Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
So, pick one of recent messages.
Yup.
Alright, that one.
This is from カニカマさん.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you.
いつもお二人のラジオを楽しく聞かせていただいています。
昔、シュガーラッシュという映画を見た時に。
映画を見た時に、
ヴァネロペの声が日本では高くかわいらしい声なのに対し。
ヴァネロペの声が日本では高くかわいらしい声なのに対し、
本国での声はもっと低くいたずらっこっぽさを強調した声で、
国によってさまざまな好ましい声の基準があるのかなと思いました。
日本での声が高くかわいらしい声なのに対し、
本国での声はもっと低くいたずらっこっぽさを強調した声で、
国によってさまざまな好ましい声の基準があるのかなと思いました。
アジア圏は声優さんがよりアニメ声みがあるのかなど。
日本でいうイケボ、かわいい声の概念は海外だとどのような人のことを言うのでしょうか?
日本の声優さんと一括にしても多種多様な魅力的な声があると思うので難しい質問だと思うのですが、
ざっくりとした概念の違いがあるなら教えていただきたいです。長々と失礼しました。
マジカルマン
I'll try to do an impression for you.
If you're stuck doing something, you should always look up. You'll find something always there.
03:06
Is that the guy?
That's the guy.
Shiwa on his forehead.
Not very, very dark skin. Like a brown skin.
Is he like a very old guy?
Very old.
Very old?
Yeah. Like 60s, 70s.
And F.
Maybe it starts with an F.
F?
Yeah. Maybe or maybe not.
Not the guy from the Avengers?
Forget the name though.
Forget the name.
Hold on. I searched Avengers cast and all these Hollywood stars, right?
Yeah.
And right here is Miyasako-san.
Why?
Is he in the film?
Is he there?
I don't think so.
It's so...
He's so...
I mean...
It's kind of funny.
But he's not in the film.
Never seen him in the film.
No.
Maybe...
Like a secret...
Like a Japanese version maybe?
But...
Samuel Jackson.
Yeah. Samuel Jackson...
Not him?
No.
That was not who I was...
But he is a black guy that you see in a lot of movies.
Yeah.
He's like the wise man.
Who is that wise man?
Wise black actor in movies.
Let me see if that hits.
Oh.
I think I got his face.
You got his face?
Right here.
Yes.
Yes. That's him.
That's the same face I was...
Who was his name?
What was his name?
What was his name?
What?
Why am I not getting names?
Let me click this.
Yeah.
Let's click.
Morgan Freeman.
Yes.
Morgan Freeman.
Yes.
He has a very good voice.
He has a very good voice.
That's my image.
Yeah.
That's my image.
That's good voice.
Yeah.
So I think it's different from what we call in Japan like Ikebo.
Yeah. It's different, right?
It's different.
Yeah.
Yeah. But...
Still...
We Japanese also think his voice is very cool.
Very good.
Yeah.
Very deep.
Morgan Freeman.
The lower your voice is, the better you sound.
So if I yawned a lot, I might start sounding like Morgan Freeman?
No, but you would certainly get a deeper voice.
06:06
Look at that.
Did he talk about how to sound like him?
Yeah. At the very beginning of the video, it was like the lower your voices,
the heavier the gratitude of the words are going to be is what he said.
The more like Megan it is, is what he said.
Yeah. At the beginning of the video, he said that.
Okay.
This is a video of best movie quotes from Morgan Freeman.
So I guess the editor of the video was like, you know,
wanted to clip something that was related to that.
But good voice.
Yes.
Very good voice.
With like a blessy sound.
Yeah. Yeah.
I love that. I love that.
Great.
Yeah.
What about females?
Um.
Do you have a certain image of cute voice or like sexy voice?
Hmm.
I don't know.
I don't know.
There's a lot of like,
like, you know, Ariana Grande.
Like that.
Oh, that's Michael Jackson.
I'm sorry.
But Michael Jackson has his own special voice.
Right.
It's not necessarily sexy.
Yeah.
But, you know,
I don't know if there's like a
for females.
Hmm.
I wonder who.
What about, for example,
I forget the names.
The one from Avengers, again.
Okay.
But the actress
who has very
Scott Johansson.
Oh.
She's one of the sexiest female actors, right?
Sure.
And she sounds very like deep and low voice.
Well, let me.
I can't remember her voice.
Scarlett Johansson.
Yeah.
Uh.
Here, this is her.
Is that her?
Yeah.
But it's not like a very
sexual role, I guess.
Oh, OK.
So maybe
take a little like a romantic ones.
Well, I mean, I hear this kind of voice all the time.
Like,
I don't think it's that special.
Like I can go to Walmart.
Yeah.
Like, especially in the movies
like those love scenes.
She talks like even slower and even lower.
Like she adds color.
Yeah.
Like in deep and gets deeper and deeper.
09:00
Oh, OK.
It's something a little different from Japan, right?
Because.
Yeah.
Right.
The way to add colors.
Yeah.
Higher and higher.
That's right.
It goes up and up.
It's the opposite, I guess.
That's true.
Yeah.
I mean, the Japanese kawaii anime voice is just
it's like a meme now in the US.
It's like, you know.
Yeah.
It's a joke almost.
Right.
It's like its own culture.
It's like the hentai culture.
Yeah.
Is how it's described as.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's true.
Yeah.
That's so opposite.
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
Any voice that you like.
For.
OK.
I actually have one.
OK.
A guy from Interstellar or the guy from Wolf of Wall Street.
Leonardo DiCaprio?
No.
I forgot his name.
Wolf of Wall Street.

You know, you go to a random place in Japan.
So, I was at McDonald's the other day.
And there was this family right next to me.
And the ojiisan.
Ojiisan of the family had a very loud voice.
Loud voice?
Loud.
Loud voice.
But he had a very tall voice.
And I was like, this is so different from like...
What is happening to his throat?
And I was so like wowed on the fact that some of the Japanese just has a very different genetics when it comes to throats.
And has like a very...
And I was like, what does a person have to do to get this voice?
Yeah.
12:00
It's so loud.
You can hear every conversation from afar.
Is that what you want?
Well, not really.
But if he were to use that as his profession, he would do a good job, I think.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like voice exercise.
Yeah.
If you want to be quiet, it's annoying.
But like...
You can keep your secret.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But like that, I mean, voice is such luck.
True.
Yeah.
Love that voice.
