I LOVE the Sailor Moon series! I grew up with magical girl shows. really loved Mew Mew Power too! Recently I started watching romance anime and Snow White with the Red Hair has become my favorite thus far. Such a good romance show! ❤️

Do you have any tips for people that want to become voice actors in the future?

Take voice acting classes/workshops. They will teach you how to act and that's the best place to start.

Who has been your favourite character to voice?

That's tough. It's like picking my favorite child. Haha! Probably Hina from The Day I Became a God. I head to speak in Shakespeare talk and match flaps so it was super hard to do but a fun acting challenge.

if you were in the mha universe then what quirk do you think you would have/would suit you best?

indigo shard Sep 8, 2021, 12:11 AM

#

Funny story, I love clouds and the sky aesthetic, so I always thought I would have a cloud or airy Quirk. Then I got cast as Fuwa and she's got puffy earrings and thought that was a cute coincidence.

Which character did you like more, Mahoro or Mawata?

indigo shard Sep 8, 2021, 12:14 AM

#

That's hard to say now since we don't know much about Mawata yet. But I think I may love Mawata more just because of her possible quirk.

Do you like villains more than good guys?

indigo shard Sep 8, 2021, 12:18 AM

#

Umm...depends on the villain, cause most villains think they are the good guy. I guess I would have to see what their goal is. But in MHA, I like the Villains more because their characters seem to be more complex and I like those kinds of characters.

Cree Summer and Phil Lamar like I've said before. They are FANTASTIC Voice actors and I want to be like them one day. Such range and characters they pull off, amazes me today. If I ever meet any of them, I will probably pass out.

Yang Xiao Long (She/They)#2954 (689288432056270895)

I've always wanted to be a voice actor what are the biggest challenges you've face on your journey to become one

indigo shard Sep 8, 2021, 12:26 AM

#

Motivation is a big thing. There will be some days where you don't want to record anything at all, but you have to. You gotta push through and tell yourself, "you got this" even when you don't feel like it. When that happens, I try to watch a performance or something I would enjoy that will make me want to do what they are doing. It's like a kick in the pants to keep moving. haha (sorry for long response)

How much fun is it to be a voice actor? Do you find you resonate with the characters you voice?

indigo shard Sep 8, 2021, 12:28 AM

#

It's sooooo much fun! I get to play whatever I want and I don't have to look like the character like I would need to in theater.

Ohhh that role was so wonderful. It was truly an honor to voice her. I knew how important she was to some people so I wanted to make sure I did her justice. Thanks to Kyle Phillips for letting me voice the sad panda Chise ❤️

Whenever you’re recording for an anime you plan on watching do you watch/read it beforehand to avoid spoilers or do you just go in blind?

indigo shard Sep 8, 2021, 12:48 AM

#

It depends on if I want to be spoiled or not. But most of the time, I do watch it ahead before I record.

#

Like in "Wandering Witch: Journey of Elaina" (I voice Saya in that show) I didn't watch ahead because I wasn't sure how that show was gonna go and it was so fun recording it without the spoilers.

Oh definitely! My dream is to be on Broadway one day and perform a play. I'm not to great at on camera acting and not sure if I want to do it. There's something about being on stage and getting the energy from audience to boost your performance.
