Heathers 101: Official Recordings
Project Overview
I love Heathers, but I also happen to like the high school version, since I am a high school student. And I've seen no official cast recordings for this version, so I figured I'd try my best to do this! Basically, Heathers 101 is the high school PG-13 version of Heathers: the Musical where all the bad stuff is taken out, but the story is still enjoyable and many plot points are kept in. They even replaced "Blue" with "You're Welcome," which can be an unwelcome change for hardcore Heathers fans, but it does its purpose well. Now, I wish to create unofficial cast recordings of these high school version songs, but I can't do it alone!
THIS PROJECT WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING
- Singers/Voice Actors: Since this is a musical, you will need to be able to do both. I am taking the role of Veronica Sawyer, so that's why you can't audition for her. Think of it as a freedom I have as the leader of this project. There will be many roles available, so try out for as many as you'd like! Who knows, if you don't get the part you want, you might get cast as an ensemble member!
- Music Producer: I need someone to make custom instrumentals for the music, since it's not always available on YouTube. I will only be doing the songs that actually got recorded (so no Prom or Hell), as well as You're Welcome. I will recruit more than one music producer to split the workload.
- Mixer: Someone needs to tune, time, mix, and master our vocals to utmost perfection! There will be a lot of vocal files, so be prepared for that. I will recruit more than one mixer to split the workload.
You can see the roles available in the project.
BEFORE YOU AUDITION
1. You must have a Discord account. It's an easier way to chat and get people to do their jobs and overall, it's pretty organized. If you don't have one, make one.2. Record without background music. This way, I can hear your raw voice.
3. Remember, you are doing this for fun, not for profit. If you demand any monetary compensation, I'm sorry, but I really don't have that kind of money! But please, if you really love Heathers but you also want teenagers to listen to the songs without getting too squicked out, then please consider auditioning!
I will start off with 2 weeks for the deadline. If I still don't have enough auditions by then, I will reopen the deadline. And even if you can't join, spreading this project will help!
