Ninki Seiyuu: How to Make a Pop Voice Actress


  • Language: English, Chinese

Production Bloom, a mid-sized voice acting agency, is chronically short on staff. To help out, Keito Nagakura, a family friend of the manager, is asked to work part-time, collecting scripts from the various studios and bringing them back to Bloom's office.
But when his mother is hospitalized over her slipped disc (yet again) and has to take time off to undergo surgery, it's up to Keito and his younger sister Konatsu to fill in for her. Her occupation? Caretaker of Maikaze Dorm, a prestigious all-girls dormitory for the up-and-coming voice actresses and models who attend Seikadai Academy.

One guy in a dorm filled with drop-dead gorgeous women? What could possibly go wrong?

As Keito gets to know the lovely floormates, he finds himself mentor to a voice actress who's struggling to develop her career, the idol of his dreams, and... his little sister?

How are actors cast for roles? What goes on inside the recording booth? And what are the secrets to succeeding as a voice actress?

Step into the recording booth and find out what the fascinating industry of voice acting is all about!

+1 points for this title. The heroines can actually differentiate between a rom-com accident and a deliberate peeping perv.

 

I'm really tired of protagonists getting their reputation permanently trashed as if what was an accident was actually intentional. It's really refreshing to see the heroine(s) response match the actual situation. Of course I still expect the protagonist to get slapped in the face in the heat of the moment, or some other such appropriate response, but once everything settles down, I really appreciate the heroine(s) recognizing the difference between accident and intent.

According to vndb.org, this title has "System Time Events". If I understand that correctly, that means the game will do something out of the ordinary on specific dates and/or times based on your computer's clock. Assuming it isn't a mis-tagging and the VN has no such thing, I'm having difficulty finding a list of what times/dates trigger these events.

 

I don't want to know the contents of events them selves, just what dates and times trigger them. Does anybody know when they are?

According to vndb's description, it was an event that will triggered when you start the game on specific IRL time/date, so if what you mean by event was an in-game story events, it has nothing to do with it.

Quote

When you start the game on a specific calendar date (the date set on your device), the game celebrates the real life or fictional celebrations by playing a short mini event.

 

I assume it was something like Majikoi's game-close scene that only played when you close the game.

I assumed the same as well, either start up or shutdown and nothing actually in game. My problem is I still don't know WHEN these events are suppose to trigger. I don't want to know what they are just what days to either wait for, or muck with my computers calendar to artificially jump it ahead.

 

As far as avoiding spoilers, obviously days like Christmas eve or valentines day (assuming those are some of the days in question) are going to be pretty obvious what they are but I don't want to know what the rest are.

Here's a silly thought. As this is a story about people learning how to be voice actors, I wonder if the actual voice actors, the real people providing the voices, not the characters in the story, had difficulty deliberately flubbing their lines to represent amatures just learning after all the time they spent learning not to flub their lines?

    • "The human heart is but a vessel for pain."

      That's what someone once whispered―a voice laced with loneliness, whispering directly into the soul. It's an indescribable sadness, a love just beginning to bloom. It becomes an invisible pain that pierces the heart. And that's what makes up life: a cyclical series of highs and lows.

      Tachibana Sai was born without the ability to feel pain in his heart. He spends his days eliminating any seeds of malice that sneak up on his sister, the one person he treasures, without drawing attention to himself.

      Sick of the never-ending monotony he lives through, he chances upon a meeting with Benio Matsuri, a young girl whose aloof demeanor resembles that of a beautifully crafted doll.

      For the first time in his life, he encounters a heart-piercing sensation―that of falling in love.

      On the edge between day and night, in a twilight world where the dead and living mingle, stands an apartment building called Maison sans Nom, which is home to a group of boys and girls.

      A ruthless boy who knows no pain in his heart.
      A lonely girl without any friends.
      A friendly girl who struggles to make connections.
      A prickly, ambitious girl who is keen to be of help.
      A boy who loves his own cute self above anything else.
      A mess of a woman who tries to solve everything through brute force.
      And a boy with a tender heart who knows no pain in his body.

      This ill-assorted group of residents, hands stained with blood from battling the supernatural Maledicts, shall encounter the hearts they never knew and begin nurturing their souls.

      The human heart is but a vessel for pain.

      To protect this pain akin to love... To gently break the world apart, piece by piece... Even if it means abandoning humanity. That's why the heart is but a vessel for pain.

      For life blazes brilliantly, while the heart goes around in an endless cycle.
    • Shonan Saika Academy, a high-achieving all-girls school in Kanagawa Prefecture.

      One day, Marin Tachibana, along with her best friends Mashiro Saotome and Kiyoka Jinguji, experiences a special day.

      It begins with meeting an unusual new transfer student, Shizuku Kujyo.

      A beautiful girl with a calm and dignified demeanor.

      Meeting her feels like déjà vu...

      While showing her around the school, they stop by an observation deck, where Marin finds a four-leaf clover.

      There is a tradition at this school:

      If you press a four-leaf clover found on the observation deck into your student notebook, your wish will come true.

      (I want to get closer to her. To spend more time with her...)

      With this wish, Marin gives Shizuku the "coincidental" four-leaf clover she found.

      This act becomes a turning point, bringing Marin and Shizuku closer together with the help of Mashiro and Kiyoka. However...

      "Please, stop worrying about me. I don't want to just be protected..."

      "Shizuku, we're friends, right?"

      A storm threatens to tear them apart.

      It is deeply tied to a "secret" Shizuku is hiding and a "trauma" from Marin's past.

      The story follows the growth, mutual support, and cherished memories of the four girls.

      Will Marin and the others find their personal "clover" (happiness)?
    • In this game, you play as Fujita Hiroyuki, a high-school student who seems to have more interest in romance than in his studies. In his school there are several pretty girls, and his goal is to be nice to one of them, to make the right decisions when talking to her, and ultimately to win her heart.
       
      Remake of the original PC version featuring a completely revised script, with some of the heroines having completely different stories as a result, full voice acting for all characters except the protagonist, new art, and mini-games.
    • In a future over one hundred years hence...

      All the people in the world have awakened to unique abilities called 'Dunamis'. As these special powers become rooted in people's everyday lives, their value system changes, and those who lack powers are the ones who are treated as strange. With the passing of the ages, the environment has changed completely, while society has greatly regressed. The overall population of mankind has diminished as well, and most of the world is made up of wastelands and greenery dotted with the weathered ruins of the world before.

      The City of Raillore.

      With brickwork buildings like those of the Middle Ages, developed over land graced with lush greenery and rivers. With the concept of nations gone from the world, Raillore exists as something of a self-sufficient commune. The Order of Security and Regulatory Knights - AKA the Regulatory Corps - serves as a government organization in charge of handling crime prevention and other tasks that require force of arms.

      But things begin to change as odd incidents take place, one after another...

      Those possessing abilities different from those of Dunamis begin to appear. The people fear this power and the phenomena it causes, and those capable of it are designated as ‘Errors’. The sudden appearance of these Errors is regarded as a disease, and the handling of Errors is placed under the jurisdiction of the Regulatory Corps. As people tremble in fear of the vicissitudes of the changing times, there are those who try to open a way to the future with their own strength...
       
    • Uchihama Academy has seen an increase in enrollment in recent years and as a result, a new school building will be constructed. The story takes place during the final school festival in the old school. All the club leaders decide to give it their all to make this the best school festival. Sou is a member of the notorious astronomy club, which basically solves the various issues in the student council's place.

      On one day, he stays in the school late at evening because he got slightly injured by the judo club and is healing his wounds in the infirmary. Suddenly, the building shakes. Shocked, he runs up the stairs to where the shaking seems to have centered, and there he encounters a mysterious naked girl, who at first appears to know him. On the next day this girl, Yui, seeks out the astronomy club, expressing her desire to join.
