Your Turn to Dub Recasting [Your Turn to Die/Kimi Ga Shine Fandubs]
counterzero for Joe Tazuna
Pronunciation: Joe Tah-zoo-nuh
---
[From the wiki]
Joe is an extremely upbeat, excitable, considerate, and loyal person. He is easily embarrassed when others misinterpret him and is sensitive to how people perceive his appearance. Like Sara, Joe puts in all his efforts to help the group succeed in the puzzles. He consistently convinces the group to believe in Sara and her abilities and generally places most of his trust to her. Though he is described as gaudy by Reko Yabusame and has a small habit of saying the wrong things at the wrong time, Joe is genuinely kind-hearted and sensitive to others' feelings.
Although not academically one of the smartest in the group, he does provide occasional insights.
Despite his constant optimism and belief in others, Joe is not incapable of suspicion, as he was the first to suggest the presence of a traitor among the participants. Furthermore, while reluctant and torn over what winning the Main Game would mean, he was willing to go through with it, up until Sara exposed his true role.

I'd like a friendly, upbeat, medium-pitched, maybe medium-high voice for Joe. I have no references available, so please, go wild with your audition! If you're going to use any filters for the Hallucination Joe lines, please add an unedited take in as well.
Please be aware that Joe is a very excitable and expressive character. That should reflect in your auditions.
I don't need you to do all of the lines, but please do at least one of the lines per box.
"You stuck around this late for clubs?! I was gonna wither up from waiting!"
(Sara asks if he and Ryoko kissed) "Ki…?! Don’t be stupid! Doing that on the first date… They call people like that monsters! We held hands! Outrageous progress, right?!""Well, Sara? Can you think of any rebuttals? Don’t look so nervous! Put on your usual bigshot attitude!"
"She’ll be fine! Sara’s got a mind of steel! Just call her Steelmind!"
"Professor Mishima... Heheh! Got it, teach! I'll treasure my friends, and give some effort to studying too! Dunno where I'm going just yet... But I want us to graduate together!""I dunno... I just dunno... I mean... I just can't see you as bad guys... Even Sou and Alice... must be good people, really..."
"...Ahh, that's right... Guess I should say, uh... Well, it's hard for a guy and a girl to say this sorta stuff to each other, but... ...I love ya, Sara. You're my best friend!"(Hallucination Joe) "I died ‘cause you questioned me, you know. Don’t you feel any responsibility? And I suffered a long time ‘cause of you too, right? You got anything to say to that? [...] Hahaha! No reason to clam up. You damn murderer!"
Nice job with the voice! Some of the lines sound a little... I'm not sure, edgier than what I'm looking for? Hallucination Joe is fantastic, but the rest of the lines make Joe sound darker than he acts. I could hear your mic popping a little in the beginning, but it's not too bad. Again, nice job!
