Panel Info

Hey Prospective Panelists.

We don’t know when panel applications will be going live. At this point in time we don’t feel it’s fair to put the extra burden of the content review policy on you as well as a reduced submission timeline so we will be removing the content review policy for 2025 and revisiting it in 2026. 

We are sorry for the false starts when it has come to panel submissions this year and will let you all know as soon as we know anything definitive.

Thank you for your patience.

Guest Announcement: J. Michael Tatum

Evoto

Nurtured on anime classics from a tender age, he spent more years than he cares to remember in what might charitably be called free-fall before landing, mostly by accident, smack dab on the industry of his dreams.

Tatum can also be heard in My Hero Academia as Teyna Iida, Louis in Fire Emblem: Engage, Moran in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and more recently asCid Highwind in Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth.

Other characters the man still can’t believe he’s had the crazy luck to play include: Eneru in One Piece, Ryosuke Takahashi in Initial D, Zarbon in Dragon Ball Z Kai, Scar in Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Acnologia in Fairy Tale, and Erwin Smith in Attack on Titan. His video game credits include Sir Hammerlock from the Borderlands franchise, Julius Kresnik from Tales of Xillia 2, Mr. Foster from Killing Floor 2, Kelvin and Pendles from Battleborn, a slew of characters from SMITE, and many, many more.
