Hands-On Workshops by Voice Planet
Voice Planet, managed by Apra Co., Ltd. based in Shibuya, Tokyo, recently conducted a series of workshops across four major Japanese cities: Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka. Designed for aspiring voice actors and enthusiasts, these workshops provided participants with a unique opportunity to learn microphone work in a setting similar to actual recording sessions.
A Unique Learning Experience
The workshops, led by experienced voice training instructors, followed a hands-on approach to teaching microphone techniques. Unlike traditional workshops, this program simulated a real recording environment where multiple participants shared a single microphone. This immersive format helped attendees understand not just vocal techniques but also the nuances of collaborating in a studio setting, including mic timing and positioning during recordings.
The events were scheduled on both weekdays and weekends, allowing more individuals to join this enriching learning experience. With multiple locations and dates, the workshops aimed to cater to a wide audience wanting to hone their skills.
Voices from the Participants
Feedback from those who attended the workshops was overwhelmingly positive. One participant shared, "The insights on microphone work and industry experiences were incredibly valuable for my voice acting journey. I felt like I gained a lot of practical knowledge."
Another attendee emphasized the rarity of such an opportunity, stating, "Experiencing a simulated recording session, especially with eight people simultaneously recording, was eye-opening. I greatly appreciated the chance to practice beforehand."
A participant remarked on the complexity of the tasks—"I found managing my timings with mic exchanges quite challenging yet rewarding. It was a great learning experience overall. I now have a clearer image of what to expect in future anime recordings!"
