Chapter 4

Summer Tea 2.1

According to Zhao Ge, recording for the video game would take about one week based on the condition of Bei Yan’s voice.  Unfortunately, Bei Yan came to studio in the evenings for the following few days and missed Xia Liang’s work hours.

On Sat.u.r.day, Xia Liang rested listlessly on top of her desk at work, regretting that she had missed her idol.

“Xiao Xia.”  Somebody patted her shoulder from behind.  It was the voice of Zhao Ge’s a.s.sistant, San Qi.  “Come.  Come over.  Zhao Ge needs some help.”

Xia Liang followed San Qi over and saw Zhao Ge sitting on a chair.  He looked at her.  “Girl, San Qi said you know a bit about dubbing?”

Xia Liang took a look at San Qi and waved her hand.  “Uh, as an amateur, just an amateur.  Just a little internet voice acting.  It’s not that professional.”                                                                                                           Zhao Ge felt his chin.  “Not bad, not bad.  Your timbre is ok.  We need a young girl’s voice.  Why don’t you take the part?”

“Ah? Ah? !”  Xia Liang was at a loss.

Zhao Ge turned on the printer and a sheet of A4 paper was printed out from the printer shortly.  Zhao Ge picked up the paper and pa.s.sed it to Xia Liang.  “Not many lines.  There’s only a couple of sentences.  The voice actress had missed this character since she’s voicing multiple roles when we were recording.  Now she’s on vacation overseas.  We need somebody to take this role.  This character is the lead actor’s younger sister, about 7 or 8 years old.  She appears just once in a recollection scene.  That’s the script of the scene.  It’s a game so there’s no need to lip sync.  We can start recording after you get familiar with the lines.”

Xia Liang: “……”

Xia Liang was a little bit anxious and a little bit happy.  Though there were only a few lines, this was the first time that she had a chance to record in a studio!  She was a bit excited when she thought about this.

But, after she looked over the lines------ah, a little loli, she wanted to cry.  She was always a.s.signed as the loli when she did voice acting on the internet.  Now she was in the recording studio, why was she still voicing a loli…...Ah never mind, never mind.  Let it be a loli then; an opportunity was better than no opportunity at all.

“Uhm, almost ready.“  Xia Liang told Zhao Ge. Then she went to the studio and sat down under Zhao Ge’s guidance.  She followed Zhao Ge’s instructions came through earphones and started recording.

“Ge Ge. Ge Ge[1].  The weather is so nice today.  Let’s go to the countryside, okay?”

“Ge Ge is the best~” “Ge Ge.  Come here! Look, look, what a beautiful b.u.t.terfly!” “Wow, Ge Ge is awesome!”
