Bookwalker is located in Japan. The person he's talking to has worked with him before and was responsible for getting him in touch with bookwalker and relocated to Japan.

[@deaddead698]

So: Yaoi: said only in the west Boys Love (said as BL): only said in Japan Hentai: only said in the west H (pronounced ecchi): a more common way of saying it, but there are tons of different words in Japan, hentai not included Anime: Refers to Japanese animation solely in the west Anime: Refers to ALL animation (from Dragon Ball to Toy Story) in Japan I can keep going with this, but I won’t

[@FunnyGuyTimmy]

Doesn’t Hentai mean pervert in Japan?

[@deaddead698]

[@bruis1527]

Ecchi is a different thing

[@MrKaratefan]

@@bruis1527 Ecchi is the phonetical spelling of the way a japanese person pronunces the english letter h. Which is used as short form of Hentai. Though in western terms ecchi is used to describe a slightly lewd but not sexual show. With lots of skin shown but no proper nudity and stuff.

[@KaoruGoyle]

I think most of Connor's desition are made for content's value, I know you are giving serious advice and taking things in a professional serious manner, and I think Connor would do things differently if he didn't have a youtube channel to maintain as well as his voiceover projects. The fact that he published the auditions for twitter is a calculated move to get more content and have some fun at bad auditions.

Total irony, but ... Trash Taste had an episode with an Anime VA Shu Uchida, that gives a good view into the Anime Industry. Even if you might not react to the highlights, it might be interesting to view it, just to broaden you knowledge :D

[@FunnyGuyTimmy]

I may check it out. Thank you.

[@KaneOtonashi]

@@FunnyGuyTimmy Hope you will find it interesting. They talked quite the bit about the different? skillset they need in the Jp industry. Its best to wait for clips on the "Trash Taste Highlights" Channel (The Podcast itself is like 2h long)

[@ChibiJoVT]

on the regularly part. reminds me of when I was helping with my friend’s Doki Doki Literature Club. I kept saying “pancake” instead of “cupcake” ......5 minutes of saying pancakes. doesn’t sound that long to most. But when it’s the heat of summer....no ac.....in a hot ass booth. It was terrible. Felt like an eternity. My friend wanted the uncut recording and still incessantly makes fun of me for pancakes.

[@Aisuryuu]

It took more than one sitting, but I finished the whole video! Thank you for reacting to this and all the commentary you gave. I was already a subscriber to Conner, but I do appreciate your videos and subbed to you recently as well!

[@FunnyGuyTimmy]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@RandomMan784]

I just really enjoy how deep these videos are diving into everything! I just respect VA In general and it helps really learning about voice-over from a different angle.

@FunnyGuyTimmy thanks for the full reaction btw. XD I appreciated Connors video for all the insight and this feels like a nice bonus of insight. I'm not a voice actor but I'm a fan of voice actors and just love learning more about the process to enhance my appreciation of the work.

Btw .. its a bit offtopic but .. on the Trash Taste Podcast is fitting video: "Can Unqualified "Experts" Stop Making Reaction Videos??

I wonder why it seemed that most of the female auditioned had super quiet recordings and non of the males? (thank you for caving and reacting to the video btw)

[@FunnyGuyTimmy]

It’s shyness. It’s actually super common. A lot of guys have quiet demos but it’s more a female VA thing. Not completely sure why but I have seen that a lot as well.

[@tsugumi_seishirou]

What a mad lad for reacting to this long video and i actually watched all of it lol

[@scoremoore4280]

He has a massive discord server with voice actors and just random people, I'm also apart of it. thing is with people in his server or any other that I've seen is most think their beyond people help, and don't like when people give good feedback. People often ask me how did you stop being shy of yelling in front of my family and what not, cause my family do not support the fact that I want to be a voice actor, I tell them I just stop caring what people think. A movie I'd recommend people watch is call yes man, it's with jim carrey who said no to everything then he met someone that told him to start saying yes to basically everything, after that so many stuff got unlocked for him, I don't recommend it for kids and teen though. yes I just watched this entire video, what can i say I just like everything voice over.

[@mr_rndmzr]

Mann, this was a very interesting video, like Connor itself gives some information and tips about voice acting and production but you added a lot of useful information, I never even considered the importance of the materials of the room or of the clothes you wear, I'm not in the voice acting world but it was great experience to learn more about how voice acting projects aren't as easy as they can be seem for an outsider

[@sike5043]

Im still surprised you make your own thumbnails, imagine having that much talent

[@eruantien9932]

Where is Bookwalker based? I'm 99% certain they're somewhere in Tokyo; Kadokawa (the parent company) has its HQ in Tokyo and the studio where they record the Trash Taste Podcast (of which Connor is a co-host) is also somewhere in Tokyo, so it makes sense that Bookwalker and GeeX+ would also be there (certainly they're in the same building as a Kadokawa office, don't know if it's the HQ though).

[@bioterman8609]

Idk why but I don't mind the length of the video, I just love your voice.

[@FunnyGuyTimmy]

Thank you.

[@JRderGamer]

I think Connor's video is a bit low. I have to really find the balance between being able to understand it without your commentary being too loud

[@FunnyGuyTimmy]

Yeah I normalized it based on his loudest peaks not really thinking about how he is pretty quiet throughout the rest of the video.

[@leorx7]

Amazing video as always! Learned so much and made sure to watch from beginning till the end!

[@willem8820]

Bro i just realised you kinda sound like and look like Paul Giamatti

[@JamesMerlaut]

I have a question; what are some basic tips to help improve your audio quality? I don't do voice acting, I just do a Gaming KZbin Channel. But I have noticed sometimes the subs I'm good friends with ask, "Did you change your Mic?" And the answer is never yes, so I'm guessing it's an environmental factor that I haven't been able to pin down. I use a Razer Seiren Mini Microphone, pretty cheap (about 50-60USD) but IMO it's pretty good for what I need it for. I have noticed sometimes it gets pretty echo-y, and I usually have to reduce the track volume otherwise it comes out SUPER loud. Sorry if this was too long, but any advice you can give would be highly appreciated.

[@FunnyGuyTimmy]

It’s your proximity to the mic and the recording space, I would imagine. Even a cheap mic will sound better at the right distance and in a well treated space. Go to my channel page a search treatment or studio. Basically anything about setting up a good space. Those videos will help you the most.

[@JamesMerlaut]

@@FunnyGuyTimmy Sounds like a plan, after dinner (730pm in Australia atm) I'll check it all out. And yeah now that I think about it, the echo stopped after I moved my bed closer to my desk (bed is being used as a chair lol)

Yes sadly it’s a problem that a lot of people are having. The audio was normalized via the loudest peaks in the video but this meant that the majority of the footage was a bit quiet and hard to hear on speakers or low power earbuds. This was one of a few things that didn’t get properly check before the video was posted.
