Let’s see..... This should be enough for the setup, right?
I checked the camera and microphone connected to my computer.
Well, I’m appearing on something like a special guest segment, so I ought to prepare at least this much.
These were pieces of equipment at prices I couldn’t have even imagined before, but I’m rich now.
“Ah, ah, mic test!”
Not a single speck of static—a clean, cute voice was converted into electrical signals and came through the headset.
“How do they even make something like this?”
To think they made it by controlling the intensity of lightning, which was thought to be something only the heavens could handle.
This is a miracle!
I figured that if the ones above the clouds heard this, they’d lock me away on Huaguoshan.
At first, I wondered if I’d have to go somewhere since it was called a special guest segment, but fortunately, that wasn’t the case.
I just had to meet through a program called Thatcord using my computer at home.
Still, since the voice and video quality needed to be good, I bought a new microphone and camera.
To use Thatcord, I had to do some kind of membership signup, but with my brilliant mind, I succeeded in just 3 hours and 56 minutes.
Honestly, it was my first time, so finishing in 3 hours is pretty fast. Admit it? Yeah, admit it.
I had just finished all preparations, and now I was waiting for the call to come in.
I wonder if this exhilaration, as if prey were right before me, means I still have some instincts left?
Ding!
It’s here! It’s here! It’s here! It’s here! It’s here! It’s here! It’s here! It’s here!
“Hello.”
“Hello.”
A brief silence fell.
“That’s strange, did the echo settings get messed up?”
“That’s strange, did the echo settings get messed up?”
“Hold on, I’ll step out and fix it......”
“No, no! The settings are fine. That wasn’t an echo earlier—I was just playing around.”
I barely stopped Dodohan from leaving the room.
Or rather, she was trying to leave because of me...... If you fuss over such trivial details, you can’t become a great person.
“.......Huh? That wasn’t an echo just now?”
“Yes, it wasn’t an echo. I was copying your voice.”
.
.
.
Before the special guest segment began.
To proceed with the broadcast smoothly and remove any awkwardness for the viewers, Dodohan had tried to break the ice by talking with her invited guest first.
And...... far from breaking the ice, things had frozen over instead.
It wasn’t that the atmosphere had become awkward.
‘What the heck....? Is this for real? She copied my voice on the spot? I’m scared!’
How would it feel if someone you were talking to for the first time perfectly reproduced your voice?
It made her feel an indescribable terror beyond surprise.
However, she was a pro broadcaster with 400,000 subscribers.
Even she had what they called an occupational disease.
“If I use this well........”
The way to drive out fear was surprisingly simple.
Desire.
Just as scary thoughts disappear when you think lewd thoughts before bed, her desire for views overcame her fear.
“Um, could you perhaps do a different voice?”
“A different voice? What should I try?”
“Please do one you’re confident in among famous voices.”
A famous voice...... What would be the most famous voice across the entire nation?
Ah! If it’s a famous voice, then of course the King’s voice is the most famous!
“People come first.”
Pfft! Cough, cough!
The sound of violent coughing after choking came through the headset.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m fine (cough!) I’m fine (cough!) I’m not fine (cough!) Just a moment.”
Was the King impression so funny that it made her choke? Somehow I don’t think that’s it?
When she returned shortly, she said,
“I just didn’t imagine you’d be able to do a former President’s impression with that slender voice......”
“My voice is slender?”
“Yes, it is?”
The voice I normally used was simply the one I used to keep a promise.
I hadn’t paid any attention to whether it was slender or deep.
Was it a pansori singer’s voice, then?
“Anyway, please refrain from doing politician impressions like that during the broadcast. If things go wrong, our stream is over.”
“Yes, I understand. If done poorly, we could get dragged into partisan fights, after all.”
I wanted to ask whether Dodohan’s faction was Noron or Soron, but held back in case it would be rude.
“Then shall we start the broadcast?”
“Yes.”
-Doha!
-Doha!
-Doha!
-Is that special guest here?
-Probably here.
-fr lol
“Nice to meet you all....! Today’s content is the special guest segment everyone has been waiting for!”
-Oooooh!!!
-Isn’t that the person who did the voice impressions?
-yeah
-Guess the invite worked
-And that wasn’t staged?
“Then today’s broadcast ends here!”
Dodohan declared the end of the stream the moment it started...!
-?
-?
-?
-?
-Captain, no way?
“Sorry for the joke.”
-boring
-boring
-You’re done for
-Captain, you trying to quit streaming today?
“Wow! You really startled me. Please don’t play pranks like that in the future. For a moment, I thought I was the one who said it.”
“Yesh! (in Dodohan’s voice)”
“Really.....!”
-Is this one person playing two roles?
“No, it’s not one person playing two roles. Please hurry up and introduce yourself before the viewers get even more confused!”
Dodohan’s voice, which had been nothing but gentle, became as sharp as a blade in an instant.
If I played any more pranks, I might not get my appearance fee, so I stopped joking and began my introduction.
“My name is Sanbeom. I’m 20 years old. I’m currently a rookie voice actor. My favorite food is gin........seng.”
-So it really was a different person?
-?
-?
-That wasn’t staged?
-I thought it was 100% staged
-Didn’t you say they were a voice actor
-fr lol
-Anyone whose brain is so rotted they think voice acting is just impressions, get out
-Wasn’t that it, though?
-That’s actually insane
“So you were a voice actor. No wonder your voice was extraordinary. Do you happen to have any recent works you’ve participated in?”
“It’s my first work, but have you heard of ‘I Became the Entertainment Target of a Yuri Novel Writer’?”
-?
-Are my ears broken today?
-That, the famous anime?
-yeah, it’s a Korean yuri anime
The chat window sped up faster than a valley stream after rainfall.
“What is that....?”
Unlike the chat’s reaction, Dodohan seemed not to know that animation.
-You don’t know that?
-There’s a crazy anime with one voice actor.
-All the characters were acted by one voice actor...... and that voice actor’s name.....
-Sanbeom, it’s Sanbeom, crazy!
-Damn, the voice actor everyone’s been looking for is here?
-And that’s their first work?
[100,000 won donation (gong-hitting meme)]
“I’ve heard of it. There was an anime that got famous in the final episode for having one voice actor..... that”
Dodohan hadn’t done a face reveal on stream, but her voice alone was enough to convey her surprise.
“That’s correct. That was me.”
I checked the broadcast’s viewer count.
10,000.
It was several times the usual number.
While doing special guest segments, I had hit a maximum of 6,000 combined on Witube, Jjiririt, Twizzerd, and Apeuyuta, but this was the first time people had gathered this quickly after starting.
Moreover, donations were exploding continuously in real time.
The 1,000 won donations were uncountable, and the 10,000 won ones came in as naturally as breathing.
Then all of that money would go toward the invited guest’s appearance fee.
In the end, there would be no money left over, but in exchange, Dodohan could gain views and a new influx of viewers.
“Sanbeom-nim, the viewers have some lines they’d like you to do impressions of...... Is that possible?”
“It doesn’t matter if they’re male or female, I can do it!”
“Then.”
Dodohan sent a file to Sanbeom.
“WRYYYY!!!! This is the most yuri! Mood ever!!”
-Dio-sama!
-You can even do that?
-Could the gender be......
The viewers had now reached the point of being curious about Sanbeom’s gender.
Dodohan felt the same.
The voice that was said to be her original voice was a female voice, but since she could produce male voices so well, even the original voice might be fake.
“Um, if you don’t mind me asking, what is your gender? The viewers keep wondering......”
“Me? I’m a woman, is there a problem?”
-A woman?
-Ain’t that a futa?
-fr
-It makes no sense that she’s a woman with that voice
I had already bought a cam knowing reactions like this would come! Heh!
“The viewers don’t seem to believe it..... May I turn on my cam and show them?”
“Ah! Yes, yes.”
Dodohan connected the broadcast screen to my cam.
In other words, the moment I turned on my cam, my face would be revealed immediately.
“One, two, three!”
My face filled the screen.
The cute and adorable body I received from the Reaper appeared on the screen.
-Heart attack.
-It’s AI, right? Please say it’s AI!
-Sir, this is cheating.
-Legal loli.
-Arrest the guy above.
-No, this is the face of a 20-year-old? That makes no sense?
“Uh...... You’re extremely cute.”
The chat window was already on fire, and Dodohan was at a loss for words too.
Is my face really that cute?
As for me, I don’t really know the standards of beauty set by humans.
That’s why I never felt much looking in a mirror.......
Receiving this barrage of praise calling me cute made me feel a bit...... strange.
As soon as I revealed my face, donations exploded like crazy too.
At a speed incomparable to haptic suit broadcasts.
Though none of that would go entirely into my pocket, even thinking that some of it would made me feel good.
