Lost Melody - A Voice Acted, Musical Gacha Series
Project Overview
INTRODUCTION OF 'LOST MELODY'
After a lengthy hiatus away from the entertainment industry due to unsaid reasons, you'd think restarting the path to fame and fortune doing the thing she loved would be preferable, right?
Well, that isn't the case for former internet sensation, Melodie. Instead, setting off to an art college in Noira Falls to pursue her studies instead of maintaining her presence in the media was her choice of action.
Little did she know, what would become of that decision would be something she never expected... and all that she had buried would rise to face her once more.
WHAT WE REQUIRE:
- MINIMAL BACKGROUND NOISES are acceptable, but absolutely NO ECHOS (Record under a blanket, in your closet, anything you gotta do to reduce it)
- CLEAR, COHERABLE ENUNCIATION, I'd like to be able to hear and understand what you say clearly without any mispronounciations.
- ON-TIME LINE SUBMISSIONS, if you fail to submit your lines before the given deadline, you will be given a strike. Three strikes, your role will be recasted. (Don't worry though you'll get around 2 weeks worth of time to complete your lines)
- RESPECT AND DO NOT UNDERMINE OTHERS INVOLVED IN THIS PRODUCTION, don't get in the way or insult anyone's creations. Constructive criticism is alright, but do not boast your achievements or downplay others'.
- BE PASSIONATE & HAVE FUN - a half-hearted delivery is the last thing I want, so truly try your best to embody the character, and make something you'd even enjoy!

Thank you so so much everyone for auditioning!! The time has come to sort through your auditions, and you can expect the cast to be decided in 24 hours. Have a good day!
"Melodie has spent most of her life living in luxurious privacy, therefore lacking social skills. She's bluntly honest, and tries to put up a façade of a cold, unfriendly girl, but eventually breaks it because its not who she is. She's genuine and caring towards the people of her choice, others face a more intimidating side of her."
I'm looking for someone who can accurately present the cold armour she puts on towards the world, but also her vulnerability with her loved ones.
Voice qualities: Relatively low, composed (except when she's iritated), venomously sarcastic when needed.
[Sarcastic] "No, no. Walking into a stranger’s home and being ear raped by haunting metal is definitely pleasant."
"Well, at least there’s one nice guy."
(Upset) "But, I don’t know, Jackie. I don’t think I’ll belong here. Someone even told me that today."
(Losing her temper, slamming on the table) "Alright! I don’t know what the hell is going on here, but neither of you are going to be watching me eat!"
Range: Alto, Mezzo soprano
20-30 seconds of How It All Works Out - Faouzia
Sing any song of your choice!!
"Shae is basically a huge dork and musical fanatic. Naturally friendly and possessing his own warm charm, he ends up becoming Mel's first friend at Noira Falls Arts. Although he's enthusiastic and calm most of the time, he tends to be threatening when defending Melodie."
What's needed is a shining, warm voice, not necessarily raspy or too hyper.
Voice qualities: Medium to low, enthusiastic, dramatic, awkward when embarrassed.
(Faking sadness) "And you had to offend me so many times… Mhm. Or it could be that my warmth finally got through to you.."
"Oh, please excuse me. I didn’t think that someone who bullies and threatens newcomers on their first day would want to repent so quickly."
(Nervous, embarrassed) "Melodie!! I- uh, I- H-hey! You can’t just make a statement like that and leave!!"
Range: Tenor, baritone
(Im sorry, I don't have much singing experience but I'm basically looking for a very enthusiastic singing voice)
20-30 seconds of Share Your Address - Ben Platt
20-30 seconds of If I Fail You, Starkid's Black Friday
Sing any song of your choice!!
Range: Mezzo soprano, soprano
(I'm honestly just looking for someone with more singing capability than me, but if there isn't anyone I'll just cast myself since I'm already voicing Camilla)
20-30 seconds of All Eyes On Me - OR3O
Sing any song of your choice!!
"Having raised Melodie since she was an infant, Jackie is a mother figure which Mel loves dearly and turns to for support with every obstacle she faces. Jackie is an intelligent, intuitive and kind woman."
An aged, tired but sweet voice filled with wisdom and maternal love is what I'm looking for.
Voice qualities: Medium to low, tired but still happy when talking to Melodie.
"I know that tone. What’s really going on, Mel? I knew my instincts were right when they told me to call you…"
"Hey. Don’t you worry, you’re always here in my heart. And as long as you believe it, I’m there with you, too."
"As Melodie's older brother, despite constantly poking fun at her, he truly does care for his sister and tends to prioritize her as well as share his wisdom with her. Melodie admires the intelligent, witty and cool persona of her brother."
Maybe an overall laid-back, raspy but kind voice.
Voice qualites: High to medium, goofy, slightly serious when giving advice.
"Dumbass. They don’t have the right to define you, and I don’t either. You decide for yourself and take action if you want to be happy or not."
"Ugh, you weigh tons! Must be all those twix bars."
"Jeanette, now a social media influencer, was a distant cousin Melodie grew up with. Her persona is of a bubbly, happy-go-lucky girl devoted to her fans- and also her make up products. But once the audience's eyes and cameras are off her, she's a tad bit distant and cold, especially towards Melodie. She harbours hatred towards Melodie to this day."
Her voice doesn't have an immediate change, but I'd like to hear a slight shift in tone when she talks casually compared to talking to an audience.
Voice qualities: Medium to high, peppy, realistically fake kindness.
"Hiya there guys! Oh my gosh, take a look! I'm here today with Melodie! Internet-famous singer! You guys know her right??"
"I'm here to see Jackie. What the hell are you going to do about it?"
"Oh, I'm sorry!! Was I invading your personal space? Aw, but my fans would love to see you!"
20-30 seconds of All You Wanna Do (from Six The Musical)
Sing any song of your choice!!
“A close childhood friend of Shae’s, and also a core member of his band. Fun, jokey and very passionate about what she loves.”
Voice qualities: Medium to High, slight rasp (optional), energetic and fast-talking.
“Melodie, right? Where ya from? …And why are you so gosh dang pretty??”
“Pff- What did I do? You’re the one being creepy with your mediocre pick-up lines..”
"Also a part of Shae's band on electric guitar, Kal is a carefree, chill and jokey person."
Voice Quality: Medium to high, raspy, sounds like a rock singer.
"Whoah, who's this chick?!"
"Sheeeesh. She sure is a looker, but good luck dealing with that, bro. Haha!"
(Winking, jokingly flirty) "No problem, Ice Cube. The name’s Beanie. Call me anytime."
Voice qualitites: Medium to low, cold.
(Sighing, upset) "Are you really seeing other girls now?"
"You literally abandoned us for this date that you're on! You know what, we're done."
Just looking for a handful of extras, feel free to send in your demo reels ^^
Teacher: "Oh, you and your band... Here's your number, now head backstage."
Kal: "Drop the act. We should be asking you that."
Fel: "You heard her!! Can't you see that she's had enough of not being able to trust you?!"
I'm looking for someone to oversee and manage most parts of this production, and to tend to it when I'm absent. Deadlines, the state of the cast members, breaking of the rules, its up to you to handle it.
So I would like you to write two brief, formal essays and imagine this:
- You need to fire someone for their inappropriate behavior and their inability to listen to their superiors. How would you break it to them?
- You'd like to quit a project because of school and lack of time or motivation. How would you explain it?

Looking for some talented artists!! Share a link to your creations ^^ More than one person may be hired...

Since this series is clearly involved in the musical department, someone to supply the backing tracks for the singers is terribly needed. Looking for someone who can remake the backing tracks for pop songs, rock songs, and classical songs accurately. Also to help mix the songs!
