Pronounced "Joh-Tah-Roh Koo-Joh"

A rich deep commanding, yet soft voice is what I'm looking for in regards to this characters voice. Think Troy Baker or Doug Erholtz at their lower range as a comparison.

*Copied from the JoJo Wiki*

Jotaro is introduced as a rough delinquent, but he has a gentle heart, and is loyal to those he likes. He is highly perceptive, intelligent and quick-witted while keeping a perpetually cool, slightly neutral or disinterested attitude.

Jotaro's most noticeable trait is his seemingly aloof nature. He is a quiet individual, often satisfied with expressing himself in short phrases. Araki has explained that he thinks anyone can tell his emotions just by looking at him, and probably thinks further effort in portraying how he feels to be a waste of time, making others tend to perceive Jotaro as callous.

Jotaro is an extremely cool individual, able to keep his composure in even the direst situations. The best example of his coolness would be against Daniel J. D'Arby, playing a dangerous game of poker during which he successfully bluffs the expert poker player into folding even if he didn't know what cards he had and wagered the souls of every companion and ally involved. Still, he is still mildly anxious when something unanticipated happens, but almost never goes as far as to lose his cool.

Moreover, Jotaro is blunt and foul-mouthed, having no problem being insolent toward his mother or any authority figure. The teenager favors witty one-liners, often ridiculing whoever is the target of his quips and offering absurd reasons for his feats, notably defeating DIO because he pissed him off. Whether Jotaro does take himself seriously or is just having fun when using his one-liners is left unanswered.

Jotaro is interested in a large range of subjects, such as sumo or the TV series Columbo, from which he claims to have acquired his deductive skills. Several hobbies indicate that he has an intellectual side, which would result in him becoming a marine biologist.

Jotaro is annoyed by the numerous adoring girls chasing him (both at his school and throughout his journey), whom he ignores or rudely drives away; particularly when they begin to fuss or bicker. However, he is hinted to have a soft spot (or is at least more tolerant) of children. When Anne accompanies them on his journey, he never yells at her and even protects her from enemy Stand Users, and also watches over her in a similar fashion to an older brother. When he takes an ice pop from a young boy, he tells the boy that he will buy him a new one.

Another interesting personality quirk of his seems to be an attachment to his clothing. when the female nurse at his school suggested cutting off parts of his pants, he refused. When his clothes were ripped from his fight with ZZ, he went so far as to pay for a uniform exactly like the one he had. When he first trades blows with DIO, he specifically points out how the fight tore a hole in his pants. He also has an attachment to his hat. This implies he is either stingy or has a particular sense of fashion; the fact that he pointed out the price of his pants after DIO tore a hole in it seems to imply the former.

Things I like: Your voice is pretty good. A solid tenor voice. Unfortunately, Jotaro has a bass voice. Things I didn't like: It sounded a little emotionless at times and there's something that I'm finding hard to explain about your Ora's. They sounded stuck together... Jotaro Kujo's been cast to another dude. His audition was good and you should give it a listen!

    Thanks so much for the feedback! To be honest, I was not expecting on getting the part at all, but rather what your critique would be. I'm somewhat aware of my range but I'm trying to branch out, get into unfamiliar territory and develop more of my personal range. I get what you mean by emotionless; I was focusing too much on trying to sound deep. At least I know for sure now that a role like this might not be for me in future projects. And yeah the guy who got cast definitely sounds perfect, especially for the battlecry! I can see that he made sure to enunciate every ora and emphasize them with a natural speed and build and buildup. I see now that I was too focused on trying to be fast right from the get go which is why they sound stuck together. Again, thanks for the feedback and I hope that your fandub project pulls through! Who know when we'll get the rest of the Stardust Crusaders dub, let alone Diamond is Unbreakable? lol
