Meet Scott
McNeil: From his obvious enjoyment of the sunny California area, Scott really enjoyed
the West Coast convention circuit and wants to come more often. Highlights from his
panel also included his input on freeform acting in various anime and Saturday morning
cartoons, various vocal examples of his characters such as Duo from Gundam Wing, and various
personal experiences gained from the voice acting industry. |

resources, the best albums and music videos to buy, where to find J-Rock doujinshis, the best magazines

the panelists showed off their latest and greatest collection of Doremi paraphernalia
