[Buffy The Vampire Slayer] 'Once More With Feeling'
jconstantine for Spike

Character:
Angsty vampire with a complicated (unrequited?) love for Buffy. He's neutered with a chip in his brain, meaning he can't hurt anyone, but that doesn't necessarily make him a good guy. Unlike the rest of the gang, he doesn't have a soul. Lately, however, Buffy is finding she can relate better to him than to any of her other friends after her return from the dead. Spike is sarcastic and witty, but can also be shown to be genuine in some instances. Spike has a medium voice and he has a British accent. Think kinda cockney-southish sort of thing. You don't have to be English to play Spike, but try to do an accent please.
Singing:
I would like a strong singer for this role. Spike's solo song is quite intense, and would portray emotion more effectively if the singing matches up. The accent should be maintained throughout the song like in the original.
Well, I've seen some damn funny things, last two days. Six hundred pound Chorago demon making like Yma Sumac, that one'll stay with you. I remain immune, happy to say... Drink?
(the) Day you suss out what you do want, there'll probably be a parade. Seventy six bloody trombones... Look, you don't have to say anything. We both know I can talk enough for both of us.
[Singing segment - "Rest in Peace"]
And since I’m only dead to you
I’m saying stay away and
Let me rest in peace
Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole 6-foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my, sweet release
So let me rest in peace
Sorry about the potato quality recording, I'm not at my PC so I did this on my phone :p
I'm going to cast you for now! Your voice is near perfect, and your singing is very good! The only thing is that I will need to hear this with your PC's mic to make sure it's up to scratch :) Thanks!
Aw :( Casting before the cut off date. Guess i can't audition for this now.
wow this is soooooooooooo much better than mine your great
Thanks buddy, I really appreciate the compliment! I admit I'm at a bit of an advantage here because I've done theatre acting and I sing in a couple of bands but your audition is good too. I listened to your it a few times and I actually think you could pull off Xander's goofyness really well, you should give him a shot if you have time :)
