Dub Talk Interviews: John Swasey

Dub Talk Interviews: John Swasey

Author: dubtalkpodcast June 30, 2017 Duration: 26:28

Time for a first for the Dub Talk podcast! At PortCon Maine, we were able to have a wonderful last minute opportunity! In addition to the release of our Alice & Zoroku episode, this week, Dub Talk delved into the mind behind the voice of title character Zoroku; Mr. John Swasey!

Special thanks to John Swasey for agreeing to take part at the last minute, as well as PortCon Maine for helping accommodate us! You can follow John on twitter @swapmonster and PortCon @PortConMaine!

IMPORTANT EDITOR'S NOTE: During the interview, there were a couple interruptions that occurred and we did the best we could to eliminate them in the final episode. However, there is one that remained consistent during the episode. A convention goer with tourettes was present in the room next to us and was making and a loud squealing-like noise. This was something that we were unable to remove in the audio. While we do apologize for this, we do ask that you remain respectful of the individual con goer.

Ever find yourself wondering how a particular line was delivered in the studio, or which voice actor just absolutely nailed a challenging scene? Dub Talk digs into those details. This isn't just a checklist of what's new; it's a conversation about the craft and character behind the English adaptations of anime. We get into the performances that bring favorite roles to life, discussing the nuances that make a dub feel authentic or fall flat. You'll hear us break down episodes and films, talking about directorial choices, script adaptations, and the occasional brilliant or baffling casting decision. It's for anyone who appreciates the art of the dub, from seasoned fans to those just curious about what happens after the original recording booth. Tune in to the Dub Talk podcast for thoughtful, often lively reviews that go beyond the subtitles. We're here to talk about the voices you know, the ones you're about to discover, and the work that goes into making an imported story feel like it was spoken just for you.
