[Student's Voice]
◎Name: LIN PIN CHEN ◎Country of Origin: Taiwan
Toho Gakuen has a high profile in the entertainment industry, and it immediately caught my eye when I was researching schools. As an international student, I was attracted not only to the opportunity to study specialized subjects, but also to the many opportunities to work part-time and gain experience in the industry. Since enrolling, I've felt that I'm learning a wide range of subjects because there are many different types of classes and I'm exposed to various fields.

◎Name: APIWATTANACHAI POOHRI ◎Country of Origin: Thailand
Tokyo Announce Professional Training College is a school that changed my life. It gave me hope and passion for the voice acting industry. For international students, pursuing a career in voice acting is not easy. However, through the "Basic Acting Skills" class, I learned that even beginners can gradually grow as actors while maintaining hope.
