I need a female voice actor who will need to pronounce 2-3 lines in Japanese. Don't worry it does not have to be fluent. I REALY need this line as soon as possible meaning before Friday. Thanks!

Ummm... I'd like to help you out, but I have no idea how to pronounce words in Japanese. It is a language very different from English, and since you need the lines in two days, that doesn't give one much time to learn.
female voice acters are in short supply aren't they
pronounce 2-3 lines in Japanese
I can speak Japanese if you
female voice actor
oh wait nevermind.

Yes, someone please help him. I tried but had to give up. For one, the translator sites spoke so quickly that I couldn't hear them well enough to imitate them. Secondly, these sites are very literal and translate very inaccurately. I had the sites re-translate back into English the Japanese lines they had given me, and they were all different and all very wrong! I was afraid I would inadvertently end up saying something not only incorrect, but possibly offensive. Someone is needed who can speak Japanese, can translate the lines properly, and can pronounce them too. BGanimations, please give it a try if you can. I feel very badly about not being able to help... 
@Alfa Animations - There aren't many female voice actors, but I do it quite often, especially if I am sent a PM. 
Yes, Only a few girls but that leads to a 1% Chance of finding a girl that speaks Japanese properly.
I doubt there's even a Japanese female in BiM.
I'm sorry DarthSparky007 but maybe you could head onto Youtube!

I don't have many female viewers on youtube. This is a brickfilm community so my chances of finding a female actor are a lot greater. Then again I could ask one of my cousins......
Or Maybe you could make a video? 
Well I have an idea that might help depending on how ignorant i may be. Although it still might not help at all. But anyway.....
If the language really needs to be japanese, then you have a problem. But if it just needs to sound japanese, then maybe you can just substitute in some chinese lines or some other dialect so that it sounds japanese from you character. Of course I don't know if chinese and japanese sound similar, so if not then it is just my ignorance, and im sorry for anyone I may offend.
But yeah. that's my idea, and if it is already past the deadline, then i guess there's nothing we can do about it. (I know you said friday, but if maybe there is still a chance you can accept a voice actor then good luck)

I have it uploaded. I got one of my cousins to voice act and I ended up making it English with a Japanese accent. Check it out in the releases section!
