Sword Art Online Abridged Episode 2: Kibaou Needed
ryovash for Kibaou
Character Description/Motivation: In short, he’s played in the manner of a whiny man-child who is initially very forthright as if he views himself as the premier example of an alpha-male. Then the episode progresses and the more he spends time with Diavel, the more submissive and tsundere he gets. This ties into a joke about how Kibaou loses his Seme, which means Top- or more dominant partner in Diavel when he dies to the boss later in the episode.
Voice Description: I was envisioning a naturally Medium to Medium-High Tone that acted really accusatory and tough in his first appearance, but opened his colors the more the interacted with the cast. But Experiment. I love being pleasantly surprised with others takes on characters.
[After a line in which Agil just calls Kibaou a “Dense Motherfucka”.]
“[Hurt, but still angry] Hey! [Slight Pause] That’s MISTER Dense Mothafucka to you! [More Calm tone] ...I also answer to Kibaou. [And BACK TO YELLING] And I HATE BETA TESTERS!”
[After Diavel announces there will be MALE BONDING TIME.]
“[Excited initially, but then TSUNDERE] WOOOOO- I mean, HELL NO!”
[Diavel is dead and Kirito says he still treats SAO very much like any other game.]
“[Hesitant at first; Ends Aggressively] You.. You’re a fucking monster! It’s like you don’t care for anyone else’s lives!”
Now, besides the bit of reverb in the background(Which I can handle in post), this is a top-tier audition. You put the correct emphasis on the lines and made it sound so unique. Great job!
Thank ya very much! I actually have sound foam and a small DIY booth on the way ;-; hopefully that will end all that.
