Can you give me tips on voice acting?
Since so many people have asked me this, I wrote a series of guides which can be found at my forum. The rest of the board there will be a very helpful resource to you too---you'll find everything from discussions on the best type of microphone to use to critiques of your demo.

I want to get into this. Where can I audition for roles?
Check here. Again, it's good to read around a bit so you have an idea of what you're doing if you're new to this whole thing.

How do you get your quality so clear sounding?
Usually sound cards that come with your computer have tons of excess noise, so I bought a USB condenser microphone [SamsonC01U] which allows for much clearer sound. I also make sure that the input volume isn't up too high, as that causes lines to peak and distort, but also not too low which can cause static when the producer amplifies it. The way to tell if your volume settings is good is that your loudest lines should hit slightly under, but not AT, the 0db peak line in your recording program

What program(s) do you use for recording and mixing?
For recording I use Audacity. If you're a beginner starting out I recommend Audacity because it's free and easy to use. For mixing productions, demos, etc I use Adobe Audition, which is not free.

How did you become a professional voice actress?
Long story short, I worked hard and saved money so that I could eventually move to the right area, and practiced by doing online stuff for four years. I eventually had to move back home due to financial issues, but I'm working on a plan to move to LA again within the next two years. Everyone has a different journey, but so much of it just involves doing your best work in everything and making the right connections. You should take classes whenever possible, get feedback from your mentors, and make connections in the industry when you feel you are ready.

Are you the creator of "Brawl Taunts"? It seems you and Kirbopher work together in a lot of stuff; are you real-life friends?
I wrote and produced them; he animated them (aside from the third one which was animated by a variety of artists.) Kirbopher and I live across the country from each other and work together via the internet although we have met in real life a few times at conventions.

Is it true you're a competitive gamer? Can I Brawl you on wi-fi?
Yes, I play a variety of games competitively---particularly Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Guilty Gear, and Street Fighter IV. I don't play Brawl online for a variety of reasons, mainly due to lag.

Can you send me pictures of yourself?
All my public cosplay photos are available on my myspace (@innersakura).

Someone is impersonating you on a website/said something derogatory about you; how can I report it?
There are trolls and flamers everywhere you go on the Internet, and there is not much either of us can do about it---even if said accounts are banned from their respective websites, it is fairly easy for these people to make new ones, and it is best to just ignore them as trolls thrive on attention. If you have doubts about whether a certain user who claims to be "Rina-chan" is actually me, you can send me an e-mail about it, but also use common sense: If they post racist, vulgar, or ridiculously unintelligent remarks, then it is definitely not me.

How did you get to do a voice for Castle Crashers?
Tom Fulp wanted to use people in the game who were active in contributing to the Newgrounds community. For instance, the music in the game came from Newgrounds audio portal artists. I've been doing female voice acting for a very long time and I was incredibly honored when I was asked to do the sounds for all the princesses. :)

Do you have a YouTube account?
I have one @MizukiTenkou for parodies and such that I used to do. Most of the videos on it are quite old.

Can we chat online?
I'm sorry but I hardly ever go on messenger services. The screen names I do use occasionally remain private and are only used for my close friends to contact me. Please don't take it personally or think it's me being rude or conceited because it's not---it's just that I am very busy and do a lot of things, between voice work (online and professionally), working at being a pro gamer (training and tournaments = big time commitment), networking and social events, working on my websites and blogs, etc. At any given time I have windows popping up everywhere many times asking questions that can be found by reading this FAQ. I'm honestly not trying to be rude or ignore anybody; it just sucks up a lot of time from my day that I could be using for more productive things, like recording your script for you. :D
