#CDawgVA #Japan #VoiceActing - Zábava
The balls on this man for trying to learn voice acting in a language you're not proficient at, amazing stuff Connor.
I'm also in awe at the lunacy of this lad...
A turning Japanese girl yeah that's elite
i once became a fan translator for a manga when i was still learning japanese, so glad its been re translated properly
reminds me of that meme about the champion of french scrabble
@@absurddive absolutely....but the balls......the balls man...
"A date with your mother. I hope you'll forgive me."
Yup, the lines were custom-crafted for Connor, all right.
Yup, Meilyn really knows him well lol
That's like "I do ur mom" in the most polite british way possible
@@duo3827 no one asked KEKW Go back to the washing machine before step bro gets home
Yup xD
@@duo3827 get out of my house, you're scaring me.
The VA sensei made me tear up a bit giving all the encouragement for people to pursue their dreams :')
thanks Connor for giving us an insight into the VA world in Japan!
He's was so sweet and supportive!
Studio Director was like "Yeah this industry is super competitive, git gud if you want to step foot in studios" lol
あなたをとても愛しています
yea and the other students also seemed to be encouraging and polite...
Let's just be absolutely clear on this: Connor's reason for struggling is 100% his basic level of Japanese. It is obvious to everyone that he has both the confidence, the ability to enliven a character and the ability to perform, in voice acting, if only he knew the language better. I mean, the tone of that man's voice is maaade for VA work. So deep and smooth, wow.
It's like the video of that homeless guy that was so good as a radio announcer, he was instantly given a job and is doing really well now. Not that Connor looks like a homeless person... well, actually...
"It's not like he's a homeless person himself right? Wait a minute..."
Pppffff 😂
well yeah, he IS already a voice actor after all
@@wesleywyndam-pryce5305 That's what I was thinking the whole time! While not being very good at the language due to it not being his native language, he is still really good at pretty much everything else.
@Jonathan Jones he's a professional English VA, so you're just wrong.
This mad lad really just made himself "the foreign exchange student who shows up halfway through the school year."
Classic Connor, always the anime protagonist.
This season’s connor is something else!!
TERVE!!!
Only he's actually trash taste's known antagonist 😔
Or maybe the side character rival of the protagonist that the audience likes more than the actual protagonist.
Connor's got the "protagonist" chromosome.
He's just built different
The teacher being like "Ok let's make Connor do this" and then manically laughing LMAO
*maniacally laughing.
@@rikudou947 manically is also a word so he’s technically not wrong
@@shoda9939 That’s not the point. He wasn’t laughing “manically”, he was laughing maniacally.
@@rikudou947 nah they got similar meanings
@@rikudou947 thats your opinion
50:10
Connor: "Screaming is okay, crying is okay, but...laughing was always so hard to learn"
Me: "Are you okay Connor D:"
It's the British in him
I think he might be a butterfly
@@epsilonnull6193 LMAOO
Watching this channel is like torturing yourself with 2nd hand embarrassment sometimes… that when I grab a friend and we all suffer together
I remember reading somewhere that ppl think crying is difficult to act out, but it is actually laughing that's hard to portray right.
I mean we've always known the voice acting scene in Japan is BRUTAL, but seeing it this up and close..... a SHEESH and a YIKES dude!! They're all SO good! Yet 90-95% of them go underappreciated, but only because the remaining 5-10% are just THAT MUCH better!! So crazy o_o
Then sometimes even the 5-10% are struggling getting big offers because most of the older popular ones are getting those offers. Well unless if they are just better then they'll be selected over those.
@@FrankToasty exactly, it's basically just a struggle and a half of an industry =|
But I guess then again, what industry isn't, y'know?
An industry between newest and settled where people can just make it but the worst problems of starting have been solved?
Mhm
@@TheMindofagenius1 Cruel and deep but true, well said sir
That voice teacher who asked everyone to slow down on their tongue twisters for Conner was so considerate.
Yes
@today was a good day he didnt, stop spaming your religious believe, its rude
Teachers in Japan are so fucking nice lmao
@homiecyde Unfortunately, not everybody can be nice but that's how our world works smh
At least most teachers in Japan are genuinely nice and polite
@today was a good day hmmm
Connor thinks he's embarrassing himself, meanwhile realizing he knows WAAAAYYY more japanese than i thought he did, amazing!!
Not surprising. He lives there.
I'm betting he's ok at conversation, day to day, but reading and writing he's probably got a while to go.
Ikr!!!
Me shooked!
the dude downplaying himself for shits and giggles of hia viewer
I mean if you lived in Japan for over two years and the only words you know how to say in Japanese are konnichiwa, arigato, and sumimasen, you're doing something wrong lol.
Iirc he said on the trash taste podcast that he tries to learn Japanese a few hours in a week via someone teaching him. I forgot If he hired a teacher or if he goes to some sort of school
Connor: Tries Japanese tongue twisters in front of professional Japanese voice actors 😆
Me: who can't read a paragraph in my native language without stuttering 😐
what's your native language?
fuckin felt that on a spiritual level
Same
Same 😂
Dude I can't even remember how to speak or read my native language anymore. My native language is Tagalog btw
OK but why is no one talking about the other students nodding along as Conner read, silently supporting him? SO CUTE!!
Everyone knows voice acting is already hard af in ur own language and you voice acted in Japanese! Insane! Connor you did absolutely great 🥳😂
He can take pride in the fact that he is one of the only people in that building who could dub an English speaking character and then go to Japanese without it sounding engrish
The fact that he has the balls to speak in broken Japanese while his Japanese "classmates" are watching him is insane, I'd be embarrassed in no time
dude I don't even know how Connor is this talented haha
@oh no Bro stop this..... I'm Muslim but still it's not good to do cringy stuff with religion.
@@divinitygod6002 you are a muslim and call yourself “divinty god” i dont think you understand what Islam is
You gotta figure how to become the guy every studio calls on anytime they need a foreigner played, like legitimately you could single handedly eliminate "bad engrish" from the anime industry.
One thing! Just one thing! Please tell IT to me: WHY tf do I have so many fans even though no CZcamsr is unprettier than I am? WORLDWIDE!!!! WHY??? Tell me, dear ky
broooo that's so truuuueee!
I assume they just get someone already on the cast to do those lines. They're not gonna draw up a contract for one guy to come in to do three lines.
Aren't there is already one Japanese guy that speak English too? Although acting in English and speak English are different
The first thing I thought of was the Maid Dragon ep where Kanna goes to New York and it's populated entirely by Australians.
7:37 it might seem too simple, but this is honestly a really good advice. "If you fail, just keep smiling", it's something that a lot of people should do more. (not the failing part lol, but the smiling one)
Well failing is generally a natural part of the learning process when it comes to many things, so failure isn't necessarily a bad thing in most cases, so long as you're making a genuine effort to learn from it and improve.
sometimes you have to fail to learn, cause you be cant perfect right at the start, learning is a lifelong process its a cycle of failure and success.
true failure is only when you give up without even trying or doing your best at it.
51:38 I remember couple of Polish voice actors talking about how "back in the analog days" they had to be all there together in the booth, and that really allowed everything to feel much more natural. And now, when they record separately often times there's something slightly unnatural (that listener can pick up on) just because you're not actually talking with another person.
"Back in the analog days" it was also extremely rare to have fully dubbed shows in Poland. Movies, rarely, at least for kids (say - Disney movies or Hannah Barbara shows). Regular movies, anime shows? One guy voicing it. And I think the most "prolific" voice actor who voiced like most of 80-90s shows has passed away recently, so it's kind of an end of an era...
finally connor doing something he actually has experience in.

Cursed comments
hahaha yeah
this comment chain is cursed
It's really awkward to see Connor speaking Japanese brokenly while his other classmates are watching him lmao
I like how real she got, saying "this isn't that fake Japanese compliment thing" 👍
Can you please give me a timestamp? I could find it myself but this video is painful to watch
@@alexanderginger754 57:42 after connor’s question
I like that we don't have that here. Europeans can be brutally honest. (Comparatively and on average.)
@@tbk2010 theyre cold af
That part stood out to me too! Being overly positive or not upfront is part of Japanese culture and her saying that is refreshing to me. Makes me wonder how Japanese people think of their own culture and if they wanted to change in any way.
You are the king of ‘out of your comfort zone’ experiences. You’re so good at just facing the scary situations. I would have cried walking into that class having to read in front of a class and in a language I’m not confident in. You’re awesome man, you did so this was so fun to watch
I hope we can see a part 2 in a year or two, when conor is more confident with his japanese. This was a great and very insightful video, all the people seemed very nice and kind.
Truly has the potential
I love your pfp bro
@@zehanimohamedyoussef3736 RAK is best boy after all
Connor once again with the high budget quality content.
As Joey once said "HE DON'T MISS"
According to these bots, we clearly missed things
these bots are everywhere
Ikr, my guy picks quality over quantity
@@bestpriest2224 lol 😂
We live in a society where bots are top replys
This looks so HARD I literally can not fake a laugh. It's impossible and you're doing really well!
My fake laugh sound super fake 💀 i cant make it sound fr
Yarh me too . Specially Crocodile laugh in one piece 😅
No sht. Good that Connor made this video. Realy exposes that acting is not some bllsht like many morrons imagine it to be. Thats why sub is always will be better than dub.
@@Woodsaras Yeah, you just can't compare the effort Japanese people put into voice acting compared to voice actors in many other countries. There certainly are voice actors on the same level elsewhere, but they are rare.
I don't think faking a laugh is that hard, I can do it in many ways as well. It just feels natural to me, even if I fake it.
The teacher had such a soothing clear voice, I could listen to him for hours
I’ve never felt such an intense mixture of genuine admiration and second hand embarrassment than I did while watching this video.
The absolute balls on this man. Bruh.
actual balls of steel
I was introduced to Connor through trash taste but now I probably watch his content the most out of the boys. He just got so many interesting ideas and topics to explore.
fr, as well as connordawg and his streams. joey is great but tbh don't really dig his main channel, much prefer his second channel. and i would watch a lot more of garnt if i didn't care so much about spoilers and going in blind.
Same through Chris' channel I found Joey and Connor
Connor is just an interesting guy. He is also ready to fully embrace the cringe if the need arises.
Same
@@weirdstonk729 lol I was the opposite, I found chris from Trash Taste
The second hand embarrassment I got from Connor missing his very first line almost killed me inside. He took it like a champ, very cool.
I'm dying from his awkward laughs 😭
I have massive respect for Connor putting himself in difficult or awkward situations and powering through the cringe.
@@kimonisandi1435 Clear off
As a professional Introvert myself, I was having a second hand anxiety the entire class.
The whole video video I wanted to dig a hole into the ground and jump in it 😭
i have found my people
My heart was pounding and felt sick in my stomach when connor was in the class. I was so nervous for him but he did such a great job!!!!
Episode 1 of “That time I got reincarnated as a Voice Actor in Nippon” was fantastic! It’s great to see this type of content. I fee like a surprising amount of people have a deeper connection to voice acting than they realize. That little segment explaining why VA’s are so iconic in Japan really made me understand that a bit better.
WTF???
Still waiting for eps 2
I was literally opening chrome to google this because I thought that's anime even tho I watched 300+ titles
The day Connor finally master Japanese voice acting he'll be unstoppable. He will have the power of sub and dub on his side
If that happens, I hope Connor would be the voice actor for Johnny Joestar.
Guy is the avatar of anime voice acting.
🙉🙉🙉🙉
35:43 To those who watched the anime series “Shirobako” would easily recognize Studio T&T is the actual recording studio that the fictional ‘Studio R&B’ is based on. You can easily the settings of the lounge,the recording booth and the sound engineering station are rendered quite faithfully.
yooo that's so cool! I loved shirobako so thanks for this tidbit!
Found a new anime to watch!
Yooo
Oh no way, been a minute since I watched it so didn't click right away.
This is the shyest ive seen Connor, without his usual confident swagger but goddamn he's always so endearing and gracious
I always forget how awkward he is in a public setting compared to him basking in the glory of his JoJo room alone with a thousand people watching him
To be fair, I think Connor just doesn't want to be the loud, obnoxious foreigner in a japanese professional or public setting.
@@jackmayor3574 true
@@jackmayor3574 Indeed, there are enough Americans about to do that already. No need in adding to it.
This was probably one of the coolest videos you’ve made so far! It was so intriguing and insightful getting to experience the step by step production process and also awesome to see you in your own voice acting element, doing the thing you’re best at and truly shine! I can really tell you put an insane amount of effort into this!
yea facts - there's so much stuff that goes in the background of making an anime.
czcams.com/video/F3NWSrO1Qkw/video.html hello
honestly connor is outdoing himself alot these past few months, Prime example being his Cosplay video, Love this kind of videos Hope he keeps doing cool stuff
this man watches so many people i watch goddamn
Absolutely! I didn't even realize I was watching a 1-hour video about Connor trying professional voice acting and the whole behind the scenes of these pieces. I definitely enjoyed watching and laughing throughout the whole video. I loved it! 🥰
I respect these people to death but one thing to be said is that if any of those top VAs had to go in an American studio they would struggle just as much. "wait I'm alone in the booth?" Language, local costumes and culture would be such a huge barrier to overcome.
Add to the fact they have to match the tone of someone else for a scene made to suit someone else and match the visual cadence of a scene meant for someone else and it’s little wonder why dubbing us a bit hard
I think they are well aware of that fact. I feel like they have so much respect for Connor getting out of his comfort zone to do this.
Man that teacher was really good. He not only knows how to voice act but also how to teach (which many teachers suck at). Good man.
Not to mention his voice is smooth like fucking butter. wth.
That cute growl of her. I think I died and went to heaven. Im die, thank you forever.
Connor: I'm a professional voice actor I don't need to go back to school
Kaho: *I'm a regular here*
Connor: _Hey guys, I'm going back to voice acting school_
🤣🤣🤣
8:09 "here's connor, hahahah". Damn the comedic presence of this man is overwhelming
Dude, your Japanese has come so far in such a short time. I know barely nothing but it's obvious how different and advanced you've become in just the past year.
You can still tell he's a professional throughout it's just lots of Western Voice acting is actually pretty transient and solitary. I think the best performance comes w multiple actors in one studio reading it like a play but that is logistically difficult. It's how excellent stuff like Batman The Animated Series was
done.
The girl up front in the vocalization class is so supportive with Conner’s reading - nodding and seemingly wanting to cheer him on. So nice to see!
I noticed this as well, it was quite wholesome to see!
WTF???
ikr i noticed that too and it made me well up she seems so nice
@@Nightvss Yeah a very good comrade
Teacher: his voice is gentle isn’t it?
Connor: sorry it’s trash
😂😂I’m deaddd
It’s so insane Connor managed to get all of this going. Respect to him and his team for that.
45:27 Also Connor already mastered the art of fake laughing lmao
I tried Japanese voice acting before and it was really hard because they speak fast when they're speaking normally so I can relate to Connor's struggle in this video this really gave me the courage to keep trying
How did they treat you? I'm curious
In summary, if you want to become a voice actor in japan:
- Learn the basics of voice acting
- know your strengths and weaknesses
- have balls of steel
- know how to take criticism
- very FLUENT in japanese
- put in the work, prepare and practice
- Never give up and keep trying
In other words, when you take this job you really have to make sure you know what you are doing and your goal. I'm sure there is a lot more but I'm going to have to give that to the comments.
even though training to be a voice actor is as harsh as training to any other profession, i feel like training to be a voice actor is way more fun, specially when you have a nice and easy going teacher like Shusaku
Add a lot of luck to have any requests for the job.
It's so fucking hard to get a roll in Japan, it's painful
Don’t forget humility.
Probably have to be fairly attractive as well bcs of lookism
Balls Of Steel. OOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!! JOJO JOJO JOJO JOJO JOJO
Can we appreciate that Connor dove into learning voice acting in a language he's not fluent in? He did so well, and I love that he will always been willing to embarrass himself just to show up something really cool in Japan.
He's just doing it for the clicks and most his content is always "Fixing Voice Acting" crap, like dude your not so good that you can make things better. If he was just a fun go getter that didn't take himself seriously I'd like him more but I feel like he actually thinks he's better than most voice actors and that's just really pretentious.
Edit: Sorry if I rubbed some of you the wrong way, I'm in the minority and just have felt annoyed by his videos for the longest time. Critsim is fine, but "fixing" is just really pretentious.
Edit: I've since joined his discord to try and get over this feeling and lots of people there have made me feel better. His content is more to help and I do feel much more better knowing this and letting go of some Jeliousy and dislike myself.
@@mrmoviemanic1 sorry, low level bait. I appreciate that you actually tried tho, at least i got to know that you got nothing to do in your life and your pathetic attempt at least got a chuckle out of me
@@mrmoviemanic1 not a great bait. i give it a 2/10, maybe a 3/10 if i was feeling particularly gullible
@@mrmoviemanic1 is that not what being a youtuber is…getting clicks ? so you dislike him for being a normal youtuber and giving constructive criticism as a voice actor himself? interesting very interesting maybe next time
@@edz4prez204 I know I'm in the minority when I say all this and I did sound harsh there to be fair as I have no idea who he is in real life. I just don't like his takes and while I like that he tries I just don't feel he's any better at least not to the point where he can "fix" things.
Edit: I've joined his discord to get all these nasty feelings about him out. Yer I was quite jelious I feel and honestly if his content helps you all, then I'm glad.
Nichika-san's so cute. She's almost like a doll, and her voice is so gentle.
And that VA sensei is so inspiring. He really looks like he loves teaching others and helping them out!
I really like how in Connors's videos all interviews are him speaking in English and they answering casually in their language. It makes me forget that they are actually talking in Japanese. You are doing a great job with the videos
I wish I had a teacher like Shirakawa-san, the way he instructed Connor and the class was simply mind-blowing. Not only he adapted extremely well to having a foreigner who barely speaks japanese, he was also considerate, professional and incredibly helpful in general. Just look at the gestures he makes with his hands all the time, so that he can convey his words better. Very cool video, props to everyone who made it possible.
Feels like iit doesnt it?
@@nightchicken283 what's iit?
Mad respect to Connor for this holy shit. He's what? two years into learning Japanese (his third language?) and is really putting in effort to voice act on a professional level in front of native speakers and aspiring seiyu. And later voice acting along side a professional seiyu to the script of an anime. Great Job my guy!
The second language is the hardest one
@@Zyzzkxx Tbf his first two languages were Welsh and English which he picked up from a young age. Japanese though is not as easy to pick up especially when youre an adult.
@@jvtps765 and to add, learning japanese after english makes it harder also because of the sentence structure.
Well if you learned your 2nd or 3rd language in a young age its very easy... But your 3rd or 4th language its hard because you either couldn't put time and energy to it
not always 2nd
some people have multiple "first language"
it's the first language that you have to actually study rather than just live with
Never in my life have I wanted Joey to kick down the class door and bail this man out as much as I did while watching this video. Connor really has a steel coat😂😂
It's feels like a documentary, tbh. Excellent job, Connor!
Going through uncomfortable situations is important in life but this... how did I endure this secondhand embarrassment? You are a brave, brave man...
Bruh secondhand embarrasment just hit me like a Truck
@@sebastianrosenheim6196 I see I'm not the only one in the comments with the video playing in the background so I don't have to experience it as badly lmao
I need a video to eat my food with and I had to stop. I was choking, but watching it without the food was a blast
isnt that just connor's entire channel tho? mans went thru uncomfortable shit for our entertainment

Hope that people don’t think Connor laughing after messing up or making a mistake is an insult. It’s a defence mechanism for the most of us.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is either insecure or never made a mistake infront of people
Human nature ig, if anybody think otherwise lol. Thats not a human
So I'm late to this video. But dude, connor is so amazing for putting himself out there. Everyone was so supportive and patient as well. Wonderful video. Keep it up!
You can definitely tell that in a way, this was Connor's love letter to voice acting and you can really see his passion and admiration of it come out during the interviews! Don't beat yourself up too much over mistakes, progress is still progress! You did a great job with this one, Connor
WTF???
As someone who's tried learning a foreign language... I feel how Connor feels. I've noticed the teachers always encourage you no matter how many mistakes you make.
@@EleegY Life happened Corona happened. Will continue after some of the life unhappens.
American, right?
I'll try very hard not to laugh at your remark 🤭
Same. My foreign language teacher is very nice. I knew that my pronunciation are wrong but he told me it's really good and keep encouraging me.
Tbh living in a country where you already speak it's language is way better than living in a country and you barely get by that's what I'm living through i know 3 one being my native english and the country's language
HOLY Shit!!! this looks so hard to do my god im shocked you even went there to do this, this must have been very difficult. your amazing man idk how you managed to do so well, your passion for japan and its culture
Jesus. I keep having to pause the video every 10 seconds to calm my second-hand anxiety attacks. You’ve got balls of steel, man. 😰
Also, side note, Shusaku Shirakawa seems like he’s genuinely one of the best human beings on the face of the earth.
I would like to give a credit to Connor' japanese. He often says that his japanese is terrible but he is very confident while using it. He can easelly interact with native speaker and most important he is not afraid to make a mistake. Most common problem of people who learn new language is being afraid of making a mistake. Good job!
He’s our version of Natsuki. Confidence is everything.
Tbh he is neither confident nor good, but he’s got the spirit. I appreciate his willingness to fight through discomfort, he puts himself in extremely difficult snd uncomfortable situations.
Obviously he doesn’t really have time so I can’t put it against him, but his Japanese is definitely not good, he can barely put a sentence together, barely conversational, and seems well aware of the fact.
We should definitely encourage his trying, but lets not lie to ourselves and him. He isn’t good.
@@eresoup7229 see that the thing his Japanese is good. Because he can actually use it. Unlike 90% of people learning Japanese
@Jordan Conner no man it’s just as bad as any beginner. You can get to his level in a month or two most likely with moderate immersion (watching movies/shows, youtube videos, anime without subs, generally content for real Japanese people)
@@eresoup7229 i would argue that his Japanese is actually pretty good. Certainly not great, but it seems that he can get the message across using what he is got which is evidence of him having decent pronunciation and a somewhat decent vocabulary.
Man literally had the balls to go through this whole process without even being enough jouzu at nihongo, mad respect to Connor for being so brave!
thank you so much for going through this and showing us what's going on behind the scenes :D
and I love how supportive and encouraging the other voice actors and actresses were :3
Mad props for learning voice acting in a foreign language, Connor! You killed it
I felt so cringe imagining myself trying to do voice acting in another language in acting class with other students, that I had to mute the audio for that part. The balls on this man for going out of his comfort zone so much and so often, kudos to you Connor.
Lets not pretend he would do good in his own language, lol. Love this video btw..he seems like a realy good dude
If i knew the language fluently i’d nail it my voice is really bendable

Cannur putting the VA in cdwagVA to good use lol
Megalo Box Nomad vibes
I can finally and proudly call him CDawgVA
Shouldn't they creater do something about these bots
The first and second parts remind me so much of my japanese class back in middle school. I was a transfer student and I didn't have japanese lesson in my previous school. So when I enter the new school, everyone already learned japanese for 1 and a half year. I was stumped at everything in the first day. But at least I understand some words cuz I watched tons of anime ever since I could walk. It was very embarrassing, everyone reading and having some tests meanwhile I'm struggling at writing あいうえお, but fun at the same time.
Half a year later, the teacher made me teach my fellow classmates japanese. I was grinding hard on the lessons back then, afraid I would get left behind but instead I run too fast.
This was such a W. Your documentary videos are always the best and I am so happy with your content! Keep up the good work, my beautiful chokedawg!
Man, Connor. You're crazy ambitious to have attempted this. Props. There's a base-level concept being proven in this showcase of what it takes to be a voice actor (or really, to achieve any endeavor): talent is not enough, you gotta put in the time to learn and practice. I like that Japanese culture has a baked-in expectation for every individual to keep learning, no matter how proficient they've become - when everyone is a student, then everyone is unified in their purpose, moving in the same direction despite any disparity in their present levels of ability.
i wanna beat up every single bot comment
Yes and the same principles apply for many other occupations, example musicians. You can’t get good from talent alone, it takes hours of practice and true dedication.
This is fucking fantastic, especially as someone who’s interested in Japanese voice acting (not me doing it lol). Saw the notification and thought it’d be like a 15-20 minute video but this man gave us a whole ass documentary ❤️
Didn't know how long this was before watching it all. Was so well put together and edited that it felt like that hour was much shorter!
Congrats Connor! I can tell a lot of effort was put into this video and it was absolutely worth it! Your content is amazing and the quality is outstanding. Keep up the good work. We love it!
Connor is seriously so admirable. Trying out all these things in a foreign country he truly has way more guys and confidence than I ever could
This hour-long banger definitely didn’t miss. If anything, give yourself more credit, Connor! For someone who just moved to Japan a couple years ago and to be able to keep up with folks that’ve been in the school much longer than you, I think it’s worth giving yourself a few pats on the back.
Right isn’t this his 3rd language? I think he is doing well to read and speak
BIG FAXXX!!!
46:13 I don't know what's cuter, the cute growling or Connor's laugh 😂
omg I didn't notice that, they are both so cute lol
@Jk Lol not everyone is a guy lol
@@i-man872
Even if OP isn't, guys can call guys cute lmao. Encourage homie love
That raw xD
LOL
This video was very enlightening and I want to send my thanks, it's very much appreciated what you have done and what you continue to do. Thank you Connor
Bro, singing is a skill. Some of the most legendary opera singers had no "talent" for it; they just worked their butts off to develop the skill. Time in is proficiency gained!
The voice teacher seemed like the nicest person ever and so helpful. He wanted you to learn and grow, without making you feel like you can't do it.
Also, after he encouraged you, Connor, your reading was a lot better! That's awesome.
Sorry to be a prick but voice teachers have to act like that. It is their job to do all kinds of things so their clients will improve and avoid things that would stunt their growth, or else their clients would give them bad reviews, damaging their reputation and thus kicking them out of business.
I just wish all businesses actually care like them since there are some businesses who do not care about their clients because they know it will not put them out of business.
@@retrictumrectus1010 realistically that's how all schools are supposed to be though, and all teachers are not as kind as this one was. It's definitely worth commenting on how helpful he was, even if it is expected!
Oh Look!!!
CDawg is actually VA.
Also, I'm glad that this channel wasn't forgotten.
Only for fans over 18 years old

@boluga That video really makes me miss the public dislike option.
I wouldn't be surprised if Connor actually forgot about this channel, his second channel is doing so well
@boluga cake
Bruh you guys are so damn ingrate he's been making content like crazy from the past 2021 to now posting long well edit videos every week on his main channel he has a second channel, trash taste, a lot of collabs, voice acting and streaming almost every day this man works really hard, he said he would take a break from youtube only during this month of january 2021 and instead he said he would try to stream every day... be patient he needs a break every now and then.
I really like these kinds of videos. it really helps give a insight on how things works in va community. i really hope you make more videos like these in the future!!! i also like how everyone was very supportive and give you a mood booster when you mess up on your lines/script.
You know how English usually sounds in anime....that's how I imagine Connor sounded to everyone in that class in this video ;-;
I love seeing this side of Connor. He's very vulnerable and open with this video. You can really tell and feel every emotion that was going through his body, and more importantly, how happy and appreciative he was getting to be there and meet everyone. I'm happy he's fulfilling his dreams and I hope he becomes as successful as he hopes. Good luck to him! 😊👍👌
I really admire the professionalism of the studio members here, while also being open to Connor to come into their space. Cool video and my brain is now bigger
Seeing all the effort going into it, this makes one appreciate the Voice Acting even more.
GREAT video!
Love these hr long doc style vids, in depth and informative
I love how Connor introduced himself as a CZcamsr to the other people instead of as a voice actor.
Connor comfortably able to speak little bit of Japanese makes me proud of him. He's improved so much
this video is so extremely motivating, i mean he’s struggling and everyone’s being so kind. 🥰
This would be super cool to get an update on 2 years later. I'm sure Connor's conversational Japanese Is much better than it was when this was originally filmed by now. It would be cool to see how much he's improved because of that.
" Obviously, I can't just turn up and voice an anime..."
- He says, after turning up in Japan and voicing an anime character. 🤣
I wanted to say following you these last two and a bit years have been so interesting.
I think I first subbed around your "I moved to Japan video". I love how you go out and film your self trying experiences that are outside of your comfort zone.
Feels inspiring how I can see your dying from British culture cringe but still voice acting in a language that you only started learning two years ago.
The production quality of these videos is basically TV quality of BBC productions which is also awesome :D
Sir, what are you doing here?
@@uberdegradation6959 He often shows up in videos of members of the "Trash Taste Cinematic Universe".
Of course being friends with Gant always brings the BBC experience.
"BBC productions" hmmmmmmmmmm. did garnt knock your door?
I have very bad anxiety and watching this has reminded me just how badly that anxiety truly is. I give you infinite credit for this ep!
すごーい！漢字も正確に読めるし、ムチャクチャスゴイ‼️マジでgoodjobです！
Sometimes i wish youtube kept the old star rating system, this is undoubtedly a 5 star rating video if i ever saw one. The amount of care and work you've putted making this video connor is truly amazing, also you've really improved your japanese to even be able to try voice acting in your third language. Great video Connor, massive W !!!!
Damn Connor, I’ve been following your content for years and your Japanese voice acting is actually really good, it blew my mind.
No one else here?
@@ako5288 no one needs to
@@yenahh6954 You don’t need to
Found you again
I am early here eh
Big respect to you Connor. Even though it was very difficult you pushed through and showed how amazing animes are voiceover. I think it was very cool seeing how you continued to push forward even though you messed up time to time. Even the Directors, Teachers, and Students cheered you on. Even I was cheering for you. You did awesome and be proud of yourself! Thanks for the educational and funny video. You were great!!!👍
I feel like this is one of your best videos to date. You clearly put a ton of work into it, and lots of courage. Even though you're clearly struggling with voice acting in a foreign language, it's amazing to see how good your japanese is. It's rarely seen on other videos.
Connor Narrating his own videos: Listen to the silken tones of my voice that could caress an angel's bottom...
Connor Narrating ramen narration for an actual VA class: My name is Hans Moleman and I'm 38 years old, please kill me, the pain is too great...
I love how Connor acts like a real Japanese, being humble, giving several bows to everyone, and saying sumimasen so much😂
he doesn't have the vocab to act any different i guess
He has to, you need to adapt to the culture of the country you live in
@@Amalia19 not in America bb 😎😎😎😎
@@Amalia19 not in American we do anything we want lmao
That's a good and bad thing at the same time.
You're free of restrictions but at the same time people can be rude or even a jerk and no one can complain about it.
If you ever try to be rude to others in Japan, people will immediately stay away from you and you'll get secluded almost instantly.
The seiyuus sound so good in raw setting. Like literally had some goosebumps the way they talk. Thanks Connor for the video!
I am so glad that my youtube recommended you! I just started watching emily, daidus and you for the last week. I know I'm late to the party that is your channels but I am very glad I have been introduced to your channel specifically. I have had a dream of being a voice over actor for years but couldnt make it happen yet due to my life getting in the way. I have only done theater in my local area for years but always have think I lack skills. But on stage I am a totally different person. I enjoy myself in this type of work and express myself more than I ever do anywhere else! This last week I have watched your videos on Voice acting and it inspired me to further my goal to be one! You have an amazing voice and talent! I hope to become one day as good as you! And I will try my best to use your advice greatly in my life! Thank you Connor!
