Closed!
This project is closed and role finalization should be up by tomorrow (1-18-2016). Thank you all very much!
Hello hello! My name is Finn and this is a casting call for an english dub of one of my favorite vocaloid songs, Kami no Manimani! I may cast myself as either Gumi or Rin but if I see that I am very much outdone, I am ready to give up that spot~ This is my first every casting call, however I am not new to the group audio project scene! I will work hard to give feedback, castings, scripts, and many other things as quickly as I can! But enough of my introduction, lets move to what probably intrests you more!
This project is using the English lyrics crafted by JubyPhonic (found here:http://youtu.be/2tV9Dz1e4HQ). However if I can find the off-vocal of the original track, the pitch may be different. (More like so: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UZP8Evg9jmk). If you can match the voice of the character you auditioning for in the japanese lyric while keeping the english lyrics in your audition, this will earn you a good advantage!
In this song each vocaloid gets little solo parts, so please be ready for that! They do all sing in a harmony during the refrain, and we will be doing that in the video, but don't worry about that for now! Just use the melody for your audition, and if you WANT to try the harmony for your character, make that an extra somewhere in your take!
Rules!
-please have at least a decent mic! i would like as little cracking as possible
-please be ready to be on youtube and or tumblr! youtube is a for-sure platform I will be posting our performance, and I may put it up on tumblr as well!
-use as many different takes as you need in your recording, but please be kind and not flood me with 12 minute long recordings
-if you wish to redo something after critique, please do so!
-please be punctual, obviously there are good reasons for things to be late, but do try your hardest!
-that said if you need to email me a take later than the set date the casting is for ask me right away!
-please have a skype! it is easier to communicate with. plus we can all chat there and have fun!
-please do not autotune your voice to sound more like a vocaloid, if you want to, feel free to add it to you audition as an extra, but it is not going to influence my decision
That's all I can think of at the moment so go ahead and audition! Thank you all, I can't wait to hear your auditions!
This project is closed and role finalization should be up by tomorrow (1-18-2016). Thank you all very much!
Rin is the middle voice at a mezzo-soprano. She has a very jazzy tone in this song.
Like they all say, found a rock to just crawl under and hide
And never think about the moon or sun that roll in the sky
Why was I born, why did I even have to endure?
In the end, I’m just not sure
That’s right, just leave it to the deities
Our responsibilities rule a world
That loves us just the same as you love me
Raise a glass and sing it fast, we command you have a blast
Can’t be bad to just sit back occasionally
You know the things that really mean the most wash away
In all the tiny unimportant things that seem “everyday”
Hatsune Miku is the highest voice in this ensemble. She holds many notes in this piece so please be ready for that~
But wait, though it might all seem like it’s just waste of time
Keep in mind, you’ve got a shot at making something out of
Nothing, getting stronger through the darkest times
Listen close, ‘cause here is why
That’s right, just leave it to the deities
Our responsibilities rule a world
That loves us just the same as you love me
Raise a glass and sing it fast, we command you have a blast
Can’t be bad to just sit back occasionally
Come enjoy the moment, be dumb for just a day
So take it off and get down, laughing easily
Gumi is the deepest voice of the group, a solid Alto. Her voice is strong and somewhat jazzy.
Note: She begins the song, so please if you get the role, be comfortable with a short solo at the very beginning.
It all goes wrong every time I try and do something right
And now can’t help but hate myself for falling behind
I wanna run away from eight million of these aching pains
Looking far and away for just some way to escape
That’s right, just leave it to the deities
Our responsibilities rule a world
That loves us just the same as you love me
Raise a glass and sing it fast, we command you have a blast
Can’t be bad to just sit back occasionally
Is it so bad just to wanna live a fair, simple life?
There’s gotta be a bunch others with the same thing in mind
Can’t seem to run away from eight million of these aching pains
In my heart, they remain and torture me everyday
