We are pleased to announce the launch of "TRY VOICE ACADEMIA".

Condensed "on-site knowledge" cultivated at the forefront of production and casting.

Taking a step beyond the traditional educational model that only "teaches acting".

Aims to reach a state where students are "in demand on-site and can work professionally" in just 6 months.

This is a new era of voice actor education program.

Don't Give Up on Your Dreams. Facing the "Invisible Walls" That Aspiring Voice Actors Encounter

The fields where voice can be utilized, such as anime, games, narration, and video distribution content, are expanding year by year, and the number of people aiming to become voice actors continues to increase. However, there are still two major challenges in the current educational environment.

Geographical, temporal, and economic hurdles (concentration in urban areas)

Many full-fledged voice actor educational institutions are concentrated in urban areas, making it difficult for residents of rural areas to bear the "high costs of moving and living" and the burden of "long-distance commuting." Furthermore, working adults often find it difficult to "balance work and study," forcing them to give up on their aspirations.

The reality of "no work even if you're good" (overemphasis on technique)

Many educational institutions tend to focus on "technical instruction" such as reading scripts accurately and acting. However, in actual auditions and casting sessions, acting ability is a given, and beyond that, comprehensive qualities such as "approach to the work," "ability to respond to direction," and "self-production skills," as well as business acumen, are major factors in being chosen.

TRY VOICE ACADEMIA addresses these challenges through "online accessibility" and "a curriculum that incorporates the perspective of those who choose," working to create an environment that connects students to the industry from anywhere in the country, even while they are working.

Why Do They Get "Chosen"? Key Strengths of TRY VOICE ACADEMIA

In addition to learning at the school, we have established a system to advance careers.

A curriculum to learn "how to become a voice actor" calculated backward from the perspective of "those who choose."

The instructors are professionals who not only stand in front of the microphone as current voice actors but also work daily as sound directors, making casting and directing decisions. They directly convey to students the "real evaluation criteria on-site" that are difficult to obtain through technical instruction alone, such as "Why is that voice actor chosen?" and "What kind of behavior earns trust on-site?"

A "6-Month Roadmap" and Individual Evaluations to Progress Towards Your Goals

To ensure students don't lose sight of their learning progress, the curriculum is structured into two steps.

Not Denying Existing Education, but Offering a "Third Option" to Broaden Possibilities

TRY VOICE ACADEMIA aims to:

Not to deny traditional voice actor vocational schools and training centers.

To present a new option: "There is not just one path to becoming a voice actor." We aim to be a compass that guides people who have been unable to take the first step towards their dreams due to their location, age, current job, or financial situation.

In the future, we aim to contribute to the development of the entire voice actor industry and the cultivation of diverse talent by expanding our graduate community, providing tips for collaboration with on-site production companies, and further enhancing our career support system.
