I've been in touch with him and that it has taken a while to prepare, but now its coming very close to happening. He's asked, to my surprise, to do this Q&A by phone. Its going to cost me money since I live in the UK and he in California, but this is an amazing opportunity for me so it doesn't matter too much. Plus, this will be recorded by my phone and posted here at KOEI Warriors for you to listen to ASAP. Now I would like for you guys, like we did with Kim Strauss, to come up with 10 questions each please. Try not to ask ''Are you voicing him in SW3?'' simply because this type of question will be avoided. Then after me and the staff will pick the 10 best or most suitable questions which I will personally be asking him. And for those fans of his, he will be talking in Mitsuhide's voice since I've asked him to and he's agreed, though I'm unsure how much.

Another great opportunity! My thanks to LittledragonZ for this! Also, best of luck with the interview process and thank you for spending your hard earned money for us here at KW! "Did you go to college to become a voice actor? If so, what was your major concentration and did it help you much when out on the field looking for jobs?" "Can you work from home or are you asked to come to the studio for your job?" |

If you were ever asked to voice anyone for the Warriors series again, would you do it? If so, who would you want to voice the most? Do you think voice acting is a fulfilling career? All I can think of for the moment... Edit: What was your favorite role in voice acting so far? |

Have you ever actually played/watched a game/anime you have voiced in? This is my top question for all actors, really. If they view their own work...

Here is a couple to consider. "If someone was interested in becoming a voice actor, what initial advice would you give them?" "Was a voice actor something you always aspired to be, if not what was your first career option"? Best of luck with the interview LDZ, try to be calm and enjoy it.

Here's one... Did you audition for a part in Koei games or were you approached by them to take a role? (Generalising a tad) |

What made you want to be a voice actor? Did you ever think about becoming a doctor or firefighter or have a job that actually helps people? Can't anyone be a voice actor? It looks so simple! Have any advice for someone trying to become a VA? What's the hardest part about being a VA? Is it competitive? Can't a company just hire a hobo off the streets to do the voice? What's the best part about being a VA? What are the perks? Have any regrets about your career choice? Do you actually audition for the roles? Are there any famous VA's that you have gotten to work with in your career? What do you like to voice the most? movies, cartoons, video games, or anime? |

The questions highlighted probably won't be the best to ask; they're a bit offensive.

Yesterday we fell into a bit of a hiccup, so we will be hoping to finally get this over and done with ASAP - I'm hoping the next 3 days. Please though, if you have any Q's please say so in this thread until I've reported back the results. |

Q: Did you study anything about mitsuhide and looked into his personality before giving him his voice? Id like to know that to get a idea about if koei and the voiceactors take it seriously at all since for instance maeda keiji and hideyoshi were so damn horrible in SW2 (not in 1 thank god) |

"Can you say Mitsuhide's Defeat an officer quote? many fans would like to hear it in this interview". "What funny things happened to you in your career?" "Did you ever had a problem with any company you worked with?" "In your field of specialisation, who are close friends with you?" "From the SW VA staff, who do you like to hung out with?" "Would you encourage your son/daughter to be a VA? if so, then what if they didn't like to?" "What type of characters do you like to VA most? and who was the best character you VAed before in your opinion?" "What new experiences did you gain from VAing? with new different characters for you?" "Did you play as yourself in SW2? What did it feel like?" "What do you think of videogames in general? and how did they improved in the past few years?" "If Koei requested that you VA another character than Mitsuhide, will you do it?" "Were there any characters that you'd prefer VAing them to VAing Akechi?" "What things do you have in common with Mitsuhide? was that a good with with your mission or not?" "Who'd you like to VA with/work with someday?" "If Koei requested that you VA Mitsuhide again in SW3, would you do it?" (That's different that asking him if he IS doing it )

HEY LDZ, if you read this before interviewing him..could you just let him know that we very highly appreciate his work. Not just the interview..but the effort him and many other great voice actors put into their characters. Michael Gough really made Mitsuhide into a great character. If at all possible, tell him this 0.o because it was him and other people like him that turned SW1/XL into the greatness that it was, and not the steaming pile of crap that was the majority of the voice actors in SW2. (Opinion) |

I whole hearly agree with him, the whole VA staff did one hell of a work in SW2, and didn't shame the ones in SW1. Gough was one of the few that acctuly made thier characters better, I also hope that you do thank him.

Eh Nasser, Gough voiced Mitsuhide in SW1, and Lord Nagamasa isn't really praising the SW2 VAs... |

I will do. This has turned into a bit of a fiasco since due the the time differences and him being too busy, he is unable to do it this weekend. But I've suggested another way of getting around this ordeal, and luckily he has been very patient with me.

Despite me being absolutely exhausted, this is the day and within the next hour I will be speaking to him (45 mins actually!). I'm hoping for Chin to be here, so he can post it since I won't be coming online afterwards. Otherwise you guys will have to wait till tommorow evening (here) for me. Lets hope £6 will cover this lol! |

What a disaster, that isn't fully solved yet. But the first-step was that I got the call saved! The first attempt got me disconnected when my credit ran out, so he kindly phoned me back and gave us a 16 minute call. Now whenever I try to send the message to a mobile/ Insp. Chin, it won't allow me to send more than 95kb, this conversation is over 700. Can anyone give advice except using a earphone or mic to it for now? I can attempt that tommorow though. I really hope we can get this solved. |
