Anime: Where Cultures Meet and Dreams Begin.
Many people have been inspired by anime to learn Japanese and even pursue their dreams in Japan.
In this ICC Talk Session, we welcome Seira Liu, a voice actress from China who turned her love of anime into a career, to share her story and talk with participants about culture, identity, and self-expression through anime.
The passion for anime connects people beyond borders and languages.
In the first half, Seira will talk about how she discovered anime, overcame cultural differences, and built her path as a voice actress in Japan.
In the second half, participants can join a mini voice acting session—read lines aloud, receive tips from Seira, and experience the joy of expressing yourself through voice!
You’ll also have the chance to chat about your favorite works and share your thoughts with other anime fans.
*We encourage you to bring your favorite anime goods!
Whether you love anime, are interested in Japanese culture, or simply want to explore your passions more deeply, everyone is welcome.
Come and experience how your love for anime can truly bring people together!
