Mayumi Ito, a renowned pop idol, is a sentient fictional character from a 90s dating game. She's also one of the two main love interests in Lucid Dreamer. In her world, Nights of Bittersweet Memories, she falls in love with her bodyguard, Kaname's player character. Having never gotten a chance to experience her own true ending due to a bug in her game, Mayumi seeks to correct the error in her digital world by entering ours. However, the bug persists in our world, giving Mayumi a limited amount of time to help her beloved Kaname. She aims to restore his faith in himself and solve the mystery of her game's fatal flaw.

Mayumi is bubbly and playful. She often gets into trouble for things she says or her lighthearted antics. We're looking for someone with a high-range voice that can convey Mayumi's expressive, upbeat personality. A cute anime-like voice is very acceptable. Here are some voice references to help you understand what we're looking for:
Amber Connor (Hortensia - Fire Emblem Engage) - https://youtu.be/4A2bHJST0aY?feature=shared&t=3511
Kayli Mills (Rosa - Pokémon Masters EX) https://youtu.be/Z-AOyT1kr64?feature=shared
Ultimately, you should decide how to voice each character, but these references can give you a good idea of where to start! Remember: Make sure you have two takes per line going in order from top to bottom. The context for each line will be shown below to help you with your audition.
Line A Context: Kaname is playing the 90's dating sim Nights of Bittersweet Memories. During this end scene, his character is on a date with Mayumi at a fancy restaurant. Mayumi decides to greet her boyfriend when she finds him daydreaming.
Line B Context: Mayumi and her boyfriend look towards the city as the end of their date draws near. She reminisces about their time together before reaffirming her love.
Line C Context: A bug in Nights of Bittersweet Memories' code causes the game to crash and reset during Mayumi's end scene. Mayumi is conscious of the multiple attempts to watch the scene over. She's saddened as the world prevents her from being with Kaname.

A. (Lively) What are you daydreaming about, dummy? The fun’s over here. *giggles* C’mon, relax! Everything’s going to be fine. Let this night be ours.
B. (Heartfelt) You kept me safe by putting your own life on the line. It meant a lot to me. (Crying) Words can't describe how thankful I am to be with you. *sniffles* I love you.
C. (Upset, in tears) I’m sick of it. I’m tired of having to go back to square one, time after time. (Desperate) I just want to be with him. Why can’t you let me be happy?
Hello there! It was a great audition, and I love the voice you gave for Mayumi. Would you mind also auditioning for Chiharu?
