NYAF 2010: Voice Actors: East Meets West Panel

Aired: October 21st, 2010



It was one of my favorite VA info panels ever. I think it’s because the panelists asked each other the questions (more like they asked Chihara-san questions and vice versa,) rather than the audience picking questions. One thing that makes the former better is because we don’t have the usual ‘how did you become a VA’-type questions, but more indept questions focused on the work itself. After having been to so many of these panels, deeper questions are more interesting to me…especially hearing the thoughts and comparisons between them.

Veronica Taylor introduced everyone and they gave a rundown of what they did. US VAs, from left to right in the above pic: Jamie McGonnigal (Ranmaru, Kizuna,) Tom Wayland (Arceus, Pokemon,) Veronica Taylor (Ash, Pokemon,) Cristina Vee (Mio, K-on!,) Stephanie Sheh (Mikuru, Haruhi,) Michael Sinterniklaas (Xellos, Slayers,) Rachel Lillis (Misty, Pokemon.) Then they introduced…Chihara-san.


And with that, the panel ended. Photos were obviouslly allowed throughout the panel, but we had an awesome group photo where all the VAs and seiyuu walked down the short catwalk of the stage and posed buddy styled. They faced the right side of the room first, then the middle and then my side. *click went the cameras*
