I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

Uehara Toru thought about it. As for impulse, he had only been angry at those kids, but obviously that didn't count. As for regret, he admitted that if he lost a friend like Reina or Nana, it would be hard to accept. But what about "need"... He seemed to have never had such a strong sense of need.

Perhaps it was because there were more people around him now and his life was no longer lonely, he did not feel particularly dependent on anyone.

Thinking of this, he continued to ask: "How do you distinguish between a friend and someone you like? After all, losing a friend would be a pity, right?"

Matsuoka nodded in agreement after hearing this: "Indeed, sometimes I still feel that friends are more important, such as Nobunaga and you, Natsuki."

Ishikawa Kaito was too lazy to talk anymore.

So it’s just not me.

Hanae Natsuki hesitated for a moment: "Emmmm..."

"How should I put it? I'm married and have a child, so my stance is definitely different from yours."

"If you really want to draw a line, it's the degree of natural relaxation."

"What do you mean?"

"Terhu, for example, when you meet this person, you don't have to think about what to say deliberately. The two of you can chat naturally, and you can have a pretty happy chat."

Sakura...

Toru Uehara thought of this guy in an instant.

That’s not right, but I don’t like her either?

"..."

"Thor, you look embarrassed."

Toru Uehara looked a little helpless.

"Well, I think I fit one of the examples you just gave me, but when you add them all up, there's no one who fits the bill completely."

Ishikawa Kaito: "You mean, you have four close female friends who each meet one of these criteria?"

Uehara Toru: "...If you insist on understanding it this way, that's fine."

Except for children, that's true of everyone.

He has a tacit understanding with Nana Toyama and Reina Ueda and gets along well with them, but when facing them, he always can't help but be reserved, or he is thinking about what to say next.

When I'm with Sakura I can completely let go of my brain and talk about anything, feeling relaxed and at ease.

As for Sumire and Xiaoshui...

Xiaoshui was half his teacher and half his friend, and they were quite polite to each other now. After all, he still remembered the favor.

Jin is kind to me, but she is a simple person and doesn't have that kind of feeling.

Hanae Natsuki sighed: "Tetsu, forgive me for being blunt, but we normal people can't get so many female friends. No one else can have good relationships with so many women at the same time except you."

Uehara Toru: “…After all, this is what it means to be handsome.”

For a moment, the whole audience was silent.

Ishikawa Kaito: "I just want to ask if we should beat him up?"

Matsuoka just sighed softly: "Nine If only I were half as handsome as you, it would be fine." Three≈56@←Four〈

"Sincerely, Senior..."

The topic finally came to an end with a method proposed by Hanae Natsuki.

"Tetsu, if you really can't tell, there's a simple way to judge," Hanae Natsuki smiled and patted his shoulder, "that's the degree of physical contact. Imagine if there is some physical contact between two people, and you don't hate it, but also have a certain desire for it, and this relationship is acceptable to both parties, then it is very likely that you like it."

Uehara Toru nodded: "I'm grateful for your advice."

On the way home, he kept this new knowledge in his mind, but he was not in a hurry to verify or explore it. He decided to put this complicated problem aside for the time being and focus on the work at hand.

After all, if Kaito Ishikawa's previous howling hadn't brought up these topics, he wouldn't have been thinking about emotional issues at this time.

"Anyway," Uehara Toru said to himself, "First, do the work at hand well, and also prepare well for the upcoming audition."

With this clear-headed decision, he calmed himself down, returned home, and dove headfirst into the audition materials.

-

When he returned home, he saw Nina curled up on the sofa and sleeping soundly. Uehara Toru sighed softly, went upstairs quietly to get a quilt, and carefully covered her with it.

He stood there, looking at Renai's peaceful sleeping face, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently touched her cheek. The warm and soft touch made him smile, and he said to himself: "It seems that I am not that perverted yet."

Just as he took his hand back, Renai slowly opened her eyes, her big blue eyes a little hazy: "You're back?"

"Yeah, I just got back." Uehara Toru smiled, "Go back to your room and sleep when you wake up."

Renai shook her head, sat up and stretched, patted the spot next to the sofa, and motioned for him to sit down: "Don't rush me upstairs, let's chat for a while."

"Okay." Uehara Toru smiled and sat down, covering himself with the same quilt with her.

"Hehe, Toru is still the warmest." Ninai leaned on his shoulder, her voice full of laughter.

"So, what do you want to talk about? Is everything going well with the band lately?"

"No, the band is going well." Renai blinked. "But you look worried. Have you run into any trouble?"

Uehara Toru was slightly stunned and raised his head slightly: "You can see that?"

Renai smirked, "Of course, I'm the only one who can tell that!"

Uehara Tetsu found it funny, and after a pause, he briefly told Nina what he had talked about with his seniors tonight. After listening, she tilted her head and said in surprise: "Tetsu, you talk as if all the girls around you like you."

"Isn't it?" Uehara Toru raised his eyebrows.

Renai gave him a speechless look: "...Well, it is."

She thought that Toru Uehara would be more restrained now, but she didn't expect that his confidence was still so natural and unconcealed.

"But if you choose to date only one person, won't the others be sad?" Renai continued to ask.

"That's inevitable." Uehara Toru said calmly, "But relationships don't mean that no one can live without the other. Everyone will continue to live and work normally. This isn't a big problem."

"But..." He paused and thought, "I always feel like my feelings are incomplete, and I even lack the ability to like others."

Renai nodded, feeling a headache. "It's so complicated. It's not as simple as we are now."

"It's indeed complicated and a bit troublesome," Toru Uehara admitted.

"Then why are you thinking about this question now?" Rencai asked curiously.

"On the one hand, I think I should give it a try. On the other hand, if the status quo is maintained, it may cause more trouble in the future," Toru Uehara analyzed seriously.

Renai stared at his profile and suddenly a strange thought came to her mind.

This man is destined to be a guy that people both love and hate.

She sighed slightly and silently lit a candle for her future "first girlfriend" in her heart.

Good luck to you, sisters.

At the audition for Your Lie in April.

In the first wave, Toru Uehara ran into Natsuki Hanae, and in addition, there were several familiar faces including Risa Taneda, Rie Takahashi, Ayane Sakura, etc.

He knows that he will be competing with Hanae Natsuki for the main role this time, but he will not whine like Ishikawa Kaito. Instead, he will look forward to the upcoming clash with Hanae Natsuki.

"Honestly, Toru, I'm probably going to lose to you this time." Hanae Natsuki said with a smile, without any frustration in his tone.

"Why?" Uehara Toru raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a little surprised.

"Arima Kousei is a musical genius who plays the piano, and Miyazono Kaoru is a violinist. You can play both instruments, so it can be said that the role of this show is incredibly well-matched with you." Hanae Natsuki spread his hands, "More importantly, your personal experience is somewhat similar to Kousei's."

Uehara Toru chuckled and shook his head: "No, I'm not as delicate and sensitive as him. Besides, you are more delicate than me in controlling your voice."

"Hey, hey, hey, no flattering each other!" Sakura Ayane interrupted at the right time, and walked forward with a complicated expression, "You have to flatter each other at the audition, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if one of you fails?"

At this time, Risa Taneda also came over. Her outfit today seemed simple and rustic, but it still couldn't hide her elegant and refined temperament.

"Hanae-senpai, Uehara-san, long time no see." Taneda Risa smiled slightly, then turned to Uehara Toru, "Uehara-san, the voice training method you taught me last time was really useful! Now I have almost no problems with my voice, thank you so much!"

"You're welcome. I'm glad I could help you." Toru Uehara nodded with a smile, and at the same time turned his gaze to Sakura Ayane beside him, with a meaningful inquiry in his eyes.

Are you practicing seriously?

Sakura Ayane responded with a firm look:

Of course!

Uehara Toru raised an eyebrow.

Then why don't you thank me?

Sakura Ayane glared back immediately:

Huh? Why should I thank you!

The two of them completed a wonderful play within a play just by exchanging eye contact, and Risa Taneda and Rie Takahashi next to them couldn't help laughing.

Natsuki Hanae stood aside and watched the interaction between this pair of funny people, and couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile.

I see. This is the feeling of "each has something in common" that Toru mentioned last night.

Indeed, this wonderful fit between them is not a simple tacit understanding, but a natural chemical reaction.

If these two people are really together... I guess the funny news headlines in the industry will be different every day.

It's time for the audition to officially begin.

First, the male lead’s audition.

Hanae Natsuki was the first to appear on stage, and with the help of the visuals, he showed off his most skilled boyish voice, which was slender and gentle with a hint of fragility.

This kind of emotional control is simply perfect, the voice is very flexible, and the listening experience is excellent. Coupled with Hanae Natsuki's unique acting style, his performance is impeccable, and he can be regarded as the peak strength of the new generation of top voice actors in the industry.

On the contrary, apart from Gin in The Secret World of Hotaru no Mori, where his gentle voice was shown, Toru Uehara does not seem to have a similar interpretation in other works he dubbed.

But he is not the same now as before.

As the scene progresses, his voice seems to merge with Kousei Arima.

The panting when playing the piano, the choking when shedding tears, the delicate whispering, every syllable seems to be uttered by the character himself. There is no need to deliberately emphasize it, the sound itself carries the weight of the story, making people unable to help but immerse themselves in it.

Sakura Ayane, who was sitting in the back, was particularly impressed. As the partner of Toru Uehara in his first major role, she could best appreciate the changes in Toru Uehara over the past few years. This is not just progress, but a qualitative leap.

From the "standard excellence" at the beginning to the natural flow now, his voice is no longer just a pile of acting skills, but is full of his own real emotions.

Takahashi Rie was also shocked. They both felt the surprise and admired him sincerely.

Risa Taneda just smiled slightly, thinking that this was worthy of being the person who taught her how to train her voice. Since accepting his advice on voice training, she went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that she had mild vocal cord nodules.

Fortunately, the problem was not serious yet, and with the doctor's guidance and voice training, he has now almost recovered.

The doctor specifically told her that she needed to pay more attention to rest, drink more warm water, and reduce the burden on her vocal cords. Full recovery is only a matter of time.

For voice actors, vocal cords are the most valuable professional asset and determine the length of their career.

Thinking about how Toru Uehara's advice during this period helped her avoid a possible crisis, Risa Taneda was filled with gratitude.

After Toru Uehara left the stage, several other male voice actors came up to perform, but their performances were only mediocre and could not be compared with Toru Uehara and Hanae Natsuki.

So sometimes it’s not that we don’t give newcomers opportunities, but that they really haven’t reached that level yet.

The audition for the heroine, Kaori Miyazono, is coming.

To Toru Uehara's surprise, it turned out that the person Sakura Ayane was trying out this time was not the heroine Miyazono Kaoru.

I don't know if it's because of deliberate audition that they don't succeed. So far, Ayane Sakura has tried the same works that Toru Uehara has tried, but without exception, all of them have failed.

On the contrary, she was hired for all the jobs she took on her own.

It seems that the company's CP promotion plan has brought bad luck.

Sakura Ayane noticed that Toru Uehara was looking at her. She couldn't help but pull her eyelids, make a face at him, and stick out her tongue.

Toru Uehara: "..."

Zhenjue Liu un: Ba + 珸·Qi Lu Liu @ Bait is a female big ghost.

However, the reason why Sakura Ayane did not choose the heroine this time was not related to fortune as Toru Uehara thought.

It has nothing to do with this, but what does she think of Sawabe Tsubaki as the second female lead?

It just fits her very well.

My favorite childhood sweetheart is right next to me, and I have always wanted to encourage him, but I still have to watch him fall in love with someone else and I can never find the opportunity.
