/
We had a chat with Christine Marie Caboanos the voice of Madoka Kaname from the Anime show Puella Magi Madoka. We talk about the show, Madoka and many more check it out. Anime Rules!!!
OtakusandGeeks.com: What attracted you to the character, and what do you like best about playing her?
Christine Marie: I love how true and genuine she is. She wears her heart on her sleeve and I find that to be very endearing. My favorite part about playing Madoka is her emotional journey throughout the series. She goes through a full range of emotions and it was very enjoyable to portray.
OtakusandGeeks.com: How do you prepare doing the voice of your character? Do you have a special routine or is it just as easy as taking an "actors breath"?
Christine Marie: Once we set the voice and I hear my vocal reference for the character, I just go through a few of the lines in the voice to get it warmed up. Then we go for it!
OtakusandGeeks.com: Without spoiling too much, what can fans expect from the series?
Christine Marie: Expect the unexpected.
OtakusandGeeks.com: Here at Otakus & Geeks we watch a lot of anime and play a lot of videogames. Is everyone into anime and manga? If so what are some of your favorite anime and manga?
Christine Marie: I’ve been a longtime fan of Anime and videogames. Some of my favorite anime series include Cardcaptor Sakura, Battle Atheletess, K-ON!, Eureka Seven, Gurren Lagann and lots more. As for video games, I really love the Final Fantasy series and Fighting games like Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom.
OtakusandGeeks.com: Also if you game what games are you playing at the moment?
Christine Marie: Zelda Skyward Sword! And I’m trying to get started on Final Fantasy XIII-2. I’m also really excited for Skullgirls to be released!
OtakusandGeeks.com: When it comes to choosing a role, do you have a particular genre you prefer? Or is it all about the character and what you can bring to the table?
Christine Marie: I don’t usuallly get to choose the roles I play, but I’m up for all types of genres. I do particularly enjoy “Slice of Life” and Comedy.
OtakusandGeeks.com: If given the chance to switch roles with each other, which character would you like to play and why?
Christine Marie: I think I would enjoy playing Kyoko Sakura. She has bite to her and I don’t get to play feisty girls as often as I do nice ones. She would be really fun to voice.
OtakusandGeeks.com: Time to answer some of the fans questions. Maki asked: Which character in the series
do you think has the best fashion sense based on their style of clothing?
Christine Marie: I personally love Homura’s clothing . Her magical girl costume is so sleek and pretty. I love the black stockings with heels. Very classy.
OtakusandGeeks.com: Would you ever cosplay as your character?
Christine Marie: Definitely! Her costume is so cute and girly. Plus I’ve always wanted a bubblegum pink wig!
OtakusandGeeks.com: Finally we always end our interview with some words of wisdom for our readers and your fans?
Christine Marie: Time waits for no one. Also, put chips in your sandwich.
