Stephanie Wittels, a relatively new comer in the anime voice acting business talks to us about herself, anime, and her sudden rise in the anime voice acting industry in just over a year. Stephanie is currently doing voice over for ADV Films and has the lead roles in Xenosaga The Animation and Welcome to the NHK. Interview is in an audio response format.

• As one of the newest and fastest movers in the anime voice acting business, can you please tell us a bit about yourself?

• How did you get into voice acting, and who was the first character you portrayed in your debut?

• You’ve only been in the industry in just little over a year and you’re already portrayed lead and supporting roles, how does it feel to suddenly accomplish these feats, and were you expecting something like this to happen right away?

• Does your experience in stage acting help you in any way with your voice acting, and in what way?

• Since you’re new in the industry, how do you prepare yourself for a role and how do you keep up with all of them?

• How did it feel landing the lead role in Xenosaga The Animation, one of the most anticipated anime series to come out this year?

• Were you aware that Xenosaga has a cult following in the gaming industry, and did that put any pressure on you when playing Shion?

• In Welcome to the NHK, you’re playing a character that’s totally immersed in the world of anime and otaku. Were you aware that the art form can have a variety of subjects from kid shows to adult themes and in between? What was your initial impression on that and were you an anime fan in general?

• You’ve played characters in the past, present, and future. If you could travel in time once, where would you go, what would you do and why?

• Any embarrassing moment during recording, or have any directors ever made fun of you during recording sessions?

• Do you foresee yourself doing more voice acting in the future?

• Stephanie, thank you for your time, but before we let you go, is there anything you would like to say to the fans out there?
