Comments:

• How is this not even?

• It’s true, but there are a lot more downvotes.
  └ It’s not true.
  └ This is public opinion, you a-holes.

• Why are you posting this kind of thing? If you don’t like it, just don’t watch it yourself.
  └ Taking a joke seriously…
  └ ■Cosmocar: I won’t delete the post this time, but if similar posts come up, I’ll cut them. If you watch today’s broadcast, you can see how much Leah prepared and how much she loves this content.
  └ That’s right.
  └ (Starts praising the mod icon)

• Just don’t skip it and give it a try… I stayed for the fandom at first, but it was more fun than I thought.
  └ I left during the last story time, but I regretted it after watching today’s broadcast… I’m going to catch up on what I missed on YouTube.
  └ Really? Should I watch the replay?
  └ That’s a bit of an exaggeration.. It’s definitely not boring.

Title: The reason why Leah’s acting is so good.mp4

Content: (Rodian’s voice)

(Seraphil’s voice)

(Rion’s voice)

(Spirit King’s voice)

It’s recorded and voice-modulated, and I counted a total of 17 people, including extrasㅋㅋㅋ

But was there anything that felt awkward? Wasn’t it just so natural?

That’s how good Leah’s acting and vocalization are.

No matter how advanced the latest technology is, AI is not yet that natural.

There were quite a few male lines, but if she can perfectly handle other genders…

She might have learned acting, or she might be a voice actor.

Comments:

• Seeing the speech, her vocalization is extraordinary.
  └ That’s not strange.. Considering how she sings.

• What voice actor… Is this Japan?
  └ There are almost no voice actors in their early 20s in Korea.

• She’s from an idol trainee background, so she took singing + acting classes.
  └ Who teaches trainees acting?
  └ Don’t tell me she’s in her mid to late 20s? She couldn’t debut, so she learned acting to find a breakthrough.
  └ ■OO: I guess there are a lot of new people in the gallery… Don’t bring up red pill topics.
  └ Why are there so many members with past life stories coming out?
  └ ■OO: It’s forbidden to dig it up so openly like this.

• But Leah is so multi-talented… I wonder what kind of person she was? ㅋㅋ
  └ Singing. Acting. Gaming. Novel writing. Broadcast hosting. Mind games. She’s good at everything.
  └ Mind games and messing around are also talents…
  └ It seems like she really wrote the whole story herself… Seeing how she expresses the emotions according to the situation.
  └ No, it’s just expressed well because she ‘reproduces’ what she experienced.
  └ Just go to another world.

Title: Tree Wiki Esmi Leah entry has been created!

Content: (Tree Wiki screen capture)

1. Worldview

Previously, worldview-related explanations were covered in the RP section, but as the broadcasts continued, the worldview settings became too vast (…) so a separate section was created.

It’s not just “I’m from ○○!”, but she explains the history, culture, and events in detail and directly unravels them in the broadcast.

The important thing is that she’s active on the premise that this is not just a ‘setting’ but a ‘being who has really lived in that world’. (At this point, it’s not a broadcast, but a piece of metafiction)

It’s only been two weeks since her debut, and a separate section has already been created, so it’s expected that the content of this section will continue to increase.

Comments:

• A real archivist has been created…

• Is it worth creating a new entry? ㅋㅋ
  └ Just watch the story broadcast twice and the archivists’ brains will freeze.
  └ (Should I put all of this in RP…?)

• Hey, which fan wrote that ㅋㅋ It must have taken a lot of time.

• It seems like they put in almost everything that came out since debut?
  └ They put footnotes for everything she said during casual chats, Q&A, and story time.
  └ The subcategories are also well classified.

• Great Fan: I uploaded a summary of the broadcast on the gallery last time, but if you miss the broadcast or are new, it would be good to refer to this?
  └ The archivist who was typing was caught at home.
  └ Hey, don’t play around in the gallery and go fix the readability.

• If we keep recording like this, we’ll soon find setting conflicts or contradictory statements…
  └ I wonder what excuses she’ll make when that happens ㅋㅋ
  └ Great Fan: For now, there weren’t any particular setting errors.
  └ Just go fix the readability ㅋㅋㅋ

Title: At this point, let’s have a Leah RP vote

Content: I was curious after watching today’s broadcast, so I’m doing a poll.

How do you all think RP and the story are structured?

1. She plans as much as needed for the next day’s broadcast every day (2 votes)

2. Many parts have been conceived, but not everything is set yet (22 votes)

3. Do you think Leah is a joke? Of course, everything from start to finish was prepared from the beginning (18 votes)

• Number 1 is definitely not it.
  └ Yeah… Just what she’s shown so far is a quality and quantity that can’t be covered by planning like a mayfly.

• Number 2 is likely, right? Seeing how she only talked about the story she prepared for today and ended it.
  └ The character concept is predetermined. The story is made up on the spot is the standard.
  └ I was originally number 2, but after watching today’s broadcast, I changed to number 3. I found a few parts that match up with previous statements.

└ She got a lot of RP-related questions besides story time, right? Seeing how she answers right away, number 3 is correct.

• If it’s number 3, she must have planned everything by herself before debut?
  └ She could have done it while preparing for debut.
  └ If she did that at the same time, isn’t she a real genius? She must have been busy just preparing for debut.
  └ I’ve said it many times, it’s a collaboration with the company.
  └ Then why only Leah among the 3rd generation?
  └ Leah had a novel she was writing alone, regardless of her Vtuber debut, and the company helped her based on that, right?
  └ Oh, this is the most plausible.

Nomad Sound’s studio.

Producer Han Jaemin, whom I met last time, greeted me warmly. I also lightly greeted the session engineer I was meeting for the first time.

I had received the guide recording, so I was aware of the melody line of the humming song.

We did a light microphone test, and the session engineer nodded, operating the monitor.

“Checked. You can start anytime.”

I heard the producer’s short signal and slowly inhaled. And then I opened my mouth.

I could feel my voice resonating in the space. Gradually expanding, filling the recording studio. Staining it with my colors.

At first, I simply followed the melody. But. The deeper I immersed myself, the more emotions were naturally embedded in the humming.

It was a position prepared by the producer’s persuasion that I was absolutely needed. I came with the determination to do my best.

So, I thought deeply about my singing skills, which received unexpected praise.

The technique was clearly completed without my knowledge through long exchanges with the spirits. But, does that also apply to emotional expression?

Life, in other words, is the totality of experience. What kind of experience you have had defines who you are.

Perhaps, the many experiences I had were revealed as emotions in the song. I thought about that.

I’ve always been praised for my excellent emotional delivery, even without being conscious of it. But, this time, I paid a little more attention.

Thinking about the things I’ve experienced, I intentionally mixed in emotions.

What immediately comes to mind clearly is the story I told on the broadcast. While preparing for the broadcast, while reproducing each moment. There was a natural aftermath of emotions.

At first, I couldn’t resolve the aftermath of those emotions and met Karen to confide in her. The second time, I was able to shake it off with much less impact.

But intentionally, I maximize the emotions. The person who left my side at that moment. I think of someone who was with me then, but whom I had to part with.

As I unravel the story, I unleash my emotions through the song.

“Aaaa-.”

Clap clap clap –

I take off the earphones. Applause erupted from outside the recording booth. It was the session engineer. He even had tears in his eyes.

I must have sung well, right? But, the producer’s expression looked ambiguous. He looked like he was worrying about something.

“…How did you hear it?”

I asked cautiously.

Producer Han Jaemin nodded and opened his mouth.

“I was truly impressed. I expected it, but I didn’t know it would be to this extent. To be able to express such deep emotions with just humming…”

The producer tapped his fingertips on the desk, as if organizing his thoughts. He closed his mouth for a moment, then slowly turned his gaze to me.

“But… the sadness seems too deep.”

I blinked reflexively.

“The sadness… is too deep?”

“Yes. The current humming is very rich and emotionally complete. But since humming has no lyrics, it’s all about how the listener receives the song. There should be a lingering feeling in the humming itself so that the listener can accept it in various ways. This is even more so because it’s a song that needs to be used in various ways throughout the entire game.”

My mind became complicated for a moment. I didn’t understand well.

“Then, are you saying I should reduce the emotion?”

“No, it’s not about reducing the emotion, but about not driving the emotion in one direction. It’s very beautiful now, but it feels like it’s decided that ‘this is a sad song’. Instead of that, it should be a more ‘open emotion’.”

Open emotion? What is that?

As I was lost in thought, the producer said with a slightly apologetic look.

“I know it’s a difficult request. But I think you can definitely do it, Leah.”

While recording a song, it was the first time I didn’t pass in one take and had to re-record.

I looked at the microphone and quietly inhaled.

“…I’ll try it one more time.”
