The Signless is the troll that turns the planet on its head. Born a mutant outcast and raised by a mother (something trolls are not), his visions cause him to aspire for equality throughout the planet. He is strong, stubborn, and peaceful. A POWERFUL MALE VOICE is required with a strong baritone/tenor register.
Sing a song you think fits this character! Some good choices would be a male song from a classic musical, or anything else that fits a strong male voice. Any song will be accepted as long as it's musical theatre!
Voice and character descriptionThe Handmaid serves as narrator of the story for most of the time. She is quiet, and mysteriously sexy sounding. She sings at an alto register with minor belting. She is shrouded in mystery, being the legendary time-traveling "Demoness" of Alternia, and should talk and present herself as such.
Sing a musical theatre song you think fits this character! Reminder that she is, above all else, mysterious; any sort of "Narrator" song would work fantastically too!
After the Signless (Spoiler Alert!) Dies, the Summoner takes up his revolution. His methods are, unsurprisingly, different, and he quickly reverts to violence to spread equality across the planet. Think of his as a natural-born Enjolras; headstrong, full of vibrant energy, and drop-dead gorgeous.
*Say something you think would fit*
Disciple is both Signless's smitten lover and his most devout follower. She faithfully copies his sermons, and idolizes everything he does. She outlives and survives his death, banished to a life of exile. Pretty depressing, man.
Sing a musical theatre song you think fits this character! A reminder that she is sweet and sincere, and a quiet soprano song would probably be your best bet!
The Dolorosa is the Signless's mother, and perhaps the first and only mother on Alternia. She accepts the role gladly and takes the other rebels under her wing as well, acting as their spokeperson and caretaker. She is warmheated and soft-spoken. She is a warm soprano, and has the closest voice to operatic in the musical (it doesnt have to be, though!)
Sing a musical theatre song you think fits this character! A mother song would be your best bet-she is kind and caring, and soft-spoken
The Neophyte Redglare is a new deputy to her job serving Alternian Law-and BOY, does she LOVE the law. Her penchant is justice and doing what's right for her government. When quested with killing the radical Marquise Mindfang, she has one teensy tiny problem-that she actually BELIEVES In hemoequality. She's a lot of fun to play!
Sing something you think suits this character! Remember that she is a STRONG and EMPOWERED woman-sing something with gusto!
Mindfang is arguably the lead in this musical, starting strong and taking center position after Signless dies, She's headstrong, stubborn, and kind of a huge bitch, but she's able to redeem herself, find love, and fight for a good cause by the end of the musical.
Sing something that you think fits this character! A reminder to PLEASE SHOW ME YOU CAN BELT; because she does a HELL OF A LOT OF IT
Darkleer begins the show as a quiet and soft-spoken loyalist, working uncertainly as an executioner under the crown. After he falls in love with the girl he's been assigned to kill, he lets her go, causing his banishment from the empire. He struggles with self-identification for a while after this.
Sing a theatre song you think best fits this character! Please show off your low range and sing something that shows both a capability to be strong and quiet!
Though not the main villain of After Us, the Highblood certainly stands as one. He's a bloodthirsty murderer, through and through, devout to leading his juggalo cult (yes, really) and murdering innocent lowbloods for the sake of the crown. He plans a few murderous schemes and works with the Neophyte to commit a few murders. He's a fun character!
Sing a musical theatre song you think fits this character! Think DEEP, POWERFUL, and maybe a bit MURDEROUS.
Orphaner Dualscar is a hardened man, toughened from the strongest hate-relationship of the seven sees, that with the Spinneret Mindfang, and his job as professional parent-murderer. (Yes, really.) He falls in love with his newest slave, and when Mindfang breaks her heart by stealing her from him, he goes on a quest for revenge.
Sing a song you think fits this character! Show off a strong tenor range and a lot of acting ability.
**A STRONG Preference will be shown for an actress who also auditions for Homestuck: The musical!**
Sing a song you think fits this character! Remember; sexy evil female villain. Show off some nice alto register or Belting!
