Hello! My name is Jacob Takanashi. I'm a Texas-Based Voice actor! If you need a voice actor for your Animation, Comic Dub, Audio Drama or anything else, Feel free to contact me! I am confident that I can add quality to your project. Looking forward to hearing from you!
If a film is written off for taxes, the content should instantly become public domain. We the tax payers BOUGHT the film at that point, we should be able to see it, and everything associated with it. It is ours, we paid for it.
Ive been married to
@NagatomiAiri
for years now. And for years this is something we've been trying for. Many Doctors told me that it was unlikely to happen because of me (low sperm count) I'm so happy to announce that we managed to beat the odds. What an amazing Christmas gift 💜
@JonTronShow
This may be a bit of a hyperbole but...this is kind of akin to book burning. It's like YouTube is obsessed with becoming what IT WANTS to be. And could care less about what IT IS.
I've been married to this goofball for YEARS. We've been in a romantic relationship for much much longer. After a long paperwork trial with immigration, many late night calls, lots of tears and time. she can FINALLY come live with me in the USA... This week...guys...I'm so happy
I had the absolute privilege of voicing the character Atomu in

I have been given the absolute privilege of voicing the character Griff in Ashley and Dave's new show farfetched! I'm so very grateful for the opportunity! Keep an eye out for the show's developments and support it if you can!
He guys, I'm gonna cancel
@DickPlanet
for the week. I'm spending time with my son, and helping my wife recover. Thank you for understanding and I'll see you guys again real soon <3
Ok I may be a little biased but, I absolutely love this sticker of Griff, and the fact that there is merchandise of a character I voice just makes me squee.
@squiderdoodle
I say again, you did an amazing job <3
Meet Griff! 🦝

It warms my lil 2010s emo heart to see so many folks digging the music I had the privilege to sing on for this animated series.
I was in a few garage bands in the 2010s, so this was a lived experience for me.
We got some new tracks coming soon! Hot and fresh for your earholes.
Hey, freaks! There's a lot of new faces around here, so thought we'd re-share Sesamoid's first big single & lyric video "Adventricular" so you can witness the gang in action! 🎸

and I could do a photoshoot for some clothes from her online shop! Here's a small sample from our shoot, the weather is amazing today!
I woke up only to find out that
@RobinhoodApp
is no longer allowing you to buy shares of AMC or GameStop.... It is now more apparent than ever that the super rich operate on a different set of laws, separate from the rest of society... Holy shit.
My team and i had a whole lotta fun making this with Dave. This passed through so many talented musicians. I wanted to make sure it was a quality project. check out my team's socials in the description!
Surprise! I teamed up with the incredible Jacob Takanashi (

In case you needed a reminder that Twitter is not real life. Only 23 % of US adults use twitter. And 97% of content on the platform is produced by the top 25% of that 23%. This is a tiny sliver of the population. according to a new study released by pew research center.
The sentiments you see expressed on Twitter come from a very small slice of the population, as a new
@pewresearch
study again makes clear. Only 23% of US adults use Twitter in the first place, and only 25% of *those* adults account for 97% of the tweets.
It's always a privilege to work with Meatcanyon. You can hear me voice the character Thomas in this toon. The animation is STELLAR. Papa meat and his team KILLED it on this one!
Today I had to say goodbye to one of my closest friends. He had lost a lot of weight very suddenly, and refused to eat or drink. An x-ray found fluid in his chest cavity. Tests confirmed cancer. His condition would have only worsened, so the vet suggested I let him go...
As someone who primarily makes their living dubbing other content into English, it's been wild to hear so many Far-fetched dubs. It's interesting to me to hear so many different interpretations of Griff! (Especially the singy bits)
Oh boy, you guys have no idea the treat you are in for. The guys working on this music are some of the most talented guys I've ever known. This music will be amazing, just you wait.
I think an element we don't talk about enough is in addition to the animated show aspect, the in universe band is a fully functioning band with multiple songs we plan to release outside of episodes

When talking about past styles, I would always have to say
"I can't have my long hair anymore because I'm working a corporate Job and they won't allow it"
....well I'm a full time Voice Actor as of a month ago....
I'm growing my hair out again.
Today just keeps getting better and better
(We are safe by the way, a couple valuables stolen... A little shaken but we will see how insurance handles everything)
I always have so much fun when I have the opportunity to sing in character! If you're curious what Griff sounds like when he is singing, you wont have to wait much longer! Sesamoid's first music video officially releases Sept 24th!
The clock is counting: 3, 2, 1! Sesamoid's debut song "Adventricular" & accompanying lyric video are coming September 24th! Let's get this motor going!

Companies, if you're using an AI voice for your commercial, I'm just going to assume your product is subpar.
If you can't afford to pay for real, authentic reads for your AD of all things..Then I'm gonna assume you also can't pay for Quality Assurance, R&D, supply chains, Etc.
Adventricular turned 1 recently! To celebrate the skeleton man himself has given me permission to share some old BTS footage I took of the vox tracking process! Portraying Griff for
@FarFetchedShow
has been a ton of fun. Thank you always for the privilege of entertaining you.
I've talked about this on our show before but not publicly yet.
I'm moving to rural Japan within the next few months. I plan on doing a ton of videos and IRL streams about life in the Japanese countryside and what it is like.
100% serious by the way.
Hey!
@SesamoidBand
is releasing our next original single "Creature Feature" on the 26th! I'd be super grateful if you went and presaved it on Spotify! As always, it's such an honor and a privilege to be given the opportunity to entertain you all <3 I had a blast singing this one!
What Im thankful for this Thanksgiving <3
This series is what gave me my start in VO. I owe a lot to it, and to you all. While I have gone on to voice in other things in the meantime, this series will always feel like home to me.
I'm so happy to see so many ppl excited for it!

Seriously though, you guys are going to love this band. I can't wait for you to hear!!!
I have to hand wax my car because of all the decals, It's a pain in the ass but I'm always glad I did afterwards. Those automatic car washes risk damaging the wrap.. My ShineyBoi
I'm so excited for everyone to hear! What's crazy is that everyone who worked on this, from myself singing, to Hunter doing guitar, Brett doing drums and mastering...the artists doing the lyric video...we are all remote. Hell, I'm in Tokyo! Remote work is not dead and CAN work!
As of today I have been married to
@NagatomiAiri
for 5 years <3 I couldn't ask for a better partner. You have been an amazing wife, and I'm positive you will be an amazing mother as well. Happy anniversary, darling.
Ayy, you can hear me sing on this Sesamoid cover of It's Terror Time again from the film Scooby-doo on zombie island. A lovely little Halloween treat from the Far-fetched team to your earholes.
I love pre-lay VO. I get the chance to give my own take on the performance and work with the creators to help mold the character. With dubbing, you just kinda follow the intention of the OG voice. Both are fun though! Hope you love watching Griff as much as I love portraying him!
This Far-Fetched Friday, Griff reminds us that even when everything feels upside down, there's always a bright side! ☀

This is hilarious. If you get this email, (I think this goes without saying but) it's totally fake. It's insane the lengths some groups will go to. Lmao
Far-Fetched patrons will get to hear the first Sesamoid song from our pilot in tonight’s production update!
Support the show for as little as $1 a month on Patreon to join in the fun.
Ayy check out this terror time cover the Sesamoid boys are cooking up. Just in time for Halloween! It's always a privilege to have the opportunity to sing for you all <3
It's Far-Fetched Friday, and we've got a little treat for your ear-holes. Take a peek at this early demo of Sesamoid's first cover: "Terror Time" from Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island! 🎸
Coming before Halloween! 🎃

Our tax system is so weird.
IRS: "We know exactly how much you owe but instead of telling you, you have to guess. And if you get it wrong, we're gonna penalize you."
Hey guys, I hate to do this but, I'm in no condition to stream. I've come down with Covid. (Yes, I'm Vaxxed) Don't worry though! I'll be fine!! I just need to rest up. I just wanted to let you guys know, I won't be streaming until next week, probably. Take care and see you soon!
I LOVE doing covers, but Sesamoids original music gets me so hype. I'm so glad you guys have been digging it too! Creature Feature coming soon!
(Also, did you notice the crowd in this shot are caricatures of the music team? Dave and I on the left, Hunter and Brett on the right!)
Freaks, the lyric video for Sesamoid's first original song "Adventricular" is SO CLOSE to hitting 200K views!
We'd love to reach that goal before their upcoming second single "Creature Feature" drops, so check it out below!
Being a voice actor and having a soundproof booth is a godsend for new parents. Ain't nothing waking this kid up.
Soundproof booth plus baby monitor equals restful sleep for baby and Dad
I'm honestly floored. Nothing I've ever had a part in making has EVER gotten any sort of attention like this... Thank you all so much <3 it really does mean a lot to me
Our metal cover of

In addition to Voice Acting, I am also a trained Singer and have lent my voice to a multitude of different projects spanning across several genres of music. If you need somebody to sing for your project, I would greatly appreciate your consideration!
Thank you everyone for your kind words about Griff's Cover of shiny teeth <3
Sorry if I don't reply to all of them, I'm honestly not used to this kind of thing, ha-ha😅
Just know that I'm very grateful and flattered that ANYONE at all Is listening. 💕🙏
