Chapter 7 Participating in Online Radio Programs

  "My computer is broken and I'm taking it for repair, so I'll upload one chapter first, very sorry."

  Voice actor, is a behind-the-scenes person who adds dialogue and mental activity to characters in animation.

  While seeing animated characters come alive, don't forget their creators behind them.

  A good voice actor can fully bring his emotions into that role, even if it's just his own voice, he must master rich tone modulation changes to achieve the best state.

  Unlike the voice actors in China, Japanese seiyu are more inclined to be "idolized", just like stars who debut, and apart from doing voice acting, they will also participate in various activities.

  Singing, dancing, movies, etc., can all be developed and expanded after becoming a voice actor.

  Let's put that aside for now. What bothers Sosuke is whether this pseudo-Lolita girl can really voice Saber?

  Judging from the name, it might be the same voice actress as before, but after shrinking in size, wouldn't her vocal cords change?

  For example, from maturity to childishness and so on, there are too many uncertain situations, so Sosuke looked at Natsuru with a puzzled gaze.

  However, the other party did not think there was anything wrong with it. After taking over the script of the previous few lines brought by Sosuke, he handed it to Kawasumi Akiko.

  "Is this the script you wrote? Well done, young man! The game you created will keep me busy for a long time."

  "Really? Voice actors don't get paid lowly either."

  Do you think being a voice actor is a very easy profession?

  Miss Kawasumi (let's call her that for now) stood up straight, her slightly sunken chest puffed out, and pointed at herself saying

  "The annual income of the working class is about 3 million yen, but even famous voice actors have an annual income of less than 3 million yen. In other words, if they only make a living by doing voice acting work, they may not be able to meet their basic living conditions in society."

  It seems that voice actors are indeed very hardworking, behind the bright and beautiful surface, there is a lot of sweat paid.

  Then Sosuke heard Ms. Kawasumi's analysis again.

  Among the more than 10,000 voice actors in Japan, only about 300 can make a living from voice acting. The remaining 10,000 people cannot live on this job.

  According to the Japanese Actors' Union standards, for a 30-minute anime episode, the voice actor's fee is approximately ￥18,000. This is the voice actor's salary. Since an anime can only air four episodes per month, even if voice actors are extremely lucky and get the main role, their income will be far lower than what they would earn from part-time work.

  An ordinary voice actor's monthly income may be around 3,000 RMB, while a well-known voice actor may earn over 5,000 RMB. Of course, there are also a few who can break through the 10,000 RMB mark.

  Listening to this lady's enthusiastic speech, Sosuke who didn't quite understand the situation could only nod repeatedly.

  But anyway.

  Sōsuke interrupted Kawasumi-san's words.

  "Is it really good to say this in front of the employer?"

  "Mr. Nai gave a pretty good price, but for now it's a secret how much."

  Miss Kawasumi stuck out her tongue and ran towards the recording studio with the script in hand.

  With a helpless expression, Nai Susumu and looked at the nearby staff coming and going, taking Sosuke to the rest area in front.

  "Roughly speaking, it's like what Kawasumi-san said, each industry has its own difficulties and hardships. So let's wait here for a bit until they're ready, the other voice actors haven't arrived yet, so apparently Kawasumi-san will try first."

  "I understand."

  The waiting time passed quickly, and Sosuke was outside listening to Kawasumi-san's voice acting for Saber.

  The sound engineer had prepared all the necessary tools beforehand. After having Kawasumi-san hold the script and stand in front of the microphone, he turned on the recorder.

  Sometimes post-processing is done on voice actor dubbing, of course not to change the tone, but only to remove noise and various discordant sounds.

  Staff wearing headphones were very serious, the entire studio had become a battlefield, everyone was not slack, but with all their might to treat everything around them.

  The high and low voice that comes with the timing, perfectly portrays a knight king who seeks victory and wants to protect others in sync with Saber's movements.

  Although the screenshot is just a processed composite image from the game, it actually matches the character quite well. As for other voice actors, maybe there's no need to worry about them anymore.

  The last word was spoken, the dubbing ended here, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.

  Miss Kawasumi, who had placed the script by her side and taken a deep breath through the transparent glass, switched her work status to normal.

  She bowed her head in gratitude to everyone in the recording studio, and finally came out with a script in hand, nodding her head in satisfaction with a red face.

  "How's it? Not bad, right?"

  "It's indeed great, very suitable, and even better than what I imagined."

  As for Sosuke personally, Kawasumi-san's voice acting and impression of Saber are very similar, it can be said that they are exactly the same.

  Even if the body has become smaller, it can still be done easily.

  On the other hand, Sosuke was very pleased to see the original author and animation script writer, Narasu Takashi, who brought tea with a smile.

  To outsiders, it looks like an elderly senior pouring water for a junior, but in fact, Sosuke doesn't feel any sense of incongruity at all, after all, his mental age is quite old.

  Sitting back on the sofa to rest, Sosuke only took a sip of the tea.

  "So what's the next step? After you start producing the TV anime officially, I'll just need to provide the script, right?"

  "Yes, but now that we're here, I do have a proposal."

  Naruto and Sasuke both cracked a mischievous smile as they looked at each other, then back at the still-working members of the office.

  "The TV commercial has already been sent out, and the PV for 'Fate/stay night' is also complete. However, we need a formal announcement, so I was thinking of having you two do a live broadcast together. A live broadcast with the game's original creator and main voice actor would be great! We've already secured an internet broadcasting channel."

  "This is too messy, and I've never participated in this kind of broadcast."

  "Alright."

  Alas!!!

  I didn't expect pseudo-Lolita to agree so easily! This is outrageous!

  "Alright, I'll have someone prepare it now. We can insert your live broadcast into our gaming radio show after the previous program is over. Just give us three minutes to arrange the topic."

  The sudden decision didn't give Sosuke any time to react and was settled in an instant.

  When he saw Kawasumi-san's interesting expression, Sosuke let out a sigh.

  "Is this really okay? I've never done something like this before."

  "It's okay, just follow my instructions and you'll be fine, live broadcasting is actually a lot of fun."

  "You just want to have some fun, right?"

  "It's not just talent!"

  I didn't expect to guess it correctly.

  However.

  Sōsuke changed his mind a bit.

  Doing radio with Ms. Kawasumi might be unexpectedly good.

  Then try your best.
