I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

It might even make the news.

In that case, even if you don't get selected, as long as you have a high ranking and your unique characteristics are featured in the media, your voice acting career will be much easier.

Takehito Koyasu looked around after thinking for a moment.

I guess others think the same way.

"Alright, alright, everyone, are you all almost ready? We'll be here soon," a staff member said as they approached them.

"Yes--"

"Ready."

Koyasu Takehito gripped the manuscript he had received two weeks earlier and said, "Yes."

After a while, the group in front of us came out of the recording studio one after another.

From the front desk, a voice could be heard saying, "Everyone, what did you think of their performance? I thought it was amazing... They seemed incredibly professional. I could never do that. It's a real shame though, though. I wanted to see DIO say that 'Wryyyyyy'... But it seems we won't be hearing it for a while. What a pity..."

The host at the front of the stage was stalling for time by chatting with the audience.

One by one, the other people arrived at their recording studios.

"Wow...a completely independent recording studio." Takehito Koyasu thought to himself in surprise. No wonder there was no background noise when listening to other people's dubbing, even though there were some misalignments.

They really are rich.

However, we can still see and hear outside, but if we turn off this thing in front of us, we can't hear anything at all.

After fiddling with it for a while, Koyasu Takehito got a general idea of ​​what was going on.

With this, I can hear the voice from the front desk; if I turn it off, I can't hear it... Well, I can just turn it off when it's my turn.

"Now, let's begin with the fifth group—"

Accompanied by such sounds.

The lights in the hall gradually dimmed, and the screen in front began playing a video accompanied by a flash of lightning.

The actor playing Dio's father, Dario Brando, let out a low laugh at the opportune moment, accompanying the scene: "Hey, look, there's been an accident."

Takehito Koyasu prepared his lines while looking at the screen.

With so many lines, it's impossible to avoid mistakes when dubbing them directly; in fact, there have been several instances where people burst out laughing.

However! It's precisely because of its difficulty that it's challenging...

Absolutely no laughing... Absolutely no!

You only get one chance...

"Master! The people in the carriage are laughing... I'm... sorry, I couldn't help it..."

"Hahahahaha-"

A burst of laughter came from outside in an instant.

In an instant—

Takehito Koyasu found out that this woman did it on purpose!

Intentionally laughing at this moment to leave a lasting impression! After all, the voters are the audience members! They might have simply voted for someone because they found it amusing...

Thank goodness... thank goodness it's not his competitor. He only needs to stand out among the twenty-odd voice actors who want to play DIO!

Chapter 166 Takehito Koyasu's Voice Acting

"Okay, that's good. Daddy, I'm going now!"

As the voice of "Jonathan" came through the front desk, Takehito Koyasu became slightly nervous.

He kept repeating his first words when he appeared in his mind.

And then—finally!

Looking at the scene before him, he turned off the sound beside him, took a deep breath, and the light from the microphone indicated that the microphone in front of him was already turned on.

The next moment, he projected his presence onto Dio Brando in a tone that was both helpless and impatient, yet he was trying to suppress those emotions, and read the script as if he were Dio Brando: "What, Dad, do you need to take your medicine?"

"Idiot! Medicine is useless! Alcohol! You'd be better off buying me alcohol instead of medicine!"

At this point, his microphone was turned off again.

He breathed a sigh of relief and turned on the voice at the front desk.

It's alright now...it's just the beginning. He only has a few lines each time, but as the plot progresses, he'll have more and more lines, which means...the possibility of him making mistakes will increase!

Then, soon it was his turn again.

He only had one word to say in this passage: "General." Then he just needed to groan out sounds of pain, helplessness, and anger.

Then, starting from the next section, Dior's lines become more frequent.

"Ugly, cunning, your mother died because of you, you are the worst father ever." Takehito Koyasu said, immersing himself in the role of Dio, "You want me to be a powerful and wealthy man? Fine, I'll show you! I'll use anyone I can! Including this nobleman named Joestar!"

"Scumbag! Bah—"

As he spoke, Takehito Koyasu pretended to spit out a mouthful of saliva.

Then, he expressed the sentiment he shared with Dior: "I will become a man who will not lose to anyone!"

However, what he was really thinking was voice actor; he would become the top voice actor in Japan... no, the world!

He was slightly disappointed when he turned on the front desk; there was still no cheering for him, but rather cheers and laughter from the other voice actors...

If this continues... won't we be eliminated?

Takehito Koyasu gritted his teeth.

Then... about ten minutes passed quickly.

Koyasu Takehito felt a surge of tension. Here was a long passage of his, one of the two key moments he believed would be the catalyst for this opportunity!

We must seize this opportunity!

"Oh, your name is Elena?" Takehito Koyasu said in a gentle voice. "You seem to be very close to Jojo. I found it strange. He should be very depressed, but he's been quite smug lately. Oh, I see."

next moment--

In the scene before them, Dio Branda grabbed Elena, who was trying to run away, and kissed her!

It's coming! It's almost here!

Takeshi Koyasu took the opportunity to turn off his microphone for a few seconds, exhale a breath of stale air, and at the same time turn on the front desk's audio.

"Done...done!" came the extra's voice: "As expected of Dior, he can easily do things that we can't."

"Oh oh oh oh-"

The next moment, hearing the cheers outside, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. This was the fifth time this plot had been repeated today! Was it because the plot was surprising? No... that's not right! It should be because of his voice acting!

The next moment, he turned off the front desk and turned on the microphone.

The extra finished speaking at this moment: "That's what's admirable and enviable!"

Koyasu Takehito, seeing Elena lying in the mud on the ground in the video, immediately said, "Have you kissed JOJO? No, you haven't... Your first time wasn't with JOJO, it was with me, DIO!"

"Methods are not a problem, as long as the kiss is achieved, that's enough. That way, her relationship with JOJO will be over. I won't let JOJO have any friends or lovers!"

"Look...look! What is this person thinking? Washing his mouth with muddy water? Is he out of his mind? There's a river not far away..." The extra's surprised voice came over, but it still wasn't surprising enough...it sounded a bit like he was reading aloud.

An extra is just an extra. He chose this role because he lacked confidence in himself. It's not about seniority or connections; anyone could have gotten the part... but he still chose to be an extra. You can tell from his voice that he has no passion for the role.

"This...this woman!!" Takehito Koyasu roared into the microphone, "Is she deliberately washing her mouth with muddy water to provoke me?!"

"Tch! Damn it... I, Dio, have been humiliated by a woman..." Takehito Koyasu continued, his voice strained with barely suppressed anger, "Enough! Let's go..."

"Whoosh-"

The next moment, he turned off the microphone, opened the front desk, and panted, "So tiring... to really get into character..."

He had played minor roles before... and that was his first time working as a voice actor. At that time, he naturally saw how others recorded, which was completely different from this, often involving stopping and editing.

Recording a whole episode in one go like this is a skill only veteran voice actors possess.

And now, as a newcomer just starting out, this is his first challenge... He feels immense pressure!

The room wasn't very hot, but he felt that the back of his clothes was already soaked with sweat.

But... just hang in there a little longer... it'll be over soon!

Just one last paragraph left.

However, the next moment, he felt as if time had barely passed before it was his turn again.

That's true... there wasn't even a minute's interval between the two segments.

At times like these, one naturally doesn't feel the passage of time.

"Di-O-!!!" came the angry roar from Jonathan's voice actor, Myri.

Takehito Koyasu also spoke into the microphone: "You really know how to... casually... call people by their names!"

"Absolutely unforgivable! It's not because you framed me, I don't care about myself!"

"Oh ho," Takehito Koyasu said in a cheerful tone, "So you know about that beloved Elena. And you want to get revenge on me with your fists?"

"I will absolutely not allow you to insult her in any way!"

"How disgusting! The way you look so jealous!" In the video, Dio's elbow strikes Jonathan's face, blood splattering out. "Trying to get punched again like last time, you idiot!"

"I...I can't beat him. But if I give up now, I'll have to live in Dio's shadow from now on. More importantly, I must fight to restore Elena's honor!"

"I'll beat you until you admit defeat, and I'll do it fair and square! In this way, I'll deeply imprint the fact that you can't beat me, DIO, on JOJO's own body, whether in fighting or in life!"

"Ooh ooh————" JOJO roared and charged at DIO.

"Come on!" DIO caught JOJO's punch and then slammed his knee into JOJO's face. Takehito Koyasu chimed in with his voiceover: "Great, that feels good!"

The next moment, JOJO turned around and grabbed him!

"This...this guy...he took my knee strike and grabbed me instead! Want another one?! Ugh—" The next moment, JOJO slammed his head into DIO's nose.

Blood gushed out.
