Chaos King Cover - Singer with a low and/or rough voice needed!
Project Overview
Heyo, folks and such of the internet!
Yes, I know. Before anything gets going, I know what your thinking - "Yeesh, you're way late to be casting for this kind of thing."
And that's entirely reasonable! Though, the explanation is easy. I've been trying to do a cover of this on my own for a LONG time, and in my most recent attempt I absolutely wrecked my voice before even getting midway through the final take. I do a lot of my nonsense essentially alone, but at this point I'd really like to just get it going.
As it is, I'm VERY proud of the lyrics, and i'd hate for them to go to waste- though, I'm worried that i'm going to permanently damage my voice if I keep this up,
That being said, I'd like to warn that my take on this song is very demanding and should not be attempted if you cannot rough up your voice. I've got decently high standards, but I'm not going to hold someone to it if they end up being unable to pull off the song. The timing is tough, and theirs some spoken parts that match up with the beat... it's a little chaotic at some points, and will absolutely need to have some parts done separately from another. I am looking for a bass, but keep in mind that there are some high notes in the song, so a range is important.
I intend to be very thorough with my instruction, down to the point of where to focus on making the voice rough and where to try and fit some more vibrato in. I've got this song down to a science lyric wise, but I've written it out of my range and cannot do this on my own.
Enough chat, though! I assume you'd like me to get down to business.
If you can't do rough singing, that's fine - Essentially just need someone who can perform the song without wrecking their voice.
I won't be giving any instruction with the lyrics in the audition, as I want to see what you all decide to do with it! The timing is tough in some places, so if you can't get anything specifically just go as far as you can and i'll understand.
With that said, I thank you for your time and wish you the best of luck!

Here it is, folks! The role in question-
As has been said, I will not be including direction on this take, as I want to know what you will do with it- Who knows? EDIT- I have Included a video in the project description that samples how the song should sound. Be sure to tell me if you use that as a sampler! Maybe your take will be better than mine. That being said, I want to remind you that this is a pretty rough cover, so don't sweat it if you can't make it all the way through- I just need to know what i'm working with.
Of course, there are bonus points to you if you can do some extra stuff-
- If you can get the music to play with you, please do (but please don't drown out your vocals). It might help you with the unusual timing, and it will also help me get a better sense of how you sound with the track itself (thus helping me to make my decision more confidently)
- I encourage and am looking for someone who can do this in a rough and vibrato heavy take, though this doesn't take priority over the general performance itself. You will get a huge boost to my review if you can do it, but if you can't than don't sweat it - I don't want anyone to wreck their voice the way that I have.
- Doing your take on the King's voice isn't mandatory per say, but i'm looking for this to be sung in character if it can be managed. Lots of bonus points for going low.
- Be creative with this! Now, there's only so many liberties you can take, but if you see some alternate notes you could hit to harmonize with the song, go for it!
And... that's pretty much all!
Thanks again for your time, and (I know I say this a lot) good luck!
Heyo! Don't read out this part in the audition- Just do a little introduction so I know who I might be working with. Even if it's brief, it'd help me out.
The lyrics are below, separated at points where pauses take place. Some timing can be odd, and there is a spoken part (labeled by being surrounded in brackets ([ ])). This is a reminder that this is a tough adaptation of this in my eyes, and that if you can't make it all the way through in the audition that's fine- All I ask is that you be willing to get through it if casted.
With that said, good luck!What fools
You are
To fight me of free will
You sin
you lie
This fight is where you die
Justice
be served-
You'll get what you deserve
No turning back!
There's no escape from the deeds you have done!
For I
Will make up for the rules that you have shunned-
You stand
As if you think that somehow you are right
And I,
The king of dark have come to shed some light...
[FOOL!] (This is meant to be an intimidating shout used as a transition into the next part- Being rough is a plus here)
Your gaze implies that
you intend to win!
Yet you won't fight, but you refuse to give in-
I know you're goal and you will not succeed!
One thing you missed is that you'll have to get past me!
The people need me
I'm a hero here!
While I am king, I'm the only thing that they'll fear
yet you oppose me, the greatest of disrespects!
You will not pass me!
To that I will see!
Our well of darkness-
Rise up regardless!
You keep on pressing
but not progressing!
If you will not fight?...
I say so be it...
I will destroy you all.
