This will be sold as a "polaroid" print at Anime Frontier! I left the white areas blank for buyers to decorate with stickers and write anything on it themselves for a friend or theirselves! ^^
Had an absolutely wonderful time at my first Anime Frontier!
I especially enjoyed being able to partake in the cosplay masquerade, this clip is my Beginner Craftmanship walk-on, honored to share the stage with so many talented cosplayers to make a great show!
All in all I had a fantastic con weekend full of good friends, thanks for having me, Texas, I'm glad I could come show off my work!
Voice Actor Steve Blum on AI in Voiceover, Connecting with Spike, and the Value of Vulnerability
For many fans of a certain age, Steve Blum is more than just a prolific voice actor; he’s the very voice of their childhood and adolescence. As the actor behind some of anime’s most memorable heroes (Spike Spiegel), villains (Orochimaru), and personalities in-between (Zabuka), as well as Toonami itself (Tom) and notable characters in other works (Wolverine, Sub-Zero, Starscream), Blum has become one of the most beloved talents of western animation fandom. Maybe it’s no surprise that he’s also a fount of wisdom and experience.
At Anime Frontier this year, Blum gave an interview covering a variety of subjects, dropping insights about AI in voice acting, teaching other voice actors, and other topics. Here are some of the highlights from that interview*
This December, there's going to be an anime con in Ft. Worth and Steve Blum's going to be there! I can meet him at last! Seriously, I have been out of the loop since about 2010, always finding out afterwards when he's been here. But now I know in plenty of time! (I guess Instagram has its uses, lol.) So I've got to get my Anko costume finished in the next three months. It'll be so awesome! Oh, and they're going to have Robbie Daymond there, also. So it'll be Orochimaru and Mitsuki! Snake family!
Brisket con con brisket! (Bridget with convention brisket)
Had a delightful time at Anime Frontier this weekend! Enjoyed taking part in the masquerade as a Beginner, Bridget has been a nine month labor of love and it was a blast to show her off on the stage!
Congrats to all the winners and everyone who took part in the show!
