Interview with rookie voice actor Mayuka Nomura

Every year, many new voice actors emerge, and among them, the rookie voice actor Nomura Mayuka, who has starred in roles including "Monster Girl's Daily Life" (Silk Service), "Meow Noodles" (Salt Meow Noodles) and other roles, was recently interviewed by the media.

Q: It's hard work. What was it like to shoot outside?

A: I'm so nervous~! The photographer asked me to take a few steps, and I turned around (laughs). Originally, I just heard about people like Cun Zài, but I didn't expect to do the same (laughs). And when people say that when they look at him, I will subconsciously look away. Oops, what a shame......

Q: (laughs). What is the sense of what looks like today's clothing is determined?

A: I really like "titty &Co." This brand of clothes, and recently I feel like I'm going to control it a little bit. After thinking about it, I changed to a crisp outfit that was more in line with the summer style. In fact, even my mother said, "You should control your previous taste in clothing, right?" "But I still like cute clothes, even if it's desperately controlled, but it's just a little bit of an adult.

Q: I think you're very mature! So let's start the interview. In the currently airing "The Daily Life of the Monster Lady", you played the role of silk. Her race is slime, and she absorbs things to gain knowledge. So how did you get such a role?

A: I got the role after going to auditions. It was also the first time that I had played a starring role in a 30-minute anime, so I was very happy. When I auditioned, I was initially distressed about playing a slime. However, after watching the original work, it felt like a newborn baby, so I shaped the sound with a very young feeling. Anyway, it's the type of speech that is more vague.

Q: So what kind of feelings do you put into Xiaosi?

A: When she comes into contact with other people, she learns the language little by little. With the increase in the number of times, she has also grown, and my acting skills have to change accordingly, so it feels like I have grown up with her. It's a role I play with a lot of emotion. Of course, because there are not many words, it is also difficult to express joy, anger and sorrow between breaths.

Q: There are a lot of female voice actors in the dubbing scene, so how did it feel at the scene?

A: There are a lot of girls, so we all eat snacks together. It feels like a girls' school (laughs).

Q: The original manga is also very popular, so fans are looking forward to it.

A: I'm worried about whether my role in Sisi meets everyone's requirements...... Now there are two feelings in my heart.,One is that I hope everyone can pay attention to Xiaosi.、The other is that I don't know if everyone will accept my dubbing.。

Q: The theme song "Fastest FallinLove" was sung by 6 monster girls, how did you feel about participating in the singing?

A: The rhythm of the song is fast. Since Xiaosi is a more leisurely girl with a flat tone, she has to sing while taking this voice into account. This makes it very difficult. Although I have also sung character songs in the work "Meow Noodles" before, this time I have to be more aware of the setting of the characters. Also, my voice is relatively low, and it is easy to appear too mature. For this reason, it is necessary to raise the pitch to express xiàn.

Q: Have you practiced it too?

A: When I felt okay, I went to karaoke almost every day to practice songs, about 2 hours! While listening to the melody with headphones, I recorded the audio of the singing, and then confirmed my watch xiàn, trying to get closer to the feeling of Kohito...... That's where I keep trying to do it repeatedly. And after listening to the finished product, I was very moved.

Q: Are there any other roles you'd like to try to play?

A: I envy Mermaid Merlo, the mermaid girl voiced by Miss Haruka Yamazaki! Because I'm more interested in the kind of lady character who looks very stylish.

Q: So, please tell us about the highlights of this work?

A: Because it's a "monster girl", you can experience the excitement that ordinary girls don't have, and the plot unfolds like that...... Basically, there are a lot of highlights in each episode, and it's a very interesting anime. I hope you will pay attention to the growth of Xiaosi.

Q: In addition, the game "Girl Shooter Double V" will also be released on August 6th. And this is also the new work of "Girl Shooting" after four years, and you are playing Kosugi NENEKO again.

A: I played the role of "NENEKO", who was promoted by one grade. Although she is not the main character and is just a school student, she seems to be very popular in the previous generation. Because it's a cat-like character.,So sometimes it's like a cat to shrink into a ball to take a nap.、And the ending modal word will also use "meow~".,In short, it's a very cute character! At the time, I was a student at the Narration Acting Institute in Japan, so it was my first voice acting job. At that time, I couldn't figure out the east, east, west, and west, but I was trying to express cuteness and energy. Because of my role as NENE, I was able to join my current office. Therefore, I felt the fate from it.

Q: Do you like cats?

A: I love cats! Basically, the family has had a cat since birth. I can't get used to living without a cat at all (laughs). The oldest cat in my family is 17 years old and still looks very energetic.

Q: And when "Girl Shooter" is resurrected, is there anything you are looking forward to?

A: The setting that the protagonist became popular because of an angel's small mistake hasn't changed, but it's just that the sexy element has been added. NENEKO also has a lot of lines that make people's hearts beat faster. This time, I brought out my best acting skills! That's what I'm aiming for. And if you can pay attention to NENE, who has grown a little bit, I will be very happy!

Q: XBLAZE, which released its first game in 2013 and released its sequel in April this year, is also your masterpiece. The Es you starred in it are very popular!

A: Es is a character who doesn't have any expressions and doesn't have a mouth. At this point, it's more similar to the "monster girl" silk.。 However, in the process of interacting with various people, she also found something important and grew.

Q: When XBLAZECODE: EMBRYO was released in 2013, you also appeared as a guest on the webcast "ぶるらじH". And what it looked like at that time is still described by many people to this day......

A: (laughs). In the days of the broadcast, I found out that Yahoo was on the list of search keywords, and I had no idea what was going on (laughs). Several friends contacted me and said, "What the hell have you done?" "It was my first time on a radio show, so I was nervous at first, but because of a word from Mr. Tomokazu Sugida, I couldn't help but say what I really said, and after that, I started to go out of my way (laughs). I don't usually use blogs or tweets, so this is the first time I've shown myself so naked.

Q: This question-and-answer format has sparked a conversation. So what is the type you prefer......

A: Ray Za Barrel from Mobile Suit Gundam SEEDDESTINY! The moment I saw him for the first time, I fell in love. First of all, the appearance, blonde hair, long hair, and a little cool look, it's really amazing. And the voice actor is still Mr. Kwan Junyan, which adds to his charm...... Barrel is really handsome, and I am fascinated by his every qiē......

Q: Do you like cool character types?

A: Yes. I'm an M, so I'd like to be left out a little bit...... (laughs)

Q: (laughs). Do you have any other favorite characters?

A: At the same time, I also liked the teak Azusa of "Golden Strings". He also has long hair, but it is purple. He plays the flute, so I want to be his flute (laughs). At that time, my dream was to become a flute and play for him (laughs)!

Q: You turned into a flute (laughs). Speaking of which, Ray Za Barrel also plays the piano.

A: That's right. I think the man who can play a musical instrument is very handsome (laughs). And it's a classical style, which looks very intellectual. I've thought about becoming Ray's piano or Ray's Gundam or something like that (laughs).

Q: When it comes to becoming a favorite character, you're becoming more able to talk about it (laughs). It seems that you used to answer the question "what kind of abilities do you want to have", "look at Ray's panties with perspective ability". This statement is very impactful......!

A: Really, I want to see everything including underwear (laughs). I often imagine what kind of underwear my favorite character is wearing, but Ray must be plain. There is no pattern. In addition, the color should be black or dark gray. After all, I don't think he's interested in underwear. So I think he'll choose a kind of panties that look ordinary.

Q: (laughs). And what about Teak's panties?

A: Teak is more difficult. Because he is a young master from a rich family, he probably doesn't buy clothes by himself, he just wears the clothes his parents bought. He's not a messy person, so I'm afraid the panties don't have any patterns. Really, I want to be his library (laughs). I always tell my friends about my YY with this thought, so my friends are tired and don't love it (laughs).

Q: I don't think you'd talk about it. It's the exact opposite of the first impression, and it's really shocking (laughs).

A: At first, many people thought I was very girly, so I was very surprised when the truth was revealed (laughs). But there are people who are willing to be friends after knowing that I am such a person. For example, with my issue of Mariko-chan Touchi, he said, "Nomura is very good." "It's easy to show your true self, and I'm sure I'll continue to be able to express myself in the future (laughs).

Q: Have you always liked characters like Ray or Teak?

A: The reason why I decided to become a voice actor was Kurama from Yuyu Hakusho. And this is also a long-haired prince charming. Since kindergarten, I've admired Eva Ogata's acting skills, and I've always loved anime, so when I watched works like "Sailor Moon", I found that my favorite characters were voiced by Eva Ogata, and I immediately sighed, "The voice actor is amazing!" "I also wanted to be able to make such a great voice, and I have been aiming to become a voice actor since kindergarten. One day I want to meet Ms. Emi Ogata! But if you do see it, you'll definitely cry (laughs).

Q: I realized that voice actors were born in kindergarten, so I guess it was relatively early. Usually children at that time think that "it's the character himself talking".

A: At the time, I loved playing games that imitated other people, so I guess I watched the anime with that feeling. And I found out that voice actors can play a lot of roles, so I think they are so powerful. I often play the role of a young girl now, but in the future, I would like to try voicing the role of Pokémon and the noble lady character I just mentioned.

Q: Finally, would you like to give a few words to the readers?

A: When I was in kindergarten, I saw the acting skills of the voice actors, and I got a lot of "energy, dreams, and hopes" from them, so I wanted to bring this experience to other audiences. In this way, I had to become a voice actor with excellent acting skills. I'm still a newcomer, but I'm going to continue to work hard to play more roles in the future, so please support me! Be sure to watch "The Daily Life of the Monster Lady"!
