Today on: Meeting Voice Actors!
Sonny Strait!
Uh... Sonny who??
This was my first reaction too but after meeting him I was very glad I didn't miss meeting him!
God what a horrible picture
Sonny does the voices of Krillin in Dragon Ball Z and Usopp from One Piece. He does other voices as well such as Mizuzu from Ouran Host Club. He directs for Funimation and he's also a comic book artist, although at this point he just does coloring.
Ray is the biggest One Piece fan ever and, of course, he grew up with Dragon Ball Z so he was super psyched to meet him. While I'm excited to meet any voice actor, I was a little more focuses on Vic. That is until we got to out first panel with Sonny.
First off, he's hilarious. Like most VA's he's an actor first and his improv is astounding. But more that that, he's an inspiration.
He pretty much revived Ray's passion for, well, everything. It got him thinking above his horizons. I even recorded good bits of his panels to play later when we really needed those words of encouragement.
He inspired us all to just do what we love and don't limit yourself to just one talent. If you are good at art and writing don't just do one, do both! It actually inspired me to get back to my writing and drawing which I used to do all the time. But my main passion will always be cosplay. He also made me want to explore voice acting myself (I know, its cliche).
Anyway, that's about it without repeating myself. On the last day he was too tired at his last panel to actually talk about anything so he just drew everyone a picture of which ever favorite character of ours that he voiced.
I got Misuzu of course
