The organizer's staff said: "There are quite a lot of people participating this time, and they are all selecting voice acting roles for The Empress' Road.

As everyone knows, "The Empress' Journey" is a big IP production with huge investment and excellent production.

The selection of voice actors is very strict, so we have this nationwide audition for voice actors.

Now in S city it is still a preliminary round, and the main consideration is the professional level of the actors.

Is the pronunciation clear? Is there any vibrato in the sentence? Can the flat tongue and curled tongue be distinguished? Is the emotion expressed properly?

These are the most basic dubbing skills, and I believe that everyone who is here has strong professional abilities. "

At this time, someone asked: "Since this is the most basic judgment, how do we judge whether we are qualified for the role dubbing in "The Empress's Road"?

How are the promotions determined? How many people are selected and how many competition systems are there? "

Everyone was talking about it, waiting for the staff to give an answer.

In response to the contestants' questions, the staff member calmly said, "Don't worry, just listen to me and I will explain it to you slowly."

The discussions in the crowd gradually stopped, and everyone turned their attention to the staff.

The organizer waited until everyone was quiet before slowly saying:

"The selection for "The Queen's Road" is divided into three games, which will last for one month, with each game lasting ten days."

As soon as the staff member finished saying this, someone frowned.

A competition lasts for ten days, which is too tight. Can we choose one?

Everyone was skeptical, and Yu Xi did not comment, but just listened quietly to the staff's introduction.

The organizer staff continued: “Everyone may think that the time is too tight compared to other competition systems, but the production time of “The Queen’s Road” is also very tight.

In the preliminary round, 30 male and female voice actors will be selected from each venue, in the mid-term round, 10 male and female voice actors will be selected, and in the final round, five male and five female voice actors will be selected. "

Everyone was shocked. This was different from previous competitions. There was no final champion. Yu Xi also became interested after hearing about this competition system.

As everyone knows, this is the casting for "The Empress of China", so the principle of winning the championship in the competition was abandoned, and the main thing was to see whether the person was suitable for the role.

Seeing the contestants' interest, the organizer's staff smiled and continued:

"The first competition is a blind audition. The organizers have prepared ten film and television works with thirty characters, each with ten people in a group. The sound testers will judge whether the contestants will advance based on their voices, emotions... skills...

Each contestant has only one chance. When the contestant enters the independent and closed audition room, there is a 20-second audition session.

The contestants have two minutes to prepare, and this period tests their instantaneous explosive power.”

As soon as the organizer's staff announced the rules of the competition, the contestants on the scene started discussing.

It tests the voice actor's instantaneous explosiveness, skills, and emotions, and there is only one chance. Even though Yu Xi was confident that she could pass the preliminary round, she felt nervous.

The blind audition not only tests the voice and skills, but more importantly the emotional resonance, which is precisely Yu Xi's shortcoming.

Although her emotional outbursts are compensated by skills, highly professional voice actors can still hear them.

"Dear contestants, please be quiet. The rules of the competition have not yet been explained. Please listen patiently."

After hearing the request from the organizer's staff, the contestants who were discussing below stopped their discussion and refocused their attention on the organizer's staff.

I only heard the staff continue: "For this preliminary round, the organizer has prepared two independent and closed audition rooms.

There are four testers in each audition room. It is up to them to decide whether you can advance to the next round and compete for the 30 male and female dubbing spots."

Someone asked: "Are the 30 quotas for men and women counted separately or mixed together?"

"There are 15 men and 15 women. The queue numbers you received are even numbers for men and odd numbers for women."

Yu Xi thought the number plates were randomly selected, but she didn't expect that they were distributed separately to men and women.

Although there were separate blind auditions for men and women, there were still about two hundred people queuing up on Yu Xi's side. The staff asked everyone to form teams randomly, starting with ten people.

Teams with ten or more people can go to the staff to draw the role that their team will compete in.

The ten-member group including Yu Xi drew the characters of girl voices, who suddenly encountered great changes in their lives, were unwilling to accept their fate, and were at the end of their rope.

This is a very simple role for Yu Xi. She has faced despair more than once and has also been in a desperate situation, so she can empathize with the character.

But although she could empathize, she was unable to fully express her despair and let the audience feel it.

She practices dubbing many times before achieving the effect she wants.

This time there were only two minutes to prepare, and Yu Xi felt nervous, a little worried about her performance later.

They were in the sixth line. The blind audition in front of them was very fast. In less than an hour, it was their team's turn.

Although Yu Xi needs time to prepare for her emotional outbursts, she has many years of experience after all. She can use skills to make up for her emotional deficiencies and will not lose her composure at critical moments.

Their team of ten people entered the audition room one by one. Opposite the audition microphone sat four women in their thirties, all of whom were prestigious seniors in the dubbing circle.

Yu Xi was amazed when he saw several industry leaders who worked as sound testers.

Although the management of the competition venue was in a mess, the lineup of sound testers was huge. The selection of "The Queen's Road" this time was really grand and the standards were high everywhere.

These sound testers all have very typical representative works, and they were all big names in the preliminary rounds. I wonder what the judging criteria will be for the semifinals and finals.

The sound tester was a little surprised to see Yu Xi coming in with his arm in a sling, and asked, "Will this injured arm affect the dubbing performance?"

Yu Xi smiled and replied: "I believe in my professional level."

The sound tester expressed his appreciation for Yu Xi's confident answer.

"Your arm is injured and your movements are inconvenient, which will easily affect your expression of emotions. I don't recommend you to participate in the selection of "The Queen's Road"."

The one who showed disapproval on his face was the sound tester sitting in the middle right position. He had a pointed face, willow-shaped eyebrows, and fiery red lips, and looked a bit harsh and serious.

Yu Xi did not back down because of the sound tester's attitude, but looked directly at him and replied:

“This opportunity to participate in “The Queen’s Road” is rare. As a professional voice actor, it is a pity to miss this kind of opportunity.

Secondly, my professional level is sufficient and I don’t need any additional body language to express my emotions.

Moreover, when watching movies and TV shows, the audience can only immerse themselves in the voice of the voice actor, and cannot see the various expressions of the voice actor. "

"You have a sharp tongue. I hope your next dubbing will match your confidence."

After hearing Yu Xi's answer, the cone-faced sound tester spoke in a stern tone.

Yu Xi replied calmly: "Let's wait and see."

Although she acted strong, she sighed in her heart that she was having a bad year today and there were disputes everywhere.

She was speechless because she didn't have strong emotional outbursts and she didn't know how to make such trouble for herself.

I just hope that these sound testers will be more lenient when they comment on the product.

The only consolation is that in her small team of ten, there are more people engaged in animation dubbing, and she is more confident of advancing to the next round.

"I just resisted my fate of being reduced to dust. God is so unfair that he made me end up with my family broken up and my life blocked everywhere. It was full of thorns and hopeless."

This passage of dialogue describes the girl's struggle against fate after her family was broken up. She offended the local gentry, was framed, and was whipped and tortured by yamen runners during her exile. She felt unwilling to give up and saw no hope.

Because there was only one audition opportunity, the contestants in Yu Xi's group did not perform very well.

Either the emotions are not in control, or the basic skills are not solid, resulting in unclear punctuation and pronunciation.

The only outstanding performance was by contestant No. 57, who expressed the girl’s despair very well.

But at the end, the tone was too hasty, and there was a feeling of being anticlimactic.

Because of his injured arm, Yu Xi couldn't use strong body language to express himself.

The ups and downs of her voice can only be used to depict the girl's despair and confusion after experiencing these hardships, but she is unwilling to accept her fate and her unwillingness in her self-narration.

Since it is impossible to express emotions through body language and voice, it is particularly challenging for the voice actor to have skills.

After listening to the audition, Yu Xi kept her eyes closed, trying to carefully guess the emotions of the girl in desperate situation and thinking about how to express them.

Soon it was Yu Xi's turn to listen to the blind audition, and she instantly entered into the girl's mood of despair and unwillingness.

Under high pressure, Yu Xi clearly felt that his emotional outbursts were much stronger than before.

After she finished dubbing this passage, the four blind testers discussed it and said:

“No. 59’s blind audition was very skillful, with no mistakes in tone or punctuation, and was very professional.

It's just that his emotional outburst is a little weaker, and can't catch up with No. 57's emotional contagion."

The cone-faced blind sound tester said: "Although I was choked by No. 59 just now, in terms of professional attitude, No. 59 is more professional and stronger."

Another sound tester in a light white dress objected:

“Although No. 59 is more professional, she lacks the ability to burst out with emotions, and her development space in the industry is limited.

On the contrary, contestant No. 57 has the ability to express emotional outbursts, and I believe she can go far in the dubbing industry.

As for her lack of professional ability, as long as she practices more, she will be able to make up for the lack of skills. "

The sound tester on the left said: “The casting for “The Queen’s Road” was very tight, and there was no time for her to grow.

And judging from the dubbing of this passage alone, I prefer contestant No. 59.

Her professional attitude and control over the characters' emotions are very accurate.

If we had not been in this industry for more than a decade and had not been dealing with dubbing for a long time, we would not have been able to easily identify the problem of her lack of emotional outbursts.”

"Since everyone disagrees on whether to select No. 59 or No. 57, let the minority obey the majority and vote by raising hands."

The sound tester who said this was sitting on the far right. He was the first to raise his hand and said, "I agree that No. 59 should be selected. She is more professional. Although her emotions are not full, she is also very distinctive in shaping the character."

After she said this, two more sound testers raised their hands to indicate that contestant number 59 was selected.

In the end, Yu Xi managed to pass the first round, but the thirty places in the preliminary round have not yet been fully confirmed.

Because only fifteen men and fifteen women were selected in the preliminary round, but after the first round of screening, there are about twenty men and twenty women, and there is another round of screening.

Yu Xi and the contestants selected in the first round were arranged by the staff in another room, where lunch and drinks were provided.

The organizer said: "After the first round of contestants are confirmed, the rules for the next round of screening will be announced. The contestants who have completed the screening can have lunch first."

By the time all the selected candidates gathered in the room, it was already around one o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, the organizer's staff will announce the next round of screening rules.

Because Yu Xi injured his arm and was afraid of being hit, he stood at the back, nearly one meter away from the nearest contestant, making him feel out of place.

The organizer's staff glanced at the place where she was standing and didn't say much. They just began to announce the rules for the next round of screening.

"In the next round of screening, there are 120 people in the public, each accounting for one point of sound value, and eight sound testers, each of whom has ten points of sound value.

Finally, the last-place elimination system will be used to eliminate the contestants after the 15th place according to the gender ranking. "

One contestant asked: "So what preparations do we, the shortlisted contestants, need to make?"

The organizer's staff said: "Each of your selected roles is the role you need to play in the next round. Now find the players related to your selected roles."

Everyone looked at the staff in confusion, some of them not understanding the meaning of her words.

Seeing this, the staff member gave an example: "For example, the housekeeper, servant, and eldest daughter in "The Golden Princess" are related characters."

After the organizer’s staff explained it this way, everyone understood.

The role played by Yu Xi happens to be the youth of the villain in "The Rich Girl's Counterattack".

The staff gave each character a film or TV title, and everyone just had to gather towards the film or TV title without having to worry about being strangers to each other and not being able to find their team.

After the organizer saw that everyone had found the film and television related roles they belonged to, the organizer continued:

“You will have one day to recover before moving on to the next round of screening to determine the semi-finalists.

During this day, there will be professional teachers to give guidance, and you will meet the professional teachers later. I hope you will have a pleasant cooperation. "

Yu Xi frowned, feeling that the schedule for the preliminary round was not reasonable at all. There was no specific time plan, and the contestants were just left waiting.

Although the contestants will not deliberately offend the organizers in order to continue the competition, it is certain that everyone will feel uncomfortable.

I’m afraid that right after the selection for this competition, there will be a bad influence on the Internet.

Sure enough, after the organizer's staff explained the rules of the competition, some contestants raised questions.

"Then how long do we have to wait?"

The organizer heard the contestant's question, looked down at the message on his phone, and replied:

"The instructor has already entered the sports plaza and will be at the door soon."

Yu Xi shook her head. Shouldn't these instructors be in place when the staff announced the rules of the competition? Why did they make the contestants waste time waiting?

If it were to be made public, it would become an unfavorable topic.

Although Yu Xi kept complaining in his heart, he was still looking forward to it.

Thinking that the instructor would come soon, she could communicate with him about tomorrow's rehearsal program earlier so that she could go back and rest earlier.

After all, Yu Xi had a stomach upset and couldn't eat the fast food that had already gone cold. At this moment, she was starving and just wanted to fill her stomach with some food.
