Trendmo Trend × Ajay & Yang Tianxiang
The Realm of Sound The heavens and the earth are infinitely large
preface:
Behind the camera, they use their voices to depict the sorrows and joys of the world, high-pitched like swallowing mountains and rivers, shaking the mood, delicate like jiangnan smoke and rain, moisturizing all things. They are witnesses to stories and another form of "witness."
And at this moment, when they come out of a familiar work, sit across from you, and naturally and kindly talk about their preferences, talk about work, and talk about daily interesting things, the feeling is a bit incredible, and for a while I don't know who crossed into another space.
Because of love, do not think bitter
In a strange and bright world, fascinated by a sound, there is a sense of freedom that does not find a place and does not ask for a way back. When you feel the emotions presented by the voice with your heart, you will find that everything around you is quiet, which is the charm of the voice and the "magic" that the voice actor has become.
Before I was not very familiar with Ajie and Yang Tianxiang, I thought that the first time I heard their voices was in a radio drama, and the feeling at that time was "too close to the character, it is simply the character himself!" Later, after a search on the Internet, I learned that many of the dramas I had watched before had their voices "appeared in the camera". A person's voice can perform so many characters with different personalities, and they are very suitable, which makes people have to lament the "fairy operation" of the voice actors!
Although they only contribute their voices to the work, the voice actors have no less time and effort for the role than the actors in front of the camera. In the recording studio of several square meters, facing the screen and microphone, Ajie and Yang Tianxiang often record for a day, and continuous combat is also common when the task is tight. They can not have too large physical movements when recording, but at the same time to ensure the fullness of emotions, in order to empathize with the character's joy and sorrow, they must be empathetic, laughing with the happiness of the characters, sad and crying, in a limited environment, emotions like riding a roller coaster ups and downs, which is actually very draining. After an emotionally intense scene is recorded, they will really have the feeling of experiencing it in person.
Ajie and Yang Tianxiang agree that the most enjoyable roles and the most difficult roles to grasp are often at opposite ends of the scale. One is a role with great dramatic tension, such as the vivid change of personality, or the distance between its experience and real life, the difficulty of such roles is that it is difficult to resonate, so before dubbing, Ajie and Yang Tianxiang will do a lot of homework, first fully understand the experience and characteristics of the character, and then try to enter his "small universe". There are challenges with roles that have no communication with real life, but if you encounter a role that is too close to life, it is not easy to deal with, both to live a little, reduce the traces of performance, and not too much life, appear bland, this degree needs to be accurately considered and pinched.
"When I was in the play, starting from the character, I felt that everything was right, and when I jumped out to see it, I would feel that there were some places 'eh!'" Played well', some places are not good enough. Ajay says self-praise and self-criticism happen every day, and knowing your strengths and weaknesses is what you need to do better at your next job. Yang Tianxiang will also look at his own dubbed works, play his own dubbed games, experience and feel from the perspective of the audience and players, and trigger a series of new reflections and progress.
It sounds like the dubbing work is still quite "abusive", so how do you keep yourself enthusiastic and positive? Yang Tianxiang told us in a particularly affectionate tone: "Because of love", for this answer, Ajie smiled while agreeing: "Teacher Tian and I are not from the class, it is really because I like it, I like to be able to drive subjective initiative." When Yang Tianxiang said that he liked something, he didn't think it was bitter to be in it. It's like a friend who likes to play games sits in front of the computer for four hours and doesn't notice it when it's dark. When they record in the studio, they are also engaged in it and enjoy it.
Fit the emotions of the characters
If you just listen to the voices of Ajie and Yang Tianxiang, many characters and fragments will jump out of your mind, but when you meet them in person, the feeling is different, and you can feel their true three-dimensional personality more clearly.
Yang Tianxiang used the word "gentle" to describe Ajie, in fact, at the beginning he said "Yazheng", Ajie immediately sat very cooperatively, thinking about Yang Tianxiang or changing the "warm and thick end square". He said that Ajay was a very gentle person and very kind. Whether in work or life, where there is him is always a lump of harmony, this is the magic aura of his body, and it can unite everyone's heart at a critical time. "He hopes to create a happy and harmonious working atmosphere for everyone, and to do a good job in such an environment." This is Yang Tianxiang's understanding of Ajie.
With Ajie's gentle end as a contrast, Yang Tianxiang's personality is more lively and cute, and some interesting memes will be thrown out from time to time during the interview, such as when answering "Why are the voice actors of the 729 Sound Workshop so good-looking", he joked: "Next time remove makeup to show you", so that the scene is full of laughter and laughter.
From the backstage to the front of the stage, and even in front of the camera, it is known by many viewers and netizens, and has fans who support themselves, which is unimaginable at the beginning of Ajie and Yang Tianxiang's entry into the industry. Fifteen years ago, when Ajay first started with dubbing, let alone "voice control", many people had never even heard of dubbing, and when he said that he wanted to be a voice actor, everyone around him was dazed. But this did not shake Ajay's love of dubbing in the slightest. He has been very interested in the dubbing of cartoons and translations since he was a child, although he failed to learn related majors during college, he worked quietly in private, taught himself a lot of books and skills about dubbing, under the introduction of friends, he started from online distribution and dubbing to mass actors, and slowly embarked on the road of professional voice actors step by step.
Yang Tianxiang's official contact with dubbing was after he met Ajie. "He has a great passion for dubbing, and he gets into shape very quickly and grows very fast." This is what Ajay had to say about him. From the beginning of his career, Yang Tianxiang has regarded dubbing as a career, and he has invested his own sense of truth in each role. Talking about the fans' love for him, he is grateful and at the same time very clear about his own cognition, "A lot of things are appendages, the core is the work itself, everyone must be looking at the role you dubbed at the beginning, from liking this character to paying attention to the voice actor behind it, so this support is still due to meeting some good characters." ”
Many people will be amazed by the kaleidoscopic voice of the voice actors, but it is actually a "soul exchange" between the scene and the characters, their voices can hold the emotions of the characters, and the pronunciation of each word is wrapped in subtle emotional changes, no one denies that at that moment they are the characters themselves.
"You are not yourself, you are the character itself, and you are silent inside."
