The Fataly Furious Adventure 3 (Completed)
SammieBee for Mai Shiranui
Mai Shiranui is one of the secondary protagonists of Fatal Fury. She's one of the main female characters as well as Andy's love interest. She trained under her Grandfather Hanzo in the art of ninjitsu. Although uninterested at first, that changed when Hanzo's rival Jubei challenged him to a fight. She fought him in his stead and achieved victory, rejuvenating her interest in fighting. She later met Andy after he travelled to Japan to train under her father, and while she found him boring at first, that changed when he got her a special gift for her birthday, driving her to proclaim him as her boyfriend.
Though training to be a ninja, Mai's personality reflects that of a flirtatious, young girl when not fighting, often showing her voluptuous body by wearing skimpy outfits (though sometimes she wears kimonos). When Mai fights, she can become quite condescending and taunt her opponent. Mai can also be quite jealous, especially when anybody talks about Andy, her self-proclaimed "boyfriend", who she's immediately head over heels for and can sometimes act like a helpless girl around. She's largely the same in our dub, although a bit more crass and vulgar at times.
For the voice, something spunky, young, playful and flirtatious would work perfectly.

Here comes Mai Shiranui, Japan's number one gal!
Excuse me?! I’m just happy! What’s so wrong about that, Mr. “Over Thirty And Single”?
Oh Andy sweetheart, how I wish you'd hold me tight for once...
Don’t worry, I’ll teach him a lesson!
Ryuuenbu! Kachousen! (and various battle grunts)
Loving the energy in these takes and the comedic timing in the "Over Thirty and Single" line in particular made me laugh. The delivery of "I'll teach him a lesson" should be a bit zanier overall, but we can definitely work on that if you get the part. Overall a very strong first audition for Mai and it left a good impression on me, thank you for trying out!
No Problem! I'm happy to hear that! ^^. I'm also happy to have auditioned!
Excellent performance overall! I love the energy and playfulness!
Congrats!
