Female singer needed for Musical Song Demo
Project Overview
Hello, everyone! This casting call is for a new musical concept album, "Ripper" which presents a musical based around a fictionalised version of the Jack the Ripper case.
We're casting for a Mezzo-Soprano to sing the role of Mary Kelly on the song "Fire in my Heart." You will be provided with sheet music and a midi backing track to sing to and expected to return a high quality, unprocessed vocal.
Song is in English, all auditionees must be comfortable speaking/singing in English. We are comfortable auditioning a range of accents for the role.
This project is UNPAID and NONPROFIT.
This album will eventually be available for free on our website, where you will be credited.
ALBUM OVERVIEW
In Victorian London, a monster lurks inside Robert Smith, waiting to pounce. Plagued by jealousy and shunned by his lover Mary, soon he will embrace his demons and become the Ripper. Only the dogged and radical Inspector Aberline stands between Robert and his lust for blood and destruction.
DEADLINES AND AUDITIONS
The deadline for auditions is July 5th, 2020. We'll notify voice the successful singer by no later than July 10th 2020. We will expect to receive the recording by midnight on July 20th (GMT.) This is a hard deadline. If you are unable to learn and record a single song in the space of ten days, please do not audition.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Expect to be warmly greeted by me. This is a personal passion project written and composed by me, so if you're cast I will be forever grateful for your services. We will communicate primarily via Email, but I'm more than happy to swap social media details and stay in touch. I think a good working relationship is a good friendship waiting to happen!
WHAT WE ASK OF YOU
- First and foremost, have fun -- Jump at creating a complex and layered character through the medium of song.
- Please submit clean recordings on prosumer mics (no air conditioners in the background, no fans -- we don't mind performing noise reduction on your files, however too much clean-up reduces the quality of your voice). And speaking of clean-up -- please let us handle the post-production. Don't add effects to your lines -- leave that to me.
- Feel free to cut your lines to your best/favorite takes. Three is the gold standard. I may cut and splice different bits of different recordings to create the final song. So please at least remove the takes you don't want.
- Please submit your recordings as one .wav file to our company email address, which will be provided to you after casting. If a file is too large to submit via email, we prefer to use Google Drive or We Transfer.
- If needed, I may ask for re-records. This may be for character direction, to correct a bum note, or for other reasons. This will of course come with an extension to the deadline.
- Lastly, as this is an album, and the songs are currently being composed, you may be called upon to provide vocals for future songs. If you are not happy to take part in future recordings please do not audition.
WHO ARE WE?
I am Jake A Smith, a playwright and occasional composer. I've long had the desire to write a concept album, so this is me, trying it out!

Mary is a young woman in victorian London. A former prostitute, she gave it up after falling in love with Robert. His jealousy and suspicions about her past lead him to become the Ripper, ultimately making Mary his last victim.
Mary is the emotional heart of the show and the story is told through her eyes. In this song, she has discovered Robert's true nature, and though she loves him, she vows to stop him killing again, even if it kills her.
