A Bird Flies Into A Power Line - Novella Promotion Casting
voiceofbrandy for Ayumi, 21
Ayumi’s life has always felt plagued by her mother, who would belittle her since she was a child for her strong emotions. Growing up mixed race, she also never quite felt like she fit in with the other kids, even though culturally she was quite similar to them as her mother had kept little Japanese tradition alive in their house and rarely spoke to her in Japanese. Because of this, she never had many long term friends, which led her to become a very independent person and deep down, believe that she may just be a liability.
Confident and independent, but as a coping mechanism for the fear of rejection by others. When she feels comfortable or can no longer contain it, can be very emotional.
While I haven’t decided the exact lines yet, it is possible that there may be a few that are in Japanese, and as such I have also included an audition line in Japanese. However, please note that native/near native fluency is absolutely NOT required (as she herself only speaks a bit of the language), so as long as you have some experience speaking Japanese that’s perfectly fine!
Actor of Japanese or mixed Japanese descent preferred.

(mid-argument) “I just can’t take it anymore—I don’t understand, do you not see how I don’t feel respected?”
(interrupting, but timidly) “私の日本語は本当に悪いけど、言いたいことがある。”
(being interviewed) “He made me feel like I could be myself around him, and…I don’t find that in people very often.”
