I was going to stay quiet about this because my friends are dealing with it but I feel like I need to address this publicly so I don’t get anymore messages like this one:

   

Due to unisonraidd claiming that I am the one who made a post in regards to her reposting, I have now been subjected to hate mail and vicious rumours and this needs to stop. 

She has based this on an assumption and have proceeded to tell people that I am the culprit. Let’s just get one thing straight:

• That blog is run by numerous people 
  
• I was sleeping when that post was made 

I don’t even know this person, yet they are demanding an apology from me, for something I didn’t do.

I’d like to also mention I have unisonraidd blocked, I want nothing to do with her, so I’d appreciate it if her followers would stop telling me I owe her some sort of apology.

I’m sick and tired of people thinking because they have more followers than others that they can get away with bullying other people and spreading vicious rumours.

Sorry to my followers who like using my anons when sending in requests and sorry to those who want to message properly but this is just so hateful and I don’t want to chance getting something like this again.

This is a lovely post. It goes to show that when we percieve our own work, most of us have some type of insecurities about our own talents.

I only have one kernel to add to this. For people who say it’s being made in america, so it’s fine to cast americans. 

Can we STOP assuming being american means being white? JAPANESE AMERICAN ACTORS ARE AMERICAN! GASP.

Hello! If you don’t know me already, I’m Erica Mendez. I’m a voice actress from Chicago who currently lives in Los Angeles and works on projects being made there. I’ve been working professionally for about 3-4 years now and have been fortunate enough to be cast as some really amazing characters; Ryuko in Kill la Kill, Diane in Seven Deadly Sins, Yuuki in Sword Art Online II, Aladdin in Magi the Labyrinth of Magic… and so on and so forth.

I was recently announced as Nico Yazawa in “Love Live! School Idol Project”. I’ve been a fan of Love Live for almost 2 years now, so you can’t even imagine how excited I was to get a chance to be involved in the series, let alone be a member of µ’s! To be completely honest, I wasn’t even a huge fan of Nico at first (Kotori is my best girl) because I mostly played the mobile game and hearing “Nico Nico Ni!” every few seconds while you’re trying to concentrate on getting a full combo can get a little grating at times. So finding Nico as a character started off a little rough for me. As I continued to portray her through the recording process, I soon grew to love her, and realized that we’re very similar in certain ways. I’ve been slowly and secretively collecting merchandise of her ranging from keychains to scale figures ever since and I regret absolutely nothing about any of it. I -love- school idols and I’m so proud of Nico. 

Actually, quite a few of the girls in the cast were fans of Love Live before we auditioned. Others becoming fans through the recordings. I think I speak for all of us when I say that the series holds a very special place in our hearts. But while we were all excited to be involved, a lot of us were also scared, because we knew it would be hard for people to accept a dub of Love Live; a show where the Japanese actresses make up a large majority of why people like µ’s. And again, being fans ourselves, we didn’t want to screw it up. The last thing I wanted was to make myself hate Love Live because I felt like I didn’t do Nico justice.

That said: We’re not trying to replace any of the original Japanese voices. We’re not expecting anyone to think that we’re better than them. I actually really enjoy the seiyuu myself. Soramaru is definitely one of my favorites of the girls, though they’re all very charming in their own ways. I’ve watched so many clips of them performing live and they’re really amazing at what they do. Part of what got me through not being able to talk about being involved in the series for so long was watching live performances and broadcasts. Sometimes I would even cry just thinking about how lucky I was to be a part of something I loved so much, as I watched them be so passionate about being idols. I may not be an actual idol, but I felt like I understood how they felt in my own way.

Love Live was localized because it’s a amazing series and it deserved to be opened up to a broader audience. It’s very disheartening that some people are so quick to harshly judge the dub despite maybe not having heard more than a few lines from each character or just after watching a single episode. Dubbing in general is a really fast process, so it can take anywhere from 2-5 episodes before and actor becomes comfortable with a character.

Speaking from a fan point of view, I really like what I’ve seen of the dub so far. It does take a little getting used to, but that’s the thing: You have to give it a chance first. Re-watch the series and re-live how µ’s slowly started getting more recognition after people started taking them more seriously as an idol group once they realized how much passion they put into their performances.. and yeah, we’re all hoping that being a voice actress in the Love Live dub is kind of like that.

But hey, if you still don’t like the dub, buy the box set anyway. It still comes with the original voices in all of their glory. I don’t care what language you listen to as long as you’re supporting the industry by buying the official release.

To everyone who has said nice things to us already or even has just stayed neutral on the matter… thank you! We reeeeally appreciate the support.

Looking forward to crying about the Final Live with you all in March :(


EDIT: Btw, a lot of what I’ve mentioned here can just be applied to any anime that dub actors work on. It just seemed to be a bigger issue with Love Live recently because dubbing an idol anime of this caliber seemed to be unheard of to some people.. but hey, we did it!
