Hi Meta Maddie! Thank you for the audition! Here are a few thoughts that came to me while listening to your audition: 1. Your recording level is too low for the conversational parts. Generally speaking, you'd want to aim for a gain level that lands the peaks of your waveforms around -6dbs for these kinds of auditions. Then as you get to the loud parts, you'd want to adjust your gain again appropriately. Does this make sense? 2. Thank you for reading the material and understanding the context before recording. It's evidenced by the voice acting and that puts you in the competition. At the same time, the voice I'm hearing is slightly too young - I think it's a pretty good fit, but there are a couple of moments where I go 'that doesn't sound like her' - I'd generally bump up the "maturity" of the voice delivery overall and see where it leads. 3. Most of the audition lines are THOUGHTS. I'd like you to look through the comments I've left on other auditions and read about differentiating a speech delivery and thought delivery. -- I hope these are helpful to you. Thank you very much for auditioning!

    Thank you so much for the feedback! Should I try to squeeze in another take tonight or will you be short listing and holding a second round?

Unpaid
Cast offsite — this one got away.

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.


The sides they read from:

  • (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!!!!
