be a voice actor!
Wow!
I'm so happy!
Thank you for joining us today, Seki.
Thank you for having me.
I'm going to promote voice actors in this show.
I'm so happy! Thank you so much!
Thank you for having me.
Without further ado, let's take a look at the characters Seki has played in anime so far.
Here they are!
Wow!
There are so many!
Wow!
Do you know any of them?
Of course!
"Whisper" in "Yo-kai Watch" is...
I played games and watched anime when I was in elementary school.
Oh, really?
I'm sure you know this one!
"Shirimushi"!
Wow!
I'm so happy!
I knew it!
I'm so happy!
What do you think of it?
There are so many!
"Domon Kashu"...
Do you know "Domon Kashu"?
What kind of character is it?
It's a Gundam series from about 30 years ago.
There is a series called "Mobile Suit Gundam G Gundam".
I played it when I just debuted.
I played it when I was about 20 years old.
That character uses a special move.
Yes.
Let's hear the voice of that special move.
Okay!
My hands are burning red!
I shout and scream to defeat you!
Explosion!
The voice of the popular characters that come out one after another, and the excitement of the three of them!
The video is in my head!
Did you like it?
I loved it!
That's great!
What is the schedule of such a legendary voice actor, Mr. Seki's day?
I prepared a relatively busy day for you, so please take a look!
Here it is!
Ta-dah!
Wow!
It's one!
It's like this when I'm at my best.
Well, I wake up at about 7 in the morning and go out of the house at 9.
I move about an hour.
First of all, anime overclocking from 10 o'clock!
Yes!
I finish shooting the anime in about two hours.
Even if it's late, I finish it at about 13 or 1 in the afternoon.
I see.
Then I eat and move.
On this day, I record the game.
I record the voice of the game you play.
After that, I take a break and move.
I also work as a teacher at my agency's company called Atomic Monkey.
I also have a studio in my agency.
I record the audition tape from 19 o'clock.
I record the voice of the anime audition.
Can a legendary person audition?
That's right.
I'm a legend, but I'm allowed to audition.
I'm kidding.
I'm not a legend at all.
Basically, everyone auditions.
That's right.
By the way, what do you do for voice actors' auditions?
For ordinary anime, first of all, I consult with the manager at the office and get the tape.
"Would this kind of role fit me?", "Would this kind of voice fit me for the role?"
I consult about it and record it in the studio at the office.
I send it to the leader and some of them choose me.
If I'm asked "Seki-san, I'm a little curious about you", I'm called to the studio and perform it in front of the director.
In the end, the person who fits the best image of me will be casted for the role.
What made you the happiest when you decided on the character you're playing now?
Let me see...
Maybe I was happy to join Doraemon's members.
Like you, I grew up watching Doraemon since I was little.
That made me happy.
"I can go on an adventure with Doraemon."
Wow, thank you so much.
I auditioned and did some interviews.
After that, I usually do live broadcasts like radio or web programs.
Then I go home and check the script for the next day.
That's how I usually do it.
Wow, thank you so much.
Next, I'd like you to tell me about the rules of the voice acting industry.
There are various rules, but there are three rules that I think of.
First of all, you shouldn't wear clothes that make sounds.
Oh, clothes that make sounds...
Oh, sounds...
That's right. Since you're fashionable, you wear various clothes and accessories.
As a voice actress, you record sounds, don't you?
Yes.
You have to record only lines in silence.
So, when you walk, you say "shaka-shaka" when you wear clothes.
Yes.
And you say "chara-chara" when you bump into earrings and necklaces.
Even sounds you don't notice usually stand out in silence.
For example, you say "take off your jacket" or "take off your pants".
If you take off your pants more and more, you'll look like a pervert.
No, you won't.
You won't, but you'll look like a man in underwear.
You have to be careful.
Let's move on to the second one.
The second one is "be careful of the timing of eating".
Timing of eating...
This is also unique to voice actresses.
Did you eat before recording?
Yes, we did.
Did you eat?
That's dangerous!
That's dangerous.
What happens when you eat?
Digestion.
When you digest food, your stomach moves and you hear sounds like "guru-guru".
You hear weird sounds like "did anyone eat?" or "is anyone hungry?" and you want to eat again.
When you digest food, you go out just before your stomach moves and go to work.
By the way, there is a way to prevent your stomach from moving.
Actually, there is a pot.
A pot?
Yes, a pot that prevents your stomach from moving.
Thank you.
The top of your knee.
Do you feel anything here?
If you press it with your fingers like this, it will be hard for you to do it.
Cleon Shin-chan's father, Morikawa Toshiyuki, who is a voice actor, said that he is good at it.
If you are embarrassed now, please try to do it gently with your knees.
Yes, I will do it. Thank you very much.
There is still one last rule.
Be careful of white shoes depending on your height.
When you do the dubbing, there is a microphone in front of you.
But you can't use one microphone per person.
There are about three to four microphones in one studio.
Ten to twenty voice actors use it together.
Each voice actor has their own personality, so some people are tall and some people are short.
If you match it with someone, it will be difficult.
It's kind of in the middle.
If you are tall, you have to bend down a little.
If you are short, you can't get into the microphone unless you stretch your back.
For small people, they prepare high shoes like this and measure them.
On the contrary, there are voice actors who are tall, such as Akio Otsuka.
When I get into the microphone, I open my legs so wide and do dubbing.
That's right. There is a typical voice actor's dubbing style.
We are doing our best to dub while being careful of this kind of thing.
That's a great back story.
Let's learn the basics of voice actors!
Okay, let's do it!
Let's try the basics of voice actors. It's not that difficult, but let's give it a try.
First of all, in an anime set, the director doesn't say things like "do it like this" or "do it like that" from the beginning.
Oh, I see.
First of all you think about it and present it
and then you say "the image is right" or "I want you to do it like this" and you get a response like that.
First of all, I'd like you to try how you approach it.
Using Professor Tacolette's anime video, we'll try voice acting!
First of all, Seki will show us an example.
Boyo! How is everyone doing? I'm Professor Tacolette!
So cute!
Yes.
Wow!
For example, jumping and the last one was blue glue, right? It was like "parapara" on top of it.
If it's an anime, you can exaggerate it and say "parapara" yourself.
You can jump and say "pyooon" yourself. Anything is okay!
Looking at the picture and saying "this would be interesting" or "am I an old man, a child, a man or a woman?"
I'd like you to present Professor Tacolette as you think.
First up is Hirao. How will you express Professor Tacolette's voice?
Are you ready?
I'm ready!
Hello! I'm Professor Tacolette! Everyone, let's make an anime!
Hirao-san, what kind of voice did you have in mind?
I imagined a voice like this.
When I was flying, I thought of a character called "fum" and tried it.
It was very difficult.
It also looked like you were carrying a lot of weight.
Yes, it looked like I was carrying a lot of weight.
Is that a character from "Takoyaki"?
Yes, it's a character from "Takoyaki".
But I tried to imagine it as a packed "Takoyaki".
I see.
And when you were lifting it up, you said "It's heavy".
Yes, I said "fum" and tried it.
It was difficult.
I'm glad you did it.
Thank you very much!
Next up is Shougenji's challenge!
I'll try a different character from Hirao-san.
I'm Professor Tacolette!
Everyone, let's learn anime together!
What kind of character did you imagine?
Yes, I had an impression that he had a high-pitched voice that made me feel like my nose was clogged,
so even when I jumped, I said my lines with a feeling of "kyon"!
You were able to apply your jumps to good parts of your lines.
Ayana, you were good at it!
It was amazing!
She's quite a technician.
Thank you very much!
I think you're wonderful!
The last is Konishi's challenge.
What kind of tachorette professor will he create?
If you're ready, let's go!
You were like a mad scientist, weren't you?
I tried not to wear it.
I tried not to wear it, but I couldn't say anything.
I kept shouting.
Yes, you only had your name in the information.
"Professor Tacorette, hello!"
That's all you said.
But it had a great impact.
You had a high voice, so I thought you were a kid.
But you said "somehow", "somehow".
You had the image of a professor.
Thank you very much.
After this, the legendary voice actor Tomokazu Seki and a dream co-star...
Let's learn about voice actors' skills!
Next is a training to make you feel happy and relaxed.
In order to improve quickly, it's best to get along with good people.
Seki will read various situation scripts for anime.
Who will go first?
I'd like to go first.
You have good heart.
I'd like to go first.
Which one do you want to do?
I'd like to do "hero" and "evil".
Speaking of anime...
Shall we start from there?
Please do.
First, Hinao will try "hero" and "evil".
Let's do it! Ready, action!
Foolish humans! Kneel before me!
Wait!
Stop torturing people!
Shut up!
Hero...
Get out of my way!
Prepare yourself!
I will never forgive evil!
Justice will never be defeated!
It was totally like an anime.
It was like an anime.
Yes, it was like an anime.
A hero who defeats evil.
What did you do?
Your voice was so cool.
Really? I'm happy for you.
"Hirahou" was also good.
What kind of skill was that?
That was called "hirahou", which is a special skill of cannon.
I used it.
I see. It was a weapon.
It was a weapon.
Wonderful.
Can you give me some advice?
You didn't look confident.
I didn't.
If you were more determined to defeat "hirahou", you would have been stronger.
I see.
You were determined from your heart.
You believed in "hirahou"'s power.
I see.
I'll leave it behind. I was embarrassed.
You were embarrassed.
I love you!
After this, Konishi and Shougenji will also challenge "seki" and "hirahou".
Before that...
Everyone watching "Hinatazaka Anime Club", good evening! I'm Yuuya Hirose.
Good evening! I'm Hina Tachibana.
Good evening! I'm Hitomi Ueda.
Our TV anime "YOUBERYBLOOD" is in high demand.
"YOUBERYBLOOD" is an all-time dark fantasy where the protagonist, who was killed by his allies' betrayal, is resurrected from the abyss of death and goes on a journey of revenge.
We've been asked about the charm of anime since the program started.
How do you like it?
As I said earlier, "YOUBERYBLOOD" is about revenge.
That's right.
Some stories are heavy and sad.
How do you like "YOUBERYBLOOD" from you two?
The music that goes with the work is very nice.
I like each and every sound.
How about you, Hina?
I'm the bad guy on the opponent's side who takes revenge on Keintzel.
I hate him a little.
There are some things I can't forget, like human nature. I think it's a drama and a highlight of it.
TV anime "Eubelblatt" is on Kantele from 1:59 pm every Sunday and is in high popularity broadcast.
Watch it!
The next recommended anime is Gohans's original anime "Momentary Lily".
One day, a mechanical invader called "Wild Hunt" appeared from the sky and wiped out all life forms.
A girl named "Renge" who lost her memory and disappeared in an abandoned deserted city.
"Renge" had a great power to resist the invaders.
While wandering in the city, "Renge" met five girls who had the same power as her.
As "Renge" spends every day with her friends she meets, "Renge" fights with an invader who suddenly destroys her daily life at the risk of her life.
"Momentary Lily" is on Kantele from 2:29 pm every Sunday.
The next recommended anime is "Arafo Otoko no Isekai Tsuuhan" which is currently on air.
In commemoration of the broadcast, a collaboration with Yume Group Co., Ltd. was decided.
Some of the videos have been delivered, so please take a look.
TV anime "Arafo Otoko no Isekai Tsuuhan"!
"Arafo Otoko" is too young and saying too much about yourself, isn't it?
No, no, it's not about me!
It's a story about a man named Kenichi, who is a single man who moved to another world,
and who strives for a future where he can buy modern Japanese commodities with his cheating ability.
Wow, I want to live too!
"Arafo Otoko no Isekai Tsuuhan" is on Kantele from 2:55 am every Thursday.
Training that makes you feel happy and sad.
Next, Konishi will challenge a boy and a girl.
Ready, action!
I'm sorry for calling you all of a sudden.
What are you talking about?
You know, I...
I like Tomokazu! I love him!
I... have someone else I like.
No way! Who are you calling "your favorite woman"?!
It has nothing to do with you, Nanami!
What?!
I'm happy you said that, Nanami!
Really? I'm happy, too!
Do you have any advice?
I think it was very natural and good.
Really? I'm happy!
I think it's a little embarrassing,
but I think it would be even better if you could just go for it.
Thank you!
It was wonderful!
In the end, Genji Shou will play the role of the boss and Mr. Kobun.
Let's do it!
Ready, action!
Wow! I made a lot of money today, too!
They're easy to deceive and really stupid people!
Here you go! This is for you!
Is it that good?! Thank you very much!
You're welcome!
Oh, no! There are two of them! Let's run away!
Oh, no! Let's run away!
How can I say...
It's amazing!
I lost my words.
I could feel each part of it.
I'm happy about it.
I'd like you to give me some advice, too.
I think it was good that you made facial expressions.
You made a pitiful face.
I think facial expressions and the atmosphere of your body make your acting start.
In that sense, I think it's a very nice start.
I'm happy about it. Thank you very much.
I'm happy about it.
Seki-san.
Yes?
Who do you think is the best actor among you three?
As voice actors?
Yes.
It's difficult.
Each of you was good.
And actors are the only ones.
I don't know who is the best, but...
Well, you played the role of a pioneer.
So, I think it's you, Hirao-san.
Oh, no!
And you played the role of Hirao-san in "Ad-lib".
I was good.
I'm happy about it.
But you all were good.
Thank you very much.
I'm happy about it.
I've always been interested in voice actors.
Thank you for giving me such detailed advice.
It was a great honor for me.
Me, too.
Thank you very much.
I'm looking forward to seeing you all on the set.
Thank you very much.
Seki-san, thank you very much for today.
Thank you very much.
