Animation voice acting connects both sides of the Strait
"I hope you promote standard Mandarin," famous voice actor Kuan Chihhung said in a cross-Strait exchange activity in August this year, when speaking of the Chinese dubbing community's preference for different accents.
Kuan, who is from Taiwan, has been involved in voice acting since 1985, lending his voice to numerous iconic characters such as Rukawa Kaede in Slam Dunk, Richard Moore and Kid the Phantom Thief in Detective Conan, and Sesshomaru in Inuyasha. His voice is part of the childhood memories of countless people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Now, Kuan works as a mentor for young voice actors at Taiwan's Best Voice Studio.
At the end of August, Kuan led a group of young Taiwan voice actors from Best Voice Studio to participate in the award ceremony of the Second Cross-Strait Animation Dubbing Contest held in Xiamen, Fujian province. Among them, Xiaobao and Yayian won the Third Prize. "We also participated in the competition last year and won the Most Promising Award. This year, we've made progress and won the third prize, making us feel absolutely happy!" Xiaobao said.
