I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

Renai lowered her head slightly: "There are some things that I can't say to him face to face, but if we are separated, maybe it's okay."

Momoka smiled slightly, stepped forward and put her hands on Ninai: "Okay, Ninai, you just need to release yourself, turn everything you want to say into a song, and shout it out."

"Yeah!" Renai made up her mind and nodded.

"We'll let him come and watch next time we go to a livehouse, or we can go to a higher and bigger stage."

Momoka, An and Subaru all laughed.

"Okay, but before that, Renai, you need to change your clothes."

"It's impossible to go on stage like this."

……

She put on an extremely exaggerated outfit.

Renai stood at the back of the stage, feeling extremely embarrassed and angry.

"Why did Momoka-san pick such an outfit for me..."

"Fortunately, he can't come over today..."

At this time, Rencai was wearing a very fancy outfit, a princess dress with pink as the main color and colorful patterns dotted on it, which had a Disneyland feel.

The watermelon green stockings on the legs create a strong contrasting effect with the outfit. This bold combination is really eye-catching.

"Nina, it's about time to come out. Don't you have something to say?"

"Then use this energy to pour everything you want to say and express into the song."

Upon hearing this, Rencai clenched her fists and rushed out of the backstage.

The lights from the square shone on her, which was a bit dazzling at first, but she soon adjusted to the light, stood firm, and cast her eyes on the audience who had gathered for the band's performance.

Her heart was beating faster and faster, and she turned to look at Momoka, and An and Subaru who had picked up the drumsticks.

Taking a deep breath, Renai first shouted into the microphone.

"what!!"

The child's voice echoed throughout the square, startling many people.

But then, she continued, "Uehara Toru!"

"The audition must be a success. I believe you can do it!!——"

Seeing this, An and Subaru also shouted.

"Me too!~"

Many people were confused, but only Taoxiang smiled knowingly. She gently plucked the guitar strings and the performance officially began.

Following the passionate rhythm of the music, Sister Xiaohai quickly got into the mood. She held the microphone tightly, leaned her body slightly, looked at him with sharp eyes, and performed the song with all her heart.

"No matter how long you wait, nothing will change.

That means no one is worthy of reliance.

In the end, blaming others won’t make the pain go away…”

Little Sister sings songs that represent her past, and her petite body conceals amazing power.

At this moment, she longed to pass this power directly to Toru Uehara.

Idiot Toru, I don't want to see you sad.

It must be ugly.

So, you must succeed!

-

At this time, Toru Uehara had already arrived at the audition.

This audition is very different from the usual auditions.

In the past, auditions usually involve providing voice samples and audio files of trial readings of lines, which are directly emailed to the other party’s company’s mailbox.

The script will be sent to you only after we confirm that your voice is qualified and has passed the test.

But this time it’s not like that. This time, as long as you sign up, anyone can participate.

Moreover, they came to the exhibition hall provided by the animation production company UFO, where a large number of voice actors gathered together for audition.

Therefore, Toru Uehara also met many veteran voice actors who he would never have the opportunity to meet normally.

For example, Hiro Shimono, Takahiro Sakurai, Kana Hanazawa, Katsuyuki Konishi, Tomokazu Sugita, etc.

Even senior artists who debuted in the last century, such as Ishida Akira and Seki Toshihiko, are among them.

According to a rough estimate, there are probably nearly a hundred voice actors present now.

Today, we have to listen to the auditions of so many voice actors, and the task of sound supervision is heavier than ever before.

Since Toru Uehara had no acquaintances in the same industry and had no intention of getting close to seniors he was not familiar with, he found a place to stand in a corner, closed his eyes, and waited quietly for the audition later.

This audition was not held in a closed recording studio, but rather required the candidates to show themselves in front of so many voice actors. It was a unique audition.

The sound director looked around and after making sure everyone was present, he handed the microphone to the producer nearby.

The producer took the microphone and said with a smile.

"Hello everyone, first of all I would like to thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend today's Demon Slayer seiyuu audition."

"We know that everyone's time is very valuable, so we will get straight to the point. According to the arrangement, we will first invite the voice actors from 81 Produce to the stage. Please be ready."

Without further ado, the audition began quickly.

The first person to take the stage was a female voice actor with shoulder-length hair and beautiful features.

Her eyes are gentle and her brows reveal a sense of intimacy, giving people an impression of being approachable.

"I'm Reina Ueda from 81 Produce, and this time I'm going to play Kanao Kurikara."

Next comes the lines of the corresponding characters in the script.

"I'm really sorry that I couldn't cry when Sister Kanae died."

Reina Ueda's voice is delicate and soft, as if gently wrapped in a layer of soft gauze, and sounds particularly pleasant.

Although her voice is not loud and her emotions are not drastic, her soft voice alone can easily evoke the image of a gentle, moving and lovable beauty in people's hearts.

The producer and the sound supervisor both nodded: "Can we try Nezuko's lines?"

"of course."

Generally speaking, even if a voice actor chooses the lines of a certain character for audition, there is a chance that he or she will be asked to audition for other roles. The main purpose is to explore various possibilities in the voice.

It is not uncommon for the role that is initially auditioned to be completely unrelated to the role that is finally confirmed for dubbing.

"Okay, thank you. That's enough."

"Next person."

After the audition, Rena Ueda couldn't help but cover her chest.

Just now, after a bunch of seniors pushing and shoving each other, I was actually the first one from the same firm to go on stage.

She really had no words to describe her pain. She had to audition in front of so many colleagues. Even though she had experienced this before, she was still very nervous.

After hurriedly stepping off the stage, she had no way to return to her previous position, so she thought of going to a corner, near a vending machine, to rest for a while, and then wait for the results.

However, what was unexpected was that someone had already occupied this precious land.

Toru Uehara looked at Rena Ueda who was walking towards him, nodded to her, and continued to watch other people's dubbing.

Reina Ueda was a little confused, but she didn't force a greeting. Instead, she thought to herself: Is he a staff member?

Faces I haven't seen before.

But he is so handsome, could he be a model?

After taking a few quick glances, Ueda Reina leaned against the side of the vending machine and exhaled slowly.

The audition on the stage is still going on, and this time it is the turn of several seniors from the same company.

As Ueda Reina listened, she calmed down.

At this moment, Toru Uehara suddenly spoke to her.

"Ueda-san, why did you choose the role of Kanao in the first place?"

"Huh?" Rena Ueda blinked and looked at him in surprise.

It was then that Toru Uehara slowly introduced himself.

"I'm Toru Uehara from CIM Agency. I should have debuted in the same year as you, Ueda-san."

"Hey, are you a voice actor too?" Rena Ueda said in surprise.

Uehara Toru: “Hmm…”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else..."

"Ah, you're asking me about casting, right?"

Ueda Reina pondered for a moment and quickly gave an answer: "Because I think this role is the most suitable and can best bring out the characteristics of my voice, right?"

Uehara: “But there are very few lines, right?”

"Hmm... If you put it that way, the heroine Nezuko also has very few lines, but I personally think that the most important thing is whether it suits you more than the number of lines."

"Makes sense."

"Uehara-san, which role do you want to audition for?"

"Muzan and Kubihira Inosuke."

"Eh?"

Ueda Reina didn't know how to comment: "What a bold attempt."

“But please keep going!~” Her voice was just as soft and delicate when she encouraged others, making people feel extremely comfortable and reassuring.

Toru Uehara smiled at him and stopped chatting.

Soon, one voice actor after another took turns to go on stage for audition.

As Toru Uehara listened to the whole process, he once again realized the powerful abilities of these senior voice actors.

The first is a sense of relaxation. Most of the seniors are able to do it with ease and can express themselves freely while dubbing.

Natsuki Hanae, who debuted three years earlier than herself, amazed everyone as soon as she opened her mouth.

That clear and loud voice seemed to instantly inject vitality into the character of Tanjiro, making the character come alive.

Almost the moment he heard it, Toru Uehara was convinced that this role was destined for him and no one could surpass him.

A morning passed and about fifty or sixty people were auditioned.

There is still half left, and we will continue at 2pm.

During this period, Toru Uehara talked a lot with Rena Ueda, mainly about their understanding of acting in the work Demon Slayer and various little tips.

Reina Ueda gives him a completely different feeling from the other two female voice actors.

Mizuno Inori has a lot of little thoughts of her own, and she probably has a strong desire to control. Even if you become her friend, you will probably be controlled. Although a lot of useful information was said, Uehara Toru's favorability towards her remained at 0, neither increasing nor decreasing.

Sakura Ayane, seemingly close to him and willing to talk about everything, was actually just an illusion. Except for the beginning when she approached him purposefully, she would allow her to sit closer to him. Other than that, she would always keep a distance of at least thirty to forty centimeters from him in order to talk normally.

Moreover, she seems to be very prejudiced against men. She likes to complain about them in her own ears whenever she has nothing to do, and never talks about any practical acting skills.

Toru Uehara's favorability is -30.

Reina Ueda is different. She doesn't have those complicated thoughts. She is always happy to share her experiences and stories with others. She is the kind of person who likes to encourage and praise others.

After such a brief contact, Toru Uehara felt that her personality was not sharp, but extremely peaceful and gentle, the type that made people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

I have a good impression of him, at least the first impression is good.

"It's time for halftime... Uehara-san, I have other work to do this afternoon, so I can't..."

Uehara Toru nodded: "Okay, goodbye."

Reina Ueda looked at him saying goodbye to her so straightforwardly, hesitated for a while, and ultimately did not take out her cell phone to exchange contact information.

"Uehara-san, I wish you success."
