Otakon is a fan-run anime convention that boasts over 40,000 attendees every year, making it the third largest anime convention in the entire United States. One of the attractions that continues to bring in so many people every year is their impressive lineup of celebrity guests. This year, approximately 50 guests are slated to attend, and while the guestlist includes a variety of fields such as musicians, manga and comic artists, anime producers and directors, and VTubers, about half of the guests are voice actors. These artists come from both the United States and Japan and their resumes span anime, video games, and western animation.
The large selection of guests can be a bit overwhelming to look at, so I made this guide for attendees that are specifically looking for voice actors. Here is the full list of all of the voice actors scheduled to appear at Otakon!
English
The English-language voice actors fall under the “Western Guests” category and will be set up at booths in the Dealers Hall (Hall B-C) throughout the weekend. No sign-ups are required; as long as the guest is available at their booth and the line hasn’t been capped, you can just queue up and wait your turn! The items and experiences available for purchase vary from actor to actor, but two options they all have in common are prints and selfies. I have included each guest’s offerings below their Otakon-provided bios; you can view the pricing here.

Japanese
Due to entertainment industry laws, the International Guest autographs are set up quite differently than the Western Guests’. To meet the International Guests in the Autograph Area in Ballroom C, Otakon attendees will need to register in advance through the Guidebook app. You can view the instructions on how to do so here. Registration initially opened on July 18th, but due to technical difficulties many attendees (myself included) were not able to register, so registration will re-open starting July 20th. The new schedule says that attendees will be able to register for Friday sessions on July 20th, Saturday sessions on July 21st, and Sunday sessions on July 22nd, all at 8 PM EDT.
Some actors have independent autograph sessions, but many will be sharing a booth with other International Guests such as producers and directors. The items that they are able to sign are very specific and vary from actor to actor; I have included their options below their bios. While many of the English voice actors offer selfies and voice or video recordings, the Japanese actors do not allow photos, recordings, or touching of any kind.
