With the anime anthology series Star Wars: Visions now streaming on Disney+, I recently spoke with Jordan Fisher about voicing one of the characters in the episode titled The Elder. During the interview, Fisher talked about what he was told about his episode and character before signing on, what people would be surprised to learn about the voice recording process, how even though you are matching the Japanese dub you have freedom with your delivery, and more. In addition, he talked about how he keeps his voice fresh and working when he’s performing on Broadway.
If you haven’t seen the trailer, Star Wars: Visions brings together seven Japanese anime studios for nine standalone stories that take place at different times in the Star Wars universe. Each studios uses their own unique style of animation and storytelling to deliver episodes that range from 13 to 22 minutes and feature all types of characters and locations. If you’re a fan of anime and Star Wars, you need to push play on these episodes immediately.
