I hope so! Not long now until AN!
Anyway what have you done with your Tempo so far? Hopefully not turned forests into barren wilderness taking lives in the process...you have some really good friends behind you there, to have support and a good laugh with.
Crazy in a good way or a bad way? But yes their love triangle is sweet and enjoyable to watch.
Thanks I say things as I see them.
And in doing so they in the end finally helped Toby the better way not to mention that forgiveness goes a long way. Power of Friendship and Love conquers all!
So it was also basic human primal survival instinct that created Faust in a way, uncomfortable as it would be for Toby but it seems that maybe Faust was a part of him maybe kinda like Mr. Hyde.
This also makes me think that part of Toby's desperation was maybe caused by the rift between his two best friends and him wanting the three of them to just reunite. Basically if Zeo and Toby didn't become friends again the world would have pretty much been screwed. I'd say Jack definitely has some issues as well as being a struggling artist.
I understand, it really is quite interesting that you have drawn from personal experience. I guess not but I don't think she wouldn't take her brother being turned into Faust very well and maybe the stress would get on top of her. She'd also use her jobs as some sort of escape from reality maybe.
Wow the Ikea commercial sounded like the quickest you have ever recorded. I can understand why the client got annoyed (time-wasting) and sounded like it annoyed you also keeping you there for 4 hours while the director and producer bickered (in front of the client and yourself no less), not exactly professional of them. It is always a better experience if the higher-ups know what they are doing I guess.
I will! One of the workers at the shop where it was from said Tempo was one of the best Beys just hope it is not as destructive as it is in real life...but anyway Tempo is the only Bey without fiddly stickers to put on it apparently.
Thanks for the tip! I tend to switch subjects very quickly normally when having a long convo and then going back and forth and am extra hyper when excited. Though more often then not people tend to ask about my autism when I am explaining about my quirks.
Why am I being reminded of a “join us join us†kind of situation here? Then again I know some more who are in a way part of the tease machine of doom...
Well I hope you, Mac and everyone else who attends your panel have a brilliant time next weekend, great to hear you and Mac got your own Beyblade Panel and really hope that Cameron gets to join you. It would be great if someone filmed it for those of us who won't be able to go.
I think he has fans already, by the time of his début he may well get more.
It would be really rotten luck if both parents carried the disease and were both taken by it, maybe one died from the disease and maybe the other from a broken heart. You are welcome the roles of both Toby and Faust sounded like quite the challenge. I remember in Digimon one of the main character's parents were killed by a car accident.
Don't worry you must have been busy.
Yes it was good fun but a little disorganized as there some long waits between games. Despite aiming and posing for Number One my companion and I (we were in a doubles pair for the tourney) came in third in our division.
It was interesting and the sound quality wasn't good but I was curious to see and hear Faust so my curiosity got the better of me. I cannot wait for the real version to come out.
The series coincidentally got more darker around the episodes Debra Toffan took over as voice director.
Yeah it is more of a surprise that Toby comes back after his lack of a reaction as Faust but I think it would have been more heart-wrenching to have some sort of reaction from Faust when the Spiral Force was first unleashed. But yes this is a case of either no reaction or reaction fit nicely story and character wise.
So if Faust did kill a bunch of people then who would get charged for manslaughter? I mean these people must have families that will grieve and want to know what happened, I am guessing that maybe Dr. Ziggurat and his workers would be held most responsible as they unlike Faust are not (as far as we know) brainwashed.
From your POV does Toby realize that he may have unintentionally killed others? And for that matter do Zeo and Masamune know too? If so how do they deal with this?
The Toby-turning-into-Faust and then killing people thing is sorta comparable to say a character-turned-werewolf or vampire eating people. The thing that they become don't really care for human life although their human alter egos do which makes it terribly tragic and yet sympathetic. It in a way allows the “monstrous new character†to sink without the character they once were (and in some cases can be brought back to) to sink.
So when you refer to Post-Faust!Toby's voice as adult Toby, does this mean that Toby is physically an adult now or just his voice? We heard some of Adult!Toby's voice in the vid you and Mac did and it does sound good.
Hmmm Karl, you were not far off when you joked about Dr. Ziggurat's letter to Toby...I remember when Masamune freaked and thought Toby had turned into an old man and the old man was not Toby but named Benjamin I kinda thought it may have been done on purpose as an in-production joke (more a part of the tease machine?).
Thanks for your answers, theories and comments and please let us know how Anime North goes. I won't be there as I don't live in either Toronto or Canada but I hope all of you members on the forums here who are going have a brill time!
No, don't warn anyone, then I won't have as much fun. Heeheeheehee
My Tempo has only battled a few times. A friend of the family came by with her son and he "WANTED TO BATTLE BEYBLADES". I felt bad… because I beat him pretty quickly and I was trying to lose. Eventually, I figured I could just use part of the rip chord, and it was easier for him to beat me.
Well, Mac isn't a fan of it. It drives me crazy in the good way. Ooooh yes!
HURRAY FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE!
I like the comparison to Mr. Hyde. We all have a little darker side to us, and his desperation and the arrangement system amplified it.
I use personal experiences to enhance my performances. It's what makes some of my work more believable.
The sister would DEFINITELY bury herself in her work.
Commercials can be tricky, either way, I love the work. Even with argumentative directors, it's all a part of the process.
I love that there were no stickers to put onto my Tempo. I'm TERRIBLE with stickers! When I was a kid, all of my Hot Wheels were blank. I always tried to put on the stickers and got angry when they weren't perfectly on it.
Well, just be yourself. No matter what, cause you're pretty awesome.
Anime North was amazing. It changed my life, and I will always be grateful for the time I had there. Unfortunately, Cameron was unable to join us, but it was wonderful.
I love the backstory we've created for Toby, and I think a car accident doesn't sound so bad. Who knows.
Third place in your division!? Very nice! Congratulations.
Only a few more days until Faust's "official" debut! I'm looking forward to hearing it.
Debra handles the darkness very well. I enjoy it.
The lack of a reaction has grown on me, just showing how far gone he really is. Either way, it's heart wrenching.
I don't know who would be charged, it doesn't seem like the Beyblade world has much of a legal process.
I think Toby does know that he has done this. If anything, his friends remind him that he wasn't in control, but I think it affects him often in his day to day life. It also explains why he's less aggressive in the next season.
Very good analogy with the monsters of yore. It's very similar to that, and I'm just happy Toby came back.
I refer mainly to the voice. He is a little older, but not by much. I call him adult Toby because of everything that happened to him. I'm glad you like the voice.
I wish it was a joke that was done on purpose. Maybe it was, maybe Deb did it because it would be funny. Maybe the writer knew that my name is Benjamin and decided to do it. All I know is that even if it's a coincidence, I love it!
Again, Anime North was just incredible. A rough start, but an AMAZING finish. I loved it and I hope I'm back next year.

That's too bad, I was actually staying at the Sheraton, I didn't get a chance to go to any of the tournaments. We were actually planning on going to the open battle on Friday, but ended up being booked elsewhere.
Did you catch the closing ceremonies? They were amazing. (Plus, I discussed the weekend a little.)
I hope if I'm a guest next year I get to see you.
Did you have a good weekend?

You are both by far, 2 of the best Beyblade Metal Saga voice actors to date. Don't let it go to your head, keep working hard, and keep that good head on your shoulders. =D
I know I have said this all before, but I am also exceptionally proud of nt just you guys, but the rest of the cast as well; the voice acting has really improved since Season One for almost all of the characters.
Now to get on with specifics
zeo Mac: Your are good at emotional voice acting, something I think alot of Beyblade lacks. The parts where you are mad at Masamune, or upset about your friend Toby, or both, are your best. Your character is portrayed as a once kind, innocent friend who took the wrong path and is now angry at the world and especially at his former friend, and I got to say man, those moments of emotional outburts and change in your tone from quiet to crazy to insane are just phenomenal =D.
toby Faust: I have a very similar type of compliment. You go from the quiet, innocent, frail, sick Toby to Mr. bad-carp Faust. Everything about your tone of voice change is perfect. Now please don't feel as if I am not complementing you as much as I did Zeo Mac, as you are both excellent, but I don't feel the need to repeat the same type of compliment. With that said, please know that you are both equally talented at what you do, and I hope that you both continue to pursue voice acting for as long as possible., and seek out more shows for us to enjoy =D
Well, thank you very much. It's been a lot of work, and I really love it. I hope I get the opportunity to work on many more anime series to come.
I'm not offended, I know how much you are complimenting me, and I really do appreciate it.
Thank you for all the comments! It reminds me that I should keep doing it. :-)

DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON GINGKA'S VA!!! But you guys actually put emotion and drama into your acting, and that's what acting's all about! Because of your amazing voice acting, and the amazing story of them, Zeo and Toby/Faust have become my favorite characters!!! I wish you the best of luck throughout your career!
I'm glad that you really like our voice acting.
Rob is a fantastic voice actor, and Gingka was requested to sound the way that he does. I'm not saying that it was bad direction either, it was just a decision that had to be made. The fact that it didn't land on some of the audience as well as it could have is unfortunate. Though LOTS of children like the voice a lot, so I think it did exactly what it intended.
Thank you for the comments, and I'm VERY glad you enjoy our acting so much. I will continue to supply top notch performances for you guys. :-)

And Zeo's VA is one of my absolute favorites in Beyblade Metal Masters! Keep up the good work, Benjamin and Mac!
Now for my questions. Benjamin and Mac, have you two head Toby/Faust's and Zeo's japanese voices in the original version of the Beyblade Metal Masters anime? If so, what do you think of them?
Also, I know this does not have anything to do with you two, but do you know what Cameron Ansell thinks of his role as Masamune? (Masamune is one of my favorite characters!)
And last but not least, hears a picture I drew of Zeo, Masamune, and Toby and their forever enduring friendship! Hope you like it!

Well, Faust's voice is coming, very very soon.
Yes, I have heard the Japanese voices and I quite enjoy them. I find Toby to be a little more subtle than my performances. It's not good or bad, just different.
Unfortunately, I've never asked Cameron how he feels about his character, but I'm sure he enjoys it.
Please upload the picture somewhere else, it didn't work properly and I'd love to see it.

1. Do you have any tips for people starting voice acting? EX: How to find a good manager
2. Do you enjoy playing actual beyblade?
3. How is the set? Are the rest of the actors/actresses nice?
This is just a random question but is it possible I could get you to sign something? If not it's fine XD
1. Work at it a lot. Take courses, go to schools, practice. You'll have to audition for different agencies and the sort. If you REALLY want to do it nothing will stop you.
2. It's fun to battle with Beyblades. No where near as fun as on the show though, I don't blow up stuff when I battle in real life. Heh.
3. Well, we don't often see each other. We record on our own, as all dubs are. It's great, and the other actors that I have met have all been amazing.
Thank you everyone for the questions. Please keep them coming.
Anime North was incredible and I hope to go back as a guest.
Love to you all.
