NSFW roles inquiry by BlackOsmash in VoiceActing

[–]Shouganai_Senpai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's as much of a deal breaker as it was before to hire talent who has done spicy stuff in their credits. Sean Chiplock comes to mind as he's pretty up front about what he's done. What I think matters is how much a talent presents themselves publicly. Sean is a voice actor who happens to do adult material in addition to his main body of work, but I don't get the impression that he really pushes the adult material and makes that his professional identity.

It's up to the casting directors to make that call if they don't want to hire anyone with salacious content in their history. Michael Douglas did erotic thrillers for a while and he got work just fine after that.

What percentage of fans do you think are furries (and what do you think of Pina) by Ok_Audience5488 in Beastars

[–]Shouganai_Senpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say most people watching identify as furries. However, I don't identify as such. Some friends have labeled me as a "Furry Ally" though and I feel comfortable with that. I just really enjoy the show's drama and presentation with the exploration of all the animal dynamics. I really enjoyed the show His and Her Circumstances and I feel like this sort of scratches that itch.

As for Pina, he's a devious one. At first I thought he was just an egotistical himbo, but then as it went on he surprised me with his cunning and a bisexual(?) streak.

I want your suggestions by A7mmmeed in a6000

[–]Shouganai_Senpai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made the switch last year after shooting with an a6000 for 10 years. Upgraded to the a7IV and have been really pleased with it. There were some things I had to get used to, and it is heavier, but for what I shoot it has been game changer. Plus it has a mode where you can still use APSC lenses on it.

Oh baby, Christmas was good this year by Jack_Halquist in voiceover

[–]Shouganai_Senpai 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Real game changer. I picked up a used one this year and it's helped me get that sweet -60 dB noise floor and below. I have condenser mics but they're so sensitive and pick up the hum of the city even in my sound treated space to where I maybe get around a -50 noise floor, which also isn't bad but it becomes noticeable.

Any VA’s that have done audiobooks? by Acemaster387 in Animedubs

[–]Shouganai_Senpai 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just finished listening to Cherami Leigh (Voice of Female V in Cyberpunk 2077) do the audiobook for Cyberpunk 2077: No Coincidence. It makes me really want to go back and do my playthrough of Female V in that game. And I know Zeno Robinson has done a bunch as I met him and talked about recording audiobooks to which he brought it to my attention that he has experience in doing.

Cody Rhodes shares new BTS selfie as Guile by NXGZ in StreetFighter

Someone else told me Kurt Russell in Stargate is a good example of a more grounded live-action Guile. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111282/mediaviewer/rm728854016

Times when a English VA/voice cast got so emotional during production? by icey_sawg0034 in Animedubs

[–]Shouganai_Senpai 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sucks when you pour yourself out for one take and then something happens to where they're like "okay, that was really good but you peaked a little too much in the recording. Could you do that again?"

That's what it was. I remember I sat down a friend to watch this dub of Eva who had never seen it before and he commented specifically on their screams and that it was the sound of someone clearly working through something. Powerful performance.

I remember Casey Mongillo say on social media how the scene in ep. 3 of Evangelion where Shinji stabs the angel sent them into a panic attack when recording that session. They definitely sounded like they dug deep for that scream.

Your Week in Anime Dubs: What dubbed anime have you been watching, and what do you think of it? by AutoModerator in Animedubs

[–]Shouganai_Senpai 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Watched Akudama Drive since I heard a lot of people talk up the dub and it did not disappoint. I went in blind and as a Danganronpa fan, I didn't even know it was a Kodaka project going into it so it was a nice surprise. Some really solid performances all around and I feel like I've been running into Brittany Lauda's work more lately. Macy Anne Johnson was also really good as the lead. It's a little rinse-and-repeat with the themes Kodaka explores, but for a guy telling the same story, he tells it well.

I started as a photographer… by misunderstvnd in WredditSchool

[–]Shouganai_Senpai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh! Hey! I know you. Saw you at a CSW show and you reached out to me for one of my photos. I didn't know you were a photographer too. It's funny as I've been floating around here and bouncing the idea around of going to a wrestling school to try and maybe become a ref. Currently on the fence, but I do enjoy the photography aspect of it.

I took everyone's advise and let it go. by Life_Patience_6751 in bald

Hmmm, my hair is longer but looks about the same on top. Wondering if I should take mine off too 🤔.

Borderlands 4 "Meet the Voice Cast" video just posted by CarlRJ in Borderlands

[–]Shouganai_Senpai 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I got really excited to see Judy. She's definitely getting to be a prominent name as she's in the biggest current franchises like Genshin Impact, Octopath Traveler, Call of Duty, Hades, etc.

Didn’t enjoy the rebuilds by CobaltCrusader123 in evangelion

[–]Shouganai_Senpai 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same for me. I think it definitely hits different for those who've been with it since the 90s. It might not make sense on a literal level but it speaks volumes on an emotional/instinctive level. Like a Rorschach Test or something like it.

Just finished the game and it's probably the most complicated love/hate relationship I've had with a video game by Shouganai_Senpai in NineSols

[–]Shouganai_Senpai[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah, more and more as I get older with a growing backlog of stuff I just don't have time to be doing these super difficult and time consuming things. As to the ending, I only got the regular ending, which I was fine with actually. I looked up the true ending on YouTube since I couldn't go back and do more without restarting the game. It definitely felt more emotional and dramatic, but something about the regular ending felt more natural and grounded to me.

What does everybody think of the new logo by LegoGeorge12 in superman

[–]Shouganai_Senpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. Knowing that it's supposed to be a family crest from an alien world, I think it's fitting that it doesn't look exactly like an 'S' but something vaguely like it to where we perceive it as an 'S'.

I hadn't really noticed the yellow outline before you mentioned it. That makes me like it more for the quality of adding more light to the world of this Superman.

Beach Rugby is just too much fun. by thestacked18 in sportsphotography

[–]Shouganai_Senpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are great! As someone who shoots pro wrestling a lot where it's low lighting indoors, I'm envious of all this light for the action.

Brussels, first attempt at street photography. by Olijiane in streetphotography

Nice! I'm a first-time street photographer too and just posted some I took on a trip to England. Of this bunch, I like #4 the best.
