Anime-zing! Announces Guest Greg Ayres And Final Con Schedule
Davenport, Iowa - April 12, 2013 - The Iowa anime convention, Anime-zing!, is excited to announce that prolific voice actor and DJ Greg Ayres will be appearing at Anime-zing! 2013. Greg will be DJing each night along with several other convention DJs, and will be doing panels and autograph sessions throughout the weekend. Anime-zing! will be held at the Clarion Hotel in Davenport, Iowa from May 3-5, 2013.
Greg Ayres has spent the last eleven years working in an industry he had admired for years as a fan. With almost 200 credits to his name, this fan-boy has managed to get to play a variety of characters that are almost as colorful as his hair. He was thrilled to be a part of the Toonami return this summer, voicing the roles of Ganta Igarashi in Deadman Wonderland, and Heihachi Hayashida in Samurai 7. He was also thrilled to reprise his role of Son Goku in the Saiyuki Gaiden OAV's this year, and just wrapped up recording the role of Makoto Kobayashi in the award winning animated film Colorful.
Some of his other recent roles include Sion in No. 6, Heisuke Toudou in Hakuōki, Arikawa in This Boy Can Fight Aliens!, Tomoki Sakurai in Heaven's Lost Property, and Volken in The Book of Bantorra. Other favorite roles include Chrono in Chrono Crusade, Kaoru Hitachiin in Ouran High School Host Club, Youhei Sunohara in Clannad, Yuki in The Wallflower, Leo in Ghost Stories, Satoshi Hiwatari in D.N.Angel, Kaworu Nagisa in The Director's Cut of Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Negi Springfield in Negima!. He can also be heard as Uesugi Kenshin in Sengoku Basara, Seikechi Tayama in Oh! Edo Rocket, Hiro Hirono in ef: a tale of memories, Abe in Big Windup!, Jr. in Xenosaga: The Animation, Tsujido in Speed Grapher, Roan in Ragnarok The Animation, Yamazaki in Welcome to the NHK, Gau Ban in Shadow Skill, Pope Alessandro XVIII in Trinity Blood, and a bunch of other titles he'll probably forget to mention.
When he's not in a booth with headphones on, you can usually find him sporting headphones of another variety behind "the decks". A veteran nightclub DJ of many years, he jumped at the opportunity to play music at conventions. From packed rooms at anime conventions, to the legendary stage of The Knitting Factory (NYC), he never misses an opportunity to share his love of music with anyone who will listen.
Anime-zing!'s final guest list includes Greg Ayres, LittleKuriboh, Dr. Awkward, Quinton Flynn, Sony Strait, and the Kojokan Dojo. Bios can be found at http://qcanimezing.com/guests
