Planting Melodies

Planting Melodies

Project Overview

PLEASE IGNORE THE DEADLINES, THESE ARE FOR UPCOMING PROJECTS THAT I HAVE EITHER YET TO WORK ON OR PRIORITIZE

Based on how much interest is in my projects that are currently open is where I shall focus my attention. As of right now, I probably will not begin work on this project or any of the others until New Years 2020 at the soonest.

Because of this, I will also be updating more and more information to this as time goes by. Anything that is important, such as an official deadline or starting of the project or adding of roles will be posted as an update and announced. (please forgive how all old the character images are, I shall update them in time)


Even if you don't have CCC you can audition via csrcreates (@) gmail (.) com - Just title the email "Audition for Planting Melodies" and mention the roles you are auditioning for, an alias to call you by, and please put the role's name in your file's title. OR you can send an audition to the CSR Creations server: https://discord.gg/Fv7mmWZ


This will be a mainly musical driven animation or animatic (depending on the help I can get). All the music will be from Emilie Autumn, mainly her album, Enchant; I will have my cast cover and transpose it. The story is in a fantasy setting and an amalgamation  of fairytales, mainly Rapunzel, Lady of Shalott, and Prince Lindworm.


Currently, I am not promising any money for this project, but I do hope that I will be able to. But as I do not know what the future holds, I will not say any prices.



Also, NO ONE NEEDS TO FAKE AN ACCENT. I know I put the accents in, but you honestly do not need to have any of the assign accents. Besides, I don't want to have only some people faking an accent and some without if not everyone can do it. Using your natural accent, even if it's not close to the characters is alright, but if you can do a convincing accent for the appropriate character, feel free to.

I will not require the voice actor to sing, especially if I really like their voice but they are incapable of doing singing roles, so I will have to roles open for each character, being the singing voice and the speaking voice. It is preferred that the voice actor is also the singing voice, but will not be required.

All I can say is to at least have a decent mic and avoid too much background noise when it comes to the actual project (I don't mind some shuffling/animal or traffic noise for the audition, though),

Feel free to audition for more than one character, it helps gives both of us options and lets me see your range.


Synopsis:

“Rampion has lived her entire adolescent in the Castle of Shalott, hidden away from the world because of a curse she was born with. Now faced with the passing of her motherly figure, the ruler and sorceress of the kingdom, Rampion finds herself turning to her guardian's cold and distant brother, Lindwurm, for comfort in these trying times; though it would appear that he wants absolutely nothing to do with her, dealing with his grief in a more brooding fashion. Shall the two reconcile and meet each other's differences with loving acceptance, or will doom and pain be destined for them?”



Thank you all so much and I look forward to what you all have to show!

  • Server Notice

    As in the description, there is now a Discord server for my work in general where people are allowed to join to leave auditions, keep up to date on my work, and/or to be part of the community (you are 100% allowed to do self-promoting of your own work and such). It's not a requirement to join this specific server should you get casted for this or any of my other projects nor is it a formal commitment to join. If you do not like the server, you can simply leave or just mute it. You can even think of it as a sort of test run to, to see if I am someone you'd like working with and vice versa. I'd love to see people join, but no hard feelings if you do not. Thank you for all your amazing auditions all the same!

Rampion Bellerose Shalott - speaking
open
Unpaid

Rampion does her best to be optimistic and sweet, though it seems she secretly has a bratty and manipulative side to her. She's very curious and adventurous and so she wishes to see the world, though she was told that she was born cursed and thus can never even look outside. 

Rampion loved Gothel like her own mother, though she somehow figured out the truth of her adoption long ago. She also suspects that her curse was laid upon her by Gothel in attempts to prevent her from leaving. 

On top of believing Lindwurm capable of lifting her curse, she takes interest in the man out of attraction as well.


I tend to imagine her with a higher range and a sweeter and sometimes softer voice, though she can get really energetic and passionate.

  • (mournful) "I know you don't think you have much longer. I can see it on your face."

    "I will never forget you! I will always love and cherish and remember everything you ever did for me."

    "I'm well aware that we're not really related by blood."

  • "I'd love to see the world one day! Wouldn't you? Don't you ever get tired of being cooped up in this castle?"

    (endearing) "I don't know what you're talking about? This isn't bad at all. No, I think you actually are more handsome like this."

    (almost flirty/coy) "Maybe...I would really like to get to know you better..."

  • (angry/bratty) "I hate you!"

    (argumentative) "Stop pretending! Stop lying to me! I know you can help me, but you just won't! You're selfish!"

    “I’m the only one who accepts you for who you really are.”

The snippets can just be a couple lines, a verse, and/or the chorus (like you can take the ending half of a verse and the beginning of the chorus). Also, you don't need to do all the snippets, you can just pick one from each set.

Preferably someone with a higher singing range (music shall be adjusted to accompany the correct pitch).

Lindwurm Frank - speaking
open
Unpaid

Lindwurm is rather bitter and distant from the world, being born a bastard child and cursed due to his mother's selfishness and mistakes. All of his life, he was treated as a nuisance and monster, and so his older half sister, Alice,  was the only one who made him feel something closed to love (though even her love could get sadistic). So his views can be a bit skewed as to what is healthy and happy.

He was born looking like a dragon, though he shortly after took a humanoid form with the features of a dragon still in tact (scales, tail, etc). Early in his childhood, Alice ended up making him a potion to help mask his form and make him appear human. He also has a full dragon form that he can unlock, though he tends not to use it (though it can be triggered from high levels of stress). Not even Rampion has seen him outside of his human form, as he is very ashamed as to what he truly looks like.

His main reason for feeling disdain for Rampion is jealousy over how Alice, his own blood seems to love and care for her adoptive child more than him. It also muddies the water that he feels attraction for her and he doesn't know how to deal with it, especially since he assumes that everyone and anyone would reject him if they saw his true form.

  • (stern) "If you saw me for what I really am, you'd run out that door screaming. You know nothing."

    "What makes you think I care?"

    (almost regretful) "You know there's no known way to break the curse. If there was, Alice would have found it already...but...I will keep on looking...for you..."

  • "Wait...you...aren't bothered by the way I look? Well, I do suppose you are a freak as well."

    (flirty) "Too bad your tender kisses cannot break the curse on either of us, but I will accept them all the same for the sweetness they are."

    (hurt) "You care more about her than you ever did me! I, who have loyally stood by you all of these years! I, the one who shares blood with you!"

  • (almost as though offended) "Hate? HATE?! What do you know about HATE?!"

    (angry) "You're just a silly stupid little girl with stupid little dreams!"

    “I’m the only one who accepts you for who you really are.”

Gothel (Alice Adler) - speaking
open
Unpaid

Alice's father was a sorcerer whom was rather strict and cruel, pushing her to her limits and forcing her to strive to be the best whilst her mother was of royal birth whom was very entitled and spoiled and also fed the child's ego. She tends to be rather charming and has strong personality, though because of her grooming and upbringing, she can be rather vain, but is too smart to let that cloud her judgment or allow it to get in the way.

Originally, Alice had not intended to care for Rampion as a real mother when adopting her, simply seeing the girl as a sort of experiment, though, it didn't take long for her to grow attached to the baby and love the child as though she was her own daughter. Right before Alice finds herself on her deathbed, she intended to break the curse she laid on Rampion, but was unable to due to her failing health.

In death, she follows Lindwurm around as a spirit, keeping an eye on him and Rampion (who cannot see her unlike Lindwurm). Alice constantly sasses and lectures her younger half brother from beyond the grave, trying to encourage him to open his heart to her ward and break the curse.

  • (almost tired/haggard) "I will always be with you my child. My love will reach you from beyond the stars, from across the sky, from out of the universe."

    "Of course I care. How could I not? I love the girl, and she loves me. Of all the things I've done, that cannot be my sin."

  • "You think you know better than me, dear boy? You think you see right through me? Don't make me laugh."

    "Why are you being that way? Why do you have to be so cruel to her? She wants comfort, both to give and receive. You two should be bosom buddies right now."

  • "And now you're stuck with me. Maybe I'll pass. Maybe I'll just haunt you for the rest of your life. We'll see."

    “I’m the only one who accepts you for who you really are.”

Alister
open
Unpaid

Alister is Lindwurm's familiar. A cunning snake that tends to have a well meaning heart, though, at the end of the day, he is loyal to his sorcerer no matter what.

Alister is supposed to be more of like "gruff and tough," like this big baddy with a heart of gold. In his human form, he is tall and muscular, so I tend to imagine a more sultry or deeper set of vocals.

  • "Aw, but she admires you so much. Why kick her out?"

  • (sly) "It's written on your face and as plain as day. But sure, keep denying it."

  • (reassuring) "You're a good girl, Rampion. Just give him some time and have some patience. He's dealing with things in his own way."

I will need someone who can do animation. It might be best if it's a team and involves multiple animators. I won't be picky about art style in the sense that I don't have a set style in mind.

I'm not sure the proper title, so shame on me, but I need someone who can transpose Emilie Autumn's music into instrumental versions. There's a possibility of shortening some songs or changing a few things around to match the characters pitch etc.
