The reverb (and upped bass) in the audio that I heard makes it difficult for me to be sure but I’m also thinking that it ain’t Patton. It does sound familiar though… I’d go with Grelle or the lead from Outbreak Company/Btooom but I wouldn’t bet on it; can’t tell what’s in the voice and what’s just being added by the echo. Microphone tech hasn’t kept up with camera tech on portable devices lol.

I got a Blake Shepard vibe out of the clip.
And for Wizard Barristers, Patton would play the frog familiar from Canada…aye.


###NEW RELEASES THIS WEEK: STUDENT COUNCILS AND SUPER SONICOS
5/28/2015 5:46:27 PM

This week sees the highly anticipated release of SoniAni: Super Sonico the Animation, starring our friend Jessica Nigri as the official English voice of Super Sonico! We had a blast working with Jess in the booth, and our release comes jam packed with tons of behind the scene footage and bloopers, make sure to pick it up! Check out what else hits shelves this week below:


###SoniAni: Super Sonico The Animation
When Sonico wakes up every morning she sees big things on the horizon. This incredibly busy young woman somehow juggles modeling and working at her grandmother’s bar while attending college AND performing as a lead vocalist and guitarist in the all girl band Fastest Speed In Space. But no matter how much Sonico has on her plate, she’s always ready to take on a challenge with the help of her manager, Kitamura, and her bandmates, Suzu and Fuuri!

Genres: Slice of Life, Comedy
Rating: TV-14 [S]


###Student Council’s Discretion: Level 2
The series revolves around a private high school whose student council is chosen entirely by popularity vote. Because of this, Ken Sugisaki is the only male representative, in the otherwise all bishojo student council, that may enter the “sacred sanctuary” of the council’s meeting room. At the behest of Council President Kurimu Sakurano, Sugisaki records the minutes of the council meetings, which devolve into daily conversations about the students’ lives and interests.

Q. Do you ever consider doing an online panel like what Aniplex of America do?
A. We have in the past, definitely. Is this something you all would like to see from us? I think that if we get enough demand for it we can make something happen. :slight_smile: Let us know on our social media channels, we are always listening.

http://ask.fm/SentaiFilmworks/answer/127135081181
Q. Senpai…if you have to choose a waifu yandere, from which anime would you choose?
A. Hmmm…I would say Kanon from The World God Only Knows. You wouldn’t initially rank her as a yandere character, but later on she starts doing some really dicey stuff that…well, I won’t ruin it for you, but yes…Kanon 100%

http://ask.fm/SentaiFilmworks/answer/127335804381
Q. When fans request stuff. Do you guys take it in consideration to grant the request?
A. Yes, of course. We are always looking through our emails and social media accounts for fan reactions, requests, and whatnot. That’s one of the big reasons I always stress to let your voice be heard. There are no bots or other services like that populating/updating our social media feeds, that’s all real people who read your mentions, comments, and replies, so believe it or not, your voice makes a difference.

Q. Do you love me
A. Forever and ever.

Q. Why aren’t there more goats in anime?
A. The same thing could be said about many aspects of life. Unfortunately we may never know the answer…I would ASK some goats, but there aren’t any around at the moment…

is that a farewell to voice acting post?

Hopefully they’ll actually have a panel at the second largest anime con in the country. Having David Williams at otakon but no panel lives in infamy.

Fixed and made better.
