Title: Re: Soliciting questions for an upcoming interview with Mike...
Well, here are some questions I came up with.
Question 1:
Since you were cast as a voice actor for the Pokemon series, both by 4Kids (as the narrator in Pokemon: Advance Generation) and PUSA (as Mr. Contesta and Charon in Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl), have you noticed a difference in how each of them handled (and still handles as far as PUSA is concerned) the dub of Pokemon?
Question 2:
Having worked on the Pokemon series, do you think that it is something addressed only to children and pre-teens (as is the common notion these days), or do you reckon it can also appeal to people in their twenties and thirties too? (In other words, do you think Pokemon is a kids' show?)
Question 3:
Do you like Pokemon? What is your favorite episode of the series, if you have watched any?
Question 4:
Do you decide the style of the voice a character (that you voice) will have? If yes, how do you come up with the different styles of voicing characters? Is it something spontaneous, or something that you decide after you have read more into the character you're voicing?
Question 5:
What would you advise someone who wants to pursue a voice-acting career? Would you try to persuade them into or dissuade them from following such a career?
Question 6:
Was there ever a case of you really wanting to lend your voice to a character, so much so that you rejected another role in the same show because of not getting the role you wanted?
Question 7:
Was there ever a case of you not wanting to voice a character, but accepting the part because the payment was too good to pass up?
Question 8:
Is there a character you really want to voice, but haven't had the chance yet?
Question 9:
Does voice-acting provide you with job satisfaction or do you regard it solely as a source of income?
Question 10:
When it was decided that you would take over the work of Rodger Parsons, were you, in any way, influenced by how he voiced the narrator in the way you chose to voice the same character afterwards?
