Saying your lines is all you have to do if you're a dub actor. Everything else is done in the localization and ADR department. It's just that some voice actors wear many hats and double as the localization staff, adr directors, etc. Then in Japan it's pretty much unheard of for a voice actor to do anything other than their line reads. Over here though I'd say close to half of the VAs double in one way or another on some other aspect of making the show. Then there are ones like Spike Spencer who just does line reads and nothing else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 That's the point I was trying to get across. Dub acting may involve just reading the lines, but with all the work that goes into mixing the dialogue in with the SFX tracks and making sure the final product is at the desired level of acceptability, one can't just go thinking the dubbing is done at the tail end of everything.

Distinct Lunatic Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) In order to make any real money as a VA in the American anime industry you pretty much have to double down, doing something else involved in its production. Considering all or just about all Dub production in the US isn't union, when it came to people like Troy Baker, Laura Bailey, and so on they just about completely left doing anime for video games since voice acting for video games is majority union, that being where the money's at. Also heard somewhere that once you're in the VA union you're not allowed to do work for companies that aren't union, or at least won't pay the amount required for union work. I think the only exception being for reprisals, such as Laura Bailey returning for the new Fruits Basket series.

Distinct Lunatic Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 On the topic of American anime VA's, the thing that helps in them making money is typically the dubbing companies will allow them use their characters likeness at places like conventions. If you're a VA in America and not in a union or doubling down, conventions is your only other real choice in order to make a proper living. Or I guess you could become famous on Twitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last episode of season four aired in Japan on April 4th, almost two months before then. It may affect season five in the future, but every single episode that currently exists was fully completed and released months ago in Japan. Also, why the fuck would the Japanese actor's medical leave have anything to do wit the English dub of the show? I am genuinely curious why you believe he has any effect on an overseas production that he doesn't even work on. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have a lot to do with the english side of things, because if Japan isn't putting out more episodes then they aren't giving funi the scripts to work with. Right now funi is only two episodes behind where the sub stopped. I've even spoken with funi about the simul dubs and they said that they do them as fast as Japan can get them the scripts, if they don't deliver then there's nothing they can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I just went through Crunchyroll's archives and this is the only thing I found, which says absolutely nothing about putting the anime on hold. The last episode, which aired over two months ago in Japan, ends with the phrase "To be continued: 5th season!" It's on a normal seasonal break, not being postponed because of his medical issues. And they don't wait on Japan for scripts, why would they? The episodes are already fully translated and subtitled, and hit their website on the same day as the Japanese airing. They've had the scripts the entire time. Edited June 12, 2020 by EmpressAngel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 The next season probably isn't even in pre-production yet, much less in a place where they're ready for voice actors to start recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Japanese are pretty quick when it comes to cranking out anime, but for another 26 episode season I'd imagine you're still looking at a solid 6 months to a year of work, they're likely going full swing in production (assuming the Corona hasn't completely halted things) I don't know at what point during production they do the voice over but I think it's near the final steps, so realistically I'd imagine there's several more months before they'll start recording.

OwlChemist81 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 There's probably no friggin' way this is actually happening, but it would be awesome if Fire Force Season 2 ended up some kind of Space Dandy situation. I think we'll get something else on July 11th, and then FF either replaces Paranoia Agent or Mob Psycho 100 in August. It will be interesting to see if they can keep up with dubbing it one episode a week. If not, it might be September after Labor Day before it comes to Toonami. Toonami's fall schedule will probably have enough marathon interruptions to keep FF going. And maybe, just maybe, they can mix in some other specials if another show is coming to an end. But real talk, Fire Force may just carry Toonami until MHA comes back, but 2021 could be a much better year for us all! Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demarco though seemed like reruns of jojo are the opposite of what anyone would have wanted. Even when he tweeted about it, he presented it like "thank god we are getting ballmasterz reruns instead of jojo reruns amiright". A lot of twitter did backlash over it as they rather would have had jojo reruns. I assume reruns for jojo were off the table more out of licensing issues and short notice, than it being something he or toonami fans hated. It doesn't pull in as much ratings though as MHA, AoT, or DBS, but it still pulls better ratings than Naruto, Boruto or HunterxHunter have on average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardcoreHunter Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Okay well sent the message hope to hear back from her. Just general questions about dubbing in lockdown and asking how she is doing. Though point shown, it takes no effort to send a message to someone. You don't have to be some insider with connections. Guess I could have also sent the email to monica, Matt Greenfield, Kyle Hebert since I have as well. It's almost like if I ever had a question about voice acting, I just asked the voice actors instead of waiting for a convention. Also industry stuff and sometimes box releases. I remember asking Tiffany about the eva blu-ray a couple of years ago that Japan was getting to see if we would be getting an NA release. This is also when I learned about licensing deals and how they work. That every format has it's own deal that needs to be bought, and there are also regional licenses which how we sometimes can end up with multiple dubs for the same show at the same time like what happened with DBZ between funi and ocean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
