Greetings, salutations, and welcome, my beautiful peoples!
My name is Renara Hawke, and I am looking for enthusiastic and passionate people to help me with a voice-acting project over on YouTube. I'm producing an Audiodrama of the award-winning Throne of Glass series, to not only bring it to a wider audience but also to make these stories more accessible for those who may not be able to afford premium services.
I am starting with The Assassin's Blade. This is the Prequel to the Throne of Glass and is a collection of Novellas.
Now, because of the nature of this project, I will be auditioning on a Novella-by-Novella basis, and then later on with the bigger books, on a Chapter-by-Chapter basis, so there will be more roles available in the future.
For this CC, things are a little different, as I'm looking for a couple of singers! and possibly a Music composer, should anyone be interested!
CC Pre-amble:
I'm looking for 2 Female Singers for Chapters 4 and 5 of The Assassin and the Underworld!
Within the chapter, the book states, "There was an orchestra, equipped with two elegant singers. Two young women-twins, with utterly ethereal voices"
The way I understand "ethereal" very often aligns with sweeping bardic voices or Choral voices from choirs.
A couple of examples are "Down by the river", "Song of Balduran" from BG3, "I am the one," "Lillian's song" from DAO, and "Fear Not this night" from GW2.
Auditions info:
If you have a singing voice that is as ethereal as the gods themselves, please audition with a sample of it below!
Please use one of these songs as your sample guide and send in 1 FULL take of the whole song of your choice. Your best take.
Brownie points for anyone who chooses to take on the elvish songs!
Range is not the issue; the singing qualities and vibe are more important, so if you can sing any of these songs in a lower register comfortably, please go for it! ^^

The plan will be to utilise a couple of pieces of royalty-free music along with made-up fantasy words (of which we 3 can work together to create) to produce a couple of short songs to play in the background under the narration.
There is potential to work with a music producer to create original tracks, but copyright and ownership licences will need to be discussed.
Requirements:
1.) XLR/good quality microphone and set up, please, OR have access to a studio or external recording centre.
2.) No background noise, peaking, or artifacts! All audio must be clear and understandable.
3.) You must be 18+ to audition, as the individuals described are adults and thus I need adult voices.
4.) You MUST have Discord. If you are successful in your audition, I will be adding you to the project server, where finer details will be discussed.
If you would like to join the Discord ahead of time, here is the link ^^: https://discord.gg/wh5ZuBwEeN
5.) To ensure trust and security upfront, each singer and composer will have individual agreements, with myself, signed to safeguard their voice against being used for AI and AI voice training. Together we can fight against AI erasing our careers!
6.) Have fun with it! and really give it your all.
Thank you for taking the time to read this through.
Let your voices soar high!
Thank you all for auditioning!
I will be going through everyone's submissions and you will either be shortlisted or rejected, so there will be no limbo.
I will be going over everyone's auditions by the 8th, which will also be the earliest date for casting.
Best of luck everyone!
I am looking for 2 "Ethereal" Female Vocalists whose voices will blend beautifully, both vocalists' voices will dance and weave together, so I'm not looking for any one voice to fully stand out, but more ones that harmonize well.
If you have a friend you'd like to audition with to showcase this, I encourage you to do that also, but tis not mandatory. (Just ensure at least one of the pairings is contactable. Both singers MUST be over 18.)
If you also have songwriting/ Choir experience, this will go a long way as well!
Please use one of the linked examples in the project description above to submit your audition ^^ Any Auditions NOT one of the songs above will not be counted.
*Audition with provided Songs linked above*
The current plan is to use royalty-free music to create backing pieces for this fan-based audiodrama; however, if you are a music composer who would like to get involved in perhaps making these pieces into original songs. Please submit your portfolio below!
I'm looking for individuals who can create a simulated small orchestra that would be at a fantasy nighttime garden party to accompany these ethereal voices.
Usage, Ownership, and Copyright will be discussed in private, so please DM me with any questions around that.
Please ensure your portfolio is visible and not submitted privately, as CCC breaks sometimes with that.
*Say something you think would fit*
