The Gizmo Girls and the Stardom Stereo (Updated Casting Call)
Project Overview
(This is a second posting for this project. The original can be viewed at https://www.castingcall.club/projects/the-gizmo-girls-and-the-stardom-stereo , but if you'd like to audition, post a comment, etc., please do so here, not there.)
This is an animated film meant to serve as a springboard for my screenwriter-director career. I actually wrote the script for it quite a long time ago, when I was about half the age I am now, but I never got around to producing it, and I feel that now is the perfect time to bring this early work of mine to life.
It is about four tween girls who invent a radio disguised as a calculator, the Stardom Stereo, which propels them to worldwide fame and leads them to form a rock band called the Gizmo Girls. The film has an overtly jokey tone, with somewhat non-sequitur humour.
We just need more concert-goer voices, guys!

I need someone who is able to compose music with a synthy, alt-rock kind of sound, similar to this band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IIgR68bBpg
This is for the music that the Gizmo Girls play.
Please provide an example of a completed song you've composed. Doesn't HAVE to be the exact kind of music I just described, as long as it gives me a good idea of what you're capable of.
Note that if you get this role, I will ask you to work with lyrics that I've already written.
(Feel free to audition for more than one of the composing roles if you'd like to)

I need someone who is able to compose music with the kind of pop sound that girl bands like the Spice Girls had.
This is for the music played by several bands that the Gizmo Girls like.

I need someone who is able to compose music that sounds like 60s rock, similar to that of the Beatles.
This is for the music played by the Ladybugs, a band that is a direct fictional counterpart to the Beatles.

I need many different people to play this role - as many as possible. This is because I need a lot of different voices to combine together so that it sounds like a crowd of 500 people is chanting these lines in unison.
Gizmo Girls! Gizmo Girls! Gizmo Girls!
(Cheering)
Chic the Freak! Chic the Freak! Chic the Freak!
(Chanting, in a bullying kind of way)
YEAHHHHH!! (Clap and whistle)
(This is a happy way, NOT in a mean way)
Chic is one of the Gizmo Girls. She is 13 years old, and a tomboy who constantly says silly things and thinks she's awesome despite no one else seeming to think so. For her singing voice I'm looking for something with a somewhat boyish sound to it (i.e. doesn't sound traditionally feminine, but doesn't sound super masculine either). Just to clarify, by a masculine sound, I don't mean in pitch, I mean in tone.
Please provide a recording of you singing. Can be any song, as long as the recording really showcases your singing ability and the kind of voice I'm looking for.
The Ladybugs are a band that strongly resembles the Beatles. For this role, I'm looking for a singing voice that sounds at least somewhat like John Lennon's. I know that trying to find someone who sounds like John Lennon is asking for a lot, but if you can sing in a voice that sounds even just a little bit like his, that would be great!

About 12 years old; half African, half Latina. Carla is the richest girl in town, and is very kind. It is thanks to her that the Stardom Stereo gets mass produced, as she offers millions of dollars for it after stumbling upon the discarded prototype by chance and hearing it play a song that her now-deceased mother made about her. Carla becomes one of the Gizmo Girls' biggest fans, but ironically, the Gizmo Girls' wrongdoing causes her family to lose their money and become poor. Her voice should have an air of genuinity to it, even when she's "fangirling" - i.e. her voice should convey that everything she says is how she really feels and that she never tries to seem like someone she's not.
That song... It's the song my mom made for me and published to the radio before she died...
(She gets teary-eyed and starts to sniffle.)
I haven't heard it since I was five...Hi are you the Gizmo Girls? I'm Carla Corona. I'm your number one fan! Oh my god I love you guys so much! I burned all your songs to discs! I have all your posters! I got my very own Stardom Stereo that says "Gizmo Girls" on the back! See? I'm so so so happy I'm actually standing right in front of you in person! If I wasn't standing right in front of you in person, I'd be so so so sad because I paid fifty million dollars for No Gimmicks Gizmos to make copies of the Stardom Stereo and sell them all around the world and then I learned that my family will get all their money taken away on the 25th, which is tomorrow, so I entered the lottery since the jackpot was the same amount that I paid for the Stardom Stereos, but turned out someone robbed all the money from the vault so I didn't get any money even when I won the jackpot fair and square and now my family is going to go poor tomorrow! Anyways I'm only allowed to be here for a really short while so gotta go bye!
(She's gushing in a very "fangirl" kind of way. And in case you're wondering, yes, the story takes place in the early 2000s - that's why she says "I burned all your songs to discs".)
Mommy! Daddy! We don't have to live on the street!
(Heartwarmed and relieved, almost crying tears of joy)
The single mother of one of the Gizmo Girls, Nicola. She only appears briefly in two scenes, but is shown to be VERY proud of Nicola, even before Nicola becomes famous. Despite being middle-aged, Coletta gives off a somewhat trendy vibe. Her voice still should, of course, have a very "motherly" kind of sound to it.
You have something called "Ucipher's Syndrome". It gives you a special, advanced, creative way of thinking. Because of this, you may be able to see things that no one else can see... In a mental way, that is. And although it sounds a bit far-fetched to me, apparently Ucipher's Syndrome can also allow you to undertake tasks that a human wouldn't normally be able to do, if you experience enough anger, excitement, fear, surprise or triumph at a moment to trigger it.
(She's revealing Nicola's ability to her in a flashback. Note: Ucipher's is pronounced "YOO-siff-ers".)
YEAH, NICOLA! YES! YOU GO, GIRL! YOU'RE AWESOME! WELL DONE, WELL DONE! MARVELOUS! A NINE OUT OF TEN!
(Over-enthusiastically cheering Nicola on when serving as an audience for Nicola and her friends' singing rehearsals)
So she sucks at both!
(This is her response to Chic's father telling her that giving Nicola's singing a nine out of ten is too generous seeing as Chic only got a five out of ten for singing AND acting in a musical. Should be said in a "Ha! I told you so!" kind of tone.)
Age 16. Only seen after the end credits. The leader of the Koala Kats, a pop group composed of three teenage girls who were massively popular but broke up a few years before the Gizmo Girls formed. She speaks in a "stereotypical teenage girl" kind of voice (think cheerleader stereotype, the kind that interjects the word "like" a lot).
(These two lines are the only lines she has.)
Note: auditions for her singing voice are separate from her regular speaking voice because if you do one, you don't HAVE to do the other. You CAN audition for both her speaking voice and singing voice if you want to, though.
See! I told you guys they could do it!
(Impressed, but not super pleased)Look out, Gizmo Girls. Here come the Koala Kats. We're gonna bring you down.
(With a sly, scheming tone)
For Candy's singing voice I'm looking for something that has an alto range and a domineering presence, like her singing is commanding you to do something. Should capture her sassy personality.
Please provide a recording of you singing. Can be any song, as long as the recording really showcases your singing ability and the kind of voice I'm looking for.
Age 16. Only seen after the end credits. A member of the Koala Kats, a pop group composed of three teenage girls who were massively popular but broke up a few years before the Gizmo Girls formed. She speaks in a "stereotypical teenage girl" kind of voice (think cheerleader stereotype, the kind that interjects the word "like" a lot).

Note: auditions for her singing voice are separate from her regular speaking voice because if you do one, you don't HAVE to do the other. You CAN audition for both her speaking voice and singing voice if you want to, though.
And they did it without our help after all!
(Impressed, but not super pleased)
Yeah, cuz they, like, totally stole the spotlight from us. Now we wanna get it back, even if it means leaving them in the dark.
(Snobbish tone. She's referring to the Gizmo Girls)
For Cayleigh's singing voice I'm looking for something that has a lower soprano - upper alto range and a bubbly, very feminine sound to it.
Please provide a recording of you singing. Can be any song, as long as the recording really showcases your singing ability and the kind of voice I'm looking for.
Age 15. Only seen after the end credits. A member of the Koala Kats, a pop group composed of three teenage girls who were massively popular but broke up a few years before the Gizmo Girls formed. She speaks in a "stereotypical teenage girl" kind of voice (think cheerleader stereotype, the kind that interjects the word "like" a lot).
(This line is the only line she has.)
Note: auditions for her singing voice are separate from her regular speaking voice because if you do one, you don't HAVE to do the other. You CAN audition for both her speaking voice and singing voice if you want to, though.
Whoever thought, like, the Koala Kats, the most popular group of kids ever to sing and dance at concerts in Nosparacta who broke up years ago, would, like, secretly run Star Singing Lessons and then secretly get back together to outshine the Gizmo Girls?
(Slyly)
