CATDOLL: The exclusive Chinese voice actor festival for "Voice of the Game" is unveiled

On December 27, 2015, the first reality show themed on voice actors in China, "Voice Survival Game", was finally launched amid the surprise and expectation of the industry. After experiencing passionate daily life, tearful quarrels, and brutal competition, the top three finally emerged. The portal was opened, and the contestants left the place of practice in the green mountains and clear waters and came to the prosperous Shanghai to challenge the final level, compete for the opportunity to study in Japan, and join Beidou Penguin Studio to become professional voice actors.

The first China Voice Actor Selection Competition "Voice Actor Soul" last arrived in Shanghai at the offline competition of CP16.5, which caused a stir due to the dispute between the "online dubbing circle" and "traditional dubbing". At the final, the organizer seemed to deliberately avoid the biased scores caused by the "dubbing faction". The judges were not only influential but also had distinctive styles. I wonder how the contestants will face it?

In the final of Voice Actor Soul, the on-site questions turned out to be an IP award ceremony?

The finalists of this competition have a luxurious lineup of topic partners, with various topic formats. The overseas animation copyright holder Lingbang exclusively authorized the "Gintama" theatrical version "New Translation of Red Cherry Blossoms" clips, Tencent Animation provided the well-received domestic original animation "Fox Spirit Matchmaker", as well as the voice actor drama adapted from the popular domestic 3D online game "Swordsman Love Online III", the domestic 3D martial arts adult animation "Painting Rivers and Lakes: The Bad Guys", and the domestic original novel platform "Impossible World"'s flagship boutique novel "Spirit Fragments"!

"Voice Actor Drama" was presented as a competition topic for the first time, stunning the Japanese guests

The concept of "voice actor drama" was first proposed by the famous domestic dubbing group Guanghe JiMu. The "voice actor drama" with the theme of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" performed by these dubbing masters has achieved great success. In this final, "voice actor drama" will be on stage as a competition topic for the first time. The top three contestants will serve as dubbing directors to test their overall control of the script. This should be the most difficult and most impressive dubbing competition in history, which made the Japanese guests on the scene full of praise and admiration.

In addition to enthusiastic audiences, the finals also saw many first-line dubbing directors and partner companies admiring the contestants' outstanding performances while looking for potential talent.

The star-studded event is both a competition and a grand ceremony for Chinese and Japanese voice actors

The evening party was held in Shanghai Qianshuiwan Cultural Center. The host of the evening party was Youwu Yueshan, the beautiful housekeeper of "Sound of the Game". The well-known singers Wu Se Shi Nan Ye and Er Shen also performed on stage, and the Japanese band THE HAPPY BIRTHDAYZ performed the theme song of Chinese anime! The quality of the evening party was remarkable compared with the two-dimensional industry.

Cultural crossover, voice actors becoming idols, is a dream and an advancement of the industry

Since the start of the 2015 China Voice Actor Selection Competition, more than 4,000 submissions have been received in three months, and the number of registered participants has exceeded 50,000. There are a total of 6 offline competitions, all of which are full, and the total number of online promotional videos and video highlights will soon exceed one million.

This massive competition has drawn people's attention to the dubbing industry, which is often behind the scenes in the animation industry. There will be controversy in any competition, and these controversies all express people's attention and expectations for the dubbing industry and the two-dimensional culture. I believe that after receiving many pertinent opinions, the "Voice of the Soul" finals judge Ye Qing said, "The era of voice performance has arrived." Japanese guests from Japan's 81 Voice Actor Agency and the International Voice Actor Training Association also lamented that "China is a place full of surprises, and I hope to develop more cooperation."

This is the final chapter full of sincerity and dreams. Among these flowers and young people with dreams, who will make it to the end and step into the international arena? On January 28, you will witness this historic moment.
