Ghost Quartet (Singers, Artists, and Animators/Video Editors Needed)

Project Overview

Welcome to the audition page for Ghost Quartet! I'm glad you've found your way here.

I have discovered this sung-through musical pretty recently and have fallen in love with it.  As far as I am concerned, I don't believe anyone else has made a project for it, so I thought I would make one to find other fans to participate and/or introduce this lovely hidden gem to others with their participation. I'd love to make a virtual musical out of it, but I'll need some help from all you lovely and talented people. I am doing this for fun, so all positions that are open are strictly volunteer. No payment is being given to anyone for being involved in this project. All roles and positions are open at this time. Before you go off and audition, there are a few rules:

  1. 1. Content: This is a show that has many mature themes. So before you audition, PLEASE READ A SYNOPSIS, LISTEN TO THE CAST RECORDING IN ITS ENTIRETY, OR TALK TO ME ABOUT WHAT THIS SHOW ENTAILS. I would really prefer not to recast someone because they found issues with the content after casting has been made. There is no set age limit, but I ask if anyone interested in this production who is not yet in high school/under the age of 15 please make sure that they can handle the intensity within this musical.
  2. 2. Communication/Commitment: If you want to be involved in this project, please either have or make a Discord. It's really easy to use and it helps me keep everything in one spot, rather than a million different places. Also, you don't have to be around all the time, but please make an effort to the role you audition for, and perhaps be given in the casting process. If you're struggling with this, please contact me.
  3. 3. Mic Quality/Audition Procedure: The mic quality I don't care about as much, but try to make your audition sound the best it can with the equipment you have currently. For the actual audition (because I want to focus on hearing your lovely voices and vocal abilities), I ask that you all audition by singing acapella or singing to a track with headphones in so I can't hear the track in the recording. This way I can focus on just you and not your ability to mix vocals with a backing track.
  4. 4. Attitude: Please be nice to each other. it's vulnerable to put yourself out there during an audition, and a negative environment makes it even worse. Also, how you treat others here WILL affect your own casting. Even if you have the best audition, if I see you being rude or negative to other people's auditions and work, you will NOT be cast. Period. No one wants to work with a jerk.
  5. 5. Experience: I'm definitely looking for people strong and confident in their abilities. For roles specifically, I want people who are able to act and sing. If you're new for any of these, give it a try! If you're nervous at all because you're new to VA/singing/creative side, please reach out to me. I started just about a year ago using CCC, so I understand how overwhelming it can be to someone new. I'm also still discovering and experimenting with the director role on this site, and I want to give everyone an equal opportunity.
  6. 6. HAVE FUN!!!! This is really important, I want you to be proud of the work you put up here, and feel you did your best, and had some fun too.

The date that I am closing auditions officially is February 16th, 2021 or when all roles are filled (whichever comes first).

Please feel free to audition for any role! Gender-bending auditioning is completely allowed and encouraged.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know, and I'll be happy to address them. Otherwise, if everything above makes sense and you want to be apart of this project, please come and audition! Break a leg to everyone, and I'm excited to see what you bring to the table!

Latest Updates

  • Discord Server

    Hello all! Now that the cast has been finalized I have created a Discord server. It is open to the cast and crew, as well as everyone who wants to keep updated with the project and see where it goes! I loved hearing everyone's auditions! :) Here is the link: https://discord.gg/wcjWjwNz ~Rose
  • Re-Opening Auditions

    Hello all! Alright with everything going on I have decided to let everybody re-audition or have new people audition as the project has been dormant for quite some time due to my personal life. If you still have an interest I would love to hear your voices since we're probably all a little bored with the pandemic going on. I once again apologize for the lack of communication. I hope you all are doing well and I can't wait to hear everyone's beautiful voices. If there are any questions please feel free to send me a private message. Have a lovely day and break some legs! :) ~Rose
  • Casting Update

    Hello everyone following Ghost Quartet! I hope everyone is doing well. I'd like to start off with an apology for the in-activeness of this project. I unfortunately had a lot of major and drastic changes in my life, and I had to step away from Casting Call Club, including this project. I apologize for my lack of communication. While I am still taking time to recover, I wanted to let everyone know that this project is still happening! It just won't be as soon as I was hoping. Because I had eight very talented people audition, I have decided to make two sets of quartets with all the auctioneers. So congratulations, you are all going to be cast! As what roles? That I am still deciding, but I am hoping to figure that out soon so that while I am sorting through my life you can take a look at who you will be and be all prepared for when this project is ready to start up again. With all this being said, if anyone has lost interest and/or believes they can no longer be a part of this project, please private message me letting me know you no longer want to be considered. I completely understand, and there will be no hard feelings. Otherwise, I hope to let everyone know who they will be in one of the two Ghost Quartets! Thank you so much for your time, talents, and patience. Stay spooky and I look forward to working with you soon. ~ Rose
