Casting is out!!
The cast list is now out on the discord! Congratulations to everyone, and thank you for being here! <3
Welcome to Epic: The Fan Cover!
This is a just-for-fun project, looking for singers/actors, digital artists, and audio mixers. Anyone can audition for anything! Just make sure to look at the requirements under each role! You may audition for roles and be an artist or a mixer.
Everything will be uploaded to a YouTube channel when we are finished. This will not be a quick project! We will take our time and have fun with it!
Some IMPORTANT notes:
You MUST be age 15+ to join this project!
The voice types (femme/masculine) are just a suggestion! Audition for what you want.
When auditioning, it is recommended to either sing with a backing track or sing acappella. Please don't sing over something that already has vocals!
There will be callbacks for some roles! More information to come after auditions close.
ALL roles will be open. I will not close anything until after the deadline/callbacks.
Discord is required! DM me for the link.
Note that people are allowed to use mature language in this discord, but still make sure you are not making anyone uncomfortable. It is required that you join because it makes it easier for everyone involved!
Spread the word to your friends! Anyone can audition. If you are not placed in a name role, you will automatically be put in the ensemble. If you do not want to be in the ensemble, that is okay! Just please know that nobody is guaranteed a role.
Depending on how many people audition, you may be asked to be multiple roles!
HAVE FUN! BE KIND! We're all friends in the Epic community :) <3

Aaaaaand we've officially passed the deadline! Thank you to everyone who auditioned. If you auditioned but are not in the Discord, please DM me ASAP and I'll get you in!

OKAY--Here's how this works! If you want to be in any of the ensembles, read carefully.
There are a few ensembles. Here they are:
- Soldiers chorus
- Lotus Eaters
- Other Cyclopes/Laestrygonians
- Winions
- God Chorus (this includes "Wouldn't You Like" and "No Longer You")
- Sirens
- Suitors
If you want to be in any of these, submit anything that showcases your voice. At least sing something epic related, I don't care what it is. If you want to be in the ensemble, you are automatically in! This is just here so I can figure out where to place you. In the "Notes" section when you submit, please be clear as to what ensemble section/s you wish to be in. There is a good chance you'll be placed in multiple. You got this! (If you want to be a winion or lotus eater, I HIGHLY encourage you to give me your best voice for those roles!)
Sing any part of any epic song.
Looking for 1-3 artists to help with some cover art! This is not something that is needed, but something that would be fun. Submit your work! Let's see it.
*Say something you think would fit*
Looking for a few people who are good at mixing sounds. You should hopefully have experience with certain music programs (like Bandlab, which is what I use). When we start recording, you will be very important!
