Danganronpa: Lock•Down
Caiastice for Maeko Takahashi
Maeko is a very blunt and forwards individual, who hates being in the spotlight. She was raised with standards of becoming a star but found herself pursuing what lay beyond the action instead. Being obsessed with celebrities and the culture that surrounds them, she finds it very hard to adapt to suddenly becoming one, and somewhat resents her Ultimate talent.
Her voice should be medium in pitch, able to be both very awkward and quiet as well as loud and demanding as she adapts to her surroundings.
By popular demand, the canon voice that she is most similar to is Komaru Naegi.
(Peppy) Oh, I guess I should introduce myself. I'm a student at this high school, for some reason or another. The headlines call me the Ultimate Journalist: Maeko Takahashi.
(Shocked) Kill... to escape? You can't expect us to just massacre each other!
(Pushy) It can't be true!
Also, I realize that Maeko resents her talent. In my head I see her resenting it, but enjoying the freedom she gets from it. She can write whatever she wants, with no one stopping her. And it's her own choice. I think that's the one thing she likes about it. (sorry to assume, I'm not saying it's bad if that isn't true, but this is just my own rambling)
Yeah, you understand her character down to a T! The whole aspect of journalistic freedom vs being "locked down" is exactly what I'm going for with her character.
Thanks! After I reviewed by audition I realized that I was actually doing it wrong XD. I know you already casted someone else for the role, but I still completely support this project and I'd like if I could help out with it in some way. I doubt my voice fits any of the character, so it doesn't have to be voice work
If you'd like you could join the Discord? We're actually going through the process of redesigning Maeko right now and your small analysis of her character actually gave me a huge breakthrough in her design
