Voice actor Koichi Yamadera hosts the NHK Educational TV talk show "Bistro Voice" (Saturdays at 8:45 PM). On the February 28th broadcast, voice actors Kenjiro Tsuda and Akio Otsuka will appear as guests. Tsuda and Otsuka, who have unique deep voices, will have an in-depth discussion with Yamadera, who they have known for a long time, about voice and acting. They will also perform an impromptu reading play on the theme of "rules for taking out the trash."
Otsuka, who has dubbed for numerous Hollywood actors, explains how he uses different voices when dubbing Steven Seagal and Nicolas Cage. Meanwhile, Tsuda, who says that the most important thing when deciding on a voice is the physical condition and rhythm of the character he is playing, talks about the "Otsuka Akio style."
Otsuka, who took over the role of Jigen Daisuke in "Lupin the Third" from Kobayashi Kiyoshi, and Tsuda, who took over the role of Hayashido Takumi in "World Trigger" from Fujiwara Keiji, talk about the difficulties of taking over a role and the attention to detail they pay.
Furthermore, his seniors Yamadera and Otsuka will thoroughly analyze Tsuda's acting and the reasons for his current popularity. Tsuda is taken aback by his senior's sharp observation that "Ken always tries to do things on the edge of the NG," and can't help but pour out his thoughts on acting.
When a voice expert analyzed the voices of the two guests, it became clear that even though they both have low voices, their vocal qualities are completely different. Otsuka's voice has a multi-layered structure, while Tsuda's low notes are characterized by a sense of inversion. We delve into the secrets of the low voices that captivate so many people.
