Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni: English Dub (RECASTING FOR SATOSHI)
Jindusmer for Satoshi Hojou
- VOICE RANGE: HIGH -
Satoshi is the older brother of Satoko. He is not present through the majority of the story, but is the initiator of many of the events that take place in his absence, namely the serial murders committed in several arcs. Satoshi is a quiet and soft-spoken person who is kind and seemingly calm, although he clearly worries about his younger sister and seems to get frustrated or discouraged rather easily, sometimes having trouble focusing. Their mother and step father died in an accident on the night of the Cotton Drifting festival. As such, Satoshi's aunt and uncle became their foster parents, but both Satoshi and Satoko were abused by them, though Satoshi often took the blows for his little sister. This is only revealed by Shion, as she was always concerned that while Satoshi didn't want to make a fuss, Satoko cried and got attention and sympathy, even though Satoshi was ill as a result of the abuse. He eventually murders his aunt, and runs from town, leaving Satoko and Shion behind.
(Angry, warning) Hey! Stop that! Leave her alone, ok? (Short pause, then friendly) You ok Mion? I think you’re safe now.
(Friendly, a little confused) I thought the conversations Mion and I had in class were a little odd sometimes. Now it makes sense. Nice to meet you, Shion.
(Upset, afraid) What did any of us ever do to you? Why do people always gang up on us? First my parents suffer the village’s wrath, and now that they’re gone it’s our turn? What did we do to deserve this!?
This is very good. I love the emotion here, especially in the third line. I imagine his voice being a little higher though. Not so high where you’re squeezing or voice is cracking. His original Japanese VA had a higher pitch voice, that’s all. Overall, great work :)
Casting for my Higurashi dub is complete. Though you weren’t chosen as part of the main cast, I was still very impressed with your auditions, and thought you did absolutely amazing. I’d still like to extend an invitation for you to join the server if you’d like to come on board and voice some of the minor characters! There are tons of them in this project! So there are plenty of opportunities for those who weren’t cast to still participate! Private message me if interested and I’ll give you the discord link :)
