To say that this is the biggest honor and privilege of my career to date is an understatement. Even as I type this, I still can't fully believe it.
I am the English voice of the Protagonist - Yu in Persona 4 Revival.
My endless gratitude to @Atlus_West and Studiopolis for putting their faith in me. Truthfully no amount or combination of words can encapsulate the gratitude I have in this moment.
For the elephant in the room: my cast and I stand on the shoulders of giants. We all grew up on monumental and iconic performances and the amount of respect we have toward our predecessors cannot be overstated. Truthfully I know that this news comes to the chagrin of many and I would be lying if I said I haven't been nervous about this reveal. I want to make it clear that I see myself solely as an iteration. Johnny will forever be my and many people's GOAT and I can only hope to aspire to his greatness. I did my best to do right by both him as well as the fandom.
At the end of the day, I know that not everyone will be happy, and that's okay. I just hope that you give us a chance and know that I am grateful if in the end that is all you do.
Thank you for your support 💛
When recording the part where the Dutchman eats them (from an alternate ending) the cast is told by Stephen Hillenburg to make the walla "lighter" and less like the characters are upset.
The voice actors then start riffing as if they were being brutally digested.
