KIMCHI STUDIO - My Senpai is Annoying [Manga Dub]
remarano for Igarashi Futaba
Igarashi Futaba is the female lead in the story.
This actor must be able to show various authentic emotions through the voice. Igarashi has a wide range of expressions and she will definitely test the acting ability of the voice actor.
Here is the Japanese Manga Dub for voice reference:

I highly recommend reading the two scenes linked above, as it will provide the context for the scene.
Actor cast will be asked to deliver the lines for the first four chapters.
(explaining - a tinge of frustration and annoyance, then slowly transitioning to a tinge of endearment. Not too much and not too little of both. Also, looking for proper pronunciation of "senpai")
My senpai is annoying. He's big. He laughs loudly. He just starts petting me. He steps in when I'm being harassed at office parties, he drives me home when I'm drunk, when I mess up he comes with me to apologize.(Again, looking for proper pronunciation of "Takeda-senpai". All inner monologue - a sense of small hope at first, then slightly defeated.)
(thinking) Will Takeda-senpai wear the necktie I gave him...? (surprise reax - he's NOT wearing the tie she gave him. Self-talk:) Come on, I knew this was going to happen. I don't know what he likes, after all.(He asked if he could use the necktie as a decoration for his desk instead.)
(slowly building anger/frustration reax, then explode:) (level 10 explosion:) YOU CAN'T!! (level 7:) What do you think I bought that for?!
(stunned, disbelief reax) (level 9) JUST WEAR IT!!!!
Haha hi and thank you for the second audition! Indeed, MUCH closer to what I'm looking for! I can really feel the shift in your emotion during those first six lines, that was great! You don't have to re-audition, but I'd also advise you to not break up the sentences like "he... drives me home" - putting the emotion in the pause is a good tool to have, but you also need to provide options for the editor. I would include that read as well as one where you don't pause in between. Especially because you did this multiple times in multiple sentences. :)
Good to know, I will definitely keep that in mind. Thanks again so much for the feedback!
