Celestial Dance: Shift the Tide [Otome]
kuzons for Kinou
Nickname due to weird circumstance. I can explain over email, but its not concerning.
Line amount: He is a very dialogue heavy character, and very important. Please ask me for more information regarding circumstance and role in the game.
Voice: Male, recognizable, attractive, North American, Teenager
Warnings: Strange voice acting situation (Similar to that of “Wanderlust” in last round). He must also have a very distinct, “attractive” voice and remain with best mic quality. The situation is again a very rare one, in which we’re dealing with a difficult situation, and it won’t happen to anyone casted in this round (Granted behaviour and actually recording lines.)
He has had two previous VAs.
Personality:
Kinou is very strong, witty and charming. He acts as a big brother character, but also as a little bit of a joker. He finds it difficult to listen to people, as he’s very strongly opinionated. He is loyal to his friends, who mean the world to him. While he can get on people’s nerves, he can also be serious, sweet and emotional. He is warm and friendly to anyone, but he is fairly shy romantically. He often will try to say something really attractively, but end up messing it up cutely. He is considered happy-go-lucky but also can be a bit overbearing and hot headed.
Examples:
Tyson Granger
(I would like to hear a voice like this, similar in personality. There are several characters who I inspired Tyson after, so don’t be afraid if you play a character who is :) )
Tsubaki Asahina
(This character was also used as an inspiration for Tyrone, but Ty isn’t “Kinou” So no need to worry. Tsubaki is mainly comparable to his happy/excited side, but otherwise is just a rather watered down example.)
Otani- Lovely complex
(Very similar in personality. Otani is a well rounded example for his happy, serious, angry and romantic side.)
[Excited/goofy] “ALRIGHT! Let’s hit this one out of the park! I’m so sure of it this time! YEAH. Come on, hand me another pomeranian!” (C2: you mean pomegranate) “Huh? I thought that was french?”
[Happy] “You’re important to me. Don’t disappear, alright? I’ve grown really fond of you, and now I’m afraid to lose you. I’m going to give you a hug alright? *He kisses her* AH MAN. How did I POSSIBLY Screw that up?! Ugh. I’m such an idiot.”
[Romantically] “Can I kiss you? It’ll be in vain wouldn’t it. *Laughs nervously* I-I mean I didn’t want to just do it, and you then to slap me. I’ve heard you’re really strong. I really, really like that. Honest. That determination in your eyes, always. It brings my heart to a flutter. *Laughs* I’m going to do it, okay? Don’t get mad. Promise? … Okay… Um… *He kisses her, she playfully slaps him* AH! [Snickering] Hey! I thought we had a deal! Get over here!
[Determined/Angry] “I’ll be sure to push him back! I won’t stand to lose to him. You mean more to me than you could possibly know, and I’m not going to miss my chance. If I have to win to prove to you how I feel, then I will. You have to know that I won’t back down. You mean more to me than you could possibly know.”
Just realized that there's a lot of wet tongue clicking here. I forgot to use my pop filter, and I had just chugged a post-gym gatorade. My bad, but it won't sound like that in the future. Also, I did horrible on the last audition line. I know. I don't want to remove this, but I'll happily post another audition up if that's a deciding factor. Otherwise, I think I followed your suggestions pretty well.
