One of the most phenomenal benefits of learning a new language is doors are opened to you around the world. In India, the Japanese language has a very wide scope. Still, the Japanese language is not always the first choice for people looking to learn a foreign language in India. But maybe if you dig deep, you realize it should be. Choosing a language which is taught very rarely will pop out on your C.V and will make you stand out from others. Once you clear the must needed J.L.P.T examination, which is held by the Japan government twice a year, in the month of July and the next in December. There are a lot of institutions where students are trained in the Japanese language. J.L.T.A.P (Japanese language Teacher’s Association of Pune), Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth & Ranade Institute are some of the known institutes in Pune. Well if you put your efforts, mind and love in learning this language, it is a guarantee that it will benefit in every way. In the article that you’re viewing, I’m going to give you a brief introduction about voice acting. Acting as a narrator or more like giving voice to represent a character in animation is called Voice Acting. Voice actors also called as “seiyus”, play a key role in bringing fan favourite characters to life. Japan is the largest animation industry, producing almost 60% of the World’s Animated Series. Top anime series include shows like Naruto, Death Notes, Attack on Titan, and so much more. There are some fans over there around 130 voice acting schools in Japan. Some of them are Tokyo Film centre College of Arts, Gakko Hojin Azelee Tokyo rehabilitation training school and Tokyo Belle Epaque Biyosenmon school. Besides voice acting one can think of applying for the job of a teacher, freelancer, interpreter or Translator. Japan also agreed to set up skill development institutions in Gujarat, Karnataka and Rajasthan where 30 thousand people would be provided training over the next 10 years. Or else there’s plenty of other work to do and earn Yen, & then maybe you could go to the Spa the next day! Who doesn’t want a good massage, especially in Japan?
