I am sooooo lazy. I've been meaning to make a thread about this since the day I came back, but meh, I'm here now and I'm gonna do it now, so lets get started on the 4 days of fun:
Day 1: Aero (my brother) was busy working and I went solo for a big chunk of the day. This day was basically for browsing. (Which in the end I massively regretted.) I first walked into a panel which featured a woman named Kouga. Before I could realize that I was in no-mans land it was too late. This panel was for a doujin manga artist. A Yaoi Doujin Manga Artist. I sat through it, and got some informative answers from the artist who was asked by Otaku's and screaming yaoi fangirls, and I think one was a guy... I could've left at any time, but there were four girls sitting at the end where I was, and I think one was annoyed by me even being there. I didn't wanna seem rude, so i stayed. Also I had nowhere else to go... or so I thought.
After that was over, I walked around for at least an hour and a half looking at the many Cosplayers and exhibits, and spent the biggest chunk of my day in the Exhibit Hall. I saw nothing there that I currently wanted or could afford, so I bailed, but not before a guy pointed me in the direction of Kyle Hebert. I got his autograph and had a nice tiny chat with him. When I stepped out and down the stairs, exhausted, I checked the schedule on what was going on, which I did in the morning but didn't mind anything at the time. I saw that AX Idol was going on, (A singing and Voice Acting competition) and the voice acting auditions were going on when I laid eyes on it. I scrarabled to find the room and once I got there it was too late, waaaaay too late. Sign ups were 10 am and it was 4:15. I screwed up big time and was bummed the entire time I was sitting there. I eventually got over it and watched lots of potential young, and even old, voice actors who tried out. As well as cringing at those who seemed like they didn't even try... In the end, I went back to the exhibit hall to see what I could afford, again.
Actually, the real reason I went was because I wanted to catch Kyle again, to see if I could show him that I'm an aspiring voice actor. He was gone, however a woman named Philece_Sampler had taken his place. She was very nice and pretty optimistic about me trying out VA in the future, she even wished me luck in her autograph. She proceeded to tell me about the Bang Zoom Workshop that was about to start in about 30 mintues, so I hustled over there to check it out.
When I reached there, of course, there was a long line and I waited until the doors opened, and then someone tells me the ticket I got from the booth, could've got me in even sooner... yeah. It was nice, and Philece Sampler happened to be the host of the workshop. She showed us a demo tape of what anime she was in as well as told us what one needed to do to be a voice actor (Which is the point of the workshop.) I was near the back and off to the side, but I could see plenty. When we got down to the good stuff, I was expecting to be picked to try out some voice work, but nay, I was not. Curse you Philece for making me think I was special! ... nah it was cool.
Oh, did I mention Aero called me like 47 times during the workshop? Anyways, I found out my brother had found my cousin in the screening of the Gurren Lagann Movie. From there, me and him went home early. AX Idol will be around next year, so I'm not worried. Next year I'll be more prepared.
