How to Live in a Ruined World

One of the many remaining people left on Earth. Age, gender, race, anything goes. These are all normal people who couldn't afford the tickets to Mars. Preferably not a posh accent. Likely only going to need like one or two lines per person...
A range of people from different backgrounds, and if you can speak in foreign-accented English, please do so!
There will likely be heavy Chinese influence (as a major world power after the fall of both Russia and the US), so if you can speak a little or a lot of Chinese, let me know in your audition notes!! If you know Esperanto, please let me know as well!

In your audition, please introduce yourself as your sona, or if you don't have one, then yourself! I'll be using your sona or a vague description of you as your character to appear in the animation, unless your character is offscreen.

Potential roles: Injured adult/child, grieving parent/child, newsreader (both English and Chinese), happy children, candy seller/street food vendor, elder mentor, young adults, likely some more to come. Tell me if you really, really, with a burning passion, want to be any of these!

If you can also hold a tune (it doesn't have to be top notch singing!) then please let me know! I'll need choral vocals at some point for a hymn-like background piece, and I'd like it to sound like a church congregation rather than a fully-trained choir.

One of the few elite who secured a place on the spaceship to Mars to escape Earth. Once again, any age, gender or race. These are all the posh and rich people who paid to be taken away from the carnage of Earth, and will soon find out that Mars is going to be MUCH worse. Likely only going to need one or two lines per person. Preferably a posh accent from any country, and if you can do politician impressions, please do! It'll make me giggle. And I kinda need rich politicians to be in here. The accents here will likely be marked RP or SSBE, general American, French, Italian, or Russian.

These people are not going to be recognisable as themselves, (shaved heads, floating in amniotic fluid, increasingly non-human fashion trends) so a description or sona is not required.

In your audition, please introduce yourself as your desired potential role, and make up a few lines that would suit the character! As a guide, these people are hedonistic, self-interested, and only want to pursue their superficial ideals of beauty and power.

Potential roles: Politician, fashion designer/advertisement voice, socialite, unethical doctor, other rich person jobs.

If you can also hold a tune (it doesn't have to be top notch singing!) then please let me know! I'll need choral vocals at some point for a hymn-like background piece, and I'd like it to sound like a church congregation rather than a fully-trained choir.

Because I don't want to use AI at any point ever during this project, I'm using real people for this.

These are the robots and computer system aboard the Mars ship that keep the whole thing going. I'll require slightly more human sounding ones for 'human-facing' AI, and a more robotic selection for those tasked with maintaining the ship and speaking out alerts and notifications.

On Earth, all AI was shut down after people stormed the datacentres and all the people who maintained these places were taken with the Mars people. Which is why all the AI are now being unethically employed to drag these rich bums out to Mars HAHAHA

A sona or description can be provided, if you're looking for a more human-sounding role. If you're looking to be a faceless robot, then no need for this!

In your audition, please introduce yourself with your normal voice, and then make up a line about a passenger being unstable and requiring immediate stabilisation or something that an AI assistant could say to a person. You can modulate these to sound a little more robotic, but it's also fine if you don't! As a guide, try to have a neutral accent- American or British newsreader type vibes. Keep your intonation as neutral as possible too.

If you can also hold a tune (it doesn't have to be top notch singing!) then please let me know! I'll need choral vocals at some point for a hymn-like background piece, and I'd like it to sound like a church congregation rather than a fully-trained choir.

6-10 people who can sing in a choral/hymnal style. All voice types welcome. These people will be the ones heard over the congregation, so it would be best if you have training or even experience as a choir member! Of course, clear audio is preferred, but if you have a really good voice that shines through the awful mic, I think I can work with that HAHAHA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsQQRZaTerE at 0.90 speed as a guide. If you are comfortable harmonising, please do so! This one sounds a bit too happy, so if you can sound melancholic, that'll be cool. If not, don't worry about it HAHA

That is the song I'll be using. Please use the second verse (all the saints adore thee) so that I can see how everyone sounds together! Further direction will be provided nearer the time, if required.

If you want to sing, but are auditioning for a speaking role too, put your singing here and your speaking role in the other audition form and vice versa. Just write a little saying whether you are more comfortable singing or speaking!

I may pay people for this, though it may not be much (i have very little money), mainly because I am looking for more experienced people.

With the background song, I want there to be phases. In the start, I would like childlike voices (to highlight the innocence of those left behind), which then progress into young people and then into adults until everybody is singing at once.

For the childlike voices, it would be best if you can hold a tune because you will be singing without the overpowering adult voices. This also calls for decent audio quality- or at least very good noise suppression. Please make sure your audio isn't fuzzy! Don't worry about harmonising. (getting real untrained children to harmonise is difficult, let's be realistic HAHAH) Due to the nature of the project, please be 16+.

For young and grown adult voices, once again, don't worry about harmonising- just sing the melody! If I think you'd make for good harmony, I'll let you know, and I will personally direct you, since I have a specific vision in mind.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsQQRZaTerE at 0.90 speed. Only the second verse (all the saints adore thee) specifically, since I wish to hear how people's voices sound together!

This is specifically for unexperienced singers, since I am trying to recreate the sound of a congregation here- not a choir. Direction for this role and the choir role will be different because of this!
