Let's just be absolutely clear on this: Connor's reason for struggling is 100% his basic level of Japanese. It is obvious to everyone that he has both the confidence, the ability to enliven a character and the ability to perform, in voice acting, if only he knew the language better. I mean, the tone of that man's voice is maaade for VA work. So deep and smooth, wow.

Man, Connor. You're crazy ambitious to have attempted this. Props. There's a base-level concept being proven in this showcase of what it takes to be a voice actor (or really, to achieve any endeavor): talent is not enough, you gotta put in the time to learn and practice. I like that Japanese culture has a baked-in expectation for every individual to keep learning, no matter how proficient they've become - when everyone is a student, then everyone is unified in their purpose, moving in the same direction despite any disparity in their present levels of ability.

[@sebastian-ny1sp]

I think his experience as a VA actually might have hurt him in some ways when reading in japanese. He have previously said that part of VA is being able to read scripts very fast and predict the words and this makes it so that he will read out the characters as soon as his brain processes what each individual character means but he have no idea what word that character is part of so his words comes out a bit odd at times.

[@norasyikinali6283]

Japanese VAs tend to get their scripts a few days in advance though, like what Joey got when he got chosen to voice act a game. So technically Connor should be able to get used to the Japanese dialogue days in advance before the recording if he was ever chosen to VA there.

[@sebastian-ny1sp]

@@norasyikinali6283 definitely if that was his only problem but sadly it is not. The Japanese VA business is so difficult that most Japanese people can't even pronounce Japanese words well enough to be qualified for the job which is why they have so many schools for it.

[@sabrookchi]

If I were take a guess as to why they don’t maybe a money and scheduling problem. English dubbing does not pay very well, so often times vas have an alternative form of income, like a day job. And if their job is mainly voice acting, they may doing multiple gigs at a time. I heard how some vas would have more than two gigs scheduled on the same day. That does not lend itself to group sessions. It would be nice to have if the circumstance allowed it.

[@IMissBionix]

Most professionally produced western cartoons were recorded ensemble pre-COVID. Think Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney, even random British or Canadian cartoons. Connor's view is a little out of sync with how things are done overall because he's mainly been an online voice actor hyper fixated on anime. The former already confines you to one on one sessions because there's a good chance you're not recording anywhere close to the rest of the cast. The second is dubbing work, which is done solo because it's easier to match flaps without the distraction of other actors. I'd be curious to know if Japanese dubs of foreign works are recorded with everyone in the same booth or if they also do it solo.
