Anime Frontier, Cortez donned two Chainsaw Man cosplays: the titular character, Denji and Beam, a character with a shark devilhead. "Most my cosplays are masked characters and I don't often show my face on the internet," Cortez said. "So when I talk to someone at the con and they start realizing I'm responsible for all of these cosplays they're familiar

“Oh my god, yeah we are.”

Lindsay Seidel:

“Oh yeah, one hundred percent.”

Ryan Colt Levy:

“There's so much heart and nuance and it's not just ‘go for an easy laugh.’ It's about really getting the moments right and there'll be times it will take a few days on the tiniest of reactions because it's like, still gotta get that one layer to it ... and as someone who loves this so much, and he [Mike McFarland] knows that I feel so safe with him. And I feel so grateful that we have someone who cares as much as we do about making this special. So we're really lucky for this team.”

How did y'all get your career started in voiceover? Is there any advice you can give for for hiring or getting themselves into professional work auditions for voice actors who are attending college?

Mike McFarland

“The only thing I'll throw out as far as a really quick non esoteric answer is D Bradley Baker's website. It has tons of information, which is just https://iwanttobeavoiceactor. com/. Some people think it's like a cop-out answer, but it's like, it's something you could take with you, you can look it up and he can research it and look through it. And he updates it all the time. And it's all correct. It's from multiple perspectives, plus ZONE as the spearhead guide on the whiteboard.”

Sarah Wiedenheft: It’s literally like the encyclopedia for us.”

Mike McFarlnd “Yeah it doesn’t matter if you're newer or if you're professional. There's so much, if I had discovered that when I was like 16 or 17 I would have been like ‘What is this? How does this exist? This is free?’”

Ryan Colt Levy:

“It’s funny because I will recommend it to a lot of people and I get a look because of just how it's phrased and, I'm just like, trust me, just look at it.”

Mike McFarland

“Yeah, I swear to you, it’s just the best tool.”

Lindsay Seidel

“We’ve put out the tools for y’all.”

Ryan Colt Levy:

“But Mike is right. It's very much like we all have a different story. I was a musician. I mean, where I came from, I was obsessed with film as a kid. I wanted to be a director and actor and on camera or theater, all this stuff. I never thought voiceover was even a route for me. I was a musician in bands for almost 20 years, and I thought that was my life, and then I moved to LA and things shifted around. I was able to rekindle my love with acting and just took classes again and literally shot short films on camera. The director was a voice actor and just said ‘hey kid you're so good at this job.’ And I said I don't have a reel yet, you know, I know there are certain avenues to be a professional, so he was like, here’s a producer reel. So in that and, then like Mike said, I literally just started emailing different places knocking on doors. Being like ‘Hi, here's my stuff, I’m new, maybe like you put me on a roster or maybe an audition, y’know no biggie,’ like it was kind of expecting I've never hear from them or anything. And now I voice for them yeah. It’s also like you know, respecting also that it's not just you showing up it's all of these other people. With different jobs and things that need to be respected of their time and energy and all that and you know, just kind of going in and not expecting anything but wanting to give everything and just hoping for the best. But there's room for new people all the time. So something we think is part of the beau-

Earning its place among shōnen manga for some of the best fights in anime, Jujitsu Kaisen was written and illustrated by Gege Akutami in 2018. Pushing huge milestones in 2021 for its success as an anime, it follows the unnatural story of Yuji Itadori, played by Adam McArthur in the English dub, and classmate Nobara Kugisaki, played by Anne Yatco. The Mercury was privately invited along with “Manga Brownies” to co-interview both lead stars about their experience as voice actors and on the show.

What do you feel is the importance of having an internet or online presence in creative work?

Anne Yatco:

“I used to think it was unimportant. That was when I had no internet presence. As someone who, I suppose, gained internet presence more recently during the pandemic, I can see where in this world, where content comes out so fast and people are so fervent in their enjoyment of the material with each other in following forms, to see actors also be passionate about those projects with them. I think fans really appreciate that.”

Adam McArthur:

“I kind of feel like maybe it's just devil’s advocate, [but] some of my favorite voice actors, Fred Tavish or Scott Meadville, don't post on anything. And they work all the time. So it's like what is it about? Can it be advantageous for someone who's like streaming on Twitch so that people know when you're streaming and know what you're up to? Totally. But like, I don't know. I don't think it's necessary. I mean, there's something really awesome about networking in person. Definitely, you know, face to face with people.”

Both of you have very prestigious resumes and experienced talent portfolios. Can either of you provide insight to what’s helped you develop such successful careers?

Anne Yatco:

“Aw, well thank you.”

Adam McArthur:

It is hard, you know. There's that voice of “you'll never work again” after every single job. You get impostor syndrome — it’s a real thing and it’s very loud. Even for people who have been working, I mean … I've been voice acting for about 24 years. My first job was 24 years ago, and I'm still like, “Who knows if I'll get any jobs next year”? But yeah, it's about just kind of stopping and stepping back and being grateful.

Anne Yatco:

The other thing is that, you know, we've been lucky to have things on our resume that people know, that people are like, “Oh, that's a cool role”. I like to tell people I won the lottery a couple of times. And that's not to say that there aren't countless other voice actors who are working like every day, you know, every week, doing all kinds of stuff, making a living full time as actors who maybe don't
