AUREUM, A K-POP COVER GROUP || MIXER NEEDED

Project Overview


FOREWORD: 
BOTH GUYS AND GIRLS ARE WELCOME TO AUDITION!
I MAY NEED HELP WITH THIS AS THIS IS MY FIRST TIME DOING A PROJECT LIKE THIS ☆

A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Hello! My name is Chae Sira. This isn't my real name, though. It was given to me by a Korean penpal! For this project, I prefer to go by this name, please. Just call me Sira! I am 17 years old, living in the hot and sticky state of Florida. I've had an interest in writing since I was four years old, and an interest in music since i was about seven. I am open to all kinds of music- rap, rnb, reggae, blues, pop, rock, alternative, etc.- but most of all, I LOVE kpop. I've been a fan of the genre since I was eleven or twelve. My ultimate bias group is Vixx and my ultimate bias is still undecided. Honestly, how can I choose? I have tried (poorly) to play piano and now I'm embracing my inner flower child with my ukulele. More than that, I like to sing and rap. Even more than that, I like to write.  Currently, I am on summer break so I have plenty of time. When school starts- that may be another story. Anyway, that's a conversation for later. I want to know about you!

A LITTLE ABOUT AUREUM
This is a name I've kept in the back of my mind for years now. It is a combination of two words actually. Aurum, which is the Latin word for the element of gold, and 아름(areum), which is the Korean word for beautiful. Both words are pronounced alike, and I just thought their combination was a clever little creation. ^^ I would love to create a group that is beautiful in its own way, and that way is like gold. In fact, our cheesy little motto would be "stay gold"!

I would like for this to be a four member group, including me. I chose four because it seemed just enough to resemble a kpop group, but not too much to manage. I'm going for a indie vibe with this group. It'd be great if our covers don't sound too much like the original. I am looking for someone to be in charge of vocals, someone to be in charge of rap, someone to be in charge of aesthetics, and a mixer. I am the writer. You don't have to speak or be Korean to join this group. In fact, I decided to create this group specifically for international fans, as we will be covering some songs in English.

Our covers will go on YouTube, SoundCloud, and possibly other platforms should anyone suggest one. Every member will have access to the YouTube account and any other social media we decide to create in the future. Feel free to promote Aureum to your friends or on your personal social media, just be careful to not expose the identities of the members!

That being said, this will be an anonymous group. We won't be doing this for fame or for profit, just for the simple love of music. That being said, I would prefer that you don't use your real name for the group. Of course, if you want to share it privately with your members, you can. Otherwise, you should only be known by an alias to the public. Now is the time to pull out that quirky stage name you've always wanted to use! As you may have guess, I will be going by Chae Sira. Being anonymous also means that your face won't be on any of Aureum's covers. It's not because we don't love you! No, it's just preferred that we aren't associated with any image except a ~faceless aesthetic~ lol 

But on the real, remember that we are only doing this for the love of music. Aureum is made by and for people who share this love! 

A (LIT)TLE SONG LIST
A lot, almost all, or our songs will be translated into English. Unless of course we come to a group decision that a song or parts of a songs should be left in Korean. The translation adds to the whole "international" idea of Aureum. I have created a list of songs HERE that we could possibly cover if we're ever looking for ideas. You can add songs to this list if you want, but DO NOT REMOVE A SONG. If you add a song to the list, try to keep all songs by the same artist by each other. Feel free to use any of these songs for your audition as well! You can translate them into English if you want for the audition, but you don't need to. 

A LITTLE MORE
I'm not going to keep rambling and bore you, I promise! Now it's your turn to ramble! Make sure you introduce yourself well in your auditions. I want to know the different personalities I'll be working with! Before you continue to auditions please keep in mind these following things:

:: I'm a teenager! I have parents who kick me off the computer or don't allow me to download certain apps or do certain things. Please be understanding if something happens to limit how much I can be involved in a specific moment.

:: I am limited on technology! As much as I would love to, I don't have a fancy recording studio with top of the line equipment. But! I do have a Scarlett 2i2 Studio set and a mac computer with the free versions of GarageBand and iMovie. This is set up in my family computer room, so I have to wait until everyone is out of the room and I have quiet so I can record. Please understand this too!

:: I'm not always just about business. I would like to be your friend and get to know you! I hope that someday we'll be able to drop our aliases and be more than just a bunch of aspiring artists. Making internet friends can be tough, especially with all of the weirdos out there, but I want this to be an enjoyable experience! So even if Aureum doesn't go as planned, we are all still good friends!

Okay, one more thing! I would just like to make sure you have access to these following things before you audition. They aren't all required and set in stone, but should you become apart of Aureum, it would make the process go a lot more smoothly! That being said, please have:

:: AN EMAIL :: Gmail is preferred, as we may use Google Hangouts if we decide to video chat. This will also help with more official correspondence, such as sending recordings, videos, keeping up with the channel, etc. This can change depending on what is available to each member.  I will give each casted member the group email, which is the one I will message everyone off of.


:: DISCORD :: I'm still trying to figure out how to work this myself, and it's pretty cool! You don't have to have  Discord, but if you did it would make things a lot easier! It's a great alternative to Skype or Google Hangouts. 


:: A KAKAOTALK ID OR SNAPCHAT :: Again, you don't have to have this. I have both, but everyone in the group should agree on some sort of method of communication. With these we can set up group chats to get to know each other and talk about anything dealing with the group. I just thought it was easier to keep up with than having to constantly check your email!


:: A DECENT METHOD OF RECORDING :: This, you do need to have. Please have a mic that allows us to hear you clearly without any interference or background noise. This is important for recording songs! We don't want to have any awkward quality covers. 

I think that's pretty much it! PM me if you have any additional questions. Remember that you can audition for more than one role, but you will only be cast in one of the roles. Every audition is valued and greatly appreciated. Happy recording, and stay gold! ♡

WRITER
closed
Unpaid
cast offsite

The writer of the group is mostly responsible for translating songs and distributing lines. If there is no mixer, then they will find the instrumentals as well. Basically, they will make sure there is content to record and that content is ready for recording. They are versatile, and will be a sing or rap as needed. 


Note: I will be the writer for the group, because I write better than I sing or rap! I am also familiar with (the basics of) GarageBand and iMovie, and I can use that to help if needed. My voice isn't necessarily that strong, but I am gradually getting better! There are songs where I will sound better rapping than I would singing, and in other songs vice versa. I need other voices to help support mine. That is why I would like to have this role!

MAIN VOCAL
closed
Unpaid
cast offsite

This person should be the strongest singer in the group. Not necessarily the best, but the strongest. This means that they'll help others vocally if they need it. Basically, be willing to coach others if they ask. The main vocal should be able  to keep the pitch and tone of the song in tact and make sure everyone else does the same. Everyone will be singing at some point, so this is important! This doesn't mean be rude and tell others they suck, but you probably know that! Constructive criticism is better than no comments at all.


Note: You don't have to, but if you have any belting skills please show us!

  • Introduce yourself! What name would you like to go by, and how old are you? What sort of things do you like? What gets on your nerves? How would you describe your style? Tell me anything you want me to know, I'm curious!

  • Sing at least thirty seconds of any song you would like. You can go over thirty seconds or even sing multiple songs if you'd like. Keep in mind that we'll be mostly covering Korean songs, so a Korean song would be best. If you can't find one, I've left a list of songs in the casting call description! Feel free to sing  a capella or over music. I am mostly listening to your singing voice, but it won't hurt to throw in a little rapping! Just in case, you know. (:

MAIN RAPPER
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Yuri

The main rapper of the group is responsible for carrying the rhythm and flow of the song. Like the main vocal, they should be able to help and give others tips on rapping. Everyone will rap at some point, so it's important that if anyone asks for help you 

are willing to answer! Please give feedback and constructive criticism as well! You don't have to be a hardcore rapper or even really know how to rap at first, just be willing to put in the effort!



Note: I am not only listening for skills, but uniqueness! I love to hear rappers that have their own style and can stand out  vocally.


  • Introduce yourself! What name would you like to go by, and how old are you? What sort of things do you like? What gets on your nerves? How would you describe your style? Tell me anything you want me to know, I'm curious!

  • Rap at least thirty seconds of any song you would like. You can go over thirty seconds or even rap multiple songs if you'd like. Keep in mind that we'll be mostly covering Korean songs, so a Korean song would be best. If you can't find one, I've left a list of songs in the casting call description! Feel free to rap a capella or over music. I am mostly listening to your rapping skill, but it won't hurt to throw in a little singing! Just in case, you know. (:

VISUAL
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: promisemewings

This kind of visual is not what you may think. They are responsible for the aesthetics of the group. 


It sounds kind of silly, but this is also an important role! Since we are an "anonymous" group, our videos won't contain our own faces. We still need to make our videos appealing to our audience. If translated, our videos will probably contain lyrics. This should look nice too. The visual will make sure that the graphics (pictures, gifs, videos, whatever.) used in the final video match the song and are aesthetically pleasing. They should be at least a little familiar with iMovie or some kind of video editing software. 

If not, that's okay!  They can either learn or send their ideas to the (not-so-knowledgeable) writer so they can try to put it together. I just named this role "visual" because I'd need a little help coming up with things for the videos we post! Don't worry about it if you're unable to help with that. Just focus on your singing/rapping!

  • Introduce yourself! What name would you like to go by, and how old are you? What sort of things do you like? What gets on your nerves? How would you describe your style? Tell me anything you want me to know, I'm curious!

  • Sing/rap at least thirty seconds of any song you would like. You can go over thirty seconds or even sing/rap multiple songs if you'd like. Keep in mind that we'll be mostly covering Korean songs, so a Korean song would be best. If you can't find one, I've left a list of songs in the casting call description! Feel free to sing/rap a capella or over music. You don't have a specific vocal role, so I would like to hear both talents!

  • Please submit collages or moodboards that showcase different aesthetics! I want to see what kind of ideas you have in your mind! You can either send them to [email protected] or here.

Mixer
open
Unpaid

The mixer is responsible for ensuring that the group has the instrumentals needed to record songs. If needed, the mixer should also be able to help with the production process (writing lyrics, mixing voices, etc). Even though the mixer is not involved vocally, they are still very much apart of the Aureum team! They can make suggestions or requests, give feedback, and help others in their roles. They are somewhat like a manager.


  • Introduce yourself! What name would you like to go by, and how old are you? What sort of things do you like? What gets on your nerves? How would you describe your style? Tell me anything you want me to know, I'm curious!

  • Submit a instrumental version of a song you've created. It can be a cover instrumental of the song, or the original instrumental of the song! Also, this isn't required, but you can also submit an example of your vocal mixing abilities. Show a four-part harmony, pitch correction, voice disguising-- whatever you would like!
