The Language of Flowers|Professional Idol Group
Project Overview
The Language of Flowers is an original idol group that will sing songs from all over the world, including traditional folk songs, as well as idol or pop songs, but translate them all into English, thus you only need English semi-fluency to be in this group! Accents are thus, entirely welcome! The objective of the group is to have beautiful singers from all different types of backgrounds. It will be a rather large idol group because only some will work on a song at once. We will also get a composer that will compose original songs for us to sing. My ultimate goal is to have everyone have their own original solo songs and group songs with everyone included. Until then, we will do idol songs, Vocaloid songs, and just about any song from around the world. This group will be fast-paced, in order to get as many songs out there as possible to get us known, song due dates will be around 1 week from when the song is given and harmony guides complete.
Audition Guide:
1. Introduce yourself as your name or alias
2. Sing a song
3. Say what languages you can speak fluently in
4. What you can do for the group: harmony guides, lyricist, composer, fashion design, artwork, animator, mixer, vocal coaching, tuning, etc
Notes:
-You can apply to be any flower as long as you have the attribute for it: Cool, Smile, Pure
Cool voices are powerful and strong and on the deeper side, Smile voices are peppy and cheerful, and Pure are soft and sweet and on the higher side
-You don't have to know any language other than English, but being fluent in another is a plus so you can translate to English for translyrics to be written.
-Audition for as many as you like, if you are unsure, audition in the unsure section and I'll get back to you on which you'd fit best
-You must have a discord
I will be taking the role of Dogwood Flower, my favorite flower due to the states of North Carolina and Virginia having a special place in my heart (despite being from Texas). It's simple and beautiful. I am a mezzo-soprano with a pure attribute. I am a lyricist and I can compose somewhat.
The sub-groups will be created after we form the group and do a blend test. You MUST be active on the discord in some way (which counts as just posting your parts when they are due), so we don't have people waiting MONTHS and still not submitting their lines like in my last group. I want this group to be successful!
All characters' designs will be made after everyone has been cast.
Good luck to everyone! If this is well-received and I believe there are many singers worthy of being in the group, I'll add some more flowers!

Latest Updates

As our mixer is currently very busy and is also a singer, I hope that we can find another mixer to take her place in that respect and be part of the team! <3 I have opened the role for mixer! If anyone has mixing talents, that would be highly appreciated if you could help out!
-
Youtube and Twitter created!
https://twitter.com/hanakotobanouta https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYQ_OddTv440kO0UYfttSVw/about?view_as=subscriber Both a YouTube channel where we will upload our videos and a twitter where we will announce releases and give sneak peeks on our work have been created! I hope you guys will support us! <3 Our first video should be out by the 15th and then we'll cast another person! -
Group Decision
We have decided to officially start the production process with the few members we have for now. We will release our first video, and then we’ll cast another flower. We’ll then release a video starring the new flower, then cast the next. :) That way each of you get your own promotion video where you can be the center of attention. We’re working on getting the video out as soon as possible! -
Adding new flowers!
Don't worry if you see more roles being added! <3 I am just getting a larger vision of what this group should be, and I want more people to share the dream with, and more people to contribute to the project! <3 We will split into sub-units for the actual project, and we will be working on those once we finalize the roles. :) My idea is to have a large variety of sub-units to work with, and so no person is worked too hard, there will be several artists, several mixers, etc. :) I will be composing songs myself for the people to sing and ask the composer only when necessary. You will get your time to shine, and I plan to have several videos released a week. Sometimes it will be solos, sometimes it'll be trios or duets, and sometimes more than that. :) So far I added Tulip, Edelweiss, Lily of the Valley, Lavender, and Hibiscus. :) I plan to add a few more as well. Good luck to everyone! <3
A mixer for our music to mix and time and master our vocals. We have someone that can do this already, but they get relatively busy, so I wanted to get a backup in case.
