Overwatch: "Tank You" (Musical)
Project Overview
Hello! I need about 9 to 10 actors/singers for an Overwatch Themed album. For those of you unfamiliar, Overwatch is a team based first person shooter video game. There are 32 characters, and 8 of them are categorized as "Tanks." Due to their ability to shield their team from damage and protect them. Tanks do NOT get enough love from the community even though they're arguably the most important part of the team. So, I made an album with 8 songs, each of which is from the point of view of one of the tanks. This is where you come in! (Ya know, if you're cast and such.) I need people to not just impersonate, but EMBODY these heroes that Blizzard has brought to life through this video game I love a lot. Oh, and I need you to sing while doing it.
So here's how the audition process will work:
I've linked a youtube video of me singing each of the songs. Be warned: My singing is kinda bad in some parts (especially the songs that are out of my range) but hey that's why YOU'RE here, right? To cover it better! Your audition will consist of you singing a section of your song so I know you can sing, reading off a little bit of dialogue so I know you can act and impersonate the character, and then submitting a 30ish second cover of any song you want so I know you can layer your voice on top of external audio. Lyrics for all songs should be in the description of their respective video, AND the instrumental version of the song will play after the version with the lyrics is done. If you have any questions about this process just let me know: I can be contacted on this casting site, but also by email at solomontroupe @gmail.com and by discord: skymin1446#7821. I will probably close casting two weeks from now (June 7th), but if casting closes sooner don't be surprised. I like to move quickly with these kinds of projects. Also, each of these roles are set to be paid at $5 USD (not including whatever cut the money sharing provider decides to take from the transaction.)
Anyway, again, contact me if you have any questions and please audition! I'd like to have as many options as possible for this project! Stay healthy during this whole quarantine thing!

Reinhardt is a boisterous and confident leader, with a giant shield and an even bigger hammer! He protects his team from damage and smacks the hell out of his opponents. He has a low voice and a thick german accent. Everything he says is very animated. To get a good feel of what he sounds like, watch some of this video:
And his song is here:
(Please sing ((or really more like rap)) the following from his song:)
Get behind me!
Gather round!
My shield’s up

Please insert 30 seconds of a cover of any song you want. Preferably an instrumental track with your singing layered on top of it.
Please read the following, trying your best to sound like Reinhardt:
Ana! Oh how I have missed you. How are you my lady? Is Pharah holding up well? Hahaha! Your little one was always a fighter. She must get it from her mother! Hahahaha! Now, onwards my friend! To victory! We must attack the objective!
D.VA is a pro gamer who livestreams her combat missions. She rides in a giant mechanical robot suit and harasses the enemy team. She's also one of (if not THE MOST) sexualized overwatch character. So, her lyrics are gonna reflect that. Her voice is high pitched-ish and she has a slight korean accent. To get a better understanding of how she sounds, watch some of this video:
And her song is located here:
Note: You may also use a slight vocoder on her voice if you wanna sound a little more like she does when she's in her mech.
(Please sing ((or really more like rap)) the following from her song:)

Ugh! These hackers are such noobs! Like, if you're gonna aimbot you might was well be subtle about it. Reeeeported! GG. This is why I'm stuck in bronze. Yo, team: GET SOME KILLS!!!!
Zarya is the world's strongest woman. She has a deep hatred for omnics (robots) because they destroyed her country, and she vows to protect her loved ones from their attack. Her voice is low and she has a thick Russian accent. To get a better idea of what she sounds like, listen to the following link:
And her song is here:
IMPORTANT NOTE: The entire thing should be sung up an octave!!!! I cant hit the notes so I sung it way lower than I intend for the final project. Unless you sing it low and it sounds really good, please try to sing it higher.
(Please sing ((or really more like singspeak)) the following from her song:)
I’m powered up!
Don’t try and push your luck.
Your frontline really sucks. >:/
And, yes, I know it’s only game to you
But it’s no game for two.
Watch out am coming through!
Defend my country now!
My barriers
Will carry us
To victory!
I aim, I brawl, I KILL.
You fire at will.
FIRE AT WILL!
Alexandra Zarya
Means "dont fuck with Russia
Unless you’re ready to face a graviton surge!"
I’ll end you immediate.
Your health pool? Depleted.
And if you’re an omnic; prepare for purge!
Please insert 30 seconds of a cover of any song you want. Preferably an instrumental track with your singing layered on top of it.
Please read the following, trying your best to sound like Zarya:
My day starts and ends with physical training. Somewhere in the middle of that I do more physical training. And then, when i'm done physically training, I go back to some more physical training. Do you know how heavy my gun is? I must be strong. Not just for me, but for Russia.
Roadhog is a madmax style bruiser. He uses his hook and massive body to intimidate enemies. His voice is VERY low and is somewhat muffled by the gas mask he wears. To understand what he sounds like, watch this video:
And his song is here:
Important Note: His "song" is mostly just speaking dialogue on beat so uh...you don't have to be a super good singer to audition, really.
(Please sing ((or really more like rap)) the following from his song:)
I’m not a big talker.
Your bacon’s gonna fry.
No need for conversation.
Just hook, shoot. And die.

Please insert 30 seconds of a cover of any song you want. Preferably an instrumental track with your singing layered on top of it. Bonus points if the song is rap-like instead of melodic.
Please read the following, trying your best to sound like Roadhog:
….shut up.

….get over here!
….die.
Junkrat is a madmax style maniac. He's absolutely crazy and only cares about 3 things: Money, EXPLOSIONS, and Roadhog.. His voice is highish and annoying and throaty. To understand what he sounds like, watch this video:
And his song is here:
Important Note: His "song" is mostly just speaking dialogue on beat so uh...you don't have to be a super good singer to audition, really. Especially since he only sings in one part actually, AND its supposed to be bad. But hey if your falsetto is really good surprise me lol.

Sigma was one of Overwatch's most brilliant scientists...untill there was a freak accident and he went crazy. To know what he sounds like, watch the following video:
And his song can be found here:
(Please sing the following from his song:)
What is that melody?
What is that awful sound?
Is it hope rising up?
Or falling to the ground?
The universe...
Is calling me…!
Infinity...
Divinity…!
My hyper spheres
Will set you free.
Feel...my GRAVITY!
I’m an enigma, enigma...
Sigma, oh Sigma.
Please insert 30 seconds of a cover of any song you want. Preferably an instrumental track with your singing layered on top of it. Bonus points if the song is low and melodic.
Please read the following, trying your best to sound like Sigma:
The universe is an illusion. The quantifiable data we posess and observe pales in comparison to the vast obscurity that is our galactic resolve. Thus through this quandary it can only be asserted that the solution to our delusion... is nihilism....c-can you hear that music? Fall....FALL!
Here's what she sounds like:
And here's her song:
Important Notes: The whole thing's supposed to be sung an octave higher. My voice can't reach those notes so I sung it really low, but if you're a girl it'll probably be really easy to sing in that range instead of the really low one.
(Please sing the following from her song:)
I’ve learned from all of the best;
My skills to the test.
You’ll see what I mean.
Doomfist!!
I’m here to defend.
Your chaos will end!
OR15!
Numbani,
My city,
I’ll save you
For Eife!
Numbani,
"Harmony",
Orisa
Will love thee. <3

The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start!
Here's what he sounds like: (his robot voice talks for him, so emulate THAT, not the squeaks that the hamster makes)
And here's the song:
Important notes: You're probably gonna have to modulate your voice quite a bit for the very low robot voice, HOWEVER: for the actual sining of the song you can use your natural singing voice. That's why this role is open to both male and females. You'll also notice that this whole song is a parody of the "Perry the Platypus" theme from Phineas and Ferb. Try to have that same energy when singing. A link to that song is here:
(Please sing the following from his song:)
He’s a semi-robotic
Mine-spreading mammal of action!
He’s a furry little genius
Who’ll make you waste your cooldowns.
He’s got more than just mad tilt.
He’s got a robot suit and a shield.
And the healers groan whenever they hear him say…
---
He’s Hammond!
Hammond the Wrecking Ball!
Hammond!
Wrecking- B…!

Here's what his voice sounds like:
Here's the song:
(Please sing the following from his song:)
So jump into battle and level the plane.
I will not let Overwatch disband in vain!
I’ll do it for Genji, for Tracer, for Mei!
For Harold!
For Winston!
I know, I know...
We’ve got a long way to go.
But I have hope!
I have hooope!!
Because
The world could use more heroes!
So that’s just what i’ll do.
I said the world could use more heroes!
It needs me
And it needs you!

Thirty years ago, the Omnics declared war. The nations of the world had no answer, until they called upon a small group of heroes. Overwatch was created to rescue humanity from the Omnic Crisis. We became the greatest champions of peace and progress mankind has ever seen! You were chosen because you had powers and abilities that made you— You joined because you... You already know this... Look, the people decided they were better off without us. They even called us criminals! They tore our family apart. But look around! Someone has to do something! We have to do something! We can make a difference again. The world needs us now, more than ever! Are you with me?
