Voice Planet Brings Unique Event to Life

In an exciting showcase of creativity and talent, members of Voice Planet participated in a groundbreaking event titled "Baradoku!" This event, organized by Apra Inc., took place at the multifunctional ASTRO LOUNGE in Shibuya, Tokyo. By merging reading, comedy, and improvisation, the members had the opportunity to hone their performing skills through collaboration with industry professionals.

A New Genre of Entertainment

"Baradoku!" is not your typical performance; it brings together diverse talents including professional voice actors, members of Voice Planet, and comedians for an innovative entertainment experience. The event featured a range of activities, from reading performances to comedy sketches, quizzes, and audience participation in improvisational acting. This eclectic mix ensured that the audience was continually engaged and entertained.

The event's host and MC, Tanaka Yamaneko, who is also an illustrator and songwriter, played a pivotal role in energizing the audience with his witty and engaging commentary, making the experience truly memorable.

Learning from the Best

Before the event, participants attended a workshop led by renowned voice actress Rumi Shishido. This workshop provided an invaluable experience where participants could learn directly from a seasoned professional. Through hands-on training, they acquired insights into the professional mindset and techniques that are essential in the performance arts.

Personal Growth through Collaboration

Three members from Voice Planet—Silky, Hiragana, and Ryuji Honda—made their debut performance together at "Baradoku!" Each actor brought their unique interpretation and style to the stage, cultivating a dynamic interplay that was both thrilling and educational. Here are some reflections from the participants:

- "We really enjoyed discussing the script and how each of us interpreted the role. It was fascinating to see how varied our performances could be from the same material. The experience was highly enlightening!"
- "Being aware of my surroundings while performing in a program that required improvisation was exhilarating. It emphasized the significance of absorbing and responding to my co-actor’s expressions on stage."
