Biography
Sasahara learned to play the piano at a young age and dreamed of becoming a singer during her elementary school years. She was persuaded against pursuing that career by her parents, who advised her that becoming one was difficult.{{Cite web|url=https://ddnavi.com/interview/542743/a/|title=「篠原侑」声優インタビュー＆ミニグラビア【声優図鑑】|date=June 14, 2019|website=Da Vinci News|publisher=Kadokawa Corporation|language=ja|access-date=September 24, 2019}} While in junior high school, she played the clarinet as a member of her school's brass band. Around this time, she was encouraged to pursue a career in voice acting by her father, who told her that she could sing, act, and appear on TV in that line of work.{{Cite web|url=https://seimaga.jp/item06.html|title=【声マガ・インタビュー】篠原 侑|date=January 31, 2019|publisher=Seiyū Magazine|language=ja|access-date=September 24, 2019}} Her father then encouraged her by printing out an audition form for a role in the Japanese dub of the film The Golden Compass, although she ultimately did not push through with auditioning. Nevertheless, as she had already been interested in anime and manga, the experience influenced her to investigate voice acting more and learn about anime production.
