Yuri Lowethal at Youmacon 2016

Sasuke Uciha (Naruto), Simon (Gurren Lagann) and Ben Tennyson (Ben 10) are a paltry sampling of the numerous popular shows that Yuri has voiced for. We talk about Mad Max Fury Road, martial arts, Ninja Scroll, Dr. Who, charitable causes, steampunk, noir influences and many more topics in this engaging interview.

I always strive to create a fun and engaging interview for my guests. However, when the guest and I click right from the beginning, the real magic begins. Yuri Lowenthal was, by far, one of my favorite interviews of the year (and of all time)!

Todd Haberkorn at Youmacon 2016

Watch what anime and video game voice actor Todd Haberkorn called one of his best interviews of 2016. Todd Haberkorn’s list of roles are so numerous that I wouldn’t know where to begin. Let’s try Natsu from Fairy Tale and Ling Yao from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood to name a few. Learn more about Todd’s non-anime background as we discuss: his favorite concert, a tribute war with Vic Mignona, his music album, his time on Hot Pepper Gaming and Jiminy Glick. Special bonus footage with a cameo and a message for Todd included.
