The Great Mouse Detective - The World's Greatest Criminal Mind (Swedish Fandub)

How do you keep your throat and voice that well doing all those villain fandub works? I'm worrying about my voice, but it was my mother who worried about that first since I practice various voices to be a voice actor for English language.

@hugh0221 Well, since I'm a trained stage actor I am used to use my voice a lot. In theatre the voice is an actor's main tool along with the body, so actors practise every day to keep theire voice in shape, because if you have a period of playing the same play almost every night for several months then you have to be sure that the voice doesn't get too weak or starts to hurt. Also, in acting only with your voice (as in dubbing) you should defenitely do a lot of vocal exercises.

@hugh0221 Have you studied acting? If not, I hihgly recommend it if you are interested in becoming a voice actor. Studying stage acting is really the ground step for all types of acting and all actors who do other types of work have all started in theatre. I would also say that if you want to dub in english (why not your own language?) then you should also be absolutely sure that you can speak it fluently without an accent. The best way to get a good, natural english is to live in that country.

I haven't studied acting properly...yet. I'm a university student who majors English, and I haven't even finished military duty yet. But I'm a member of the English-language drama club in school, and I'm considering about joining the RADA or the RSC after graduating my school. I want to act classically like Jeremy Brett, and sing like Julie Andrews, and perform various foreign accents or try risky slapsticks like Peter Sellers.

@hugh0221 That sounds very good! I wish you all the luck. I also like the fact that you are inspired by artists who where classically trained and worked in an era where you had to have real talent to perform on stage and film. I wish there would be more young people like you who could appreciate the old quality art. Congratulations!

But in South Korea, most people think musicals are stupid, and musical films are very rare to find among Korean ones(Quoting an old Korean saying, I can say it's different as 'picking a star on the sky'). And there's no such thing like 'performing foreign accents'.

If I do voice acting in Korean, you can find no speciality from me.
