Honkai Impact 3rd: Animated Fan Dubs
Anna Kate Hindman for Kiana Kaslana (K-423)
Kiana Kaslana is the protagonist of Honkai Impact 3rd along with Raiden Mei and Bronya Zaychik. She is the adoptive daughter of Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Schariac, alongside being a vessel for the 2nd Herrscher--- Herrscher of the Void.
Regardless of the situation, Kiana is consistently spunky and lighthearted. She is also honest to a fault, stating that instead of guessing on a test, she would rather admit to her lack of knowledge and leave answers blank. Due to her goofy and somewhat insolent personality, this gives the people around her some mixed verdict. Though her intelligence is often a source of humor, Kiana has shown considerable skill and talent regarding practical battle techniques. It is mentioned that the only reason she has not passed her A-rank Valkyrie exam is because she fails the written portion even while acing the battle portion.
Kiana's Herrscher of the Void form will require a flatter voice than her normal, upbeat one. Keep in mind, you will be playing both 'versions' of her!

[Kiana is excitedly hugging Mei, happy that they are together]
I mean that if Mei is around me, I can feel my power increase one hundred-fold!
[Kiana's close friend and mentor Fu Hua has sacrificed herself to contain the Herrscher of Sentience]
Enough. Why is it always like this? Trading sacrifices for so-called victories... Give Fu Hua... back to me!
[Kiana has been confronted again by her Herrscher form, who is now attempting to regain control of Kiana's body]
Kiana: I'm not who I was then, and I won't submit to you.
Herrscher of the Void: Haha, how very smooth. But if you're as steadfast as you claim, why would I be here taking control?
Thank you for auditioning! I loved your take on Kiana. Your intonation fit her really well! In order to not spam you, I'm going to squeeze some feedback for your all auditions into this comment ^^" Mei- I could really hear the feeling in your takes for Mei, very well done! The subtle sadness in the otherwise composed voice was nice. Bronya- I was able to notice a crescendo of emotion as the lines went on. I'm looking for a bit more of a robotic tone, but overall I enjoyed it :) Theresa- You captured her personality very well! The only change I would make is that the third line should have a bit more sleepiness. However, nice job! Kallen- I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but you have a very good way of including subtle emotion in your auditions. The lines have a nice balance of collectedness and emotion for the character. My only suggestion would be to space out the takes a bit more! The separate lines sometimes felt like they blended together.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate all of your feedback. I usually edit my lines to be close together because I know casting directors have so many auditions to take though and I want to be as efficient as possible. Again, thank you so much for your comments and feedback!
My pleasure! I apologize for being a bit late on it. I agree with shortening/making auditions as efficient as possible, but keeping a quick breath would make it a little bit more clear in my opinion!
No apology needed in the slightest! I agree that my auditions definitely need a breath between parts and I will incorporate that in the future!
