Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni: English Dub (RECASTING FOR SATOSHI)
Ryan Pratt for Kyousuke Irie
- VOICE RANGE: MEDIUM T9 LOW -
Dr. Irie is the head doctor at the clinic. In his spare time, he coaches Hinamizawa’s little league team called the "Hinamizawa Fighters". Although he is cheerful on the outside, he has a not-as-delightful past to go along. Due to his part in the baseball team, many of the children just refer to him as manager or coach. He cares deeply for the Hojou siblings, and wishes he could do more for Satoko in her current situation with Teppei. He’s at a loss, as Satoko keeps denying the abuse, despite the fact that he has seen her with cuts and bruises. Given the chance, he would try to adopt her and give her a much better life. Sadly, things have yet to go his way, even with Teppei’s death in several arcs, as it drives Satoko further into a fragile mental state, thinking that Satoshi may never return now. Irie also has ties with the police, though isn’t fond of Oishi, thinking he may be part of the supposed abuse.
My names Irie. I work at the clinic near by, but I also coach little league in my spare time. You can just call me coach, everyone else does.
(Serious, somewhat worried) You see, Satoko thinks that her Uncles abuse is a test that she has to endure. She honestly thinks that once she passes that test, Satoshi will come back to her.
(Confused, shocked, but trying to stay calm) Well, being that I’m a doctor, there’s no way I can condone any act involving taking another’s life. But I will say this. Thank you... For saving Satoko...
This is awesome. The emotion in each line is spot on. The quality of your voice is a great fit for Irie. The only note I’m going to make is the pronunciation of Satoko and Satoshi is slightly off. The way I’ve heard them, the emphasis goes on the first syllable rather than the second. But that’s an easy fix if your chosen. Great work!
Congratulations!!
Thank you very much! :)
