Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth GAME FANDUB
Samantha B. for Nokia Shiramine
Role Description
Nokia’s VA should be able to portray her energetic attitude as well as her silly comic-relief side. Due to her unbridled confidence in herself, both as a person and physically, being able to brag naturally is a key skill that is necessary for voicing her. She also frequently does the “Noblewoman’s Laugh,” so that, too, is an important skill necessary for voicing her.
Nokia should have a fairly high voice, think Cherami Leigh. Below I’ve sourced two voice references, one for the Japanese Original, and one for Cherami Leigh because I could totally see a similar voice like hers for Nokia.
(Includes the aforementioned “Noblewoman’s Laugh” at 4:07.)
Keep in mind that these samples only serve as a reference and you do not need to replicate them perfectly. They’re more of a guideline than a “rule”.
Character Description
Nokia is a confident yet silly young lady and a key character in Cyber Sleuth.
Oftentimes she serves as comic relief, by accidentally showing feats of incredible strength, then wondering how she did that, and lastly backpedaling and pretending like she meant to do so all along.
She is one of the few people who immediately believe Digimon to be living beings upon seeing them, and not just programs– finding her partners Agumon and Gabumon adorable, and ending up fighting for the liberation of all Digimon who are being treated poorly by hackers. She represents the more “classic” Digimon Fan, both through her perception of Digimon and through her character. Throughout the game, she becomes one of the most powerful “Hackers” in Cyber Sleuth’s continuity, though she prefers the term “Tamer”.- female teen
[Hyping herself up as Takumi asks her for “what a girl would like as a present” (for a case)] Hmm… A present for a girl… Say, Takumi, why would you ask me that– Wait… …OMG!! You LIKE someone, don’t you?! But… You already have me. Wait! Could that be why you’re asking me?! You’re trying to win my heart?!
[Fighting a Hacker who claims that Digimon are nothing but programs.] Digimon are not just programs, how many times do I have to tell you?! They have emotions, feelings, senses, personalities… Aaaah, but I just can’t get it into your thick skull, can I?! Alright then! I took a crash course and beefed up my skills! I won’t go down as easily as last time!
Noblewoman’s laugh. Cocky.] Ohohoho! How do you like that?! The miracle that the bond between me and my Digimon made reality! [Realizes that she has no clue what just happened.] …Eh? EH?! Waaah! Wargreymon?! Metalgarurumon?! W-w-w-what happened to you guys?!
