Love Live! Cover Group Project
takaras rubesty for Pure First Year
EDIT: This role was originally for a Pure character who has the range of both soprano and mezzo-soprano due to unstable character designs.
Anyone auditioning for the Smile First Year will be required to be very flexible with their character because the first years have been the most trouble for designing.
To show how much drastic changes there were in our character designing: Fuyue (the current first year cool) was originally a Pure type and Chie (the previous first year smile) was also originally a Pure type! There's no telling if there's going to be more changes in the first years.
Take any first year or second year Pure girl for inspiration because I think the third year Pures are too mature compared to their underclassmen.
Auditioning for the first year pure will require you to have a young girl voice that would fit a first year girl in highschool. Make sure to have energy! Auditioning for this role if you have a naturally light voice is recommended.
First years are expected to have a young sounding voice as they are the youngest in our group. We expect auditions from singers around the ages of 13 to 16, however, it's not a strict rule and it should not scare you away from auditioning for this role!

Read the project description and character description before auditioning.
You must sing Bokura no LIVE Kimi to no LIFE *AND* for your second song you must sing a solo from a Pure girl /or/ choose a song from Printemps or CYaRon!. **YOU MAY NOT USE NAWATOBI FOR YOUR AUDITION!**
The length of the singing does not matter, but singing at least thirty seconds is recommended. Adding extra songs to show off your other range is a good idea too!
Off-track is recommended so we can hear your timing, but it's not required.
Due to many auditions having trouble with voice acting with no lines, I've decided to write up mock-up character lines! Feel free to try any kind of character voice with them and you can change it up however you want. You can even just make your own if you'd like!
The lines were based on the "Love Live! Sunshine!! Hajimemashite!" scripts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ0T2Xs8OYo
We will make official "Hajimemashite!" clips for our introductions of our characters once they are completely designed and approved. If you'd prefer to use a clip you already have of voice acting then you can use that too.
The names and characters are fake were purely made for your voice acting audition, but the personalities were made in the thoughts of each attribute and year! I would like to clarify that this is not your character and that it's just to give you something to work with. I threw in some of the names of the current members to give it a more personal feeling, but the characterisation of the mentioned members might be off, haha. You can do whatever you'd like with the lines!
Tanaka (Family name) Koharu (Given name)
Ramuna High School (High School)

EnlightEn (Rival idol group)
Long VA Lines
"We're already recording? But I thought you said- Uh, uh- hi! I mean, hello? Hello I'm Tanaka Koharu from Ramuna High. I'm a first year student and a school idol in the new school idol group Ai♥doru!
We've been getting a lot of attention recently! Getting a lot of nice messages from all of you makes me excited to do another live show!~ Saki said that I look like a marshmallow and I'm not sure what she means, but I think she said that because I've been really happy lately! It's because that I can make people happy by doing what I love, and that makes me happy too! The rising popularity is making me nervous because that means people might compare us to EnlightEn and notice my shortcomings... I almost fell during the last live and I cried afterwards because I was so embarrassed after all that practising! W-wait I probably shouldn't have said that! Uh, Emi stop the recording! Could you please delete this recording and make another one? (Emi: Don't worry we'll edit it out so just keep going!) I don't think you're being truthful to me! T-turn it off before I accidentally say something I regret! E-Emiiii!!"
Short VA Lines
I'm Tanaka Koharu, a first year student at Ramuna High. I enjoy sweets, snacks, and just about any junkie food I can get my hands on! (Normal)
Yeah, I'm all set! So we're going to a cake shop? I want to buy a whole cake, hehe!(Happy)
Even if she's really cute, I don't want to watch two hour marathons of Tama-chan!! I want to watch EnlightEn's new live show! (Anxious)
We got real fanmail!? Oh my god, what is it? Is it a letter? Did we get chocolates? I want to see! But is it for me...? C-could you check for me please? (Excited/Wary)
I'm really glad that we can speak together like this. I really appreciate that we're friends, I feared that we would drift apart like everyone else... But I didn't have to worry about that did I? (Heartfelt)
I'm not good at being a school idol! I don't know what to do! I don't want to leave Ai♥doru, but I don't want to bring you all down! Waaaah! (Miserable)
I thought I could put up with this and that you'd understand that you've been hurting me, but you seriously don't know what you've done, do you!? (Seething)
Introduce yourself in the audio clip or in comments! We'd love to know more about yourself so we can ensure that you'd be a good fit for our project!

I finally my got to record again! Also, when singing love marginal, I forgot that I hit my mic while recording! Also, I tried to edit the quality differently this time, but I dont like it much.... I can redo the whole thing if you want me too. Name: Sakura Age: 14. I auditioned for a first year cuz that is the youngest one. (In Japan I dont think I would be in highschool...yet) Places to find me: Skype. It is the same as my user name. I also have an email. Favorite idol: A tie between Rin and Hanamaru My attribute: I personally think it is a smile but my friends told me I'm more of a pure, so idk which one... Favorite types of characters: Umm... I would like to model my character after a shy person (like me irl) or someone who loves baking.... Basically close to my personality. Current projects: only my own. The schedule isn't busy at all, so I'm fine Voice types and ranges: ummm... Well my voice is more higher pitched than normal people my age I guess... I can only do a little child voice rip (I tried to sound like a highschooler on my audition) Anything else: I dont know when I will post a voice acting audition.... This project looks really cool and even if I dont get in, I am still going to support it! (Also, in love marginal, I tried to soften my voice a bit to fit the pure attribute... Idk if it worked...)
Your voice is very cute! However, it lacks power even if this audition is for a pure first year. Softening your voice isn't a good idea in my opinion. I think you would benefit a lot from practicing more since practicing is the key to everything! I can't figure out if it's your voice or your phone, but it sounds very metallic? Do you have a better quality mic that you would be able to reaudition with? You auditioned before when this casting call's major update introduced voice acting lines so it would be a better idea to try auditioning again. Keep it up, takaras rubesty~
Thank you! I will redo it hopefully this week~
