While being signed to a big talent agency is both an accomplishment and an opening of the doors to a career that can, potentially, be a really good one, there are other options for seiyuu when it comes to management.

Smaller or independent talent agencies can provide a more balanced management experience and, at times, are the solution to the low pay that seiyuu get when signed by big talent agencies.

In this episode let's talk about a couple of independent seiyuu talent agencies.

Being represented by a talent agency can open doors for seiyuu, especially early down in their career. And throughout their career, being signed to a talent agency brings clout to both sides.

Regardless if seiyuu join big talent agencies or smaller agencies launched by seiyuu that were through with receiving miserable pay for their work, the truth is that there are more seiyuu signed to talent agencies than freelance.

Let's talk about some of the biggest seiyuu talent agencies in Japan.

Much has changed in the seiyuu industry since the 90s. Some things for the better, others for the worst. From not showing their faces to having to showing them in order to get famous even down to what is now expected of newcomers, the voice acting industry in Japan is almost unrecognizable from the 90s up until now.

In the previous episode, you and I got to know the insights from popular seiyuu Megumi Ogata about the changes and how she sees those impacting today’s generation of seiyuu.

In this episode let’s check what Kouchi Yamadera feels has changed in the industry.

That the seiyuu industry has been changing in the last couple of years is a given. Fans, especially those that have been supporting seiyuu for a couple of years or even those more curious or sensitive to it will notice those changes.

But what do seiyuu themselves have to say about these changes? And how did 2020 almost completely ruined the lives of seiyuu?

In the past couple of years, male seiyuu have been impressing everyone with their singing skills.

Some of them are on a jaw-dropping high level of skill and as such have made solo debuts but there is still a whole lot of talent that is not worried about making a solo debut or has been more active in 2D music projects and yet, they have been impressing everyone with their performances in cover projects.

In this episode, let’s talk about some of the cover projects that seiyuu have been a part of and some of the most iconic performances.
