KIMCHI STUDIO - My Senpai is Annoying [Manga Dub]
irisdragon 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!!!!
Hi Irisdragon! Thank you for auditioning! You have a great range of expressions and I love it! :) Here are a few thoughts I had while listening to your audition: 1. You're recording at a low level for the conversational stuff. I'd recommend setting a proper level for the conversational stuff, and setting the level again for the yell-y stuff later. 2. I'd like you to read through the comments I've left on other people's auditions and find the ones that talk about the first six sentences being separate contexts, as it applies to you. 3. I noticed you didn't record any reax. Is there a reason for this? 4. The explosive yell-y stuff at the end needs to have more energy behind it. Taking a look at the manga, the level-10 energy level, and the context in which she says this line, is abundantly clear that it should be a high-energy, big big expression. :) I hope these comments are helpful to you. Good luck!
