Yagami: A Parody Musical (Death Note/Hamilton Parody) *Final Roles to Fill

Project Overview

This is a re-listed Casting Call being made to fill the final roles needed for the project. Feel free to message or comment for any questions you may have.

Hey everyone. I'm the co-creator and writer of the content from the YouTube channel "Fan Abridged" where we wish to share the enjoyment given to the world by the creators of various "Abridged Series" of our favorite anime. We need singers for a cross-over/parody of the musical Hamilton with the anime Death Note, written as a sort of audio drama series, though it may be animated or have animatics drawn for it at some point. Whether it be ensemble, or as main cast, we need voices. If you audition for "Yagami" as we are calling the project, you may also consider that an audition for ensemble for some other projects we have if you wish to be a part of that as well. Below is a list for who we need cast for "Yagami" as well as the song, or role from a song, from "Hamilton" we'd recommend auditioning with for said character. Feel free to either audition with the full song, or a portion of it, although the full song would potentially show us your vocal range. We're also giving a basic description of each character for those unfamiliar with the anime. As of now, this is a “for fun” project, but if possible to get funding, we will be happy to negotiate payment with those in the final cast.

There are quite a few voices of characters we will need to fill the role of that we do not need to hear a specific song part for, and there for, a standard audition as "ensemble" would be fine and either at your request, or should we feel it right, we may message you, to fill a role that is majority speaking/background. For example, the role of Raye Penber, the FBI agent that tails Light Yagami, only has a specifically designated lyric in the finale, but is more than welcome to sing in the ensemble. The same goes for Aizawa, Mogi, Ide, and Ukita, the other members of the other members of the Kira Task Force, who have mostly spoken dialogue rather than lyrics.

We've got a full track list, as well as a full script, or at least a bare bones script to connect the songs. The script has been written with the thought of those participating, or just listening, are familiar with the story of Death Note, and therefore, the story can seem a bit rushed between songs. Needless to say that certain roles will be in more songs than others. For example, Light will have more songs than L. Some may only have one song and a part or two in others, but all singers are welcome to join ensemble in appropriate songs when their characters aren't singing. We want the world to hear what we can do, and look forward to having you be a part of it!

If you’d like to hear the rough demos for the track list, here’s a playlist on YouTube with them all:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNy0K1WCiW6lZjfTkgwDz6lptxIet0r_u

The ensemble will be, in a sense, taking the place of the Gothic choir that is often heard in the background of many scenes through the original Death Note
Anime. The ensemble is here to fill in the details the characters don't necessarily give us themselves, as well as emphasize the feelings of the main cast.

  • Sing a sample of the Ensemble section of the Hamilton song “Alexander Hamilton.”
