Pocahontas "Savages" Political Parody (Group Song Cover)

Pocahontas "Savages" Political Parody (Group Song Cover)

Project Overview

Auditions are re-opened again until the end of November for both sides of the chorus, Kekata, and the two Native American warriors.

To audition, please ONLY submit your demo reel by November 30th, 2018. If you have a singing demo reel, please use that, if not, please use your regular voice acting demo reel. If you do not have ANY demo reel, you can just upload a clip of you singing any 2 lines of "Savages" from Pocahontas. Feel free to audition for as many of the available role(s) as you are interested in -- you can choose one, some or all to try out for, but I will of course do my best to spread the roles out!

Thank you so much!

--------------------------------------

The first round of auditions is over as of the end of September -- all solo & duet roles have either been cast and confirmed or at least offered, pending acceptance by the people cast. However, I would still love to have more voices in the chorus! I have re-opened auditions for the chorus roles until the end of October 21st.

If any of the pending roles are declined, I will make a project update to notify everyone that one or more roles is available again. But for now, it is only the chorus.

Thanks to everyone who auditioned, and I hope to hear auditions from more of you! :)


This is an unpaid project.

This will be a song cover/political parody of "Savages" from Disney's Pocahontas with new lyrics written by me, and will be uploaded to my YouTube channel. (My first Disney group song cover has had over 3,600 views and counting to date.) Although there WILL be terms like "snowflake" and "nazi" in the lyrics, they're included for the same reason racially offensive lyrics were included in Disney's original version -- in other words, this song is meant to promote the idea that these extremist political views & insults are harmful on BOTH sides. EVERYONE will definitely get a chance to see the FULL lyrics before deciding whether you are comfortable participating in this project! :) Absolutely NO violence will be shown on-screen, either -- although I may show things like statues being pulled down, and/or clips from protests AGAINST violence.

I'm not sure what else to say about the project, but if you have any questions at all, or even a tiny concern, please don't hesitate to ask me about it! :)

RULES:
1. The deadline for auditions is Sunday, September 30th, 2018. I won't cast anyone before the deadline, and I will make a casting decision and/or extend the deadline if needed no later than Friday, October 5th.
2. I NEED to hear your singing voice WITHOUT music, so I can hear you properly. :) If you want to use music in your audition, just make sure to also upload a copy with no music.
3. You can audition for as many roles as you want, but aside from the chorus I will *try* to spread out roles as much as possible!
4. Please make sure to sing your words as clearly as possible. This is the number one criteria, even before singing ability, acting ability, OR mic quality.

Please have fun! :D

Between Powhatan (the chief) and Kekata (the medicine man) these roles will represent the left-wing/liberal/democrat side of this song cover. Although there are no spoken lines, the focus for this role will be on acting and conveying emotion rather than singing ability. Although the original character in the movie is male, gender does not matter for this role!

  • Audition with your demo reel, or:

    (Sing) "They're different from us
    Which means they can't be trusted"

The two warriors are each a small, but still important, role -- since the two roles will need to harmonize together, the main focus is on singing for each role. (Please upload your audition to BOTH Warrior #1 and #2! I can only cast one person per role as per Casting Call Club's interface, so I had to separate the two despite them having the same audition lines.) Although the original character in the movie is male, gender does not matter for this role!

I am looking for any and every voice for the chorus! Male, female, any voice range. If you ONLY wish to be considered for the Right-Wing chorus, then just upload an audition on this role and do NOT upload one for the Left-Wing. If you don't mind being cast for either side, please upload an audition on each. If you want to be considered for both, but have a preference, then please upload your audition to both roles and leave a comment under your audition letting me know!
I will be trying my best to divide the chorus evenly between right and left wingers, HOWEVER singers' wishes will be 100% respected. This DOES mean that if there is enough of an imbalance I may not be able to cast everyone, but again, I'll do my best!!!

  • Audition with your demo reel, or:

    (Sing) "They're savages! Savages!

Role assigned to: Severage

This role has, by far, the most solo lines in the song -- however, acting ability will be weighed at least as heavily as singing ability! I am looking for a powerful delivery of the lines. I imagine a male singer/actor for this role, but female singers/actors with low-pitched and forceful voices will also be strongly considered.

  • (Spoken) "I told you those savages couldn't be trusted! Smith tried to befriend them. Now look what they've done to him."

  • (Sing) "What can you expect
    From filthy little heathens?
    Here's what you get when races are diverse
    Their skin's a hellish red
    They're only good when dead
    They're vermin, as I said
    And worse"

Pocahontas

As the title character from the movie, and neutral party, this is an important singing role. Pocahontas' singer will also be responsible for singing the solo that will play during the end credits of the video. There are no spoken lines for Pocahontas in this project, so the focus is on singing for this role. However, the ability to convey emotion through singing is also important. I imagine a female singer for this role, but male singers will also be considered if you have the right voice range to match Pocahontas' original singer!

  • (from Pocahontas)
    (Sing) "Eagle, help my feet to fly
    Mountain, help my heart be great
    Spirits of the earth and sky
    Please don't let it be too late"

  • (from Pocahontas II)
    (Sing) "Who knows where I go from here?
    So many voices, only one thing's clear
    There's nothing to lose, nothing to fear
    The past is gone
    I must move on
    from here"

Role assigned to: Dyl in the Dark

As one of the settlers, Ben is on the right-wing/conservative/republican side of this song cover. He has one spoken/shouted solo line, so the focus is 100% on acting here. NO SINGING ABILITY REQUIRED! If the person I end up casting for Ben has also auditioned for a chorus role, then Ben will sing with the chorus. If not, then it will ONLY be the one acted line required and no singing will be involved. Although the original character in the movie is male, gender does not matter for this role!

  • (Shout) "Let's go get a few, men!"
