Nijisanji opens \u201cacting-focus\u201d VTuber auditions as agency looks to innovate NijisanjiNijisanji has opened its latest auditions for Nijisanji EN, but they aren\u2019t as many had expected with the VTuber agency specifically looking for \u201cacting-focus VTubers,\u201d suggesting a shift from traditional streaming to something more unique. It\u2019s not unheard of by any means for a VTuber to get into character. Some of the biggest names in the industry do just that with the likes of La+ Darkness, Pekora, and Debidebi Debiru all being good examples. However, voice acting and playing a character have always been secondary to entertainment. For most VTubers, this means dropping the act soon after their debut and focusing on delivering content. However, newly opened auditions suggest the next Nijisanji members could be far more character-driven with AnyColor going as far as to hire dedicated voice actors. Nijisanji EN wants talented voice actors for its next wave Sharing the application form on Twitter, Nijisanji EN Official posted: \u201cNIJISANJI EN Acting-focus VTuber Audition. Please check the application form for more details. Audition period Sunday, December 10th 2023 at 19:00 PST.\u201d However, the application form attached wasn\u2019t the Nijisanji standard instead putting a huge emphasis on \u201cacting focus,\u201d effectively pushing for voice actors to audition. While most VTuber auditions are left open to the individual, this one is much more specific in what is required: \u201cPlease pick a character that suits you best from the options below, and creating a story for the character. and submit a video presenting the story in character.\u201d The four available stories to pick from are: \u201cYou are a regular office worker by day, and an idol by night. Can you hide your secret identity while trying to live a double life?\u201d – \u201cYou are a traveler researching a planet\u2019s ecosystem. Play out a scene in which you go scouting in a new location.\u201d – \u201cYou\u2019re a gatekeeper of hell who acquired a cursed weapon. You are eroded by the weapon, and you begin to lose your humanity. Portray the gatekeeper\u2019s story.\u201d – \u201cYou are a martial artist who loves proving your strength in fighting rings. Recently, it was discovered that aliens are real and with new space travel technology, you start your journey across the universe looking for strong opponents to challenge.\u201d – The application explicitly states \u201coriginal character ideas created by candidates other than the above options will not be considered,\u201d so applicants will want to stick to the four provided character descriptions. This idea was largely well received by the community with many praising it for being original and interesting. Given Nijisanji\u2019s usual gap between auditions and debuts, fans can expect these new talents to start their VTubing activities in 2-4 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
