The Rising Fallen - An Anime Television Series
Nitefrite for Hikari
Character Age: 17
Character Voice Expectations: Hikari is one of Niko's closest friends. Ever since she was adopted by the Vandel Family she found a new life beside Hikari who is the daughter of Head CEO Executive Gin Nakamura of Belfront National High School. Niko has always confided in Hikari about her past and Hikari was always there to comfort her. As Ayumi is the lifeline for Kaito, Hikari is Niko's lifeline. Hikari is a queen of gossip and, at times, extremely nosy and bothersome even though her father has warned her many times to keep the professionalism of their family name in tact. However, she always comes to Niko first before telling anyone else about any rumors she has heard yet always has to annoy Niko long enough to get HER to talk whenever Hikari feels Niko is hiding something from her. I have no expectations for Hikari's voice. It can be high and cute or low and authoritative; as long as it sounds like an average anime teenager between the ages of 13-17.
*I wasn't sure how to approach the disgust the girl feels in these lines so in place of the "uck" and "bleh" put whatever sounds right to you.*
Hikari runs into Niko's classroom and approaches the front of her desk throwing her hands down on the desk in front of Niko.
[Excited] "Hey, Niko! You'll never guess what happened today. You know that strange janitor who spends an awful lot of time around the gym? The school council found out he's a convicted pedophile! Uck! Just thinking about how many times he probably put those perverted eyes on me just makes me wanna, bleh!"
Hikari notices Niko is ignoring her. Soon after, feeling concerned but also suspicious since she hates when things are kept from her by her best friend.
"Huh? Hello Niko, Earth to Niko.
[Curious] "Where'd you go? You were literally zoned out for a moment there. Have been like this all morning?"
[Suspicious] "You know, you've been like this for the last few days now. What's wrong? Did something happen? Or does this have anything to do with that boy you've suddenly started talking about during lunch? What was his name? Kaito, right?"
At this point, Hikari is pushing at the unpoken subject and takes a wild guess as to what the problem is with Niko. Soon afterward, Kitari offers a suggestion for Niko's problem.
[Teasing] "Oooh, I see what the problem is. You have a thing for this Kaito fella, don't you?"
[Upset and spoken a bit fast] "Then why do you talk about him so much at lunch? It's literally all you talk about. Kaito this, Kaito that. Is this guy really that great? And another question, why haven't you introduced me to him yet? Hm?"
[Thinking] "You said he vanished after the fire? And they didn't recover any body? [Pause] "Then why don't you start there? [Pause] Anyway, I got to get back to class. See you at lunch!"
I loved your performance. She sounds a little too preppy in her voice though haha cant think of the right word but overall awesome audition! If you'd like to re-audition to try at perfecting this character feel free to message me back on here or through my discord. Thanks!
