Ufotable’sDemon Slayermay have a lot of defining moments that make the anime series one of the best of all time, but a major part of the credit for the success of the series should ideally go to the voice actors ofDemon Slayer, who managed to capture the emotions of intense characters like Tanjiro, Nezuko, Rengoku, Zenitsu, etc.

Voicing such prominent characters can be difficult as they often end up in dire situations, and the entire focus is on them. Therefore, even a small mistake can affect the character and the voice actor’s image. Be it Japanese dubbing or any other language, the stress on the voice is similar for every voice artist who is working on the series.

Zach Aguilar, the English voice actor of the protagonist ofDemon Slayer, Tanjiro, once talked about the true process of making a decent name in the industry. He explained how he himself started his career and managed to bag big roles like Tanjiro, Genos inOne Punch Man, and Arthur inSeven Deadly Sins, etc.

Aguilar stated:

Besides being persistent in taking voice acting classes and building your skills from there, I think understanding the importance of your attitude is key to success. Having respect and care for the team you work with is essential; you need to understand that the impressions you make on people and the way you carry yourself all mould your experience in the industry.

He further stated:

I started in this field when I was very young, and this is still the most important thing that I’ve carried with me, in my opinion.

According to the voice actor, building your talent is important, but the most important thing is how you treat the people around you, who, just like you, are working on the same thing. Aguilar pointed out that he has been following this protocol since the beginning, and even after working for so many years, he still carries it with him.

The Struggles of Voice Actors in the Anime Industry

The job of voice actors is not easy, especially if they are working with big franchises likeDemon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece, etc. The intensity and the emotions are quite high in such series, and they often cause difficulty for voice actors. Many have even shared theirexperiences of spitting bloodwhile working on such intense scenes.

Anime movies and series generallyinvolve exaggerated and heightened emotions, which is one of the reasons why the industry is becoming so popular day by day. However, these emotions are tough to replicate in real life, thus becoming a big issue for the voice actors.
