Fruits Basket Fanfiction Audio Drama
Cantfightthefro for Noa Kaneko
A 40-year-old single mother who is the absolute definition of a Mama Bear. Do NOT hurt this woman's kids, blood or not, or you're in trouble. She has a wonderful relationship with her son, Yuta, and she develops a very protective nature over the other Sohmas, particularly Yuki and Akito.
She is very sassy and manipulative, but in a good "Mom" way to get people to do something that is for their benefit. At the same time, she is also very gentle and reassuring when she needs to be. She is the kind of person who stands up for people who cannot stand up for themselves.
By the end of the story, she has fallen in love with and married Kazuma Sohma, Kyo's foster father.
Voice: motherly, gentle, fiercely protective
Think of Joyce Byers from Stranger Things (in that you do NOT mess with Mama Byers) but more level-headed and not jittery.
(after Akito says she could just return to the main house) I suppose you could. But what might the other members of the family think when the head of the household can’t even last one day outside of the house? Oh, I’m sure they won’t say anything, but they’ll certainly be thinking it.
Akito, we do not throw things in this house! Do you know what you just threw at me?! This was a picture of my late husband, and it is extremely important to me! Just because you don’t get what you want does not give you the excuse to throw things or hit people! Do you understand me?!
(gentle) What I now realize is that you are a strong and beautiful woman who I have been very privileged to know. I don’t care that you’re the head of the Sohma family or that you’re the god of the zodiac. To me, you are first and foremost Akito Sohma. And she is pretty incredible.
Thank you for auditioning! You definitely have the motherly voice I'm looking for. For the first line, you should sound a little more teasing and manipulative (in a Mom way) because Noa KNOWS she has the upper hand. For the second line, Noa loved her late husband and he is her world so all of the yelling should be quicker and much more furious since one of her most beloved possessions has been destroyed. I would love for you to reaudition bearing this in mind! :)
Thanks so much for your feedback!!! I'd love to reaudition, and will incorporate what your looking for! Look forward to speaking to you soon.
