Voice Planet's Invitation to Aspiring Voice Actors

The Voice Planet project is actively seeking individuals eager to make their dreams of becoming voice actors a reality. Scheduled for July 2025, applications for participation are now open, aiming to provide invaluable support to those without prior experience.

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.

Successful candidates will receive further details about the second round, which will be communicated directly to them.

Project Details

Voice Planet responds to the desire for activities utilizing one's voice. Even those starting from scratch can receive extensive support from a team of professional creators, including:

- Individual consultations with producers

The project emphasizes community connections and ongoing engagement, allowing participants to connect with others who share similar aspirations.

Once the main program concludes, participants can look forward to opportunities such as radio program appearances, exclusive workshops, auditions, and free access to the live house ``ASTRO LAB.``` for extended activities.

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.
