423, the seed sauce that is uneasy about the audition
On November 15th, the highest temperature in Tokyo was 4 degrees Celsius.
Today, Kyoto Animation's Tokyo subsidiary, AnitionDo, held an audition for "Genki Girls' Romance" at a recording studio in Azabu Juban.
Risa Taneda held the audition script in both hands, took a deep breath, mustered up courage, and stepped into the door of the recording studio.
Since she got sick, she hasn't dubbed the main service again, and she rarely even receives audition invitations for the main service, so she will inevitably seem nervous.
The studio was crowded with dozens of voice actors, who sat in chairs on either side of the hallway, looking at the script in their hands intently, and occasionally talking to the people next to them.
There are a lot of people in it who have collaborated with Risa Tanada, after all, the voice actor circle in Tokyo is so big.
But if you really want to say how good and familiar the relationship is, it's nonsense, she doesn't have many real friends in the industry, and most of these people at the audition club are nodding friends with her, the kind that has said a few words.
She felt a little uneasy.
That inexplicable feeling...
If only that Aramura-kun guy were here...
Just when Risa Taneda was stunned, a female voice actor in a gray-purple sweater walked towards her with a tablebook.
"Seed sauce, long time no see." The female voice actress greeted Risa Taneda with a smile.
"Reiko, long time no see." Risa Taneda smiled and nodded in response.
Suzuko Mimori was so familiar that she hugged her arm, "Seed-chan, how is your throat recovering?"
"It's not bad, at least it won't relapse easily." Risa Taneda said.
During the period after she was discharged from the hospital, she basically had to go to Dr. Kamiyama once a week, and she had been paying attention to her voice and diet, and her throat recovered very quickly.
Of course, she herself would not have been so self-conscious, thanks to the blessing of a certain "overseer" who lived next door to her and became extremely rigid and tough in the face of illness.
"That's right." Suzuko Mimori unfolded her script, "Which character are you auditioning for?" Mine is Nana Momozono."
Taneda Risa also opened the script, "Mine is also Nana Momozono, Reiko, today we are competitors."
"Ahh How so... The thought of competing with you for a role makes me feel so stressed..."
"Reiko, you're too arrogant, I'm a sick patient now, and it's a question of whether the sound supervisor dares to use it."
In fact, the two of them can be regarded as evenly matched, Mimori Suzuko's voice is relatively single and her acting skills are slightly poor, and although Risa Farming is okay with these two points, the fact is just as she said, it is unknown whether she is sick or not, whether the sound supervisor dares to use her.
The two didn't have a word to talk about, and the time soon came to half past eight, and there was still half an hour before the audition began.
The crew also arrived one after another.
The representative of the publishing house of the original manga, Shirasensha, Ryoshima Heinobu, the representative of Kyoto Animation, the animation supervisor Tatsuya Ishihara, and the sound director Yota Tsuruoka... There were six or seven of them.
"Everyone, they're all old acquaintances, so I won't say anything more." Yota Tsuruoka walked in front of the voice actors and clapped his palms, "Please hurry up and adjust your status, and the audition will officially start in half an hour!"
"Yes!"
All the voice actors stood up in unison and bowed to him.
Yota Hegang returned the salute, and then turned his head to look at the assistant who came out of the recording studio, "Has the equipment been debugged?"
"It's done." The assistant nodded repeatedly.
Hegang Yang Tai bowed his head and looked around again, "Huh? Why is that guy missing? You were still with me just now... Isn't it, he can run away at the audition?"
"Do you want to postpone the audition?" the assistant asked, a little embarrassed.
"Wait twenty minutes, and if he hasn't come in twenty minutes, he will communicate with the voice actors and postpone the audition."
"Yes."
Suzuko Mimori, who heard their conversation, patted Taneda Risa on the shoulder and asked curiously, "Sono-chan, did you say that there are any important people who haven't arrived yet?" It's so serious that I have to postpone the audition."
"I don't know." Risa Tanada, who is a shareholder of AnitionDo but has never asked about the company's affairs, shook her head, "I'll see... Representatives of the original publishing house, investors, animation supervisors, sound supervisors... It's time to arrive..."
Click!
As soon as Taneda Risa's words fell, the door was opened again.
A young man with a thin figure and an indifferent temperament walked in.
It's Takuya Aramura.
He wore a white turtleneck sweater with a black embroidered baseball jacket over it, his right hand still dangling from his neck in a plaster cast, and a white plastic bottle in his left hand.
Risa Taneda's eyes widened suddenly.
After looking around, Takuya Aramura determined the location and nodded slightly to her.
"You're here, at last!" Yota Tsuruoka gritted his teeth and slapped him in the air.
"Sorry, I just bought something outside." Takuya Aramura apologized not very sincerely, and then turned around and bent over Ishihara Tatsuya, "Uncle Ishihara."
"Hmm." Ishihara also smiled kindly at him.
"How's the situation in Kyoto?"
"What do you meanโ"
"Well, that's probably the one you think."
"When the audition is over, we'll go out alone."
"Okay."
This conversation that feels incomprehensible ends, and Takuya Aramura follows Ishihara Tatsuya and them into the recording studio.
Risa Taneda was still staring at her eyes that were so easy to see that they could fascinate people, staring at the closed door of the studio, not yet able to shake off the surprise.
"Seed sauce." Suzuko Mimori stretched out her palm and shook it twice in front of her eyes, and laughed, "Don't look at it! The man has already gone in!"
"What's so nice about that man who only makes people angry all day long." There was a hint of girlish shyness on Taneda Risa's face, "I'm not looking at him."
"Who are you talking about?" Suzuko Mimori pretended to be stupid, "Could it be Aramura-san?"
"Reiko!"
"Hahahaha~"
"Don't talk nonsense about that."
Risa Tanada is a bold girl, she never hides her love for Takuya Aramura, but that's only in front of him or people he doesn't know, and she's not much different from ordinary girls in front of people she knows, and she's shy and duplicitous.
"Hey, hey, hey..." Mimori Suzuko smiled, her eyes full of ridicule, "Seed sauce, you don't have to hide it, people in the industry are not blind, the ambiguous relationship between the two of you can be understood by everyone, okay."
Risa Tanada stopped talking, neither admitting nor refuting.
Suzuko Mimori only acquiesced, raised her head and whispered, "By the way, Aramura-san is really popular in the industry... Several female voice actors have an unclear relationship with him..."
Risa Taneda looked at the door of the recording studio and thought to herself, "Not to mention a few female voice actors, Aramura-kun also kidnapped a noble daughter from Kyoto a few days ago..."
