Hello! Thank you very much for your audition! What stood out the most to me was your expression. With exception of the third line, you sounded as though you were in relaxed, almost dismissive contemplation. Though a perfect recreation of what Takase sounds like in my head isn’t necessary to land the role, I’d like to see what you’re capable of in terms of emotion. What I recommend is putting yourself in his context. For the first line, a young high schooler is about to be confessed to by his love! What’s he feeling? Disbelief? Happiness? Shock? Whatever it may be, throw it all into your voice. And if you can’t decide on how to go about the line, do multiple takes!
