Project advent calendar 2022
Project Overview
Hello everyone!
Here is a project i plan to post on my youtube channel during december. It consists of doing covers of many christmas songs, with a small story revolving around them.
Synopsis: Serena is a young angel who decides to take a trip on earth during christmas time, to see what humans are up too. Jesse is a dreamy, but disillusioned young man who's not a big fan of christmas because of some bad past events. Meeting by one of the most embarassing possible way, they will slowly learn, or relearn, what christmas, and friendship, really mean.
Requirements
-This project necessitate to sing for almost all the characters. If you don't know how to sing, please do not audition.
-Submit your files in a wav file, with a aaabbbccc format, except for the songs (unless you think it's necessary)
-Please submit your discord tag or at least your email address
-I'll need people who know how to communicate and give their records quickly. The episodes are almost all written but 3 months can go very fast if we don't pay attention. So, massive communication with the team is required.
-Please, most of all, have fun. I know this can look like a quick and stressful project but if everyone stays nice and have fun, everything will be alright.
This project is mainly a fan project, but the motion "looking for a quote" is here for those who prefer to be paid. Whatever it is, that can always be discussed.
A small discord server will be created for the project.

Latest Updates

Hello, thanks to everyone for auditioning, i've heard many interesting things (even i really wish ccc could allow the possibility to put multiple role tipes on one character). To be honest, the singing aspect is really important since the song are the central parts of the calendar. That's why i might contact one or two people for a different character from the one they auditioned at the begining. Also i'm not the extra best in discord servers so i want to be sure everything is good before sending an invite. Ima going through the shortlisting process this evening, but ima extend the deadline if i don't get the voices i need. In any case, stay tuned.

Project update
Just wanted to give an update about how the project is going Episodes: 18/25 written Songs: 24/25 instrumentals I initialy wanted to finish all scripts for early september but i had some tiredness and i'm taking a lil break; the auditions actually help me much to figure out how i can write the scenes i have some writer block on (if it makes sense, when i say i'm tired xD). About the songs, i almost have them all except for one which is "what's this" from nightmare before christmas; i don't know why but i absolutely cannot find a good instrumental for it, but i'm keeping searching for it. And that's all for now. Thanks a lot for following this project and please share it where you can, it helps a lot. -

Ok man, ok, it’s cool! Not my business, I got it! So, whatcha want today? Oh, and won’t you introduce me to this cute little miss you have here?

Warning: please not that the lines below don't especially follow each other and are mostly hear to test your fflexibility of expressiveness.
[just founds Serena sitting on a bench after having bumped into her earlier](shyly) Hum... may I... sit here?
[conversation ending with Serena beeing shocked by something he said]*bursts into laugh* You should see your face! (calms down) Sorry, sorry. Oh, I didn’t even introduced myself by the way. I’m Jesse, pleasure to meet you.
[just bumped into Serena](mad) Ugh… can’t you just look where you’re going?
[just found Serena laying motionless in the snow](panicked) Serena! Gosh, you’re frozen! Hey… Hey, wake up! Don’t fall asleep, stay with me, ok? It’s fine now, I’m here, everything is alr… (stops with shock cause he's discovered her wings, you can gasp if you want)

Voice: medium high
Mia is one of Jesse's friends. She's optimistic but somehow a bit nervous too. She tries to talk to him cause he thinks she (and two other friends) left him behind without explanation, but that's a misunderstanding.
[phone message](nervous) Hey, Jesse! How are you? Well, it’s almost Christmas day so I was wondering if maybe you’d like too… [cut]
[Jesse just told them why he's rude with them](confused) Wait... what do you mean we left you behind? If it's about last time we just... thought you needed some time and wanted to be alone. It's you who don't want to talk to us anymore, not the opposite.

Voice: medium, and a chill and relax tone
Lucas is one of Jesse's friends. He's a chill and easy going person, who does not like conflicts. He doesn't really understand why Jesse is mad at him and the others and generaly tries to lighten things.
[just meeting Jesse and Serena]Yo Jesse, what's up?
[trying to explain what they are doing]Uh... We were about to go to the cabine in the woods and pass the night, like we do every year... We thought you'd come with us but you didn't say anything, so...

Voice: low bass, calm and pragmatic
Daniel is one of Jesse's friends. He's the calmer of the gang and doesn't talk too much, only when necessary. He seems cold at first sight, but he is really caring of his friends.
[Jesse has just told them why he doesn't want to talk with them anymore](not impressed at all) We tried to talk to you. The thing is, you never responded or you didn't want to listen. So, don't blame us if we get awkward or if we just stop.
[talking to Serena in private](grateful)You don't know him, but he changed. He's less reserved, more sincere with himself. He's less affraid to express his emotions. I assure you, you've done a lot for him already. And for this, we owe you a thank you.

He's just a man who's inviting Serena to shelter at his house while she's lost. Though, he doesn't seem to have the best intentions toward her.
[just met Serena who seems to be lost and ffrozen](concerned) You might freeze to death if you keep roaming in this snowstorm! Come on in, don't be shy.
[Serena is more and more insistant to leave](starts to get angry/menacing) Now that's enough! You'll be a nice little girl and stay right here. You don't want something bad to appen, do you?
