( with SEOHYUN, NISHIYAMA KOTARO, EGUCHI TAKUYA, UCHIYAMA KOUKI, JIN SIEUN, PARK JUNO, CHOI MINGYU )

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Seiyuu Academy Radio!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Seiyuu Radio, episode two!

AFTER GREETING THE AUDIENCE AT HOME IN ENGLISH, BOTH THE HOSTS HAPPILY CLAP THEIR HANDS WHILE THE RADIO'S JINGLE PLAYS IN THE BACKGROUND.

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ This is Seohyun, the host in charge of visuals!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ And I'm Nishiyama Kotaro, the host in charge of everything else...

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ [pouting] More enthusiasm, Kotaro-kun! Stop frowning or you'll get wrinkles at your young age...

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ ...

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Today we're meeting two other teachers... Ah, I'm so excited!

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ And if you ask why Kotaro-kun sounds like a zombie today, it's because he's not excited at all at the thought of meeting one of them in particular...!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ T-that's not true, Seohyun!

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ [teasing] Can you introduce them to the listeners, then? Since you don't mind...!

??? ━ Right, Kotaro-kun!

??? 2 ━ Come on, don't tease him. He's just sleepy.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ [yawning] Thank you, Uchiyama-san...

NISHIYAMA KOTARO SLAPS HIS OWN FACE TO WAKE UP ONCE AND FOR ALL.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Now then. Can our two teachers introduce themselves?

EGUCHI TAKUYA [ACTING TEACHER] ━ Sure! I'm Eguchi Takuya, one of CLASS ONE's acting teachers. Nice to meet you!

UCHIYAMA KOUKI [ACTING TEACHER] ━ And I'm Uchiyama Kouki, one of CLASS TWO's acting teachers. Pleased to meet you.

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Nice to meet you too! I've watched a few of your roles these days, so I have a grasp of what you two have done...

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ But enough chitchat. I think it's unfair to have the trainees wait outside everytime, and we can talk about your careers later, so let's welcome them in already!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Right! Please, feel free to come in!

LISTENERS CAN HEAR A DOOR OPENING IN THE BACKGROUND.

??? ━ Ah...! It's so nice in here! Hello hosts! Hello teachers! I hope you had a good day!

??? 2 ━ Sieun, please... Calm down a little if you can. I didn't sleep well...

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ Oh! Sorry, June...! [quietly] I'll calm down...

PARK JUNO [#005] ━ Oh... I didn't mean that much. I'm glad you have fun, so don't pout.

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ Mhm! [nodding enthusiastically] I'll try my best not to bother you!

PARK JUNO [#005] ━ [stroking her hair with a small smile] Mhm, don't worry. Sorry for asking you that much.

??? 3 ━ ... That's very cute but can we sit now?

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ If we weren't friends I'd start thinking you're a little jealous, Mingyu...!

CHOI MINGYU [#006] ━ ... Me!?

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ No, your mom. Who else is called Mingyu here, silly!

CHOI MINGYU [#006] ━ ...

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ Can we sit here, Seohyun-sunbaenim?

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Go on, Sieun! And introduce yourselves to the public at home, please.

PARK JUNO [#005] ━ Sure, after my count... One, two, three...

??? ━ We're the actors from AmaRanTh Company!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Nice to meet you, guys!

HOSTS, TEACHERS AND TRAINEES ALL CLAP IN UNISON.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ What I heard about you guys is so interesting! Can you talk more about AmaRanTh Company to our listeners?

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ We're a theatre company featuring different talents! Me and Juno have been partners since 2017, while Mingyu has joined us a bit later. But we're all chummy chum chums!

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Aw, that's so sweet!

UCHIYAMA KOUKI [ACTING TEACHER] ━ [smiling] I'm glad they get along well.

EGUCHI TAKUYA [ACTING TEACHER] ━ Yeah! They look so amiable.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ That's what I was thinking too!

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ [checking the tablet in front of her] Woah... People are already asking tons of questions to our guests! We should have enough time to answer more today...! Let us start immediately.

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ I can't wait to answer them all! Who between you two sits next to Seohyun-sunbaenim? I want to be between you two!

PARK JUNO [#005] ━ ... I don't mind. Mingyu, which seat do you prefer?

CHOI MINGYU [#006] ━ I think I'll sit next to Nishiyama-sun-

CHOI MINGYU [#006] ━ ...

CHOI MINGYU [#006] ━ ... Wait, how am I supposed to address you? Nishiyama-san? A funny nickname? [scratches his head]

PARK JUNO [#005] ━ [slapping a hand on his face, frustrated] Mingyu.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ [laughs]

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ [laughing along] Kotaro-sunbaenim will be fine, I think.

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Now then! Let's read the fanmails, shall we?

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ We should! Let's start with tsuzuru-writer's one. Thank you!

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Thank you!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ "Hi there! I've been a huge fan of AmaRanTh actors for a long while and I like stage acting in general! I'm also an avid A3! player and I was wondering whether any of you had ever tried it, since it focuses on stage acting...? Thank you!"

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ Oh... I have, I have! It's one of my favorite games! Kotaro-sunbaenim's character, Tsuzuru, is so lovely too!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ I'm glad to hear that! Who's your favorite character, Sieun?

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ Mhm... I'll say Homare! He's so funny, and his character is just so interesting... There's much more depth to him than most people acknowledge!

CHOI MINGYU [#006] ━ ... Is this about that dude with a horrible hairstyle who write just as horrible poems? He's funny.

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ See! Even Mingyu likes him!

CHOI MINGYU [#006] ━ I watch Sieun playing sometimes and I can't understand how those games work. AT ALL. But the stories are interesting enough... I might give it a try whenever I can.

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ I see, I see! That's so nice...

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Indeed it is! Seohyun, pick the next fanmail please!

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Will do! [scrolls through her device] ... This one by miyureo. Thank you!

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ "For the trainees, what's your favorite role out of all the ones you had so far? As for the teachers, how come Uchiyama-san is here considering he's affiliated with Himawari Theatre Group?"

PARK JUNO [#005] ━ Uhm... People liked our rendition of The Portrait of Dorian Gray, so maybe my role as Dorian during that one. Although it's originally a novel, I think we did a fairly good job and it was extremely interesting too...

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ Oh yeah! You were so good at it!

CHOI MINGYU [#006] ━ Mhm, as for me... I didn't have many important roles up until now, considering I'm one of the younger actors... But acting as Fulgenzio from Gl'innamorati was an interesting experience...!

PARK JUNO [#005] ━ Oh yes, it was. Mingyu threatening to kill himself on stage so frequently was exhilarating... Truly the best actor back then.

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ PLEASE... It was so funny... [lets out a chuckle] I-I'm sorry I c-can't breathe-

CHOI MINGYU [#006] ━ Tsk... You two! Take me seriously!

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ Ah... [pretending to wipe a tear] This was the most fun I had in months, I won't lie.

CHOI MINGYU [#006] ━ ... Listeners from home, please make the hashtag #FreeChoiMingyu trend on Twitter and any other social media so I can eventually be saved from these two! Thank you so much!

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ [laughs] Come on, please! Let's continue with the question. What's your favorite role out of all the ones you had, Sieun?

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ Oh! Uhm... I must say I loved most of them, but Mirandolina's role in The Mistress of The Inn was such a cool experience... My favorite theatre actress ever also acted as her, and I couldn't help but be excited as I thought I could be like her, in front of everyone...!

CHOI MINGYU [#006] ━ She's obsessed with Eleonora Duse, in case you didn't know.

PARK JUNO [#005] ━ That's an understatement. Regardless, she did such a great job and she seemed to have fun. I also had fun standing on the same stage with such a good actor.

CHOI MINGYU [#006] ━ Mhm... [muttering] I guess she was good, indeed.

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ [teasing] Mhm? I didn't hear you, Gyu!

CHOI MINGYU [#006] ━ Not saying it again!

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ ... Hmph!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ [laughs] What about you, Uchiyama-san? People are curious about the reasons of your presence here, so what can you say?

UCHIYAMA KOUKI [ACTING TEACHER] ━ Oh, right... I don't know. [laughs] I just know Eguchi-san once sent me a message asking me whether I'd be up for the position, I said I would, and here we are.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Oh, I see! It's really as simple as that. As we can expect from him...

EGUCHI TAKUYA [ACTING TEACHER] ━ Wait, wait! Before people think I invite people out of nowhere, it was the production who asked me! I didn't invite only Uchiyama-san, either.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ [placing a hand on his shoulder] Eguchi-san, no one said that.

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ [laughs] Moving on with the next question! This one is for you, Eguchi-san.

EGUCHI TAKUYA [ACTING TEACHER] ━ [raising an eyebrow] Oh?

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ yawnkat asks: "Is it true you brought alcohol in the teachers' room?"

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ [teasing] I'm curious as well~ What do you say, Eguchi-san?

EGUCHI TAKUYA [ACTING TEACHER] ━ ...

UCHIYAMA KOUKI [ACTING TEACHER] ━ [teasing] Admit your sins, Eguchi-san.

EGUCHI TAKUYA [ACTING TEACHER] ━ ... Maybe. But I was asked to!

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ It's OK... You can admit you wanted to bring it yourself!

EGUCHI TAKUYA [ACTING TEACHER] ━ ...

UCHIYAMA KOUKI [ACTING TEACHER] ━ I think me and the hosts will get along really well after all.

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ I'm glad to hear you say that, Uchiyama-san!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Let's proceed with the fanmails now! no-rice-no-life asks "Have any of the trainees watched any anime featuring roles from the two teachers we know about so far? Or even played games featuring their characters? Kotaro-kun ones as well... Thank you so much!"

PARK JUNO [#005] ━ Me and Mingyu watched Given together. Eguchi-sunbaenim was in it, right?

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Correct! Your role was Akihiko, if I recall correctly?

EGUCHI TAKUYA [ACTING TEACHER] ━ Right! But I didn't think I'd be more known for a BL compared to the currently popular medias... Like Spy x Family, for example.

CHOI MINGYU [#006] ━ Oh, we're also planning to watch that one! It's just that we've been busy for the all 2022, so we didn't have enough time to do that...

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ Mhm, indeed! But I planned to watch it as soon as I can, along with these two!

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ As for me, of course I can mention A3!, in which Eguchi-sunbaenim also has a role... Other than that, I watched Yuri!!! on Ice as well! Uchiyama-sunbaenim was there...!

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ Although I must say, despite being a role from you, I would punch Yuri in the face without any hesitation.

PARK JUNO [#005] ━ ... !?

CHOI MINGYU [#006] ━ ... Yuri is very cool! What are you on!?

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ You say this only because you like fictional blonde men!

CHOI MINGYU [#006] ━ That's NOT true.

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ IT IS. You're biased!

PARK JUNO [#005] ━ ...

UCHIYAMA KOUKI [ACTING TEACHER] ━ You two, it's OK. [giggling] I don't mind. How many questions are left?

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ I think we could answer another one? If that's fine by you, of course!

EGUCHI TAKUYA [ACTING TEACHER] ━ Sure!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Then this one by zokuzoku should do.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ "Mingyu, I heard you previously wanted to become a musician and that you can play guitar as well. Why did you stick with stage acting?"

CHOI MINGYU [#006] ━ ... Uhm, I don't know how to reply to this specifically... I auditioned for many labels and got rejected by them all, so maybe that affected my determination...

CHOI MINGYU [#006] ━ Still, what is in the past must stay in the past. I don't regret joining AmaRanTh, meeting my teammates, or momentarily forgetting about my idol dreams. I still achieved something by standing on stage with the others, and... Uhm...

PARK JUNO [#005] ━ ...?

CHOI MINGYU [#006] ━ ... I've made some valuable friends for the first time in life thanks to this company, too.

JIN SIEUN [#004] ━ Aw, Mingyu!

PARK JUNO [#005] ━ [smiling wide] That's so sweet.

THE AmaRanTh ACTORS HUG AS THE HOSTS AND TEACHERS CLAP THEIR HANDS.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ That was so heartwarming! I'm glad you're all so close.

UCHIYAMA KOUKI [ACTING TEACHER] ━ They tease each other quite a lot, but they're good friends after all.

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Mhm!

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Well then! This wraps up Episode Two of SEIYUU ACADEMY RADIO. We can't wait to talk to you in the future episodes as well! I hope you enjoyed meeting our teachers and students today. Can I hear a final message for the fans, please?

EGUCHI TAKUYA [ACTING TEACHER] ━ I hope you'll have fun! Follow the show till the very end!

UCHIYAMA KOUKI [ACTING TEACHER] ━ The students are all interesting in their own way. Watch out for the hidden gems out there, and don't underestimate any single one of them.

ALL ━ Thanks for having us!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ And stay tuned, here on...

HOSTS ━ Seiyuu Academy Radio!

NOTES FROM AMPHI . . .

Hi there! Episode Two is finally done... I hope you like it! The more I write about your characters, the more I fall in love with them so I hope it's the same for you while reading T__T

Starting from Episode Three I'll introduce more batches of trainees per episode, I think...! Radio episodes should be 10 at most, so I'll try splitting the remaining students based on these numbers :3
