Love U my friends Fan Cover - Love Live! PDP
Project Overview
Hello, and thank you for showing interest in my upcoming cover project, which is a fandub of the song, "Love U my friends" by Nijigasaki High School Idol Club from the Love Live! franchise! Thanks to a very talented Youtuber, I have obtained the off vocal for this song and, as soon as I got it, knew I had to arrange a group cover for it! For this project, I am seeking eight talented vocalists, one to two video editors, and a mix master! In order to audition, please take into account the prerequisites below for your desired role!
VOCALISTS:
- Please be able to sing in Japanese. As this cover will be in Japanese, it is imperative to know proper pronunciation and how to sing in the language.
- Please have a decent quality microphone to record with. Your microphone does not necessarily have to be an expensive one, but it must prove to have quality good enough to mix without compromising the dynamics of your voice.
- Please be as punctual as possible regarding deadlines. Being able to turn in your part in a timely fashion is vital to the process, as it will be very helpful to the mixers and animators in completing their part of the project.
- Please do not audition for a character if you feel your voice will strain trying to sing as her. Although this cover will not be searching for canon impressions of the girls, I will still be searching for vocalists who sound similar to the characters. For example, if you have a deeper voice, consider auditioning for a character like Karin or Setsuna, whereas if your voice is higher, consider auditioning for a character like Emma or Rina.
- Follow the directions and notes on the role(s) you wish to audition for. Failure to consider the notes and directions provided for each character will decrease your likelihood of being cast.
- Please submit your audition with no effects or backing tracks. You may use an instrumental to keep in time while recording, if you wish. However, please do not mix it with your raw vocals. Any auditions that are auto-tuned, have effects applied, or have instrumental tracks in the background will not be considered.
MIXERS:
- Please be able to mix multiple voices. As you will be needing to mix nine vocalists' tracks (as well as backing vocals and, possibly, harmonies), it is imperative to be well versed in how to use mixing software.
- You will be responsible for mixing and mastering the tracks. I will take care of timing and tuning the tracks, so knowledge and experience with auto-tune is not required to audition. Therefore, you will be responsible for knowing at least basic mixing components (compression, eq, limiter, etc) and knowing how to keep an equal balance among the vocals.
VIDEO EDITORS:
- Please be able to edit lyrics, visuals, and effects in your videos. Chorus-battle style animation is preferred, but color-coded is also acceptable.
With all prerequisites per role listed, a universal prerequisite is that all people auditioning must have/be willing to create an account on Discord. Discord will be our main hub for communication, file sharing, and updates, so it is imperative to have an account. Please provide your username with your audition, if possible. Otherwise, I will message you and ask for your username if you are cast. If you have any further questions or inquiries, please feel free to send me a private message or leave a comment, and I'll help as much as possible! I'm very excited to work on this project, and cannot wait to see your auditions! :)

Bubbly and headstrong, Kasumi Nakasu is a first year and founder of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. Kasumi has had her heart set on becoming a school idol for as long as she can remember, and wants to become a school idol to participate in idol activities with a "senpai." Overly determined to be the number one school idol, Kasumi stops at nothing to get to her goal, even if it involves sabotaging or harming others. Despite her unstoppable desire to reach the top, Kasumi also has a softer side and cares for her friends, though she doesn't always show it. Kasumi's voice is high-pitched and sweet, and she has the most power in her mid to high tones. Kasumi has a voice that embodies the true spirit of an idol, so make sure to let that passion shine through in your singing!

Though shy and unable to express herself well, Rina Tennoji decides to join Nijigasaki High School Idol Club for the sake of her best friend, Ai Miyashita. Despite her inability to show her emotions through facial expressions, Rina conveys her feelings to her friends and fans using her "Rina-chan Board." This invention allows Rina to show facial expressions on either her sketchbook paper or on her electronic board during performances or when doing tasks that require both hands. Rina's voice is high-pitched and cutesy, with the most power being in her high tones. Rina's voice is a bit nasally, and is full of emotion. Remember: Rina cannot emote without her board and her voice, so make sure to let your emotions shine through when singing!

Setsuna Yuki is an enigmatic, legendary school idol. Unlike her fellow members of the Nijigasaki School Idol Club, Setsuna initiated her school idol career on her own accord, and she follows it very seriously. Many other students of Nijigasaki claim to have never seen Setsuna at school due to the fact that she takes school idol activities extremely seriously. Despite her mysterious aura, Setsuna is a very studious girl, who devotes all of her off time to her classes and studies. Setsuna is also very friendly, and would do anything to support those she cares for. Setsuna's voice has the most power in her mid to low tones, is extremely bold, and is a bit raspy.

Kind, innocent, and honest, Ayumu Uehara is seen by many as the "leading lady" in the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. Ayumu was encouraged to join the idol club by her childhood friend, and has earnestly worked to become a school idol. Ayumu is an amateur school idol and is very inexperienced in many fields. As such, Ayumu tends to get anxious easily when thinking about her capabilities, but is always supported and cheered on by the fellow club members. Ayumu has a very sweet, clear voice, and she has the most power in her mid to high tones. Though she is often nervous when taking the stage, Ayumu always performs from her heart, so make sure to keep this in mind when singing!

A high-octane girl, Ai is always full of energy and spunk. Ai is big-hearted, extremely friendly, and treats her neighbors as her family. Ai has a gyaru personality and, because of it, people assume she is rebellious or rude. That is the exact opposite of Ai's personality. Ai is a star student, good-natured, and sociable. She is also known for using puns in her everyday communications, to the annoyance of some others. In contrast to her sweet side, Ai is also known to be a bit too loud and commanding at times. Ai's voice sees the most strength in her mid-tones, and her voice has nasal and brightness to it. Keep in mind Ai's high-octane personality when singing, and try to match or exceed her energy!

Compared to her fellow idols at Nijigasaki, Karin is very mature and seductive for her age. Karin uses her adult-like appearance to come off as endearing to her peers, and uses her attitude and appearance to her advantage. Aside from her school idol work, Karin is a model and, despite her seductive personality, is actually quite childlike deep down. She tends to get nervous and flustered easily, but, overall, is able to keep up her mature personality very well. Karin has the most power in her low tones, and, overall, has a deep, smooth voice full of intrigue.

Always sleepy and relaxed, Kanata Konoe is a third-year of the Nijigasaki School Idol Club. She is often found napping in her "secret spots" around the high school, and is so lethargic that she seems to be asleep even when she is awake and aware of her surroundings. Although she is often asleep, Kanata is a very diligent student and a skilled chef. She is vert devoted to being a school idol and says one of her biggest motivations is "to someday take a nap with her audience members during a live show." Kanata's voice is very soft and dreamlike, with the most power in her low to mid tones. Kanata's voice is clear and calm, and is so soft that it sounds like she could fall asleep at a moment's notice!

PLEASE NOTE: I am likely to cast 1-2 video editors for this project, depending on if a support animator is needed. In this instance, please keep an eye on your direct messages if auditioning for this role, as I cannot cast more than one person from the project page.
Video editors will be expected to make one video for the full cover once the mix is complete. Videos done in the style of "chorus-battle animations" are preferred and will increase your likelihood of being cast, but "color-coded" style videos are also an acceptable video format. To audition, please attach two or more examples of videos that are either "chorus-battle" style or "color-coded" style that you have previously created.
Say something you think would fit
Mix masters will be required to mix the vocals and the instrumental, as well as master the final track. With this being said, you will not be responsible for auto-tuning or timing the vocals with the instrumental track, so skills in those fields are not required to audition. To audition, please attach 2 or more mixes that you have worked on in the past. If you were not the only person who mixed your attached mixes, please state which parts of the mix you completed.
