Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE English Fandub
kparakiseki for Ayaha Oribe
Ayaha is Tsubasa's older sister. She disappeared a long time ago during a performance in Tsubasa's childhood, which scarred Tsubasa. Now, she has mysteriously reappeared, seemingly under some sort of spell.
Voice type: Ayaha's voice is more up to interpretation than others. She is older than Tsubasa, and more mature, so a medium-low pitch would be fine for her.
(Under control, seeing Tsubasa again after the longest time) Who are you...? I don't know anyone like you... ... No, that isn't right. Those eyes--I know those eyes... That unwavering gaze... almost like... Tsubasa!
(Being manipulated by a Mirage) The reason I practiced so late into the night was... I was just so anxious, I couldn't sleep... Better-looking girls dropping out... Better sings cut one after another... It didn't take long for me to realise, I was a joke. There was no way I could become an idol. But I couldn't let everyone down... It was just too much! I couldn't take it all! Please, just stop telling me I'm someone I'm not... I never had any talent to begin with!
(After having a request completed) Good work, Itsuki. I heard the event at Daitama was well-received. There might be similar cases involving Mirages that aren't apparent on the surface. I'll let you know if I hear anything suspicious. And when that time comes, I'll be counting on you, Itsuki.
Out of all your takes on this fandub, I think Ayaha fits your natural range the best. That said, I think, should you be chosen, some of your emotion in your voice could use some work. I'll need a second opinion on this, but I think Ayaha's second example dialogue needs more...anguish, I guess (ever played Persona 4? It is around the emotional equivalent to being confronted by a shadow self). Final nitpick, but your final dialogue is oddly fast, almost as if you were rushing to say it. If you'd put a little more pride in the take, I think that'd go miles as well.
Thank so much for the feedback! It's very well thought out and means a lot to me! I agree with you. After uploading the audition and listening to it, I realized I could've done things much better. I didn't play the game, so the emotion of the character was deciphered only through context and the punctuation used. Here, I thought it to be a crescendo, but it's evident I could've started off stronger aaaa-- I'll keep your tips in mind if I decide to reaudition. Thank you so much for this~ ^ u ^
