Hanyuu (Higurashi) vs Nyu/Lucy (Elfen Lied) - Rap Battle
Project Overview
I am producing a rap battle between the characters 'Hanyuu Furude' from the horror anime series 'Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni' and 'Lucy/Nyu' from the horror anime series 'Elfen Lied'.
I am looking for two individuals to portray the characters 'Hanyuu Furude' and 'Lucy/Nyu', as well as someone to portray a one-word cameo role as the character 'Rika Furude', also from 'Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni'.

Hanyuu is the spirit deity over Hinamizawa in the Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni series.
Her voice (as portrayed in verse 1 of the rap battle) is cutesy, high pitched and well-spoken.
Her voice (as portrayed in verse 2 of the rap battle) is, while still maintaining a moderately high pitch, filled with brooding anger, resentment and judgment. It is not overly angry, but still packs a harsh bite.
Please study the voice with the reference clips below!
Excerpts from the project's audio demo:
Hanyuu - verse 1 (cutesy): https://clyp.it/ug5ovz1j

A cover (can be just a single section) of a (preferably rap) song that demonstrates an ability to:
- Be able to be on-beat
- Follow lyric flow
- Be able to do multiple run-on lines/couplets/bars in a single take (optional)
- Have good mic quality (i know this isn't an ability but still)
- Express the character of Hanyuu well
- Be able to express two different tones, a cutesy tone and a harsh tone (see desc.)In your audition, try to adlib some of Hanyuu's mannerisms (auau~, hau!, etc.) (see desc.) into it!
Nyu is a ditzy girl with no memory of who she is, and primarily can only say "Nyu!" (Of course, she will be speaking more than just that in the battle.)
Her voice is extremely childlike and high pitched, expressively she is also like a child.
Lucy is a girl of the diclonious species, who is quite jaded from her emotional torment from being who she is.
Her voice is the exact opposite of Nyu's, as it is brooding, dark, moody and deep. She has the voice of an older woman as Lucy, Her voice is not completely emotionless all the time, as her voice, especially during fights, can be quite aggressive.

A cover (can be just a single section) of a (preferably rap) song that demonstrates an ability to:
- Be able to be on-beat
- Follow lyric flow
- Be able to rap in double time / fast rap (important)
- Be able to do multiple run-on lines/couplets/bars in a single take (optional)
- Have good mic quality (i know this isn't an ability but still)
- Express two different voices, the cutesy childish voice of Nyu and the emotionally jaded, resentful and angry Lucy both well.
Rika Furude is the shrine maiden of Hinamizawa's Furude Shrine.
Her voice usually is of a cutesy child's, as physically Rika is a young child, but in her cameo appearance in this project, she does not appear as so.
When speaking to Hanyuu, her voice changes from a child's to an emotionally jaded young woman's.
Her appearance in the rap battle is during Hanyuu's second verse, in which she interrupts one of Hanyuu's lines that off-handedly disses Rika.
(Rika in italics)
"Someone Nyu came out to play, thought I’m in for a fun loop
Now you show me that you’re more two-faced than Ri- Hanyuu. Hau!"
