For friends who pay attention to the second dimension, the profession of voice actor should be very familiar, whether we are playing games or watching animation, all the dubbing of these characters in it is proud of the voice actor acting skills (domestic is called voice actor).
With the development of the animation industry in recent years, the profession of voice actor has gradually become an ideal career in the minds of countless people, but under the bright appearance there is a cruel reality, and friends who are familiar with Matsuoka Akira know that Matsuoka was only a soy sauce character before becoming famous, and his ordinary life can only be maintained through part-time work. Of course, today's protagonist is not Matsuoka Akira, but his good friend Yusuke Kobayashi.
Compared with Matsuoka, Yusuke Kobayashi may be less well-known in China, but when it comes to the roles he has played, everyone will definitely think of it for the first time. Cai Yue in "Re: Life in Another World from Scratch", Arslan in "Arslan War", "The Boring World Without Yellow Strips" by Oma Tanuyoshi, "Stone Age" by Shijin Chiku, etc. these are all very familiar characters.
Unlike other voice actors, Kobayashi Yusuke was 28 years old when he debuted as a voice actor, and friends who pay attention to the profession of voice actor know what 28 years old represents. For a voice actor, the general golden age is between the ages of 18 and 35 (some debut from an early age, such as Mizuse, Kido, etc.). And Yusuke Kobayashi has been 28 years old since his debut, which means that he must get a certificate and fame in a short period of time, or he will have to run a dragon set for a lifetime, or even give up the profession of voice actor for financial reasons.
(Opposed by parents)
In fact, Yusuke Kobayashi had wanted to be a voice actor in high school, but his parents opposed it, so he did not implement it until he joined a company that designed and developed air conditioners after graduating from college. Although he has entered the society, Kobayashi Yusuke still has no desire for animation and voice actor dreams, so he works at the company and goes to the voice actor training center once a week.
(Worked at a home appliance company after graduation)
Later, he quit his job at the company and focused on the voice actor business. Of course, before that, he still had to talk to his parents face to face, and he thought that his parents were still as opposed as before, but this time the family's reaction made him very moved. Father said, "You have already fought hard in society, and if you still want to be a voice actor, go ahead!" ”
However, in front of reality, it is very cruel, because it is a newcomer. There weren't many jobs in the firm, so most of the living income was spent working part-time and savings accumulated from previous jobs. Insurance, physical work, and late-night beef building restaurant part-time work, in addition to external pressures, there are also internal pressures. He is also 30 years old, and the students of the same class have almost become the small leaders of the company, and the salary is not bad, but he is still a voice actor newcomer and still relies on part-time work to survive.
(Envy other peers with a monthly salary of 250,000 - 300,000 yen)
Gradually, the savings from the previous job were also spent. Every night when I came home to see my parents preparing meals as usual, I felt very sorry for my parents. So during that time, Kobayashi Yusuke decided not to go home for dinner, because he would feel sorry as soon as he met his parents. In terms of voice actors, newcomer Yusuke Kobayashi only takes anime auditions about three times a year, so every audition must be seriously faced.
(It wasn't easy at the time)
However, in the last audition, he left the last three people to audition the process. When I felt that I was about to see hope, I was still rejected outside the door, and even my own agent said to myself: The voice actor who was selected is very compatible with the role in both voice and acting, so you may be very selected this time.
(After that audition, I was afraid to watch the animation)
But after watching the acting skills of the person who was selected to voice, he finally knew the gap between the two sides and felt that "this person is really too powerful." (It is rumored that the voice actor who was chosen was Matsuoka Akira, because Kobayashi once said that he hated Matsuoka before, but after watching him voice, he has great respect for him, and now the two have become close friends.)
Since then, Kobayashi has continued to exercise his acting skills, and finally ushered in his first main cast (protagonist) in 2014, and also opened his new voice actor career.
