Participants will receive comprehensive support from seasoned producers and coordinators, equipping them with the necessary tools and environment to embark on their voice acting journey. Most participants start without any prior experience, proving that this initiative truly welcomes beginners.

New Producer Announcement
We are thrilled to announce that Keiichiro Sawada will be joining Voice Planet as the new producer. With a career beginning at the voice talent agency Yurin Pro, he later became a renowned freelance narrator. In 2017, he founded the Freelance Narrators' Union, which quickly grew, with over half of its members thriving solely through voice work. His innovative approach toward a mutually supportive industry model has established him as a leader in the voice acting sector. Beyond voice work, Sawada has continued to challenge the industry norms by providing creative approaches that nurture the next generation's potential.
Voice Planet is excited to enhance its support framework with Sawada's expertise, which will undoubtedly reinforce the initiative's foundation and outreach.
