The Melon Theme Song
"I am an outsider, things got weird, I got weirder, and now I'm the star of this crazy show... and frankly, I'm phenomenal at it."
— Melon
I'm looking for someone who could perform as Melon from BEASTARS in a Jazzy song project! This track dives deep into his twisted backstory, detailing just how he became the... well, cunning, deranged and complex character we know.
This is a tentative passion project, born from a love for the show and a desire to create something unique and fun. I'm eager to collaborate with enthusiastic/pro people who are excited by the concept and want to help bring this song to life. Where will it land? Not sure yet... but hopefully somewhere fun!
Think of Hazbin Hotel, Disney style songs: a fast-paced, villain's theme, jazz track. The song heavily features rhythmically spoken verses, leaning towards the realm of voice acting. There will be a few sung sections too, so a good sense of characterful melody is a plus! Check out the role info for more details!
Check out this link for a song demo on SoundCloud.
The project aims to be an animated lyrics video published on YouTube.

Good luck!
Hey all!
For those who might consider auditioning, I've added a link to a video that contains the syllable-timed version of the lyrics to the song (sort of like a karaoke track) for the segment I've shared.

I hope it helps! Thanks for the interest and good luck! :)

You'll be singing/performing as Melon from Beastars.
Character / Melon
Melon is a very charismatic, dramatic, evil character. He acts like someone charming and hides his evil traits and nature behind a mask. He's a sociopathic, ruthless, and cunning character in the universe.
Song & Performance Style
The piece is a jazzy fast-paced villain song. Vocally, I'm looking for a highly character-driven performance that leans heavily into a "spoken rhythmic lyrics"/voice-acting style, rather than traditional singing.
The lyrics are fast-paced and spoken, so you should have excellent diction and a strong sense of groove! I'm looking for someone who can really play with the rhythm and make the words dance.
Some melodic sense is useful nonetheless (there would be some), however the emphasis is on embodying the character's cunning charm and dramatic flair through pitch inflection, dynamic shifts (menacing whispers, unhinged outbursts), and versatile vocal color.
Here is Melon, and here too, in the show's English version, though no specific voice style is required, a generic voice works well.

Example of the song lyrics. It is going to be fast-paced! Use this video to help you get an idea for the pacing of the syllables: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m5qBqjhDGRrKXaW6VKqoWfnz4NE9yYBD/view?usp=drive_link
Life has always been an intricate charade,
My father said run, my mother said raid!
Her fork-tongued sermon split my soul like a blade,
Now I have sociopathic traits, and misanthropic tirades.
