[Voice] ☆ fourth wish ☆ acting

((Purple is Bernkastel, and pink is Lambdadelta.))

[ When the recording picks up Bernkastel’s voice, she sounds somewhat annoyed — though there’s a faint weariness beneath her words. ]


… How exhausting. We must have spent a hundred takes just on those couple of lines. What a waste of a day.

[ If Lambdadelta’s exhausted, her attitude doesn't show it. Her voice’s perky and full of energy.]

Ah, some of those takes were hilarious! They should go on a blooper reel. I’d totally buy it if they put that out.

[ Bernkastel makes a small sound, half-laugh, half-scoff. ]

Sure, yeah. Especially that guy’s, right...? They could be a blockbuster all on their own, titled “It’s All Useless.”

That’s right, that’s right! Smash hit! Did you know he’s coming down with ulcers from all that screaming and wailing?

… Seriously? [ Bernkastel sighs. ] There’s no hope for him. [ a slight rustling of cloth and some audio distortion, as if the microphone shifted a bit in place. ] Well, he knew what he was signing up for. I’m not going to tone it down and get out of character just to make things easier for him.

Maybe he’s method acting! Suffering just like his character!

Such dedication. It’s almost praiseworthy. … Though, that new girl could take a few pages out of his book, you know? Even if she’s not technically a main character, her role isn’t one that should be overshadowed.

Which new girl? They keep introducing new characters so fast I can barely keep up. Seriously, what’s with that? Why do they need such a complicated cast?

My “piece.” For a convoluted story like this one, it only makes sense that there’d be a lot of people, right...? Or, maybe Reina-san [ That mysterious writer who only goes by the pseudonym “07”! ] just wrote in someone as outrageous as her to keep the viewers glued to the screen, now that the protagonist’s main rival is gone.

The character really does have a lot going for her in that department. As for the actor, she’s not bad for a newbie, either. I’ll give her that. But she could stand to ham it up a little more, like that blonde. And it’s pretty obvious she worships you as her senior. Ahh, I want such a devoted junior!

[ Bernkastel giggles. ]

It’s a little annoying at times... but, I don’t mind it as long as it improves her acting. You’ll find one too someday, I’m sure. Why don’t you pick one of those fans who keep writing you weekly emails...?


Didn’t you know, they’re totally different skillsets! Being a junior’s not the same as being a fan. It’s really hard to find someone really promising. But of course, I do have high standards for that. Even that blonde’s a bit of a letdown, though I did have hopes for her.

… Speaking of her, I hope she’s not slacking off. The way the story’s developing, it looks like her character’s going to make a dramatic comeback soon or something. Ah, it’s really bothersome how we’re not allowed to see the entire script at once...

Don’t you know? She’s always goofing off! If she’d take her job more seriously, she’d do waaaaaay better. She has such promise, too, it’s so disappointing. But if her character does make a comeback, I’m sure it’ll be an ace performance!

Hmm, we’ll see. We’re still not near the end, so it’s possible. [ A pause, during which the recording picks up the sound of pages being flipped. ] … I won’t hold my breath, since I’ll need it for this confrontational scene coming up...

[ After a few moments, she laughs. ]

Oh, how lucky. It seems it won’t be difficult at all.
[ Paper rustles. ] Here, take a look at this.

[ Lambdadelta laughs as well. ]

Ahaha, your poor junior, having such mean words said to her by her adored senior! Well, she’ll just have to take it, after all, it’s just the parts we’re playing. Isn’t that right, duckies? Did you enjoy the show? Well, did you?

Huh? What are you talking about, all of a sudden...?

Oh, look, we’ve had another accidental broadcast.

[ There’s several moments of silence before Bernkastel exhales in a sharp huff. ]

… Not again. Why did you sign us up for it anyway? A shady site like that —

[ The recording cuts off there. ]

[ To say he was surprised would be an understatement...he definitely recognized the two voices here but...was that really them? They sounded bit more...normal than usual...

Then again, the past few posts on the community have been a little weird...but they all shared one thing in common. They talked about...acting.

Huh. Must be a new virus. Yet another one he's escaped.
]

The show does sound pretty interesting, I'll give you guys that much.

[ "Bernkastel," at least, even looks normal when she appears on her iPhone's camera, wearing casual hang-out clothes instead of that gothic lolita getup. She tilts her head when she sees Yuri... but there's no surprise or curiosity in her voice, as there would be if she didn't recognize him. ]

Some people find it hard to follow. [ she says it like a throw-away observation, a fact, without scorn or judgment. ] Are you going to start watching too? Even now, it's not too late to catch up.
callmeaniki: (never gonna let you down)

[personal profile] callmeaniki 2012-09-23 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, hey. [ wasn't expecting to see you doing a post, if anything. ] Recording's done? I'm done with mine too. Wanna go grab a bite?
pawful: (where you are)

[personal profile] pawful 2012-09-23 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ she gives him a small wave in greeting. ]

Where were you thinking of going...?

[ though, at this point, she doesn't think she even cares. It's been a long day — and even if the witches of this series can apparently subsist on cookies and tea, she can't. ]
callmeaniki: (end of story)

[personal profile] callmeaniki 2012-09-23 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ sigh, he never thought acting as himself could be so tiring... it's probably the fault of the series' writer... why did he have to spin things up so much... ]

[ but anyway since they're not exactly big-time actors it's not all the riches and stuff for them... ]

Why don't you choose something you like? I'm fine either way.
second_star: (Cross my arms.)

[personal profile] second_star 2012-09-23 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. Maybe. I don't know how good I am with confusing stories, but it's worth a shot. [ Not that he could watch it, anyway. Looked like she wasn't surprised by him either. But she definitely wasn't the witch he was used to talking to. Definitely a virus. ]

Do you like the story yourself?
pawful: (with a static approach)

[personal profile] pawful 2012-09-23 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
It'd be better if we picked somewhere we'd all like, right? [ she nudges "Lambdadelta." ] Hey, where do you want to go?
pawful: (as a coward with claws)

[personal profile] pawful 2012-09-23 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ she laughs. ]

We're in the middle of the sixth story arc, with [ INSERT NUMBER HERE ] episodes already filmed and broadcast. Would you have stayed for so long if you didn't like it...?
didiscareyouyet: (I understood everything)

[personal profile] didiscareyouyet 2012-09-23 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
Being new is a really hard. [He just broke into acting too.] I wonder if everybody on my set is like this.
callmeaniki: (ehh...)

oh yeah, let's just assume lambda's always pretty "meh" about her not!elder bro

[personal profile] callmeaniki 2012-09-23 10:11 am (UTC)(link)
How does the cafe down the street from our houses sound then? I don't really feel like travelling too far today either.
pawful: (they help you slash and burn)

works for me! also tagging order: bern > lambda > kyousuke?

[personal profile] pawful 2012-09-23 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
That's fine. If you don't want to drive, I'm sure I could convince someone here to pick us all up.
pawful: (producing excuses)

[personal profile] pawful 2012-09-23 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ alas, poor newbies. ]

They probably are. [ so blunt... ] But if you're new, shouldn't you try even harder to establish yourself...?
second_star: (Heh.)

[ video ]

[personal profile] second_star 2012-09-23 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, I would have quit. But I'm not a good actor either way.
second_star: (Talk about pressure.)

[ video ]

[personal profile] second_star 2012-09-23 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
And what about your character? What do you think of her?
pawful: (they help you slash and burn)

[ video ]

[personal profile] pawful 2012-09-23 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
No? Aren't you playing one of the main protagonists in your series?
second_star: (No big deal.)

[personal profile] second_star 2012-09-23 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...Okay. He definitely wasn't affected by the virus....but, maybe now would not be a good time to really try and argue with this. This was going to be temporary anyway. Play along, see where it goes. ]

I got lucky that he's a lot like me anyway. He's a fairly normal guy. I could never play a witch though.
pawful: (with a static approach)

[personal profile] pawful 2012-09-23 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably not. At least, the ones in this story don't seem to be your type. They're not easy-going characters.
second_star: (I wonder if that's true.)

[ video ]

[personal profile] second_star 2012-09-23 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Though I guess I wouldn't mind trying my hand at an evil character sometime. Don't really know where the witches fall on that scale.
second_star: (Beddy bye time.)

[personal profile] second_star 2012-09-23 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you actually get eat the candy she throws out? That'd be fun enough.
