I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

Finally, please give me a monthly ticket, please give me a monthly ticket, please give me a monthly ticket.

Volume 1: Chapter 66 This is Xiaoshui's aggressiveness

After "Run with the Wind" began to air, Matsuoka's house fell into silence. Matsuoka and Nobunaga were watching attentively, and no one spoke.

This made Toru Uehara, who was sitting between them, feel a little embarrassed.

Finally, the ending theme sounded, and Matsuoka breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and praised: "Not bad, this story is good."

Nobunaga said, "Indeed, and the voice of the prodigy is Kouki, I recognized it right away."

Matsuoka: "I kind of want to buy the original novel, but I don't want to ruin the experience of following the show..."

Nobunaga: "Haha, me too."

"Cough cough." Toru Uehara's cough interrupted their discussion.

He blinked and asked, "Um...how's my dubbing..."

Matsuoka and Nobunaga looked at each other and put their hands on Uehara Toru's shoulders at the same time.

"Uehara, do you know what the highest level as a voice actor is?" Nobunaga asked.

"It's not about making others marvel at your voice acting skills or how well you fit the role. That's not the most important thing."

Matsuoka added: "The key is to make everyone feel comfortable and fully immersed in the story, rather than caring about your dubbing."

"Ultimately, we voice actors work for this goal."

"In other words, Toru, the dubbing you just did has already reached this level."

Uehara Toru listened to the comments of the two seniors, and his eyes lit up slightly, and then he couldn't help laughing: "That's great."

"Okay, okay, we can start playing games. Sincerity, go get two bottles of wine."

"Do you need some snacks?" asked Toru Uehara.

"No, no, we can just order takeout, so we won't bother you to make it."

……

At the same time, Nana Toyama, who had watched the first episode of Run with the Wind, had already looked up Toru Uehara's basic information.

Agency CIM, debuted for five years...

Ah!

It turns out that he is a junior...

Nana Toyama's heart finally died.

but……

She began to look up Toru Uehara's resume as a voice actor over the past five years, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really not easy."

……

After watching Run with the Wind, Mizuno Nori washed her face at midnight. For work and her personal love for the second dimension, she would pick some new shows every season, and she thought today's show was quite outstanding.

So she decisively switched to the first of her seven accounts and began to write articles to comment.

First of all, she certainly affirmed the core of the story, expressed her love for such a story, and thought it was very inspiring and reminded her of her past. Then, she began to speak her mind and praised her favorite voice actor.

Although this account has only a few hundred followers, these fans are relatively active and like the comments and opinions she posts here.

Since Mizuno Inori entered the voice actor industry, she has always admired a female voice actor named Mizuki Nana. Many of her previous enthusiastic comments were mostly centered around this senior voice actor.

Nana Mizuki is undoubtedly an all-round superstar. Not only does she perform excellently and impeccably as a voice actor, but she has also achieved remarkable achievements in her singing career, which makes people have to respect her.

But today, Mizuno Inori decided to evaluate Uehara Toru's performance in a neutral and objective manner. How to make the comments appear natural rather than deliberate is the key point she needs to consider.

She typed the words on the page intently, and first explained why she paid attention to Toru Uehara, mainly because she was attracted by his voice.

Then, from the perspective of a professional voice actor, she carefully analyzed his acting skills and expressed her satisfaction.

Inori Mizuno once gave Toru Uehara a lot of guidance, and now he has obviously put these teachings into practice. Whether it is the treatment of the ending sound or the fit with the character's emotions, Toru Uehara's progress is obvious.

He wrote a thousand words in a smooth and fluent style. What was even more impressive was that Mizuno Inori completed this well-received article in just ten minutes and posted it on her own small account homepage.

Mizuno Qi nodded with satisfaction and was about to switch to her homepage when she found a message on her recommendation page.

This is a statement from Sakura Ayane's personal account.

“The first episode of Run with the Wind is really good. It was voiced by my good partner and friend Toru Uehara. This is a sports-themed animation. Friends who are interested can go and watch it. I highly recommend it!”

The corners of Mizuno Qi's mouth twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but whisper to herself: "You don't usually read this kind of subject matter, what you say is too fake."

"And...good friend?" She added silently in her heart, Does Uehara Toru know that he is your good friend?

Mizuno Qi now felt an indescribable irritation towards her so-called "sister".

She recalled how soft-hearted she was at that time. After all, it was a rainy day and there was thunder outside. It seemed too cruel of her not to let her in.

But after letting her in, I hadn't decided at all whether I really wanted to reconcile with her.

The atmosphere at that time was so complicated, and now after they separated, Mizuno Qi felt even more awkward.

Ahhh...

I feel like there's too much pressure building up.

During this period, she was busy with performances and had to smile to all kinds of people every day. She had to take responsibility for any problems that occurred. What annoyed her most was that no matter where she went, there were always some so-called leaders who were ignorant of propriety and pushed for more.

She wasn't very clear at first why she was so obsessed with Toru Uehara, but as time went on, she gradually understood the reason.

The hearty conversations that afternoon and the complete relaxation in the park in the early morning were like a traveler crossing the desert finally finding an oasis and a clear spring, or like finally finding a ray of fire to warm the palms in the severe cold.

The most important thing is that Toru Uehara did not record or videotape the conversation. Although she did not confirm it personally, she firmly believed that he would not do so.

He discovered other people's secrets, but he would not use them for personal gain. He just wanted to gain advice and experience because of his desire for acting. He devoted himself to his work without any evil thoughts.

In this increasingly complex world, he still maintains a childlike heart.

This was the first time Mizuno Qi met such a person, so after the first meeting and two contacts, she could never forget him.

Gently putting down the phone, Mizuno Qi sighed softly: "It will take another ten days to return to Tokyo..."

"I'm really tired..."

"So tired."

The article uploaded by Mizuno Inori received comments very quickly, and fans who were used to reading her comments were a little surprised. Usually she always complained or praised female voice actors, but now she started to recommend male voice actors?

Is this Toru Uehara really that charming?

Some people did not turn off the forwarding function when commenting, so this article was slowly forwarded to other places, and the push and traffic were quietly growing.

At 8:30 the next morning, Rena Ueda sent a message to Toru Uehara and attached the article praising him.

Kotaro is the cutest: Uehara-kun, look, you already have your own fans after only the first episode was aired.

Toru Uehara clicked on the picture and read the comments carefully. He was silent for a moment, then covered his face with his hands. He felt a little itchy, but still pretended to be calm and replied to Rena Ueda.

The food I cook is the best: Oh.

As soon as Ueda Reina saw this reply, she laughed happily, because she had already guessed Uehara Toru's expression at the moment, which was that he was definitely too shy to know what to say.

Kotaro, who was lying lazily on the side, glanced at his mother and drooped his tail helplessly.

Ever since that male human left, I have lost interest in my food.

Human, when will you come to my home again?

I miss you so much and so does my mom.

Although the popularity of "Run with the Wind" is not particularly high, after the first episode was broadcast, it did attract a group of viewers who are interested in sports and received their praise.

Hakone Ekiden is a national event in Japan, and its popularity can be said to be comparable to the Kohaku Uta Gassen, or even more popular in some ways.

As long as there is spread, as long as the subsequent production maintains the standard and the storytelling is smooth, it is indeed not difficult to attract a group of loyal fans.

After the first episode was aired, Toru Uehara quickly received his next work assignment: live broadcast.

The so-called "live broadcast" refers to the live broadcast of voice actors in front of the camera. On the surface, it seems like they are just chatting casually, but in fact they are conducting commercial promotion throughout the process to show the charm of their work.

This was his first time participating in such an activity, and he felt a little nervous and confused at first. However, after hearing Sakura Ayane's previous experience, he felt more confident.

This time, Toru Uehara will co-host the live event with Toyonaga Toshiyuki, who is also the leading actor.

Toyonaga Toshiyuki noticed that Uehara Toru was visibly nervous, so he consoled him, "Don't worry, Uehara, just pretend there's no camera and chat like normal."

"Thank you, senior." Uehara Toru nodded, but couldn't help looking at the camera. After seeing the director signal that they could start, he and Toyonaga Toshiyuki began to introduce themselves and greet the audience.

The audiences who pay attention to the work "Run with the Wind" and watch the live broadcast are mainly otakus, because although the work has an original work and has been adapted into a TV series, the audience group for the live broadcast of the animation is relatively fixed.

There are already many well-known voice actor fans and heavy ACG enthusiasts watching this show online. They were all surprised when they saw that the voice actor of Kurana Zou was a handsome guy.

But soon, their initial good impression of Uehara Toru disappeared. In their opinion, this new voice actor who had never been seen before and had outstanding appearance was a deviation from the traditional voice actor spirit. No, it should be said that he was not a real voice actor at all.

But those who come in through connections or back doors.

As a result, during the entire live broadcast, many negative comments appeared in the barrage.

There are doubts, criticisms, and even boredom, to name a few.

Toshiyuki Toyonaga obviously did not expect the tone of the barrage to become so negative. He looked at Toru Uehara beside him, but found that he acted as if he didn't care at all. He just continued to perform his duties with a smile.

If there are no positive comments, then make up your own comments to continue the live broadcast.

Until the end of the live broadcast, Toru Uehara did not encounter any broadcasting accidents and performed very professionally.

After all the work was finished, Feng Yongli walked over and couldn't help asking, "Uehara, are you okay?"

"Ok?"

"It's okay...what's wrong, senior?"

"Ah, that's the rhythm in the barrage just now. This is the first time I've encountered such a situation... so I'm sorry that I can't help you."

"fine."

"Aren't you angry?"

"…It's a bit false to say I'm not angry, but if I have to say it, I'm not that angry."

"Compared to these, I cherish my current job more. I just want to do what I should do well."

"Thank you for your concern, senior."

Toru Uehara's answer was very appropriate. At this time, the live broadcast on the Internet, which should have ended, could still be heard, even though the screen was black.

"Broadcast accident?"

Regardless of whether it was an accident or not, those netizens who followed the trend and attacked Uehara Toru fell silent.

When Toru Uehara walked backstage and was about to leave the scene, a figure suddenly appeared, walked up to him and hugged him tightly.

Toru Uehara was stunned for a moment, then looked down and found that it was his agent.

The agent said excitedly: "Well done, well done, Uehara."

"It was handled very well just now."

"Just go back and wait for the fire."

"what?"

Toru Uehara was still a little confused at this time and didn't quite understand the meaning of his agent's words.

But soon, when he returned home in the evening, everything became clear.

A video went viral on social media platforms such as X and Niconico. The content was a video of his live broadcast with comments. The video was edited and the title was prominently marked as "The amazing response of a professional voice actor", and it was recommended for all public figures to watch and learn from.

Toru Uehara is certainly not a foolish person. When he saw the title of the video, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

I see. The agency plans to use this incident for publicity.

He thought to himself, could those who are guiding the direction of the barrage be people from the firm?

The water in the voice actor industry is indeed bottomless.

Not long after Toru Uehara sat down on the sofa, he received greetings from several people.
