Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni: English Dub (RECASTING FOR SATOSHI)
Bay Doxey for Satoko Hojou
- VOICE RANGE: HIGH -
Satoko is the prankster in the group, always setting traps, mostly for Keichi, during club activities. She’s usually very upbeat and energetic, but can get over emotional at times, crying when things don’t go her way. She hides a past filled with trauma and tragedy. For most of their lives, Satoko and Satoshi lived with an abusive family. Her mother and step father supported the infamous dam project that would have put the town underwater. Her family was thus shunned and called traders by the village. After the cotton drifting festival, three years before Keichi arrived, her parents died while on vacation as a result of the curse. They were then put under the care of their uncle and aunt, where the abuse became worse. Satoko often cried for her brother to save her. This led him to kill their aunt and run away, leaving Satoko behind. These two events became the result of the curse the year before Keichi’s arrival. This caused her to believe that if she took the abuse and didn't cry anymore, Satoshi might come back.
Ooohohohoho! (Trying to sound proper, but with a mocking tone) My my, what do we have here? Keichi, aren’t you a lively one this morning!
(In pain, trying to be brave, determined) If you want to stab me, fine. Go ahead and stab me... But I won’t cry anymore! I’ve learned my lesson now! Ni-ni, look how strong I’ve become…
(Afraid, desperate) Do whatever you want to me! Just don’t go into his room! Please... Dont destroy Ni-ni’s room!!!
This was awesome! Great emotion on all of the lines! I especially liked the first and second one. I feel like the laugh could be even more boisterous and cocky, putting a lot of emphasis on the first “ooo”. Feel free to listen to the Japanese VA for reference. There were some points where the tone of voice to use made her sound a little older than she really is, but that’s an easy fix. Great work overall :-)
