Otomen Manga Dub
ToniVA for Kiyomi Masamune
Asuka's mother. Traumatised by her husband's announcement that he always dreamed of being a woman, she takes many measures to ensure Asuka is very ‘manly’. Asuka worries she’ll faint if he reveals his otomen secret to her.
Looking for a Jekyll and Hyde voice. Super sweet when being lovey to Asuka, but then super fiery if she notices anything suspicious within Asuka’s possessions or doubt for his love of ‘girly’ things.
Medium low range.
Standard North American accent.
Voice inspirations vary because I’m unsure if I want goofy or serious:
1. Chi-chi, Cynthia Cranz Dragon Ball Z English dub
2. Android 18 English dub voice
3. Kurumu Kurono, Rosario + Vampire English dub
I’m open to your interpretation!
[Taking Asuka to his kendo training]
“So when’s the next competition? I bet all the ladies are going to be lining up to watch that. Who wouldn’t love my strong, manly hero of a son. Right, Asuka?”
[Silence from Asuka, not being ignorant but too fixated on his manga to hear her]
“Right … Asuka … RIGHT? My manly son, right ?!”
[Kiyomi is baking cakes and whipping the cake mixture up and Asuka asks to help]
“Of course you can help, sweetie. You do the scary stuff like taking the cakes out of the oven, you know, the big and tough stuff in case you burn yourself. I’ll do all the dainty little decorating. You couldn’t possibly want to do that boring girly stuff”.
[Exaggerated dramatic crying after finding a sewing machine under Asuka’s bed]
“My little boy, he likes girly things! I already had one man in my life leave me for things like this, please don’t take my precious little Asuka as well!”
Over the top is great! I don’t think over the top is a thing in manga/anime dubs. XD
