## Voice Actors

### English

Here's a list of noteworthy English dub voice actors. This list is separated by where they are based, altho some are not exclusive to one locale and talent pools can overlap in geographically close areas.

Most English dubs are recorded in Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Massachusetts, Hong Kong, and El Kadsre - in that order (Hong Kong mostly produces alternate dubs for Animax and El Kadsre has produced a handful of alternate dubs for local TV channels as well as several dubs for Gotaku). New York City, Tokyo, and Manchester (New Hampshire) are occasionally used (yet not nearly as much as they they to be) and Canadian cities like Toronto and Vancouver are thawed out every now and then, sometimes for new productions, but mostly for cast reprises. In addition, various cities around the world have been used to varying degrees of frequency, but are again no longer used.

#### Voice Actors

##### United States-based actors

**Boston, Massachusetts**: The capital of Massachusetts and the namesake of the Greater Boston area, where Gotaku is headquartered (in Waltham to be precise). Much of the anime dubbing done in Boston is recorded at Gotaku's Boston City Sound Studios with some dubs recorded at Multilanguage Advisory, The Soundtrack Group, and Mix One Studios. Some of these voice actors have also worked in Springfield, Fitchburg, and Manchester although it is extremely rare for a New England-based voice actor to do voice work elsewhere. Please note that most of the Bostonian anime V.A.'s have also done non-anime work and that Gotaku's three company-owned dubbing studios (Boston City Sound Studios, Hoop City, and Candy Volcano Studios) have done some alternate dubs for international markets (mainly for PPE Entertainment and some Asian companies).
