Role assigned to: the amazing bologna

A member of the Rookie 9 and Konoha 12. He is brilliant as he is lazy, with an IQ of over 200. Throughout the series, this character develops to shed his slacker way of thinking and becomes a skilled tactician. His portrayal should reflect this (with his defining moment of shedding his childhood laziness occurring in his teenage years).

Apathetic or slacker tone. He should not sound very slow, but at times, his voice can drag somewhat. A rasp is preferred. 

This character appears throughout the series as a supporting (and sometimes lead) character. 

Medium pitch as an adolescent.

Medium low as an older teen.

Lower than that, but not exactly low as an adult.

All three versions are required.

  • CHILD LINE: [Longingly] Oh man... those clouds are so lucky. So free. [dismissive] I didn't even feel like doing this in the first place. And I only became a ninja because I thought life would've been more interesting as one... [relenting] I suppose things aren't gonna be that simple.

    ADULT LINE: Regardless of our limitations, we can always be of some use. Our power may seem insignificant... but it may just prove to be useful in the grand scheme of things. Stay focused. Never avert your eyes, because if an opening arises, even our insignificant power may be enough to determine the fate of the world. Which is why everyone must stay alert and ready to strike at any moment!

    TEENAGE LINE is both of these.

  • [Dismissive/annoyed] It's not because I'm lazy, it's just because I don't care.

  • [Protesting]  We're not stupid enough to go out there planning to die. You of all people should know that I've thought of what to do ahead of time.

the amazing bologna

Just a heads up, this was the most difficult voice I could do in my repertoire as I'm not used to raspy. So if I am casted, I am going to have to ask to do this guy in separate days than the other guys as it is a bit of a strain.

    That's entirely fine, because there's one month's worth of time between due dates. My only concerns with this is that there's no differentiation between the child and adult versions of this voice. Adult should likely be in a deeper or more mature tone than the original.

      Well that's the issue I face. With this being my most challenging voice thus far, I am not used to using a head nazzel voice. So if I go higher for the child voice, it doesn't sound quite right, and if I go lower, then it sounds like me over anything else. My apologies.

        I understand, though I'd prefer if you gave it a try-- going lower that is. This however, if feel comfortable with it. Either way, I'll be taking everything into consideration.
