"Th-That was amazing..." Was this what one would expect from a girl aspiring to become a voice actress? Nanami Aoyama noticed something no one else had: "That was JoJo—no, that was DIO's original voice. E-Even though you changed the lines..."
"It was just a simple voice-changing technique..."
Utaha Kasumigaoka: "..."
Sogo, how were ordinary people supposed to survive with you around?
"Phew..." As expected, Mafuyu Kirisu sighed. "That's why I said that failing to make good use of talent is a waste. Voice actress, if you had Doma's talent, I would definitely support your goal of becoming a voice actress..."
Nanami Aoyama: "..."
How could she possibly do that? Even among professional voice actors, there probably weren't many who could alter their voices like that! So—
"Does that mean ordinary people without talent can't achieve their dreams through hard work?"
"It's not impossible, but it takes a great deal of time..." Was that pity from Mafuyu Kirisu?
"I have plenty of time!"
"Unfortunately, whether it's voice acting or being an idol, both are professions that depend on youth." Mafuyu Kirisu explained, "There certainly are veteran performers in these fields, but they were all geniuses who debuted while they were young. As you grow older, even if your technical ability improves, your age will become an insurmountable disadvantage...
By then, the voice acting knowledge you spent years, or even over a decade, learning will become completely useless. In the end, you'll have merely wasted your time!"
Nanami Aoyama: "..."
Utaha Kasumigaoka: "..."
What she said was true, but wasn't that far too harsh? The girl wasn't even a Toyogasaki student. Was it really okay for Kirisu-sensei to speak like that?
"Completely useless?" Sogo Doma picked up the conversation. "I don't think there is such a thing as knowledge being completely useless..."
