A Certain Cafe: A My Hero Academia Fan Audio
EldritchBob for Tenya Iida
Anyone wishing to audition for Iida should strive to have the following qualities to their voice:
- Strong articulation
- Mid-to-low range
- A formal character tone.
You must also be willing to seriously use the pet-name 'Princess' as this is how Iida addresses the café patrons.
Though I'm not looking for impersonation, per se, the following video should give you an indication of what I'm looking for: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbZo2vHInAw
Synopsis of the role:
After going through the entrance desk, the listener climbs the stairs to the café where Iida is there to formally welcome her. He then takes her to her seat, tells her that her personal butler, Mashirao Ojiro will be along shortly, then returns to his post at the door.
He is professional and fully committed to his role of a butler, striving to give a 100% smooth, relaxing and welcoming performance. To that end, you should also be equally committed. It might make you feel silly, but if it's done right then the listener's will never know and we'll both have a performance to be proud of.
"Your butler for today shall be with you momentarily. My name is Tenya Iida and do not hesitate to ask should you need anything more from me."
"Welcome home, Princess."
Ah, I really love your voice in this. I wonder if there's anywhere else you can record? It sounds like there's a lot of echo so I'm thinking you're not using a treated room? If you don't have anywhere set up, you could always tent a fairly thick blanket and record inside there, perhaps? Or if you have a closet to sit/stand in?
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to listen. I am using an untreated room. I'm now currently hunting for a thick blanket that would ge suitable to use, thank you for the advice! If I get one before the audition is up, I would love to try re-recording my audition.
