P4GR: Central Cast
Alex Bui for Yu Narukami
Yu Narukami is a quiet, well-mannered young man who acts as the centerpiece of the Investigation Team. Despite his usual deadpan expression and mature demeanor, he is the most vocal about his beliefs in often "childish" concepts such as Friendship and Bonds. For this reason, he is able to make friends with others rather easily.
I'm not going to be unrealistic and ask for a perfect Johnny Yong Bosch impression. All I ask is that the voice at least sounds relatively fitting for Yu's character. If you would like to attempt a Johnny Yong Bosch impression, here's a link for reference.

You do NOT have to audition for Adachi as well. If you decide to, though, I ask that your voices for Yu and Adachi be similar to one another, but distinct enough to tell apart.
"You liked her, right? Saki, I mean. Then isn't that proof enough?"
"Calm the hell down, Yosuke!"
"People can do it. As long as they open their eyes and look around, they'll see it. They'll see the truth! If there is a fog, they just have to embrace the truth to get rid of it! This is what's right, and this is the path I choose to follow!"
I can really tell that you have a drive in your audition. While I'm also pleased to see that you love P4 as much as I do, I won't get too off track. With Yu, he's shown to be a lot more reserved. So his emotions are actively distant from what he's saying mostly, but not to a point of being monotone. That way, when he speaks emotionally, it's as much of an event as it is for the Investigation Team. I also want to capture that feeling with him. So, I would definitely say try sounding more deadpan in the regular spoken lines so that you can put all of your dramatic emphasis on the lines where he's raising his voice.
Thank you for the thorough feedback! I was definitely not expecting it. I’ll submit new auditions with the suggestions :)
