The Way Around
Project Overview
In this world, some individuals are cursed with extraordinary powers. Powers that completely change everything… Ever wonder how they stay sane?
Welcome to the Way Around!
Here we give extraordinary individuals like you therapy!
Meet our current patients:
Evelyn- A girl who can see the future and anxiously waits for it to happen.
Onyx: A young person with the ability to manipulate energy, despite their amount of power they are a complete novice. They.. think they are the best though.
And finally, Faulton: He specifically told me to clarify that his power is MUD, not shit. He’s a bit of a bitch if you ask me… Ah, I'm not supposed to say that
Hello! My name is Doctor Specter, or you can call me Kayla. I’m the founder of this excellent program and I truly believe we can make an impact on these impressionable youths.
The Way Around is a musical animated series that will be posted on YouTube.
For the characters, you do not have to audition for both the singing and voice acting, but I would prefer the same person to be the VA and singer. So if you have a good Voice Acting audition and a good Singing audition you have a better shot of getting the role, if that makes any sense.
For the crew roles, multiple will be selected.
Audition for as many people as you like!
Being double-casted can happen.
WARNING:
There will be a fair share of cursing, so beware.

Evelyn is the protagonist of this story. Eva is a telepath. Her parents are absent in her life, so she lives by herself and is constantly trying to avoid the government who’s trying to send her to an orphanage. She is a bit of a recluse, and a bit stand offish. Her voice should be soothing yet quiet. Powers and Abilities: Can locate and gather information about people through meditation. Can view people’s dreams and manipulate them. Can see the future.

I would be careful if I were you...
Mom.. dad… come home soon. Please, I… I really need you right now
Erk… Huh? Oh I’m fine.
I imagine Eva to be a mezzo-soprano, but the interpretation is up to you. You do not have to be professionally trained, as long as you sound good you have an equal shot of being picked! I would also an emotional song for your audition, to match Evelyn's personality.
- female teen
Sing something for at least 30 seconds.
Nonbinary icon. Their power is energy manipulation. They are a bit self-centered and hot-headed. They are also impulsive to the point of never thinking things through. As Eva says ‘they never shut the fuck up’ and are constantly talking about something new. I imagine them to sound a bit like Najimi Osana and Mary Saotome. Powers and abilities: They can create kinetic energy out of potential energy. This can be used for blasts of energy or force fields. They have much more potential but are still learning the basics of their abilities.
- androgynous
- female teen
Heh, almost too easy!
Bitch, scoot over and let me drive!
Yah I’m leaving, this shit is so boring…
The singer for Onyx. Feel free to sing anything, since Onyx is nonbinary and does not have a specific gender. But, I would prefer maybe Tenor's to Alto's. Again, completely up to you.
Sing something for at least 30 seconds.
Faulton is quiet and reserved, not because he’s shy but because he hates everyone. His power is mud. Mud. NOT SHIT. Think your stereotypical snarky sarcastic probably gay side character. Maybe like Jaxx from TADC? Powers & Abilities: Can transform solid ground into mud. Mud manipulation. Mud transformation. Mud transportation.
- male teen
If you say that I shit my pants I will kill you… It's MUD!
Can you keep that sappy bullshit to yourself.
How many times do I have to tell you, do not call me.
Audition for to be the singer of Faulton! Feel free to sing anything, no song preference from me.
- male teen
Sing something for at least 30 seconds.
Avery is Evelyn’s adopted sister. She is powerless. Evelyn wants to get rid of her, but Avery sticks around much to her annoyance. She often gets into trouble causing Evelyn to clean up her mess. I headcanon that she sounds like Jecka from 'Class of 09' but she's up to your interpretation.
- female teen
Please, it’s not like I wanted to get kidnapped.
Hey... are you alright. Come on sis, I know something's up.
I wasn't done talking to you- Eva get back here!
Audition to be the singer for Avery. I would prefer a bit of a bratty song if ya know what I mean.
- female teen
Sing something for at least 30 seconds.
The group’s therapist. She’s calm, cool, and collected. Despite the verbal abuse she takes from her patients, she tries her best to help.

Could you please take turns talking… I can’t understand you all when you’re talking at once.
I’m a professional, you can trust me.
I imagine Kayla to be a very strong singer. So yeah, use that information as you please.
- female adult
Sing something for at least 30 seconds.
Dr. Specter's assistant. She is cool and collected. Onyx hates her guts for an unspecified reason, but Carrie ignores them. Powers and Abilities: 'Psychic Surgery' Can create psychic needles to affect the inside of the body, but does not affect the exterior. She usually uses this to help others, but can easily harm others. Requires a lot of focus
- female teen
"Shush. I need to focus."
(Angrily) "Don't you dare say I had it easy. I-it was not fucking easy."
"I'm here to help, calm down."
I imagine Carrie to be a strong vocalist, like the voice of an angel or something. Smooth and calm.
- female teen
Sing something for at least 30 seconds.
Onyx’s mom. She often babies her kid much to their annoyance. She does care a lot though. She sounds a bit like Isabella from the Promised Neverland.

Oh you must be my dear Onyx’s friends!
Thank you so much for this opportunity Dr. Specter! My darling Onyx hasn’t been the same since they got their power
Of course honey!
Audition to be the singer for Teresa. She has a motherly tone to her singing voice.

The person who’s been haunting Eva’s dreams. They often take a different form but share the same voice. Their eyes disappear and are replaced with black voids whenever they speak. They have no specified gender so it's up to your interpretation!
