Hey everybody, Adam Gibbs here. You
0:02
might know me as Shinichi from Parasite,
0:04
Sugar from HighQ, Sata from Great with
0:06
the Fireflies, Shadow from Eminent
0:08
Shadow, and recently announced Tamzy
0:10
from Gachiaka. When signing autographs,
0:12
what quotes do fans ask for the most?
0:15
Uh, well, I certainly from Shadow I get
0:18
I am at. But uh one of my favorites is
0:22
from my favorite character uh life
0:24
lessons with Udumichi Onissan where he's
0:27
very humorously depressed and he says uh
0:30
what happened to my smile and my will to
0:32
live? Where is it? God. So that's
0:36
definitely a couple of my favorites.
0:37
Sata engrave with the fireflies is such
0:39
a heartbreaking role. What was your
0:41
process for approaching a character with
0:42
that kind of emotional weight? Uh I say
0:46
it was really hard and really easy at
0:47
the same time. Uh it was very difficult
0:49
because of the emotional nature. Um I
0:51
come from the world of theater where
0:53
you're really taught to feel it down
0:56
deep as if you are the person having it
0:59
happen to you. Um so it's more from for
1:01
me it's more than just the voice. So I
1:03
really every time when I transition from
1:05
theater to voice I really try to carry
1:07
that with my work and hopefully that
1:09
that translates through through what you
1:11
what you hear. Um cuz I I'm really not
1:13
just trying to live it here. I'm trying
1:15
to live it here. You've been a part of
1:16
iconic franchises like One Piece, Tokyo
1:18
Ghoul, My Hero Academia. Which one gives
1:20
you the most bragging rights? Um,
1:22
honestly, I I get the most love and the
1:26
bragging rights as Suga from HighQ. Um,
1:30
he's such a sweetheart. The fans call
1:32
him Suga Mama. He's this just the real
1:36
uh sweetheart of the team. I say in
1:38
another world he'd be the the villain of
1:39
the series because he gets he loses his
1:41
position, but he puts his ego aside and
1:45
um really does the best he can for the
1:47
team and every fan I meet is just the
1:49
absolute sweetest. So, Suga Mama Till I
1:52
Die. Do you have a dream project in
1:54
anime or game you'd love to work on? Um
1:58
I'd love to get more game work under my
2:00
belt. Um as far as titles go, it's less
2:03
titles and more directors. um there it's
2:08
a really um it can it can grow to be a
2:10
really intimate experience between your
2:12
the actor director and you you really
2:14
start to learn to speak each other's
2:16
languages um and there are still
2:18
directors out there um at certain
2:21
studios that I've yet to work with and
2:23
who I know personally um but have yet to
2:26
really get that experience to kind of
2:28
get to know each other on that on that
2:29
actor director level. What's one thing
2:31
you wish you would have known before
2:33
starting voice acting? Um, I wish I
2:36
would have known that this world exists.
2:38
Um, I, like I said, coming from theater,
2:40
I spent so much time looking at the
2:43
audience at the end of each night and
2:44
connecting with them. With voice acting,
2:47
particularly in anime, you don't get
2:48
that experience. And so I never was able
2:50
to feel that kind of passion uh until I
2:53
started coming to shows and really fully
2:54
understanding what this means to
