Background

Japan's anime industry has seen remarkable growth on a global scale, with the Japan Video Association's 'Anime Industry Report 2025' estimating the market to reach an unprecedented ¥3.3463 trillion by 2024. As productions expand and reach international audiences, the demand for actors and voice actors who can interpret character depths and convey the essence of a story has intensified. However, opportunities to train using scripts from commercial projects are often scarce. To address this gap, Human Academy is providing a platform to learn through the 'Blue Lock' scripts, facilitating a hands-on acting experience that aligns closely with real-world professional standards.

Event Details

The 'Blue Lock' acting workshop features unique lessons utilizing scenes such as:
1. 自主練シーン (Self-Training Scene) - A scene showcasing the dedication of the characters.
2. 口論シーン (Argument Scene) - An intense moment between characters in the heat of competition.
3. 作戦会議シーン (Strategy Meeting Scene) - A collaborative effort among characters after facing defeat.

Participants will explore character motivations, dialogues, and the world-building of the film, all while practicing their craft using the movie scripts as guides.

Features of the Acting Workshop

By employing scenes from 'Blue Lock' as educational tools, participants will gain insights into the subtleties of dialogue, emotional depth, and character dynamics essential for high-quality performances. Moreover, the simultaneous offerings at all 15 campuses provide an accessible opportunity to launch aspiring performers' journeys and deepen their understanding and expression of the piece.
