The next day, Kato Yusuke did not call so many people, but just brought Megumi to the recording studio to continue selecting voice actors.

In fact, he originally planned to come alone, but Hui offered to accompany him, so that was it.

If everyone came here on the first day because they wanted to see the voice actors, then after yesterday, the freshness in their hearts had long been wiped out by the repetitive work.

At this point, Kato Yusuke admired Megumi's temperament of being able to sit still.

In fact, if it was for the sake of ease and trouble, he could have left the remaining voice actor candidates to "Cube", but it was a pity that he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

Either don't do some things or do your best.

Especially since this studio is also related to the future of the girls, he cannot condone his laziness in the process and hopes to create a good life for everyone.

Such an idea may be one-sided and materialistic, but money is the basis of all romanticism. If he can't even give bread to those important people, what qualifications does he have to talk about love?

Influenced by his past life experiences, Kato Yusuke's attitude in this regard is quite stubborn.

He is fine by himself, but now so many people have entrusted their lives to him, he must shoulder the responsibility for this.

The audition proceeds in an orderly manner.

…

Kato Yusuke listened carefully to the dubbing, and from time to time made some requests to the voice actors, or briefly explained the character's personality.

Even though the person he was dubbing today was not the main character, he still did it meticulously. This was not only a responsibility for his own work, but also a respect for the voice actors who came to audition.

It’s lunch break.

He and Megumi found a Japanese restaurant downstairs at "Cube Company" for dinner.

Seeing Hui gently massaging his neck, he tried to persuade him to go back, but the girl just shook her head, smiled tenderly at him, and said, "I'll stay with you."

So Kato Yusuke didn't say anything more.

After the meal, the two returned to "Cube Company" together.

He bought two cans of coffee from the vending machine in the corridor. On the way, he saw many voice actors gnawing bread and reading scripts. It seemed that they had just finished lunch.

The profession of voice actor may seem glamorous, but in fact, the living environment is quite abnormal.

Don't look at those well-known voice actors who frequently hold book signings and concerts, and live like idols, but that's really just an exception.

This industry is somewhat similar to live streaming.

It is always the small group of people at the top who are really popular. Most people can barely make ends meet, and some people can't even afford to eat.

Especially those who are new to the industry often rely on working multiple jobs to pursue their dreams.

If there are no outstanding works to increase their popularity, many people will have difficulty getting ahead throughout their lives, and will end up in despair when their enthusiasm is exhausted.

"It's not easy..."

Kato Yusuke sighed while returning to the control room.

Hearing his casual words, Hui looked up from her phone.

"Huh? Yusuke, what are you talking about?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just think the voice actors outside are quite good at it. Here, here's your coffee."

"Yeah, thanks. Yusuke, why did you say that suddenly?"

"Is this..."

Yusuke Kato pulled the tab of the can, drank a few sips of coffee, and briefly talked about the living conditions of voice actors.

Hui listened patiently and nodded in understanding, "So that's it... Well, that's really hard work."

"Right? In fact, there are many ways to make money nowadays, such as virtual anchors or YouTubers. There is no need to hang yourself from a tree."

The sound monitor who entered the room happened to hear what he said and smiled and agreed.

"Brother Kato is right. My daughter is a YouTuber, and the advertising income on it is surprisingly large. She recently used the money to buy a new guitar, and she is very happy~"

""Mr. Goto.""

Kato Yusuke and Megumi greeted each other, and the other party greeted him back politely.

"Thank you for your hard work~ You two came back very early. Have you had lunch already?"

"Yes, we have already eaten." Hui nodded slightly and asked, "What about you, Mr. Goto?"

"Haha, thank you for your concern. I ate the lunch that my wife helped prepare." The sound supervisor said happily and sat down at his own table.

"Um~~ Mr. Goto already has a daughter? What a surprise, you look very young."

"Eh~ Is that so? Thank you Kato-san for the compliment. Don't look at me like this, but I'm actually the father of two daughters, right?"

"Hey~~I see. By the way, is Mr. Goto's daughter a YouTuber? It sounds awesome."

"Yeah~ My eldest daughter is a music YouTuber and also plays in a band."

Goto nodded proudly and explained:

"Having said that, she was actually just uploading guitar cover works on the website out of interest at first. When the number of people watching gradually increased, we opened an advertisement for her."

"Wow~ We are indeed a family. Is Mr. Goto's daughter also playing in a band because of your influence?"

"Ahaha, have you noticed it? Yes, yes, my eldest daughter has indeed inherited my musical talent.

By the way, the guitar she used in the beginning was also the one I used when I played in a band, right?"

"……Right?"

Kato Yusuke and Megumi looked at each other and realized at the same time that this sound supervisor was definitely a daughter slave.

"Then, just like Brother Kato said. The current environment in the voice actor industry is indeed not very good. There are also some people who have switched careers to become YouTubers or other professions, but..."

Goto changed his words and said with a smile:

"There are actually many people who are willing to stay for their dreams, and there are many new people entering the industry every year. The so-called voice actors and music are the things that can bring happiness to people."

‘…Another romantic who is willing to die for his dreams and die on the high platform of his ideals.’ Yusuke Kato thought indifferently without making any comments.

The three of them chatted for a while, and the others returned to work one after another and continued to work.

After taking a break at noon, everyone became energetic again.

It took more than an hour to finalize all the voice actors for the supporting roles, and the audition session officially came to an end.

The voice actors who came for the interview left "Cube Company" one after another, and then they went back to wait for notification.

Of course, those who were not chosen need not mention anything more.

Even the selected voice actors will have to wait until "Cube" determines the necessary matters before notifying their office and conveying the follow-up work arrangements.

The voice actors have left, but Yusuke Kato cannot leave yet.

His work is far from over.

Character dubbing is only a part of the game. There are also theme songs, BGM, and sound effects that need to be confirmed.

What we will discuss next is this aspect.

Everyone decided to rest for ten minutes before starting to work.

During this period, Hui suddenly asked about his criteria for selecting voice actors.

It is really curious to say that some voice actors are obviously very good and their voices are very recognizable, but he refuses without mercy, even when facing those well-known voice actors.

Kato Yusuke thought for a moment and then gave an answer.

"Actually, there's nothing special about this. What I mainly value is whether the voice actor can capture the characteristics of the character."

"Characteristics of the character...?"

"For example, what is your impression of the character Haruhara Hinata?"

Hui tilted his head slightly and said with some uncertainty:

"Well... I remember that he is the protagonist's best friend. My impression of him is that he is a bit stupid at times, but very reliable at critical times, right?"
