I'm just kind of curious of people's origin stories in acting. Like did you take a lot of acting classes, go to every audition, and then got picked? Or were you lucky and were in the right place at the right time and had the right look? Or perhaps you...

For video games and anime, how much time does a voice actor have in the booth to analyze and mark up a script before recording lines?

Hi! Kind of a weird request - Does anyone know this 2016-era voice actor used in this video at the 2:05 mark? Thanks a lot! I assume he would be found through the F word platform or youtube at the time but after long searches I haven’t been able to find him.
