Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni: English Dub (RECASTING FOR SATOSHI)
Sam64 for Keichi Maebara
- VOICE RANGE: MEDIUM -
Keichi is the protagonist in several story arcs. He serves as the audiences perspective, as a newcomer to Hinamizawa. He is very outgoing, charismatic, and friendly, very popular with the underclassmen who often look up to him. He cares about his friends, and wants to help them in any way he can, even if it means killing someone to ensure their safety, or If the secrets he uncovers lead to some of his friends being the culprait for a crime. He starts off knowing close to nothing about Hinamizawa, or its residents. Over time, he realizes that their ancient legends of Oyashiro could actually be true. This causes him to become easily paranoid about everything and everyone.
Note: This character is in charge of a good chunk of narration throughout the story, so keep that in mind when auditioning.
(Calm, refreshed) My name is Keichi Maebara. It’s been about a month since I moved to Hinamizawa. It’s the first time I found out air can actually smell good!
(Determined) Mion, if you can hear me, fight this demon. This isn’t you. (To the demon) You hear me too? I said give back my best friend! Give back Mion!
(Unstable, afraid) i’ve been thinking it’s strange for a while now… Its been following me this whole time...! I run, and run, and run! But it just sticks to me... like a shadow!
This is awesome! I love the youthful sound you gave this character, your range and emotions fit him well! The emotion you put into each line was great as well. There’s a tiny bit of audio distortion where you’re yelling in the second line, but that is an easy fix. Great work overall :)
