(Looking for singers to bring to life) Toradora: The Musical
Zombie for Ryuji Takasu
Ryuji is the main character of the piece, a sweet, but dim boy with a scary face. Despite his appearance, he is always ready to put in the work for those he cares about.
Vocally looking for a Frank Sinatra type baritone with strong highs in the E4-F4 area, but with the strength to mostly stick in the bottom of his range (the C3-A2) area. Should be able to sustain a low note with confidence. (Optional sustained G4 as well for those on the higher end)
Will have solo parts in 12 songs
(Introspectively)
"Sorry dad, but having your genes? It’s caused me nothing but trouble. If I didn’t have your face people wouldn’t be scared of me, the “Palm Top Tiger” would leave me alone… Might even have more confidence. Maybe then- Oh yeah! That career plan!"
(Reassuring)
"Never seen anything like this huh? So, there’s this girl I like, and that is a hypothetical list of songs I’d play for her at a concert. I’m not much of a musician but, oh! And those are my mix-tapes for her, and that’s my book of poems! See, absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about, you were actually gonna do something about your crush. I just have a box of fantasies."
Sing a snippet of a jazz song for a baritone: (Ex. I Can't Help Falling In Love, My Way, Luck Be A Lady, Everybody Says Don't, etc)
