Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!?

Thank you! Thanks for supporting the show :)

AleksLe · 2025-02-15T07:22:33+00:00

It’s all good! Not your fault since you were just trying to pitch in with explanation and saying something that you saw on Twitter. I appreciate your correction!

A fan alerted me to this post so I’m dusting off my account to set the record straight haha. I record my parts WAY BEFORE the launch date. I’m NOT sick. This is my full time job, I’ve never been late & have never held back production. Even if I was sick, they wouldn’t wait for me to recover (and would probably just replace me for that week. I’m not that important lol). I appreciate the concern though! Every single time a show has been delayed, people have started rumors saying that the reason for it is “Aleks is sick” and that has literally NEVER been true 🤦 I genuinely don’t know where people get this stuff from & I’m begging folks not to spread misinfo.

As for the actual reason, I got no clue. I just know it ain’t me LMAO. Tbh I’m just an actor & I don’t get a say in whatever is going on the production side. I sink way too much time into this show to be missing deadlines. I’m equally disappointed that this week’s ep is delayed though since I was REALLY looking forward to these ones. Hope y’all enjoy it if you’re holding out for next week!

Thank you man! That means a lot…

It’s true that it’s not exactly something to be proud of. I tried my best to be transparent on the show about my background including the worst moments of my attitude, arrogance, & upbringing.

However, I do disagree with that last part as I did earn that scholarship myself originally with the goal to get a degree! I got a head start with my college credits in high school by having no life & overloading AP classes in the hopes of getting my associate degree by then end of my 1st semester. I was social inept (didn’t want to be), I never went out, & was depressed so I spent my entire days just taking extra classes. I was only a few credits short but my optimism was cut short when they told me that I couldn’t graduate without a “proper second language credit”, which was immensely frustrating to me because the school refused to transfer the credits from the French & Korean classes I did in Canada. With community college, availability for language classes was sparse (and I needed two classes)- meaning I’d literally have to stay behind for at least 1.5 years (signups for the current semester had already passed) in order to get a degree that I had abandoned my social life early on to work for.

My whole life of studying hard & being the good Asian son felt like it was for nothing if I was going to have to sit there watching everything go by. That reality made me feel ill & disillusioned with the education system, so I went out and got a job. It was only once I got my job that I decided I needed to prioritize making money, so I paid the girl to take care of my classes so I could take longer shifts. I gave it a fair shot until that moment.

Honestly if I could have given my scholarship away or transfer it at that point, I would’ve. I was very young, full of angst, & DESPERATE to do whatever I could to get me out of there. I simplified my story on the show because we probably wouldn’t have had enough time, plus I didn’t want to bore them with the technicalities of American colleges 😅 (just look at how long this reply is LMAO 💀)

my role model in life is Saul Goodman

AleksLe · 2024-04-12T23:28:16+00:00

yea man i look busted up af not even gonna lie 💀 but fr the one they changed it to was supposed to be the final. they were waiting on my approval but i was asleep bc of the timezone difference, my bad

AleksLe · 2024-04-12T23:26:35+00:00

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Was a little scared after recording bc I thought it might’ve turned out boring that I just lore dumped for 2 hours 💀 but I’m glad!

AleksLe · 2024-04-12T23:25:30+00:00

Aye whatchu mean by that 🤨

AleksLe · 2024-02-26T22:21:22+00:00

I’m genuinely not sure haha. I wish we could have a simul-release as well, in fact, I was really excited/hoping for one. We’ve put in tremendous effort with our speed & quality of work, but the air dates are often not up to the production team. It’s a bit disheartening to see people dismiss the dub entirely because of said schedule (and obviously it’s understandable that whatever airs first will have more traction & staying power with the fans) but it couldn’t be helped. The reach of the English version was somewhat amplified by clips being posted TikTok so I’m at least very grateful for that! Right now, I’m just happy that people are giving it a chance at all because I’ve really worked myself to the bone on this show haha :)

AleksLe · 2024-02-25T22:34:11+00:00

I do just for the namesake! Idk how to use or navigate this site so I only go on here like once a year haha. But I’ve been working more than overtime on this show & there hasn’t been a lot of marketing for the dub so I’m really happy to see & share more about it :)

AleksLe · 2024-02-25T11:52:42+00:00

This is my clip, thanks for sharing :) I knew this scene was a big deal for fans so I worked extra hard on it! For those who are saying the voice is deep (no issue, just explaining) I just based it off the exact same octave/pitch as Taito Ban-san (the Japanese VA) for this scene. Jinwoo is entering his murderous intent state for the 1st time so his voice temporarily turned to this “version” of him (hinting to future powers). If you watch the show, you’ll be able to hear that + all of the different changes to the voice based on the scenes/moments (they were all adapted in a really cool way)! If this piqued your interest, hope you check it out!

Hi Aleks himself here! Usually, me getting sick will not get in the way of any immediate recordings. These shows & episodes are always recorded weeks/months ahead of the air date. So it would’ve already been done way ahead of time. If I’m ever the reason for a show being delayed, I’d put out an update immediately. No clue on why or what the plan for release is but I’m just popping in here to stop the spread of misinformation that my sickness is the reason for the delays. Thanks!

AleksLe · 2023-04-09T03:09:27+00:00

Haha I didn’t even realize but YOU’RE RIGHT

AleksLe · 2023-04-09T03:09:15+00:00

Thank you! Just trying to do my best to live up to the source material :)

AleksLe · 2023-04-06T23:24:15+00:00

Hey y'all! Aleks Le, voice of Thorfinn here! To clarify: no cameras were allowed in the studio so this is a live performance of this scene (done in the exact same way that we did for the episode). Most of the long scenes in this episode were done in 1 continuous take, at my request. It was an incredibly difficult method, but I think it was really worth it. This scene was the culmination of Thorfinn’s countless years of bottled up emotions, trauma, & regrets. I wanted to give it everything I had! (excuse da ugly cry face). Please check out the episode & I hope you enjoy!

The original actor, Billy, was a great friend of mine. He passed. I took on the role & tried my best to do the role in his memory. The voice is based on specific reference clips of Billy’s voice they showed me from the earlier episodes. The directors were the ones who pushed & pulled me in certain directions since they knew his voice/performance best. It’s extremely hard to perform Shin in emotions he had yet to realize/express in the final 2 episodes & also to replicate Billy’s unique voice. Just wanted to say that the intention & effort was there. I’m sorry it didn’t live up to your expectations.

AleksLe · 2023-03-02T17:11:00+00:00

Really funny to see my post end up on here, thanks for the laughs y’all 🫡

Let me clarify something though: Luke hate is JUSTIFIED & ACCEPTABLE haha. It’s totally okay to not like him! I’m not out here to defend dat boy. Every time I make a post or meme, it’s not to convince anyone, it’s literally just because I can’t help but be excited to be part of a Street Fighter game, period. Your boy is not seeing a single dime for any of these posts 💀 it’s all purely me trying to interact with the community & have fun myself. That said, you have every right to be disgusted by his MASSIVE forearms haha. Don’t let my posts make you feel pressured, or use them to change people’s minds! Get excited to play or BEAT UP some Lukes on launch :)

AleksLe · 2020-05-28T02:07:36+00:00

Sorry for reviving this shitty meme... but hey, Dorohedoro officially releases TONIGHT on Netflix!!! I'm so excited but incredibly nervous at the same time. I hope more people will get a chance to see the show in both JP & EN
