Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Kudo Shinichi's voice-over study
A: There's really no exact number! It depends on your starting point, time commitment and comprehension. If you can keep practicing half an hour to an hour a day (recording + comparison + adjustment), you can get the hang of it in about 2-3 months, and some phrases won't be too out of place. However, if you want to reach the level of natural fluency and characterization, it is definitely a matter of "years" of continuous improvement. Don't be in a hurry, it's important to enjoy the process.
A: A muffled sore throat is definitely a warning sign! Stop immediately! Stop using your voice! Most likely, you're not vocalizing correctly (e.g., your throat is too hard) or you're practicing too hard. Give your voice a few days of adequate rest, drink plenty of warm water and don't talk during that time. When you've recovered, revisit your practice methods.Focus on checking that the larynx is relaxed and that there is enough breath support. When recording, pay special attention to whether or not you have the harshness of "squeezing the voice". If it occurs again and again, it is best to find a professional teacher or materials to systematically learn the basics of vocalization.
A: Don't be so quick to dismiss yourself! Shinichi Kudo's vocal qualities (high midrange and high register, sense of clarity and confidence) are at the core, it's not necessary to sound exactly like Katsuhei Yamaguchi-sensei.The key is to get closer to that "juvenile feeling" and "calm reasoning" through techniques (mouth condition, breath, tone). A lot of great voice actors also differ greatly between their original voice and their characters. Tweak it with tools and methods first, tap into the possibilities of your own voice, and you might find a unique angle of interpretation.
A:Starting out, the cell phone microphone is perfectly adequate! Your main problem is "how to get the sound right", not "the equipment is not good enough". Poor cell phone recording? Use it to expose the problems with your voice (weak breath, slurred speech, distracting noises). Fix these basic problems first. Once you're able to consistently produce good quality sound, it's not too late to think about upgrading your microphone, and Audacity's noise cancellation feature can be a big help.
A: There are many resources! The most direct way is to watch the TV version of Detective Conan or the theatrical version (especially the episodes in which Shinichi appears), and read and imitate as you watch. Online search "Kudo Shinichi classic lines", "Kudo Shinichi reasoning lines", you can find a lot of text collation, B station, YouTube also has a lot of Shinichi's line clips or dubbing clips.It is recommended that you prioritize clips with original Japanese soundtracks, so that you can accurately mimic the intonation and pronunciation.
