Casting, Anime and Exploring Your Performance with Rawly Pickens - Season 2 Episode 6

Rawly Pickens is an established audio engineer, dialogue editor, voice director, voice actor and casting director with a huge list of credits under his belt including Dragon Ball Z, Bedevilled and more recently Moriarty the Patriot featuring our very own Rachael Naylor. Rawly outlines the differences between anime and video game productions and he relays the importance of acting and sight reading skills for both genres. He talks us through the casting process for an anime project - from writing the sides (the excerpts from a script that actors are given to learn for an audition) to listening to the auditions and choosing the callbacks. We also discuss what an actor can do to make an audition really stand out. Rawly proclaims that the anime world is exploding and the current climate reminds him of the indie film boom of the 1990s. He tells us why more people in the industry are using home studios to record remotely and how networking is now more important than ever before.
