Hello there! My name is Danny, and I am a huge fan of this fanfic written by the amazing Alexandrite Ward: https://www.fimfiction.net/user/Alexandrite+Ward
They let me do this and I am so grateful. Anyways~
This will have a lot of characters, for the fanfic has a lot of characters. There are a lot of background characters, so you have a big chance.
The only things that are necessary are a good mic and a good singing voice(those characters that do sing)
Another thing: The story is a little bit "risque" to say. If you are uncomfortable with anything dealing with sexual reference, please do not audition.
Here's the fanfic itself: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/81050/the-opera-phantom-discord
Of course, the cast will be credited in the videos.
If you have any questions, connect me as crashlanding12 on Skype.
CANCELLED FOR NOW
Alright... So.... If I don't get enough auditions, I'll be moving onto a new project. Being that I have a few days, I would like for all those that audition or have been thinking about auditioning to tell someone about it or audition.
Very important part. Calm speaking voice. Serious. Maybe a little sarcastic Even during any "risque" moments.
"The two figures dressed in simple peasant clothes gazed up at the massive cathedral, Notre Mane. One of the figures, a young mare, stared at the rose window in fascination, watching the sun hit the glass, causing a rainbow of colors to illumine the pavement below. The other figure, a stallion who was entering the winter of his life, smiled at the filly next to him."
"He didn't want to look at her. This was the part he always hated. He was a stallion with needs like any other, and when he needed release from the cravings of the flesh, he knew exactly where to find them. The city was littered with prostitutes who were willing to do far more than he had asked of this mare. However, he wanted to keep the encounters as brief as possible."
"The elegant carriage pulled up in front of the Opera House, causing several ponies on the street to stop and whisper amongst themselves. The driver quickly jumped down from his seat to open the door for the carriage's occupant. Several mares who were walking stopped and stared at the figure that arose from the carriage; those who were holding fans immediately began to rapidly fan themselves."
French accent is a must. She's described as "a crow who struts like a peacock" so if that helps you decide how to speak as her... Good.
(screeching/yelling) "I WILL DO AS I PLEASE WHEN I PLEASE, AND I WILL SPEAK AS I PLEASE! Now tell me…what is going on?"
(whimpering) "W-w-why then do you care about w-who she is…"
(fake sweetness)"I have decided I will allow you to continue being my costume pony," "What a smart little thing you are..."
A little sassy sometimes, but otherwise exactly like the show. Reminder: I may cast myself for this role.
(Different emotions, mostly worry should be shown) "Have I greatly displeased you? What have I done that has caused you to avoid me at all costs and keep our rehearsals at a bear minimum? I…I don't want to fight you. But…I do want to understand why this change. A week ago, everything was wonderful. We…we went to the opera together and it was a magical night! But the next day…everything was different. Is it my voice? Have you grown tired of my voice–"
(Yelling) "PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT DISCORD! PUT ME DOWN! I swear Discord, if you do not release me, I'll tear up your music and never sing again!"
Sing either Think of Me or the female part of The Point of No Return
As close to the show. Very rude, arrogant, and crude.
The mare in the golden gown…that was her. She was attempting to escape, I'm sure of it.(Angry) But the bastard… He stopped us and took her!
(Yelling) "SHE HAD NO CHOICE OF COURSE! SHE HAD BEEN CAUGHT, SHE HAD TO GO WITH HIM, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK SHE WENT WILLINGLY? WHAT MAKES YOU THINK SHE'D LEAVE WITH HIM INSTEAD OF ME IF SHE HAD THE CHOICE?"
"If my suspicions are correct, then Mademoiselle Fluttershy will return to us…however it won't be for some time, no doubt she will not be released till close to opening night."
The dance mistress of the Opera house. Voice should be as show accurate as possible. She is quite cold most of the time, but otherwise is like the show.
"Are you truly surprised? They have been in desperate need of a new violinist since…the rather surprising 'disappearance' of Monsieur Caramel…"
(trying to be serious, but is smiling) "Fleur de Lis was rehearsing and Mademoiselle Fluttershy was watching from behind the curtains. Apparently a stage hoof attempted to grab Mademoiselle Fluttershy, who side stepped him, causing him to run into a piece of scenery which nearly crushed the managers' beloved star."
(Happily) "Oh much better than that! He was suffering from a severe fever, but it has broken. The worst is over! And he did not have Consumption as we had feared. And… He is calling for you…"
As show accurate as possible. I don't mind if both Flim and Flam have a same voice actor.
(worried) "Monsieur, um…we have some matters of business to discuss with you. There have been some notes-"
"D-d-d-displeasure?"
As show accurate as possible. I don't mind if both Flim and Flam have a same voice actor.
"It appears Monsieur Time Turner is missing, and we are-"
"D-d-d-displeasure?"
As show accurate as possible.
(angry) "You nearly killed my beloved Fleur de Lis! You drunken lout! Apologize to her at once and then leave this place immediately!"
(worried) "Fleur De Lis, I must implore that I stay-"
Pretty much the same as the show, but stutters a lot.
"Yes…f-from the s-s-stories…that Rarity t-tells us…like the one w-with the hunchback…in the c-c-cathedral…"
(Shouted) "SHE'S AWAKE!"
Pretty much the same as the show, but a bit older.
"There, there. It's alright, you just startled her is all, she's not terrified of you…she won't hurt you…"
(grumbling) "I see that filly behavior is running rampant this evening,"
This character doesn't speak in the show, so feel free to interpret him anyway you want.
(yelling) "Derpy! Stop it at once! Please don't scream mademoiselle, you'll only frighten Derpy more!"
(angry) "My faith is not rubbish! How dare you-"
Same as the show, but she's a bit colder and meaner.
Unless you looked in a mirror as of late, that's all we're good for! And while the Master isn't as cursed as we are…he's not a…a 'normal' stallion…to pretend that he is would be horrible!"
(angry) "DON'T BELITTLE ME, SHORTROUND! You had best be worried about your own skin too! Without any threats from the Phantom, sooner or later ponies will not fear coming down here, and will find us!"
As close to the show as possible. Very sarcastic at times.
(Quietly) "Have I? If it is false hope, will you still look at me as you do now? Will you still love me?"
(Yelling) "DAMNATION MARE!I have shown you EVERYTHING! I have taken you through all my tunnels, you know practically every secret passageway of this theater! I have even shared my music and valued your opinions!"
Please sing either Music of the Night, or the male part of The Point of No Return
Fluttershy's father. I imagine his voice to be an older sounding Doctor Whooves.
(Yelling) "HELLO? CAN ANYONE HEAR ME? HELLO? I NEED HELP! I'M TRAPPED DOWN HERE-"
"Calm down my dear, you say that as though the stallion has done some great ill against us, when in truth, he has shown such loyal friendship."
"And this is my daughter Fluttershy, we have come with hopes that I may find a place in your orchestra, as I was just discussing with these gentlecolts. My daughter has a passion for singing and we were hoping that she may also find work in the chorus."
As show accurate as possible.
"I can't believe it…he actually spoke to you!"
"Oh no, Mama spoke with them, you are to be given a full day of rest tomorrow, and your father feels it is best that you go home now…he asked me to come and fetch you."
