Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Dub-Emergency Casting
Naze for Koops
Koops is somewhat timid Koopa that, due to the events of this adventure, has finally started growing out of his shell, becoming quite a man. He's still a bit reserved, though. He has a bit of a "soft-spoken" tone of voice and is medium-pitched. For more of a vocal context, here is a link to an episode where he appeared:

[Sarcastic] Oh, goody, this guy again.
[Serious] He really seems to know a whole lot of stuff… Those missing fighters… The Crystal Star… You know, if we find this guy, we’ll have all the answers! But who could it be?
[About to Faint] Koopie...Koo...
Ummm... Mario... Thanks to you, I've found courage and inner strength. I don't know how to say this, but...I think I like myself more since I've known you... And I feel like I've grown closer to my dad. It's all so hard to put into words... Ummmmm...
This audition shows a lot of promise! My only wrinkle is the "Koopie...Koo..." bits of your audition. Other than that, I really liked this rendition of Koops!
Alright. Thanks! Yeah I wasn't exactly sure how it should go or how to approach it. I can Improve on it if you'd like.
I've noticed that a number of people struggle with applying a "fainting" effect to their lines, so it's understandable. The best way I could describe what I'm looking for is like trying to stay awake, only it's more dire (honestly, it's difficult for me to properly explain it without looking at anime/anime-inspired games).
i see. Well was it ever said in the dub your doing? if so i can look at it and put my own spin on it
The "Koopie...Koo..." bit? No, that actually is gonna be said in the finale, but there are two close equivalents that I can forward you to. The first one is in Episode 45 of the Thousand-Year Dub (Goombella gets knocked out and then subsequently revived), but it's kinda hard to hear due to everyone else running their gabs, my own screaming included.

I see well if i get the role then i can work on that for you
