Otomen Manga Dub
cordiwordi for Yamato Ariake
An underclassman at Asuka's school, Yamato has a very ‘girly’ appearance, which he hates. He loves martial arts and trains hard to become good at them. He admires manliness and has long delusional fantasies about being ‘manly’. He believes Asuka to be the ideal man and is oblivious to the fact that Asuka is an otomen. He falls in love with many different girls but is unable to get a girlfriend.
This one I’m giving two different approaches to. Ideally, I would like someone non-binary to play this role, or someone that can provide an androgynous voice; however this isn’t mandatory and please audition if you’d like to play him! I’m going to leave two voice inspirations, one male and one female, so you can have fun and find a balance in the middle!
Really childlike, but not baby. Think a teen going through puberty. Slight hoarseness from straining his voice.
Medium - medium high - high range. Yamato is the most flexible voice to audition for.
Standard North American accent.
Voice inspirations:
1. Izuku Midoriya English voice
2. Colleen Clinkenbeard, Teen Gohan voice
I’m open to your interpretations too!
[Admiring Asuka from afar]
“Ohhh, he’s so amazing. My sensei is just like no one before. I wish I was as manly as that. Why why why was I born to look like this?!”
[Getting fraught over Asuka’s presence]
“Ah, Asuka! I didn’t see you there! Ah ha ha … how’s uhm, how’s things with Ryo? You taken her on a date yet?”
[Hyping himself up]
“You know what? I AM going to show them what I’m made off. I might get mistaken for a girl on a daily basis. I may still sound like a kid going through puberty on some days. I may even get asked out on dates by guys here and there, but every single one of you will see one day when I have the greatest glow up of them all! Then who’s gonna be laughing?!”
I loved the emotes, and your pacing of words was perfect! Although, I was unsure of the voice range for Yamato, and this may be just a little too high for the range I’m looking for now.
Thank you! That's understandable, I'll work on my voice range some more, thanks again!
No problem! I’m glad you auditioned regardless because I can now change the description. Your other audition ranges were fine how they are though. ^^
