More hype was starting to build for the series at the time we were recording, so I was a bit nervous hoping to do the character justice! I think that when reading something like a comic, it’s very easy for people to imagine in their heads that a character sounds a certain way, and people can have strong opinions. KB: There wasn’t a whole lot of information on the anime yet at the time I auditioned, but it seemed that the Webtoon had a very devoted fanbase. When I saw the full list I was so excited to be working with the other voice actors. When I got the role of Endorsi, I didn’t know the whole voice acting cast. However, when I saw the full cast, I knew it was going to be great! Crunchyroll really chose the heavy hitters for this show. JT: “Tower of God” hadn’t been dubbed yet and I know that sometimes the subtitled show can be popular when the dub doesn’t get the same attention. JYB: I had no idea, I still don’t fully know because I haven’t been to any conventions since the shut down.That’s how I usually find out. Tower of God has been very well received, did you have any inkling of how popular it would be when you read the scripts? My agent has been reminding me it’s OK to take the time for yourself, and reminding me to put myself first. Being a voice actor is important to me, but so are those relationships being a daughter or a sister. May is mental health awareness month and, because of everything, getting to know yourself more is so important. This pandemic has made me realize that I’m actually not like that! I’m a hugger! It’s been rough in that way. I have always said I am a cat - I live alone, with no pets or roommates. A lot of us voice actors consider ourselves to be introverted. The biggest hurdle is the occasional lag in streaming picture to match lip movements. I’ve been fortunate enough to now have my own dedicated home studio with a professional set up. Because of my band I’ve collected pieces of music gear for over 15 yrs. Fortunately for me I have a professional set up at home. My following sessions were all work-from-home. JYB: After my first session we were put on stay-at-home order. How are you coping with the current lockdown situation - have their been any challenges when recording from home? At the time of writing, four episodes of the show have now been dubbed and are available via Crunchyroll's streaming service.įorced to record from home due to the current pandemic, we're extremely grateful they gave us some time to talk about the show. Our final actor, Jeannie Tirado, plays Ha-Yuri's sister, Endorsi. Aided (in a way) by the mysterious Ha-Yuri Jahad played by Kira Buckland (KB), Bam finds himself allying with the mysterious Khun Aguero Agnes, played by Chris Hackney (CH). Johnny Yong Bosh (JYB) plays the lead, Bam, a young man fighting to climb the tower to rescue the girl he loves. Our friends at Crunchyroll have been kind enough to hook us up with four or the English voice cast for the incredibly popular original series, Tower of God.
