Sword Art Online Season 1 Fandub (Understudies, Extras, Behind the Scenes)
Pengu for Ryōtarō Tsuboi/Klein (Understudy)
(Understudy role! We have this role cast, but would like to assign understudies to help in case of emergencies! Being an understudy also allows you early access to future project auditions and future characters!)
One of the supporting characters of the show, Ryōtarō Tsubo, known as Klein ingame, is one of the first players that Kirito ends up meeting and teaching about the game. He is a lovable sidekick type of character who is skilled with a katana, having even founded a Guild alongside a group of his IRL friends! He has a love for pizza and pretty girls, alongside a great friendship with Kirito!
His original Voice Actor is Kirk Thornton. Feel free to try and base your voice around his or try something of your own creation, this is a fandub after all!

“Cool! Today’s my first day, so, could you give some tips on the lower floors?”
“Look! My name’s Klein, good to meetcha!”
“You know it! Besides, the game can wait ‘til I get my pizza on!”
Hello! Thanks for auditioning! This was a great audition! We think the overall delivery of the lines was great and captured the laid back attitude of the character! The last line was also delivered very nicely. The best improvement could be to relax a bit more into the character and let the words flow a bit more naturally, Klein is a bit of a "nonchalant" character, but overall this was a great take at the character with minimal vocal direction since it was just an audition! Great work!
Hey thanks for the comment! I really appreciate the advice too. I do indeed normally feel like I struggle a little with tempo, since I normally talk quite fast, and I do think that it shines through a little since going slower while really trying to output the emotions is still a challenge.Thanks a lot again, if you have more tips, I am all ears, and my dms are always open!
