Voice actor Corey Wilder shared insights into his recent roles during an interview at Anime Central, highlighting the creative freedom afforded to him on modern dubs. He noted that while *Gachiakuta* required minimal script changes due to its existing urban coding, *New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt* allowed extensive improvisation. Creators encouraged the cast to inject Gen Z slang and mannerisms, giving actors significant liberty to adapt lines while maintaining narrative integrity.
Wilder also reflected on his portrayal of Land in *Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End*, describing the character as a monotone figure who contrasts with his usual loud or quirky roles. He explained his acting philosophy involves infusing personal experiences into characters to ensure authenticity, viewing diverse roles as welcome challenges rather than preferring specific archetypes. Additionally, he discussed playing Will Serfort in *Wistoria: Wand & Sword*, drawing on his own high school sports experiences to convey the character’s feelings of inadequacy compared to naturally gifted peers.
