Behind The Voice Actors
Watching anime is probably one of the favorite hobbies of kids, teens, and young adults who are engaged in Japanese culture. For whatever reasons we have for watching it, whether for fun, entertainment, learning or just simply a way to chill, there's no doubt that watching anime never fails to amaze us. Of course, aside from the brilliant animations, unique characters, and mind-twisting plot and story, we satisfy our happiness by our fandoms, OTPs, and even sometimes, simply hearing the voice of your favorite anime character makes you go 'kyaaaaa!' Speaking of anime characters, anime fans are all aware that their voices are being dubbed by voice actors, and these voice actors are called 'Seiyuu' in Japanese language. Being a seiyuu is a nice job, given the fact that voice acting in Japan is widespread because it is the country where anime originates. Today, Japan produces 60% of the animated series in the world, and our seiyuus are working on the voices of our characters. Have you ever wonder who's the man behind Light Yagami?
