Interview: "Bloodhounds" VO actor Anthony Ma

New interview Actor Anthony Ma voiced the English dub for Woo-jin (played by Korean actor Lee Sang-yi) in “Bloodhounds.”
The world of voice-over (VO) is something I have wanted to find out more about, especially as international content continues to grow.
The multi-talented actor, writer and filmmaker took the time to discuss his work on Kdramas like “Bloodhounds,” “The Glory,” and “Rookie Cops.”
Anthony also shared industry insights on casting, working with narrative vs. reality genres, and advice for aspiring VO actors.
“ A lot of my Asian American actor friends started getting a jolt up in voice acting, because of this awesome surge in Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese content.
People in our industry are casting correctly instead of having just some White dude voice over an Asian guy. Now they’re actually casting Asian Americans.”

Premiere musings “LTNS” (Long Time No Sex) was the best of last week’s premieres. The raunchy rom-com was fun, well-crafted, and had a righteous pacing that didn’t feel rushed. Esom and Ahn Jae-hong are a breath of fresh air. 🙂 It’s being distributed by Viki in the U.S.
