The Rising Fallen - An Anime Television Series
Haley_Hendrix for Niko
Character Age: 17
Character Voice Expectations: Niko is usually soft spoken but when something needs to be said she comes right out and says it with confidence. Being adopted into the Vandel Family, an upper class family who owns a widely known technology creation and advancements company called Vandel Tech, gave her a sense of responsibility over the future of the people of her city. However, she is still unsure as to what her path is as a part of this family who adopted her. I am looking for a kind higher pitched tone to her voice but low enough that she does not sound too much like a child. However, later on, she finds herself in a situation where she is experimented on which causes her to morph into a separate version of herself changing her voice entirely to a deeper more authoritative voice.
*Niko is at school in her classroom. Class hasn't started yet. These lines are during a conversation with one of her closest female friends.*
[Calm/Lost in thought] "Hm? Oh, hey Hanako." "No, I'm fine. Just...thinking."
[Surprised/Bashful] "Wha...what? No! That's not it at all!"
[Feeling of Emptiness] "Well, it's just that...I haven't seen him since we were in foster care together as kids. I'm not sure where he could be."
[Calm/Thinking] "You and I used to be soo close. And now we're so far away....Kaito."
*Kaito saves Niko from some delinquent College students who corner her in an alley. These lines are during a conversation between Kaito and Niko.*
[Surprised] "Kaito...Is that you? Is that really you?"
[Blushing] "Y...Yea, well, I'm not a kid anymore. Of course I've grown."
[Irritated] "Pervert! You haven't changed one bit! Ugh!"
*Niko has been captured and has been strapped down as part of an experiment. She can't seem to talk so this conversation is all voiced from her thoughts*
[Groggy] "Where am I? W...why can't I move? [Scared] Who are they! Why am I here! [Slowly passing out] "Kaito, help me...please."
[Groggy/Relieved] "Kaito? What happened? Kaito...thank you."
[Thinking] "What's happening to me? Why is this happening to me? It feels like I'm on fire! {Screaming as if in pain] Aaaaaah!!!!"
[Confident/Annoyed] "Hello, my name is Arushīra, you are in my way, please move." "Those men you are standing in front of. They do not deserve your protection. Experimenting on a defenseless girl. It's vial and I will not allow them to live." "Very well, you leave me no choice. I'll just end you as well."
Would you mind fixing the audio or doing another take. Your audio is much too low and I can barely hear it. :) Thanks.
I took this original audition and tried amplifying the recording, hopefully once I upload the 2nd attempt it'll be easier to hear.
