Persona 5: The Phan-dub (An abridged series of Persona 5) - Emergency Recasting - Female Voices Needed
Arctic0 for Futaba Sakura
Futaba Sakura is the Navigator of the Phantom Thieves. Despite being a genius computer hacker, she is a shut-in who does not attend school and rarely, if ever, leaves her house until joining the Phantom Thieves.
In Persona 5: The Phan-dub, she will quite literally represent otaku culture and reference mostly video games and Japanese pop culture. Also, despite speaking English, will introduce herself with her surname first, as in ‘Sakura Futaba’ in reference to how Japanese names start with family names before given names.
She will also be addicted to marijuana (weed) and will get stoned fairly often, but not every single scene, of course. The other Phantom Thieves will try their best to prevent her from using cannabis, but Futaba has her ways of regaining access to it.
Other than what was previously mentioned, her personality will remain pretty similar to her canon counterpart, except for occasionally getting high.
For her voice, I am looking for it to be close to her actual English voice albeit you will need to try your best at acting stoned when asked. Once again, 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!
[Confidently announcing her presence]
“I am Sakura Futaba, and I am a gamer! Not because I don’t have a life but because I choose to have many!”
“Sorry, I can’t hear you, I don’t have my glasses on.”
[Stoned]
(Coughs twice) “Did you... uhh... get the weed?... (slight pause) I uh.. need it... now...”
