Recently James from the YouTube channel That Video Games Show interviewed Japan-based voice actor Eric Kelso, who has a wealth of voice-over and voice acting experience in a variety of fields, and of course played the English voices of Fuku-san, Guizhang and Ren in the first two Shenmue games.
The questions cover Eric's activities in Japan as well as several Shenmue-related topics, including:
- Which of the 3 Shenmue characters you voiced did you have the most fun with?
- What is your favorite dish to cook?
- Were you contacted about returning to play as Ren in Shenmue III?
- Would you be open to re-recording your own original voices for the Shenmue III characters?
- What made you decide to move to Japan?
- Can you play any musical instruments?
- What is your favorite "Ericism"?
- Have you ever played Shenmue I and II?
Eric has always positive supported Shenmue and the fan community, and it is a pleasure to hear from him again in this interview.
Further information on topics mentioned:
- Eric's book "Ericisms" is available on Amazon
