Yin & Young EP24 - The King of VO: Feodor Chin

December 04, 2017 in Asian American, Acting, Filmmaking, Relationships


Apologies for the delay! Yin is busy with family business and Young is currently traveling.

In this episode, we're speaking with film/tv, theatre, and voice actor Feodor Chin!

Noted voice actor for Overwatch as Zenyatta.

The only time he has ever played Zenyatta was at an eSports Convention at UCSD.

"Experience Tranquility" is the sound byte that Feo likes most.

Went to high school in San Francisco and had an inkling to act.

His major was no longer offered the year he matriculated into UCLA.

Started acting in the Bay Area, most notably at a theater in the Tenderloin.

The first couple of years back in LA as an actor was mostly commercials.

Most roles don't require an accent.

James encounters a racist while getting some Mexican food.

Feo has only experienced outward racism in LA.

Has dabbled with online dating prior to meeting his current girlfriend.

Feo's tweeting has become more political since 45 has been elected.

You may have heard Feo's voice on audible.

"Big Little Lies" is Feo's pick for the best TV show this year.

Listen to get all the details!  Much appreciation to Feodor Chin for joining us.

 

LANGUAGE CORNER

James - Taiwanese: 眼睛 (bagciw) - eyes

Dan - Yangchow dialect: 十三點 (Shi San Dian) - 13th hour, silly

Feo - Cantonese: 咸湿佬 (Ham Sup Lo) - dirty old man, pervert
