Persona 5: The Phan-dub (An abridged series of Persona 5) - Emergency Recasting - Female Voices Needed
Melissa for Makoto Niijima
Makoto Niijima is the student council president of Shujin Academy who lives a double life as a Phantom Thief.
In Persona 5: The Phan-dub, she starts off as very oblivious when she is asked by Principal Kobayakawa to identify the Phantom Thieves as she will discover Ren, Ryuji and Ann openly discussing their plans several times and Makoto will not bat an eye. Even after Ryuji Sakamoto exclaims that he is a Phantom Thief, Makoto will pass it off as just a ‘coincidence’.
After joining the Phantom Thieves during the Kaneshiro’s Palace Arc, she will be in a lot of disputes with Ren Amamiya as he is going to absolutely despise her for several reasons, to which she will also act oblivious towards.
For this role you must be comfortable screaming in pain as you will have to record the scene where she awakens her Persona, Johanna.
For her voice, I am looking for it to be close to her actual English voice; however, if there are other interpretations that you may see fit, then I am open to hearing them!
Also, feel free to add your own improvised line in your audition if you feel like it would be fitting for the character, I would love to hear it!
“So you want me to spy on students... eww.”
[Thinking]
“Wow look, it’s the three students who stand out ‘cause they have actual character design. One of whom was affiliated with Kamoshida, who confessed his crimes after the calling card was put up. I wonder if I should confront them and point out how obvious their scheme is or if I should assume it’s a coincidence for plot reasons.”
[Interrogative, shouting]
“Don’t play dumb with me! You know what I’m talking about, I want answers!”
