dead project
Squeedo for Kotone Asaka (KOW-Tow-Neh (A)I-saka)
Kotone Asaka is another lead role, playing a major part in the story even if she doesn't exactly play detective. She sometimes will learn about a case by snooping around and will consult a friend of hers, helping out in some small ways. Her main interests can't really be targeted since she belongs to almost every single club at her school, floating around from clubs like the different sport teams to things like the cooking club or sewing club. The sixth grader is into girly things, always expressing her feminine side and talking in a cutesy way. She enjoys sweets and cute collectibles, along with dragging her best friend around. At first, Kotone seems to be a cute, kind, caring girl who's always on her best behavior but, the more you get to know her, you get to learn that it's not all what it seems with her. She has a reasoning for her ways, though. Her family owns the town's major Inn, but you won't be able to find her hanging out around there until nighttime. She seems to go out of her way to avoid going home until late, probably to avoid chores and work but she doesn't realize how it's causing her father so much additional stress. She seems to value her apperance, relationships, and popularity over everything else, not caring who she has to harm to be able to achieve being the most popular girl in her grade. To sum it up, Kotone just needs some help with being pushed in the right direction.
- Before You Audition/Info-
- ~Before you audition, please know that this will be a long-term project that might even take months or years. This is one of the most important characters of the game who will be present for all of the game and will serve as one of the protagonist supports. If you're not going to be dedicated to do this project, then please do not audition since it would cause a lot of trouble for me to have to find a replacement last minute. Also, please do try to at least have a semi-clear mic.
- ~There might be one or two minor themes that might make people uncomfortable, but it will be mentioning other characters and their issues. This role may include a bit of cussing/swearing, but nothing major. Please be aware of this before auditioning, incase if you get casted. I don't want anyone being uncomfortable once they get casted as a role.
- ~If there's any questions that you have about the character, auditioning, casting, or anything else. I'll be glad to answer any questions that you have to the best of my ability!
- Voice Examples/References-
- This section is mainly for VAs who want to audition but aren't sure of what the character sounds like, might an example, or would like to know the character's voice range. It's pretty simple and self-explanatory since it's here to help. You don't have to follow this 100%, but taking it into consideration would be nice.
- Kotone's voice can be described as clear and high-medium to high-pitched that sounds a bit more sexy. Her voice can drop to a serious, sexier deep voice when she feels like it fits the situation. She goes from a preteen to an adult in this series so please be able to change your voice to sound like the different ages. (Ex: as a child, her voice would be higher and as an adult, her voice would be a bit more of the sexy, high-medium type.) She stretches her words out sometimes to sound cute, especially when she's trying give someone a hint that they're getting on her nerves. Her voice can be calming at times and should be able to make people swoon. It has more of the young mistress tone to it. There's a nice, sweet tone to it that can put people at ease. I would prefer if her VA was a female because of obvious reasons and because it would be easier on the VA. I hate to say this, but please do not plan on auditioning for her if you are not a female/own a feminine voice.
- -Luna Haruna in Kirameki Lifeline (This seems a bit strange, but her voice in that song is a good example. If you would like a character that sounds a bit like her, then people have compared her voice to Mari Ohara from Love Live! Sunshine!!)
- -Mari Shirako (URAHARA, JP but a tiny bit higher. A character to compare to this is Sofia from Rune Factory 3!)
"Oh, um, sir! It's very nice to meet you... Sorry about our last couple of run-ins and all. I must have been having an off-day... Anyways, sorry that I didn't introduce myself. I'm Kotone Asaka! I'm an adorable, cute, attractive girl from the 6th grade Star Class~! And this is my best friend but I'll let him introduce himself later on. I'll be glad to show you around the school if you need any help since I've seen almost every corner of this place!" (happy and opening, a bit forced and quickly dismisses her "friend.")
"Hey, Miiichiii! I'm pretty hungry today and there's nothing good at the convenience store that's on sell. So, today you'll be treating me, okay~? Yay!! We'll have a sweets party with cake, milk, macaroons, and everything that's sweet that we can find! Aren't you excited, Michi? We haven't done this in a while! Hey... Why do you look so depressed? Your wallet might be empty but soon your stomach sure won't be!" (Cheeky and happy, acting innocently. You can tell how she's being a bit aggressive. She's forcing a smile during all of this.)
"You're the worst! Everyone cares about you and treats you sooo well but yet you're always smarter than us! You always realize everything before we do and you always bottle up your feelings!... But then you never tell anyone about how you feel! It makes me so angry... Just because you're the oldest and the leader doesn't mean that you can just turn on us! I hate you sometimes! And here I am, spending my whole break, sitting here so that I can take care of you... So that I can be the first thing that you see when you wake up... God, I really do hate you!" (She's crying- for once- in this line with heavy amounts of angry and desperation in her voice. It's sincere and not forced at all. This line should have a ton of emotion put into it!)
I apologize for the noise in the background, I'm planning on getting a new mic once I can afford one
