Anime lovers ... I just found out about the 3rd annual Seiyu Awards' new category where overseas fans (not residing in Japan) can vote on their favorite voice actors. I was watching Vampire Knight Guilty where they had a S.A. tribute http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAtsq12pKzQ&sdig=1 and many of my favorites are nominated for individual awards, but I was able to snag their name and enter it in the overseas fan award. Thought you might be interested.Establishment of New Category for the Seiyu Awards
PURPOSE
The Seiyu Awards was established as an annual award to honor voice actors and actress for their achievements in memorable voice acting performances and creative works. The Tokyo Anime Center, in cooperation with the Japan Audio Producer’s Association and representatives from the animation industry, aims to contribute to increasing the status of voice actors and actress by providing the largest scale award show in the industry. Presently, voice acting is ranked as one of the highest occupations that children aspire to, increasing the attention towards the voice acting profession. There is also increasing support from overseas, and each year, more and more voice actors are taking part in overseas events. With this in mind, a new category in the Seiyu Awards, the Overseas Fan’s Choice Awards(It depends on a vote except the Japanese) has been established to recognize more voice actors by recognizing opinions from more areas. This category will give fans from overseas the opportunity to choose who they think is the most memorable voice actor. Voting for this category shall take place online at the official website, and the award will be presented as a special category award.
Voting Process
Votes from overseas fans only shall be counted. Voting will take place at the official website. Fans will vote for one voice actor (regardless of gender). The results of the vote shall determine the first assessment. A second assessment shall be held by the Seiyu Awards Selection Committee.
Voting Eligibility
Anyone who is not Japanese (Please refrain from voting if you are Japanese)
Voting Method
Enter voice actors and actress name and the name of the characters that voice actors and actress has played.
