I was on 163 earlier today and I opened up a suggested video, the narrator's voice sounds strikingly similar to an ex Popup Chinese voice actress, am I crazy or is it true?

Is this really a Popup Chinese voice actor in pictures?

What's wrong with the link, I thought all links were automatic?

Anyway, here's the link to the movie I was referring to.

They're supposed to be, but looks like they were only filtered for in original posts. Just extended that to comments too. Let's try:

On a related note, looks like it's time to add editing support too....

@Trevelyan,

Thanks for linking that up and cleaning up the post. I don't know what happened, I tried to post my message and there was no response, I tried again and again and it finally went through, I went back out to the home page and there was a wall of my messages on the home page.

Editing support is great, especially my most recent post to Echo, eeek! (note to self, never, never, NEVER post something in Chinese in the middle of the night with droopy, saggy eyes. )

Nice that I'm able to go back, clean it up and make it (hopefully) intelligible.

I could swear this girl's voice sounds exactly like Apple!

BTW: Do you have the links to anything that Qin or Apple have appeared in?

No worries. I've kicked myself over the lack of editing support too.

I don't have the links myself, but Echo probably does.

I don't think it's one of ours. Qin and Apple are on television pretty frequently, and Andy does a lot of voiceover work. But I don't think anyone is appearing regularly on CCTV. A lot of the opportunities for younger actors/broadcasters are out on the provincial networks these days.

Do you know, Echo?
Echo on May 23, 2011 | reply
@Xiao Hu,

Here are two videos with Qin in them:

He hosted a TV program called 幸福晚点名 for Jiangsu province last year, so you can find more videos on Youku.
