Hanyuu (Higurashi) vs Nyu/Lucy (Elfen Lied) - Rap Battle
evangeline for Hanyuu (Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni)
Hanyuu is the spirit deity over Hinamizawa in the Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni series.
Her voice (as portrayed in verse 1 of the rap battle) is cutesy, high pitched and well-spoken.
Her voice (as portrayed in verse 2 of the rap battle) is, while still maintaining a moderately high pitch, filled with brooding anger, resentment and judgment. It is not overly angry, but still packs a harsh bite.
Please study the voice with the reference clips below!
Excerpts from the project's audio demo:

A cover (can be just a single section) of a (preferably rap) song that demonstrates an ability to:
- Be able to be on-beat
- Follow lyric flow
- Be able to do multiple run-on lines/couplets/bars in a single take (optional)
- Have good mic quality (i know this isn't an ability but still)
- Express the character of Hanyuu well
- Be able to express two different tones, a cutesy tone and a harsh tone (see desc.)In your audition, try to adlib some of Hanyuu's mannerisms (auau~, hau!, etc.) (see desc.) into it!

Very impressive! I'm very happy with how your audition demonstrated a good basic level of flow (with some polishing up of the delivery, it would be perfect). Your portrayal of Hanyuu is also quite excellent as well, I love the hauaus in the background! -I'm just curious on how your portrayal would translate into how I wrote the rap battle (I can't tell if its just the song selection or the reverb but the vocals kinda feel a bit soft, but its probably not a problem) Would you mind if I could get you to do a few sections off of the first and second verses of the actual rap battle itself just as a test? (Not to get your hopes up just yet -I would just like to become a bit more confident and sure if you're the perfect casting choice for Hanyuu) And if so -do you mind if we're able to contact through Discord (for convenience)? Or would you rather have me exchange some project files and details over this site's direct messaging system?
