I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Chapter 359 Iconic Voice

Tokyo's Branch Studio, Sakura City.

Nana confidently entered the room where the auditions were taking place.

Theo and others immediately took notice of the young girl, even though they already had the perfect candidate to play Kirito, they would not disdain any candidate.

They didn't know if a genius actor would appear suddenly.

"Hello, please state your name and which roles you are auditioning for." Rio said with a calm voice.

"Hello, my name is Ozawa Nana and I'm here to audition for the Kirito and Asuna parts." Nana replied without wavering and in a strong voice.

That's right!

Nana was auditioning for a male part in the anime!

Even though she hadn't landed any job so far in the anime industry, Nana didn't stop her training, and after years of training, she developed a male voice that she was comfortable with.

Theo raised his eyebrows when he heard her statement, although female voice actresses playing male roles was not an unusual occurrence in the industry, it was still a relatively rare scene.

He just needed to analyze the audition so far, and he would remember that no female had applied for the Kirito part other than the girl in front of him.

Theo became a little expectant as he looked at Nana, he still remembered some extremely famous actresses from his past life who became famous as they performed male voices.

As he remembered his past life, Rio gave Nana the instructions that she could study the two scripts in front of her.

Because Nana was auditioning for Kirito and Asuna, she had to read two different scripts. In one she would play the female voice and in the other, she would play the male voice.

Shortly after, Nana gave the sign and started reading with the female voice first as it was the one she was the most confident with.

Theo nodded as he watched her performance, 'She's good, maybe we can arrange a supporting role for her' he thought.

When she finished reading the script, she heaved a sigh of relief, at least she was able to perform without any mistakes.

"You can start reading for the Kirito anytime." Rio instructed.

Nana nodded and took a deep breath and tried to calm her nerves, it would be her first time performing this male voice, so even with all her overflowing confidence, she was still nervous.

As soon as she read the first line in a voice totally different than her normal voice, Theo's eyes shone with excitement.

He adjusted himself in his chair and listened carefully to her voice, he even closed his eyes and had a look of shock on his face as he muttered, "Is this... oh my god!"

Ryoko was highly astonished by his reaction to Nana's performance, as since the audition started Theo maintained his calm voice even when Kimi and Laura performed.

This was the first time Theo showed such a strong reaction to an audition, which made Ryoko pay more attention to Nana's performance, but she was not able to discover what made Theo react.

And she would not be able to.

'This is Naruto's voice!!' Theo exclaimed excitedly in his mind.

'Moreover, it is the same voice as I remember!' He could not believe what he was hearing.

Who would not be able to remember the iconic Naruto's dubbing?

Junko Takeuchi was the name of the actress who played Naruto in his past life, and Theo remembered some videos of her talking in the Naruto voice, and it made him have a long last impression of her iconic skills.

Theo didn't have many hopes to find a voice similar to Juko's, but the impossible was made possible in front of him.

That's why he could not stop his excitement.

He already could imagine the girl in front of him playing the Naruto version of this world!

He found a gem, and he would do everything to have her in his project!

Nana continued her performance and did not notice that one of the people in front of her was looking at her with shining eyes.

She was extremely focused on the performance.

When she finished, Theo made all the questions and he was satisfied with what he heard.

Nana also noticed that the guy in front of her was interested in the male voice she had just performed, she became even more hopeful to get a part in this production when she realized that.

After all the questions ended, Nana excused herself and left the room with a hopeful heart for the future.

She just didn't know yet that the silver-haired man that she had just talked to was planning to make her the star of one of the most successful animes in history.

"Why were so agitated?" Ryoko asked the question she was dying to ask over the past few minutes.

"She had the perfect voice to play Naruto!" Theo exclaimed with a bright smile on his face.

"Really!?" Ryoko asked in surprise.

"Yeah, I will hire her to play Naruto." Theo stated with a happy smile still on his face.

Ryoko was taken by surprise by his confidence in Nana, but she trusted all his decisions, after all, all his decisions so far were the right ones.

She could not help to become excited too at the thought of having the best candidate for their next production.

The auditions continued until nightfall with the number of candidates who applied for it.

At the end of it, Theo and the others were already exhausted.

They had seen more than 150 voice actors' performances in the end, so it was understandable their tiredness.

"Ahh, I'm so tired!" Ryoko exclaimed when the last candidate left the room.

"Me too, but at least it is over." Theo laughed.

They agreed with him and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Boss, we are already finished here. Do you have any instructions?" Rio asked with her usual professional voice.

"No, you and the rest have the rest of the weekend off. Ryoko and I will decide which ones will get the parts and pass the list to you next week." Theo said with a calm voice.

"Okay, boss." Rio nodded in understanding.

The three of them talked for a few more minutes before the call was disconnected.

Theo stood up from his chair and stretched his limbs, staying seated for hours in the same position was tough even for him.

"Ryoko, you have the weekend off too. Working every day nonstop is not good for your health even if you like your work." Theo commented as they exited the conference room.

Ryoko, who was already planning to spend the rest of the weekend working from home, was taken by surprise by his remark.

She reflected a little and was stunned when she realized that she did not have a day off since she started working in the Tokyo Studio.

'It is indeed a little over the top.' She thought.

When Theo saw her agreeing expression, he said, "We will be throwing a holiday party in the amusement park tomorrow for the children of the orphanage. If you want to come, you are more than welcome." He smiled.

Ryoko had her eyes shining when she heard about a party in an amusement park, "It sounds fun. I'll be there." She smiled.
