Voice actress Ayaka Ohashi , 28, who is currently playing the role of Vodka in the Uma Musume: Pretty Derby franchise , appeared on the December 20 edition of the television show “ Odoru! Sanma Goten!! (踊る！さんま御殿！！) ” And she revealed the problems that she has been going through in recent years.
Ohashi appeared as a guest during the “ National Anime Voice Actors & Anime-Loving Celebrities SP ” segment. Inside the section “ Is it bad to worry about this? the popular voice actress commented, " Voice actors have auditions for main characters in anime productions. In those auditions, there is a rule of the agencies that only certain members can pass in certain auditions ."
And he continued: « I have not passed any audition in the last two years », pointing this out as a consequence of the previously mentioned restriction. He also revealed the harsh reality of auditions, saying that " you can pretty much only pass an audition once every two years ."
And he went on to say: " And I've received just under 50 opportunities this year... ". Guest artist Showtaro Morikubo , another voice actor, was surprised by the number of auditions Ohashi mentioned: " Are there really that many auditions? ». Ohashi corrected his statement by saying, " No, maybe 30 or so ." However, the presenter Sanma Akashiya assured that the first figure was correct, saying: « 50, that is correct. 50 including talk shows. The more auditions, the better ».
When asked, " You mean you didn't pass any of those auditions? », Ayaka Ohashi concluded: « They have not accepted me in any. It is bad? », referring to the segment they were doing. On the other hand, Ayaka Ohashi is recognized for roles such as Aki Adagaki in Masamune-kun no Revenge ; Kurome in Akame ga Kill! ; Momoka Sonokawa in Sabage-bu! ; Saaya Yamabuki in BanG Dream! ; Uzuki Shimamura in The Idolmaster ; among many others.
It is likely that the reader will come across listings such as those on MyAnimeList showing Ayaka Ohashi with recent main roles or even supporting roles, however, it should be noted that many of these are from sequels (sequel auditions are not held, as the characters already have an assigned voice) and that the secondary characters he did are only episodic or occasional, for which there is no audition, but a direct contract is managed.
