I would love more Hmong representation in mainstream medias other than Gran Torino! It would be SO cool to see a Hmong Hero, Agent, Legend, etc. Something that would’ve helped a kid like me felt seen!
Jumping off of Aleks' post A huge part that's missing from the convos about authentic casting is also the discussion of opportunity. People aren't making SEA characters as often as they are making East Asian characters I'd love to see more Viet characters played by Viet actors

been losing potential voice acting roles for YEARS bc every time they say “any accent” in an audition (they mean British, European, Transatlantic, Southern) I just keep doing a Vietnamese accent 💀 and I won’t stop bc I wanna see a game character with a THICK VIET accent so bad

Weird that people think as an English voice actor, that I don’t respect/care for the JP version. I watch tons of my anime subbed. Koki Uchiyama is one of my favorite male seiyuu. One of the best parts of being FF was hearing Mariya Ise’s amazing performance before anyone else.

How is the internet less private than in 2006, when the whole family shared one computer? Back then, the internet was weird, personal, and all of ours. So, we got your favorite meme legends back together to say it louder: What happened to the internet? 1/3

i know there's a lot of classes for voice acting but I've been wondering if there are classes or resources for voice directing as well I still find it hard to structure what I have to say and sometimes I see good tips floating around but something general would help a lot :')
