This one will be done via email, its more suitable for him it seems. Though if confident enough, I will ask for a voice clip at a later stage. ;)

So please ASAP think of up to 10 questions each (if possible) and make sure they are reasonable and ones he wouldn't mind to reply to. And keep the questions about Koei, only, since this is what our main focus is.

Thanks.

Interesting. Voice of Zhange He eh?
Name: Crimsondramon/Ash Mann from Koei Warriors
Then I got this question: Was it challenging to do the voice of Zhang He's as compared to the other characters that you have voiced?

In all of them. You are bound to like one of them, no? :P And I know all 3 are popular anyway.

This interview could take time depending when he is free and when he replies next. So please don't expect something so soon.

So asking why he made Sun Ce's voice similar to the Prince of Persia is outta the question ,huh? <_<

Ok then, here's one. Which one of the voices you did for Dynasty Warriors was the hardest? And why?
The name's Pang Tong. I do what it takes to get the job done. Nothing more DW Strikeforce/ Pang Tong duel

Ah.. Okay... I'm a big fan of Sun Ce. XD

I really can't imagine, Sun Ce with Zhang He's voice and vice versa! XD

I'll be drafting some questions to ask and I won't mind the wait. ^^;;;

Here's mine.

Was there any specific voice direction that was given to you (or you undertook yourself) in order to allow Zhang He or Sun Ce to become more familiar Western archetypes?

EDIT: Jsun brings up a good point with credit.
Please credit mine to 'tennoarashi from KOEI Warriors'.

I worked hard on these questions and please try to give credit to the people who ask these.

Who is your favorite KOEI character?
-Jsun or John Smith from KOEI Warriors



My Questions:

You've done a lot of work for KOEI, voicing not only the Dynasty Warriors series, but other KOEI games as well. (Bladestorm, Warriors Orochi, Odin Sphere, Persona 3, Grim Grimoire..etc) It seems like KOEI has taken a liking to your voice or are you just a big fan of their games?

I noticed that you are a master in the arts of Wu Shu. Did this have any impact or influence on your voice acting career choices? If you could fight any warrior from the Dynasty Warriors games who would it be and why?

Your wife Tara (Ranmaru/Oichi) has also worked with you on many of your voice acting projects. What is it like working with her? Do you think she has made a huge difference in your career?

What can we expect to see from Yuri Lowenthal in 2009?

Well, here are a few of mine.

Which of the VAs did you enjoy doing the most?

Did you have to do any research into getting the right voice for the character?

In Zhang Hes case, how did you come up with his voice, from his hoistorical persona, was it what he said or his clothing, actions etc?

Were their any othe KOEI characters, that you would like the oppurtunity to VA?

All right, I've got a few questions:

1. Which characters that you've voiced for in Dynasty Warriors do you find yourself most alike? (Sun Ce, Guan Ping, or Zhang He)

2. The battle cries and death cries in the Koei video games: Are they fun to do?

3. How do you make the character your own and separate from the Japanese VAs?

And here's questions that are not mine but she wanted to ask it, and she's not a KW member. (credit to LadyArbee)

1. If there's a DW 7, will want to be Sun Ce's voice again?

2. Do you have a dream character you wish to voice?

3. (she just wanted to know this one for fun) Do you like to eat waffles?

Oh nice, another interview. ^_^

I think there are some good question suggestions already, but try put say 1-2 on Yuri's like in general as a voice actor, and about it etc. Sure have many KOEI based questions, but not all of them.

Haha, take your time SHUMA-GORATH (within the next few days at least) then I will be able to conjure some up and get this going. No idea when I'll get the reply back though.

Yes, Fayt. I did that with Michael's interview. Though the main focus being directed at KOEI.

OK, I have got one/a few.>_>


"How do you come up with the different voices and accents? How long does it take to develop a character's style of voice they will use? From your more standard styles of speech in Dynasty Warrior games and Persona, to your European accents for characters in Bladestorm*, Odin Sphere** and other games, how much prep work is needed?"



(*He did the Archer merc guy [Georges? IIRCC] and was one of the choosable Player voices)
(**Odin Sphere not published by Koei in any region AFIAK, but do mention the game, as Cornelius's English accent is pretty fantastic IMO)

Is this still going to be done? Because I love Yuri Lowenthal and would love to ask him a question as well but this topic seems dead now. :/

Hey, what happened with this? I'm curious. I love this guy. He's also Luke/Asch from Tales of the Abyss, also one of my all time fave games. I'd love to hear him say "But -I'm- the Little Conquerer!" In Luke-esqe fashion. Bwaha. :3

It got called off at the time, sorry for forgetting to reply, I must've thought I did. But I've informed Jiahe that I'll try to get it to start off this time. Not exactly sure when though.

I didn't even notice this topic. Are you still taking questions for Mr. Lowenthal? If so, I have one:

I've heard you are friends with Doug Erholtz. He was the voice actor for Zhang He in Dynasty Warriors 5, but you replaced him and retained your other role as Sun Ce. Was this because he dropped out, or because you have the talents to voice two people, and he was just unfortunate not to land a different role in the game?

Well that stinks, LDZ. You're so fortunate to talk to these people! I'm jealous :3

Please keep us updated! I look forward to this. I don't really have any questions though. I'd be a lousy interviewer, I'd just keep asking him to say stuff in his Sun Ce/Luke voice.

I'd rather hear his Asch voice, or his Suzaku voice :D but that's just me.

I always thought of his Asch voice as an angry Luke voice. XD Drek! REPLICA! >3 Gosh I love that game~

I guess if I did have a question it'd be along the lines of how did he manage to keep getting cast Sun Ce, when so many other characters have endured change after change. But I guess that wouldn't be something he'd know anyways. More of a lolKoei thing. :/
