Operation: PGR Fandub Project
Azia for Karenina
A unit of the Purifying Forces of Babylonia. Along with Bianca, she is in charge of handling deserters and Corrupted units from Babylonia. She’s prickly, defensive, and a hothead, but her heart is always in the right place. She can also be pretty competitive and proud.
Young/teen female voice with mid to high pitch. Think of the generic tsundere voice. Don’t be shy about being flaunting yourself or bashing others down. Be warned that this may also require a bit of yelling on your part.

(accusatory) Those are only your words! He’s already corrupted by the virus, it’s an insurmountable fact!
(warning) This is asking for trouble. We might be disciplined for this!
(proud) I’m a master of weapons. So don’t waste so much time on it.
Thank you so much for your 5 auditions ! I was impressed by your range between the different characters and really appreciate your performances.
You really captured Liv's timid personality with the first line, hesitating and pausing and showing your shock in these lines. On top of that you did a good job in performing the doting line and exhibiting the more serious and urgent lines. The third line I appreciate your two takes where one is more serious (the second take) whereas the first take is more on the verge of panicking. So nicely done there!
For similar reasons, your Nanami voice is also nicely done with the directions, and I love the contrast between your playfulness and how you did the angry line for Nanami.
Your voice for Karenina is really good, but this is a performance I felt was a little odd in its direction. While yes you do perform the direction well and show of/display that angrier side of Karenina, the way you said some of these lines feel weirdly paced -- namely the second line reads. I noticed this with the second take of your first line and the first take of the second line, where you tend to read the line in a very singsongy way, where it uses the same rhythm, cascading from a high pitch and then drifting into lower. I don't feel like this was as much trouble with other auditions, but it's good to be mindful that you're not falling into these habits which causes the line to be read weird. I'd also recommend pulling back on the anger for the third line. This line in particular I want her to sound more proud and confident and wanting to show off, so reel back on the anger and be confident with this one!
I also found your Luna to be a little too emotive than cold as what I was looking for for Luna. Your voice quality is there, but I'm less looking for a malicious villain and more or less looking for a cold leader whose ice breaks around her sister. But you did a good too in displaying the worry in Luna's voice for that final line, but I still hope for less emotions coming through -- more subtle performance.
If you're interested at all, you're welcome to resubmit with the feedback provided, but otherwise thank you so much for your time and effort and I hope we can work together soon!
Thank you for the detailed feedback!! I appreciate the critique on my Karenina and Luna auditions. You're right that with Karenina, the second line threw me for a loop and I said it a bit awkwardly. The phrasing wasn't natural to me and because of that and lack of context, I didn't understand what emotion to go for. Your comment helps and I will work on it! If I have time this week I'll definitely try and resubmit!^^
No worries! I definitely recommend trying to think of the scene first before jumping into the line. If it does help though in your performance, I can at least tell you that the scene itself is about Karenina trying to argue that what someone else is doing is wrong and worrying about if she goes along with it, she'll also get in trouble. Maybe think about that overly worried friend you'll see in horror movies that try to argue their way out of doing something dangerous like trespassing or whathave yous. Something like that sentiment but more scolding. Hopefully this helps with your performance :]
