I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

Although this was not the first time she had seen Toru Uehara, she was still shocked by his stunning appearance when she got so close to him.

To be honest, how could such a person be a voice actor? The first thing that came to Mika Kohinata's mind was that it was a waste of talent.

After she briefly introduced herself, Uehara bought her a drink and began to talk about her current situation in the project.

"So, you were discovered directly by a scout?"

"Yes, at first they wanted me to be a model, but then it turned into a voice actor. After learning that I had experience as a bassist, they asked me to start preparing for the BangDream project."

Kohinata Mika answered with fear, fearing that if she answered poorly she would anger this senior.

"So when do you start the selection?"

“Probably before April next year.”

"It's been a long time...Is there no work to do before then?"

"Not really. There are jobs available, but newcomers like us usually can't find them, so we can only continue to work part-time."

"But I heard that the company will give us a subsidy and subsequent job recommendation guarantee, so it's actually not bad. It's a good opportunity."

"They actually provide security." Uehara Toru was also stunned.

He had nothing before and could only work to earn money.

It seems that the treatment of voice actors is indeed getting better and better now.

After all, their projects are actually quite strict, and it is basically difficult for most voice actors to take on other roles. In other words, as long as the project is still running, they will always be bound to the project.

For them, the saying that characters are characters and voice actors are voice actors doesn't work, they have to cosplay each other.

It is because Toru Uehara has learned about the current mainstream 2.5-dimensional idol voice actor projects that he is resisting these jobs.

He doesn't want to be tied to a certain role, he feels he has more possibilities.

The traditional voice actor path would be more suitable for him.

After chatting with Kohinata Mika for about ten minutes, Uehara Toru thanked her and then went off to work.

Mika Kohinata looked at the back of her senior, feeling a little emotional. When she came to her senses, she realized that she seemed to have missed something.

"I forgot to sign..."

At the recording site of the zoo cartoon, the producer originally planned to find a few ventriloquist masters to do the dubbing. After all, compared to the kind of animal anthropomorphism that is purely for the sake of children, he actually wanted to perform closer to the voices of the animals themselves.

We found Toru Uehara because most supervisors commented on his changeable voice.

The producers are now eager to know how varied it is.

Looking at Toru Uehara's outstanding face, the producer coughed and said, "Mr. Uehara, rather than reciting the lines themselves, I hope you can imitate the sounds of these animals and then recite the lines. Can you do it?"

"For example, a kitten sounds like nya. Can you summarize the habits of these animals and then use your own way to show both the characteristics of animals and people?"

Toru Uehara listened to the other party's detailed request, but he was not angry. Instead, he began to think seriously.

The supervisor at the side was obviously sweating. This was a typical case of an amateur giving orders blindly.

Voice actors are not the kind of people who specialize in ventriloquism, how can they possibly accomplish...

Uehara Toru first made a sound like a sparrow.

"Something like this?"

"Right, right, right!! That's right, Uehara-san, you really understand!"

"Roar!——" What followed was the roar of a lion.

The roar of the hippopotamus and the squeak of the vole, basically all the animals that appear above have been dubbed by Toru Uehara, fully demonstrating the plasticity of his voice and the terrifying control over his current vocal line.

I can only say that he usually plays with those male protagonists in the harem, which is indeed a bit of a waste, as his skills are far more than that.

Facing the stunned supervisor, the producer said with satisfaction: "It seems that the introduction from your industry is quite real. It fits my imagination of voice actors very well!"

No, no, no, no, our industry is really not like that...

Uehara-san, did you really practice at a zoo or circus?

You're so skilled it's a little scary.

Toru Uehara completed his dubbing perfectly according to the producer's requirements. At the end of the work, the other party shook hands with him happily and asked to add his contact information so that he could be called over for any live performances in the future.

Zoos and kindergartens occasionally have live performances for children.

Toru Uehara did not refuse, because he really liked children. They were all clean, pure and cute.

He never thought about this before, but now he occasionally talks about it when chatting with other senior voice actors.

When mentioning the twin daughters of the Hanae family, Toru Uehara would also reveal a loving smile.

If he marries someone in the future, he would at least want three children.

After saying goodbye to the supervisor and others, Toru Uehara prepared to go and see the situation of the Thorn Group.

Because their album has been selling well recently, the company has seen their great potential and is now preparing an exclusive performance for them as a band.

I just hope nothing happens at this critical juncture.

Uehara Toru must find out today the background of the person who wants to join their band.

It has to be said that although Toru Uehara seems to be a hands-off boss and basically doesn't care about the Ci Tuan and the others, he has actually been paying attention to them privately. Now he cares more about whether they can take off than anyone else.

After all, he knew very well how much this hard-earned opportunity to take off was worth cherishing.

Maybe there is only a period of good luck in life, and it is because of chance and your own efforts that the opportunity comes.

Uehara Toru, who used to believe only in strength above all else, now understands how important this wind is to a person facing adversity.

However, the reason why he was so nervous was because he knew those rock musicians too well.

If they can't get it, they will be destroyed. The thorn group will definitely be envied, there is no way around it.

Quickly driving to where they were practicing, Uehara Toru looked very serious.

However, when he actually arrived at the scene and saw the so-called guitar-playing girl who had disturbed them for a week, he was slightly stunned.

At this moment, the guitar girl with long black hair was showing off her guitar playing and singing in the sun. The acoustic guitar, fresh and melodious voice, and very mature performance, with a sweet smile, were all in the park where she had performed on the street before.

This girl can also be considered as a top-notch existence.

Toru Uehara thought it was a rune warrior, but he didn't expect it to be a very pure girl.

Aoki Haruna was standing on the street and singing. Although she performed well, it was a pity that still no one gave her any tips. After half a day, she probably only earned less than 10,000 yuan.

This amount of money is more than enough for her to live on her own, after all, she is just a student, but now she has a cat...

If you don't treat the disease, the cat might...

"Can I order a song?" Toru Uehara asked, his voice softening.

Standing on the street, playing the acoustic guitar, with long black hair, liking to sing and laugh, basically the same as what Nina described, so it can be confirmed.

"Sure, if you want to hear..."

Uehara Tetsu: "Hmm... Let me think, have you heard of Demon Slayer's OP Gourd Lotus Flower?"

"Of course!" Aoki Haruna's eyes lit up slightly, then she took a deep breath and started playing and singing.

"I know why I'm getting stronger."

"Please take me with you."

"Go ahead!"

After her passionate singing, Aoki Haruna quickly switched to showing off her guitar skills. Her performance was gorgeous and vivid, as if she was painting a beautiful picture with notes.

Toru Uehara was fascinated by the performance and nodded repeatedly. It had indeed been a long time since he had heard a performance of such a high level.

Not only does Daddy play the guitar, she also sings brilliantly, perfectly staying within the right vocal range to bring out the power and momentum that the song should have.

Because Demon Slayer is very popular recently, many passers-by heard her singing this song.

Qi also began to stop and listen. Aoki Haruna was not the kind of person who was afraid of the audience. In fact, the more people there were, the happier she was.

At the end of the song, he even started jumping up and down, and played the guitar more and more vigorously, as if he wanted to pour all his vitality into this song.

Toru Uehara couldn't help but sigh as he watched her performance.

The three of them really needed the blessing of opportunity or a favorable wind to stand out. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Uehara Toru wouldn't have believed that a high-quality street performance like Aoki Haruna would still be troubled by money.

After the performance of Gurenhua, Toru Uehara took out her wallet, took out 20,000 yen and put it in her guitar bag.

When Aoki Haruna saw it, she was stunned for a moment.

Her eyes were full of disbelief, but she then bowed to Uehara Toru excitedly to express her gratitude.

"thanks, thanks!"

Uehara Toru shook his head: "It's okay, mind chatting for a minute?"

"Ok?"

Aoki Haruna put down her guitar and went to a nearby cafe with Uehara Toru, where they sat face to face and talked.

"Hey, so you are Niina's parent..."

Uehara Toru nodded calmly: "Although she also mentioned you to me, why do you want to join their band? Is it because you are simply short of money?"

"Ah..." Aoki Haruna scratched her hair. She was in a completely different state from when she was singing just now, and seemed very restrained.

"Yes, you could say that I am short of money for some personal reasons."

"what reason?"

"The cat is sick and it will cost a lot of money. I may not be able to pay it."

Toru Uehara: "Cat?"

Aoki Haruna nodded, took out her cell phone and handed it to Uehara Toru.

Toru Uehara looked at the white cat with one blue and one yellow eye in the photo. The cat was currently curled up on the carpet, looking listless.

Even the knowledgeable Toru Uehara has to admit that the cat in the photo is quite good-looking, especially with its heterochromatic eyes. It may seem a little weird among other cats, but this unique beauty is more acceptable in human aesthetics.

"What's wrong with it?" asked Toru Uehara.

"I took him to the hospital for a checkup and they said he had feline infectious peritonitis."

Uehara Toru was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "No wonder."

"Then what made you think of coming to see Renai and her band?"

"Ah, because last time I passed by, Nina-chan gave me a tip and praised me for playing the guitar beautifully. Then I happened to know that they were a professional band, so I thought about whether I could try to join them. If not, I would look for other ways out."

It seems that everyone has a consensus that if the band is not professional, it will not make a penny.

Uehara Toru was thoughtful: "The cost of treating FIP is very high... Sorry, I want to ask you something off topic. Are you still studying now?"

"Yes, I'm studying classical music. My major is piano, and guitar is my second interest."

"Classical music!" Toru Uehara's eyes lit up again.

As a self-taught person, he has not received systematic training in university education, and has not learned a lot of knowledge accurately. It does feel different for him to be able to communicate with students of this major.

Toru Uehara thought for a moment and decided that the reasons were sufficient, so he decided to help her.

"First, let me explain one thing to you."

"You say."

"It's impossible for us to let you join the band. The band has already taken shape, and there are still many performances to prepare for. It's impossible for us to add a new member at this time and start over just for you."

The words at the beginning were very cold and sounded merciless, but Aoki Haruna was not surprised. She had already made similar mental preparations. It would be better to say that she came here just to continue making friends with Nina and to try more.

"I understand. Then..."

"And the cost of treating feline infectious peritonitis is extremely high. I suggest you give the cat to someone else to raise as soon as possible. Have you raised it since it was a puppy, or...?"

Aoki Haruna pursed her lips and said, "No, I picked it up by chance when I came to Tokyo to study. It happened recently."

Uehara Toru: "Then it should be given to someone else to raise, like me."

He likes that cat, so keeping it shouldn't be a problem.

Aoki Yokuna was stunned. She had wanted to thank Uehara Toru for his advice and was almost ready to leave.

But I didn't expect...
