Hydra- A Love Live! OC Cover Group
Project Overview
Hi there everyone! Lucky Punch here!
Before doing anything, please go to our Master Information Document (linked below) for all of the information you could ever need on Hydra, FoRce-FLY, crew members, and side-characters.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i5IwpDMbNqWdUFWAhMFY5l7vVHq5xzhYtUbHuZFszkY/edit
- 1. Be kind to everyone! Do not be cruel or harsh to someone just because you didn't like their audition. If you are caught saying or doing anything hurtful, you will not be considered for this project, and Dia will give you a big "Bu Bu Desu Wa" :(
- 2. Only audition if you are willing to work long-term. It is 100% understandable if life gets in the way, but please do not audition if you are planning on not taking this seriously or plan on quitting. Again, if life happens, as it always does, you are more than welcome to take a leave or drop out, if it comes to that, so don't feel pressured to stay if you cannot.
- 3. Be honest! Don't steal auditions or link work that isn't your own. We have seen it happen before, and it does not end well. You'll get caught in the end anyway, so why even try?
- 4. You must have an active Discord account or be willing to download one, as Discord will be our main way to communicate. If you are new to Discord, download links and beginner's guides are available at the bottom of the Master Information document.
- 5. As mentioned in the Master Info Doc, this will be a voice acting and singing project. So be ready to do both!
When you are logged in, you can comment, add submissions, create projects, upvote, search open roles, and way more. Login here.

Alyssa Montgomery is a Junior at Oakwood Academy, and the long-time best friend to Skyler. Alyssa forms the school idol club at Oakwood with Skyler because she felt it was her duty to support her best friend (and, of course, to pursue her secret passion of being a performer). Alyssa is known as one of most loyal and stubborn students at Oakwood Academy, and she enjoys photography and baking in her free time.
Sing at least 1 minute (60 seconds) of any song in existence in English. Please sing your audition song in your natural voice. There are no voice references for these characters for a reason: so you can truly express your true voice and sing you heart out. No off vocal is required. You may choose to put one or not, it will not affect the decision of the casting directors.
Voice-act the following lines in whatever voice you see fit for the character: 1. "I was this timid girl, shoved into a whole new system. I felt this nonstop impression of loneliness and the sense of being misplaced in the world. After a while, I learned to cope with those feelings.. But still, all around me there was laughter, joy, friendship... Things I had nearly forgotten. That's when I discovered music. It was the loveliest and most peculiar thing, and it temporarily filled in the hole in my heart. And suddenly, I had someone to share it with! Meeting Skyler and discovering music gave me the courage to find my place and understand what the true meaning of being an idol really meant."2. "Lance, I don't know why the hell you're laughing right now. Human Anatomy is a serious subject, and should be taken seriously. No buts! Do you understand that the football team may kick you out if you fail this class? Oh, really? Then would you prefer to be a benchwarmer? That's right. Now hit the books or there will be consequences."

1. “Isn’t that the point of it all? Being a school idol does not necessarily mean that you love being in front of people or being the center of attention. Being a school idol means that you truly love to bring a smile to someone’s face...and being able to perform while doing it...well...that's just a happy coincidence.”
2. "Wait, what?! Lance and myself? Together? W-what?! N-n-no! Lance is with Kayla...not me! D-don’t spread rumors!”

Marley is a Sophomore at Oakwood Academy, and the half-sister of Skyler Carson. Marley became Skyler's half-sister several years before Hydra began after Skyler's parents had a tragic accident. Marley has always loved the arts, as she spends most of her free time drawing and singing, but has never had the confidence to show off any of her work. She keeps quiet around people she isn't comfortable around, and she keeps a kid-like persona to her that makes everyone smile.

1. "Ah! Don't read that! My diary has private information that is not yours to read! Wait, what? No! Of course there is nothing erotic in there. T-that's disgusting!"
2. "I remember the first few days Skyler lived at our house...he was pretty quiet and he stayed in his room most of the time. I couldn't help but feel kind of bad, but it had been almost four months since his parents...well...you know. It was heartbreaking to see him crumble down like that, but then he found out about school idols and pretty soon he was dancing and singing all over the place. I may not love the idea of being an idol, but I do love Skyler, so I decided to join him on his journey."

John has been known by "Bright" his entire life, even by his parents. His parents had always loved the name Bright, but named him John after John Lennon (Mrs. Brighton's favorite singer of all time). Well, actually, Bright's real name isn't John nor Bright. When Bright was two months old, he was given up for adoption in a small, Siberian city. Bright was soon adopted by his current parents in Los Angeles, and has lived there his entire life. Bright currently attends Oakwood Academy as a Sophomore, and he is one of the best runners in their Track and Field program.

Voice-act the following lines in whatever voice you see fit for the character:
1. "Go away. No, I don't want to be an idol. Why? Because being an idol is dumb. All they do is prance around a stage, singing about their dreams that'll never come true and pet unicorns while dancing like they're all a bunch of elderly Zumba instructors. It's pathetic."
2. *in his mind* "Mom...I forgave you for giving me away a long time ago, but the wound has never truly healed. I'm still trying to figure out why you ever had me if you couldn't take care of me, but I guess what's done is done. Life over here isn't so bad, there are some decently nice people trying to get me to become an idol, and, I don't know, maybe I should. What do you think I should do? Just...show me a sign. Anything. Thanks, mom. I love you."

Lance is a senior at Oakwood Academy who has been at the high school since his Junior year. As one of the captain's of the Varsity Football Team, Lance is extremely popular among his classmates and, as a result, parties quite a bit. Lance, prior to Hydra, was heavily involved in illegal alcohol and cigarette use that his "friends" and girlfriend pressured him into doing. After getting in some hot water with the police during a raging party, Lance was faced with suspension and the punishment with having to join one club at school that would have a positive effect on his well-being. Obviously, he chose the school idol club. In his free time, Lance enjoys American Football and eating pizza. Only pizza. He loves pizza.

1. "It isn't like that, Principal Duncan! Kayla and I weren't making out behind the gym we are just...um...using the same bathroom. Wait! No, that sounded bad. Forget what I just said. We weren't making out or using the bathroom. Get it?"
2. "I'm not happy here anymore, Skyler. I feel like I'm Atlas, you know, from Greek mythology? Holding up the weight of the world, and all that. I feel like I need something to take that load off, but what? All my friends, my team, and Kayla, they're all counting on me! I can't just let them down! But I can't make myself unhappy at the expense of others anymore. UGH! It's just so frustrating!"

1. "The wind...the trees...the birds soaring in the sky...I just can't see why some people despise the outdoors. It has always brought so much joy and peace to me. But nature isn't always so tranquil and beautiful, so I suppose I understand their feelings. Still, like anything else, you shouldn't give up on it just because it scares you."
2. "I remember how my grandmother would bake these delicious apple pies during the winter. The warm, soft feeling of the pie in your stomach always warmed me on the coldest days. It's funny...something so simple as pie can bring someone so much joy, and the memories can bring so much nostalgia."

Managers are not allowed to be other crew members (like mixers, video creators), but any singers or artists are welcome to audition. Typical things you may do as manager can include making calendars and deadlines, keeping up with deadlines, helping Lucky manage the members and songs, or promote the group when new work is released. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on Discord or e-mail me. Links to my Discord and my e-mail are in the Master Info Doc (linked below).

Crew members are encouraged to audition as backups to minimize the amount of people cast in this project. Hydra and FoRce-FLY members may not be backup characters, but you are free to audition for a member of the two main idol groups and the backups if you wish. Keep in mind that you may only be cast as one, not in both.
