Learn what it takes to break into the business..

Adventures in Voice Acting Volume One is an incredibly interesting compilation of interview footage with voice actors, clips of anime they have worked on and tips from these actors for others aspiring to these jobs within the industry. The disk is broken down into 5 full-length chapters that describe in great detail the various aspects of the business, what it means to be in the business, how to get in, and essentially what to do once in. The viewer gets the impression that the actors featured in this program are genuinely interested in helping the aspiring voice actor get into the business through a complete immersion in “what it’s all about.” The feature does not hide the truth, even when it’s not ideal; instead the program gives the voice actors themselves a chance to have the floor, to be seen by their audiences and to frankly discuss their field and their experiences that make up their daily lives.

The first chapter, “What is a Voice Actor?” offers a thorough definition of what it means to be a voice actor. These definitions are all done through the words of voice actors themselves so the narrative has a refreshingly personal feel to it. In this section also the actors offer a brief overview of where the entire explanation will go throughout the following chapters of the disk.
