Being a professional voice actor is more than having a great voice. Rookie seiyuu Futaba Ichinose must learn about the hard work, determination, and heart that goes into being the voice behind beloved characters.

Luckily, she's not alone! Ichigo Moesaki, a self-claimed princess from Planet Strawberry, and Rin Kohana, a seasoned professional since the age of five, will be at her side when they form the seiyuu unit, Earphones. But even being in a unit won't be enough to guarantee Futaba's success if she can't land more roles. Follow these three girls and learn just what it takes to be a professional voice actor.
