DESCRIPTION:
For the first time in decades, the Orchid Theater will be putting on its first musical since the accident of 1947. Unfortunately, there is a soul, Florence, with unfinished business determined to act in her rightful role as the lead character, but the current casting of Kaylin may hinder that.
Heya, I'm Kristina! I'm currently working on my musical animated thesis film, Upstaged, and my two main characters, Kaylin and Florence, are in need of some voices!
Hello!! I've been listening nonstop to auditions, and I'm flabbergasted by everyone's talent! I have had some trouble narrowing it down, and I am working with Florence's VA to see how their voices work together. I apologize for not having decided this morning, but in the next few days I will be making my decision. :) Thank you all for your patience!
I want to thank everyone who has submitted auditions (which I've been blown away by), which I did not expect one bit when I put up this project. The deadline for submitting applications is this Wednesday at 10 PM PST, and I should be announcing the role of Kaylin Thursday morning!
DESCRIPTION:
Kaylin is the lead character in the Orchid Theater's one-woman-show production of "Nebraska!" She's determined to have her first moment in the spotlight, but the ghost of the theater, Florence, may hinder that.
PERSONALITY:
Kaylin is a very by-the-book person who has rightfully earned the role of the main character. Performing arts has been a place to fall back on during a tragic situation in her family, so she has put her whole heart into her performance in "Nebraska!"
VOICE:
Emotive and dramatic, like an amateur actress on Broadway
Here is the storyboard with scratch audio as a point of reference.
Tufted grass, beneath my feet the gentle whisper of the breeze, gee how blessed am I, to be a part of, this good ‘ol prairie
There’s something 'bout this summer day, sunshine and joy is here to stay
DESCRIPTION:
Florence was the rising star of the Orchid Theater back in its heyday until one day, she mysteriously passed away at the theater right before her claim to fame. When she is called by a seance done by Kaylin hoping to bring luck to her opening night, Florence has the opposite thing in mind. With this opportunity on the opening night of "Nebraska!" Florence is bent on finally becoming the star of the show by outshining Kaylin.
CHARACTER:
Florence constantly craves the spotlight, and is willing to shove aside anyone who gets in her way. She is a spirit full of rage as a result of her premature death, and deflects that rage onto Kaylin. Her aesthetic is very similar to that of Darla Dimple from Cats Don't Dance
VOICE:
Slightly high pitch + Mid-Atlantic/Transatlantic accent
What a world the one i’m in, my talents prove only i win, it's a venturous one, this road i face, one that i, would never, ever trade.
Nothin like victory, it’s real great, bein' me, there’s nothing that could stop me, i laugh at catastrophe
