InnocentWeeb for Miko
NOTE: Feel free to add more lines to your audition using dialogue from the webtoon (Miko appears past Chapter 6). Link in the main description and my creator bio.
Miko (mee-ko, "ko" as in "yo" or "no") is Kokona’s best friend who disappeared two years ago in the webtoon and was thought to be dead, only to be reunited with Koko in the world of Ser. She's intelligent and organised, but also easily irritable and it's difficult for her to open up to people emotionally. She is bisexual and is currently in a “very close” relationship with Shayna.
Personality:
Miko is sort of the Sokka (from Avatar The Last Airbender) of the group. She’s level-headed, knowledgeable and often the one who decides the plans and strategies of the team. However, she can let her confidence go to her head, and often seems like she has a stick up her butt - complaining that her teammates aren’t taking things seriously enough.
Background:
A girl from a Korean family in Horizon City, though she’s not in touch with her culture and prefers modern Western life. Her real name is Ji-won, but Kokona nicknames her Miko. When she disappeared and fell into Ser, she wasted no time in researching as much as she could about this new world and trying to find a way out.
Voice Notes:
Miko has an attractive, relatively deep voice, making her sound mature for her age. She speaks bluntly and matter-of-factly, though is prone to overreacting and bursts of anger or embarrassment (read: a tsundere).
I imagined her voice as an English equivalent to performances common for roles played by Megumi Toyoguchi (namely 00:24 - 00:48 and 2:23 - 3:00). To note for an English performance: A generally deep voice; serious but not monotone, with a mature and experienced demeanour. Though in Miko's case, she's not as experienced as she tries to portray herself as, which leads to her slipping up and breaking that calm exterior.
Some English examples from League Of Legends. Not pointing to any specific performance or personality, but do note the general deep tone of voice and relaxed, calm delivery. [1] - [2] - [3]
[exasperated]
"Ugh... could you all stop being a bunch of idiots for just two minutes? Damn it, if I have to clean another friggin' mess because of you, Koko..."
[sighs]
"LOOK. It's not that hard for crying out-- just sit your ass down and don't say anything, okay?"
[planning, strategising. Deliberate with her words]
"I heard this species of hydra lives in dark caves and ruins. Very slippery, very agile. Basically, if we don't keep moving, we're pretty much screwed."
[summarises her plan]
"So keep away from the shadows, stick close, and most importantly, don't look it in the eyes. Got it?"
[Does a cute short shriek after Shayna touches her. Gets embarrassed and flustered.]
"EEK!"
"Whaddya think you're doing, you dumbass?! Keep your hands to yourself! I am trying to work here!"
[Shayna doesn't listen. Miko is a mix between being pissed off and turned on.]
"Oh god, just get out of my face... you're so damn annoying."
Thanks! Glad to hear you love the character! :D For this particular one, I think it lacks energy or forwardness, more apparent in the first and second lines. I like the general tone but the delivery is abit too monotone and slow.
