◇ Voice actor Kang Hee-sun (hereinafter Kang Hee-sun): Hello. Nice to meet you.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Then are you born with this? Or did you practice your voice and trim it?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: I can trim my voice. I'm born with a voice.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes. But did you take the lead as soon as you entered the open recruitment?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: No. The first thing I said was... the waitress in the coffee shop. "Miss Kim, a cup of coffee." Then, "Yes!" I started there.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes. Then when did you become the main character?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: After a month or two. . I'll do a personal show right away.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: But after a month or two in the broadcasting industry, it's not easy to do a personal program with the main character.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: It's not an easy thing, but I think I was lucky.

◆ You're using luck again. The effort.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: No. Effort is effort, but luck has to follow.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes. But after that, Julia Roberts and others... I said that. What kind of actors did you act as?

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Example

◇ Kang Hee-sun: What. Uma Summer. Uma Summer, Sharon Stone, Kilville.

◆ When you act their voices, do you study after watching all their screens or videos? Or is it just coming out?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: It doesn't come out. It never comes out. Now, let's give a preview.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu : current events

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Let's take a look at it like this in advance. Watching a movie, looking at the eyes. I have to look at the emotion line, right? the character of an actor

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Actor's personality

◇ Kang Hee-sun: What's next? the way one walks

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Gaiting

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Facial expression.

◆ Lee Sung Kyu: Yes.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: The way he talks.

◆ Lee Sung Kyu: Yes.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: When you play the emotional line. "How do you do it?" I mean, we don't express joy, sorrow, and pleasure in the same way.

◆ Lee Sung Kyu: Yes.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Some people press and press like this, and others become calm. Some people just get angry and explode. in anger You don't care about others. Just as there is such a difference, we do a lot of research on it. And if I do Sharon Stone, that's how I dress. On the day of recording.

◆ While recording.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: And a little bit since a month ago. I listen to a lot of R&B songs. So, it's a bit... It's just sticky. Then

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: You've always had image training and practice, haven't you?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Yes. I was like that.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes, but in a way, I think it was more difficult than that actor.
◇ Kang Hee-sun: That's possible. Because actors can be covered with facial expressions and faces, but voice actors have to do it only with their voices, so it can be difficult.

◆ There were a lot of senior actors in the past. There were a lot of voice actors, right?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Because the media in Korea itself comes first.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: I know.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Or Jeon Won-joo. The late teacher Kim Moo-saeng. And Choi Bulam, who is currently active, all started with voice actors.

◆ But our Kang Hee-sun. Have you ever shown your face like this and acting like this?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: I filmed a movie called Moonlight Hunting once.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Moonlight hunting.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Yes. After acting to a certain extent, I gave up my seat to my juniors. I said, "I want to be a play or an actor." I lost a little bit of my health then.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: That's right.

◆ That's why they're called "the empress of the subway announcement." Do voice actors change a bit during the announcement? Or do you just consistently use Mr. Kang's?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: No, it's not. Once a year.

◆ Does it change once a year?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Yes. We also audition with the voices of three or four people.

◆ Lee Sung Kyu: Yes.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: To the Korea Transportation Corporation. Then take the people and choose from there. Choose your voice. But the reason why it has to change once a year is... The citizens' complaints are no joke. So I said, "What's wrong with your voice? I feel bad. . Why is your voice so bright? ", "What did you sell?" " Something like this. I mean, "Why are you so unkind? " This is what

◆ Do you just go in?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: That's what you just put in as a complaint. People. So you have to solve that problem now. As a result, it changed once a year. I haven't had any complaints since then.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: There was no such incident?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: That's why I kept doing it.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Then that's comfortable.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: No. That's not true.

◆ What else? Why did I do that?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: The colorless and odorless when I do that.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Colorless and odorless.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Don't give me emotion. Do it without feeling anything.

◆ Was that the guideline?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Yes. Because when you go to work, when you go home. Because they all feel differently.

◆ Lee Sung Kyu: Yes.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Each person will feel differently.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: So don't say that, just do it without thinking.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: So some people are recording in this book

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: "Did you get a recording?"

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Some people say that, so I was shocked. So I changed it little by little after that. In my style.

◆ Does it still come out these days?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: My voice? Lines 1 to 8. Then, the Busan subway.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: You do all of Seoul and Busan?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Yes. Korail also did it, but it changed to AI.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Korail.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Yes. With AI.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Can we hear that comment?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: This station says, "There's no one like this again. " It's a station.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Oh...! Everyone will come to Sangam-dong. Oh, that's so familiar. After hearing that. If I record the subway once, will it continue to be used? Or do I have to change it from time to time?

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: The tape is stretched out.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: So we liked it. Since I get voice acting fees again.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes. I got paid for voice acting again.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: When the station changes.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Station name

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: The name of the station was changed. When the horizontal station is added again.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: That's right. Yes. Additionally, only when that happens.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes. But when you do this subway broadcast... Which part do you pay the most attention to?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: It's very hard. The subway recording. It's the easiest to say this right now. Drama is the easiest.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: The drama is rather...

◇ Kang Hee-sun: You can't give it this high and low. There's no room for me to breathe while I'm talking.

◆ Oh, that's right.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Just the same Mimi, Rerere, Mimi. About one note difference. So if you do it for a long time, your voice will turn upside down.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: But how long did it take you to record one line this year?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: In the past, the entire route took a week. all day long Not all day, five hours a day. But these days, the machine is getting better, so it's over in four to five hours.

◆ Lee Sung Kyu: Yes.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Since we started, there are some things that we can't change. I think that's why I did it for a long time. I also play Maenggu. Big-faced, snoring boy. "It's my rock. "It's my rock". "I love rock so much".

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes. But you also had chemotherapy, right? How did it feel? My health these days?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: But some people relapse after 10 years.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes. But I don't think... I think the complexion is good.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: I see. People.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: But during this chemotherapy. Was there a change in your voice? You didn't?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: 1 week. I have a little sore throat for about 3 to 4 days after getting cancer.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: The tone is getting a little lower

◇ Kang Hee-sun: It's not lowering the tone, it's husky

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: I get husky.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: I can't sing high notes. So next week, it's okay.

◆ Is it coming back?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: It's coming up. And the sound always comes out when I can walk. I can't even lose my energy.

◆ What's that? Can you walk? If you can walk

◇ Kang Hee-sun: No one else does. No, so when I can walk around on my feet. With your own feet. So as long as I'm not lying in bed, my voice comes out. That's what happened to me. Crayon Shin-chan's mom gives me a lot of strength, too. It puts a lot of energy into it.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: But you must have done all that while fighting cancer?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: I did. Then I came home and stretched out. A few days. I kept doing it. Continue

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: That dubbing. You dubbed it. But this dubbing. . I'm a little curious, so I'd like to ask. Our country keeps losing dubbing, right? I'll turn it into subtitles.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: It's wrong.

◆ Why is that?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: It's because of the money problem. out of money

◆ Oh. There's more dubbing?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: It goes in a lot. It goes in a few tens of times.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: But in Eastern Europe, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand... It's not a country with money, but they dub all of it.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: That's right. Korea imports movies now, right? Then everyone goes out as dubbing. But they don't have a voice actor. The actors. Anyway, you love your own language. That's how our country is normal, too.

◆ That's what you have to do.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Yes.

◆ Why is that? Is that better delivered?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Because dubbing not only delivers well, but also purifies our language. These days, the language is rough, right? But when we read subtitles in a foreign language, we miss the screen and don't know what it means.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: That's right. I miss the screen.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: I miss it. Then your eyes get worse. So in foreign countries, everything that's done in theaters is dubbed a lot.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Oh, that's what it is. I thought we were going ahead.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: No way.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: But then again, "Is that possible? ", Back to this neck care. Your throat. You're taking care of it on a daily basis, right?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: I don't do it.

◆ Lee Sung Kyu: Yes?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: I don't do it.

◆ Aren't you going to do it?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Yes.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: But it's maintained?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Yes.

◆ How do you take care of your throat?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: As long as you don't catch a cold.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: That's right. But they're not singers.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Singers make high notes. You scream a lot, right? I think it's going to be really hard. For me.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: And what I know a long time ago... He's a very famous male voice actor. He has something on his neck. He thought a lot about it.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Because the sound turns upside down. If that happens,

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes. So if that doesn't happen, voice actor Kang Hee-sun doesn't take care of his voice very much.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: I don't do it. Just be careful not to catch a cold.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu : Cold only

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Even if you catch a cold, you have to come out and do it again. Let's say that again.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Well, there are many kinds of dubbing, right? Foreign currency dubbing, cartoon dubbing. Well, there's something like this. You were also a radio DJ, right?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: There's also a game.

◆ You also narrated a lot. What was the most interesting thing?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: It's a radio drama.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu : a radio drama

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Radio drama. Because I can use my time as I please.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Then it's acting there, right?

◇ Since it's acting,

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Although it's voice acting.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Yes. You have to follow other people's lips for dubbing. I can't breathe when I want to. I can't emphasize it when I want to. Radio dramas are just my time. as I want.

◆ So it's the first person life of a voice actor and actor. That's...

◇ Kang Hee-sun: That's right.

◆ My life.

◇ It's my life.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Oh, I see. But if we go back to dubbing. When dubbing, Mr. Kang was immersed in it like this. Is that how you react? What about the work you were immersed in?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: I still don't know. I've never been criticized. I do my best. I'm always doing my best.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes. Why did you become a voice actor in the beginning?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: I'm from Seoul National University.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Seoul Art Exhibition.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Professor Kim Hyo-kyung is there. "Your voice is perfect for voice acting. "

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: It's perfect. .

◇ Kang Hee-sun: "Seong-woo, be a voice actor. "

◆ Be a voice actor.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: So in the 2nd grade,

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes. When I was in the second grade.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: I joined TBC in spring. It was 300 to 1. Five out of 1,500 women. It's still strong. The ratio is.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: That TBC became KBS later, right?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: It's integrated.

◆ It's integrated, right? There were a lot of seniors from there.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Then they're all stars.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes. Announcers also...

◇ Kang Hee-sun: That's right.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: That's right. But now... Can I build a career with Kang as a voice actor?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: We don't have a lot of chances now. There's no dubbing. The only thing I have is cartoons.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: A cartoon.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: I don't think comics are that active as the number of children decreases. The cartoon is.

◆ It turns into a webtoon.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: The dubbing is almost gone. That's the saddest thing. We have to find our words. You have to make it pure. How many curses do you get when you hear it in the original language? Foreign movies. Right? But even if I don't understand anything else, I understand all the curses.!

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes. But the trend is changing like this. In the midst of this... I think the voice trend will change according to the trend. Change.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: In the past, you did it weird when you did it, right? "It's been a long time, Mr. Seo. " I was like this. Yes. Then we'll all break up now.

◆ This is fun.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: That's right. "I love you so much. " I was like this. That's really...

◆ These days,

◇ Kang Hee-sun: It's over. End.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes. But earlier, you said that AI voice actor has been replaced. I also think that a person's voice, not a mechanical sound, would come into my heart better.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Of course. You have emotions. Sure. It's persuasive.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: It's persuasive.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: AI is a combination. Not at all.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: That's right.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Some people call it a trend.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Reading spaces, this isn't working well either?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Of course. I'm putting it on.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes. A lot of things. "Seong Wu is difficult". Someone said that. Nevertheless, I think it's been summarized as, "Seong Wu still has this kind of charm right now."

◇ Kang Hee-sun: It's charming. After living a life that I can't live through videos. It's so charming. I don't have any regrets even if I die while doing this. It's attractive.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: But. Since I'm seeing you like this. I think the pronunciation, spelling, and things like this are quite accurate.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: All voice actors are like that.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Do you study this separately? No,

◇ Kang Hee-sun: I got used to acting. That's why it's so catchy.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Example

◇ Kang Hee-sun: It's just a support. Then, the vowel sound. "Why", "Hwan", and "Environment". That's the difference. There's no difference.

◆ Lee Sung Kyu: Yes.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Because it's accurate. It sounds like it's accurate.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: But now that's exactly what he said. Pronunciation is also the way to connect with the announcer. .

◇ Kang Hee-sun: It works.

◆ Isn't something a little different?

◇ Kang Hee-sun : Emotional line

◆ Lee Seong-gyu : Emotions

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Voice actors are kind of natural. Anyhow.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: That's right.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: That's why you put on makeup. In your voice.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes. Do you feel sad after the dubbing?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Well, rather than being disappointed. Especially after acting on a radio show, it's been a month. Usually? There's a one-act play, too. I can't get out of that character for a few months. I was driving and I was like, "Why am I so depressed? Why do I keep getting down? " There are times like this. As it turns out, I did it a while ago. I think it was because of the characters in my acting.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: There are no more dubbing these days. Cartoons are gone. There will be young people who dream of becoming voice actors.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: There are a lot.

◆ Please say something to these people before you wrap this up.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Shall we?

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: I heard that I dream of becoming a voice actor, so I don't want everyone to become a voice actor. Dreams are a good thing. But there are things that people can do. There's something I like, right? Then let's just do what I like as a hobby. Do what you can do to get me done. That's what I want to say.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: But you said, "There was no regret" while you were doing voice acting, right?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: I don't have one.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: But not the role of the voice actor. Looking back on the life of human Kang Hee-sun, what did you think overall?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: I didn't have my own life. I started when I was 20. Just acting. I only looked forward and came all the way here. I have no regrets about that.

◆ You don't even have a retirement age, do you?

◇ Kang Hee-sun: There isn't.

◆ Seong-gyu Lee: That's why Sung-woo will continue to work.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: If you tell me to do it, I have to.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: That's right. Anyway, I want to hear the last part of the dream or the area I want to tap once more in the future.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: I want to play if I have strength.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: A play.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: I want to act, too.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Ah. for example. acting in a certain area. in a play area

◇ Kang Hee-sun: The villain.

◆ Lee Sung Kyu: The villain! I think it's totally the opposite. Huh.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: The villain is very charismatic. It's charming.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Do you have any works in mind? I'm sure the director will hear this. Maybe.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: No, they say it's a villain, so they don't do it all like a villain. a handsome villain a charming villain He's a villain, but he said, "Oh, I want to go out with him closely. "I want to be your friend." I want to be that villain.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: This time, I pray that you will make another great theater career, not the first person in voice acting.

◇ Kang Hee-sun: Thank you.

◆ Lee Seong-gyu: Yes. There's no one like this. Today, they are idols of those who dream of becoming voice actors. Sharon Stone and Shin Chan's mom forever. It was with voice actor Kang Hee-sun. Thank you for the nice words.
