*All I require is clear, high-quality audio recordings with little to no background noise, sent to me in a wav format. As long as you can do that, we’ll work fine together!

• The Wraiths are manifestations of music. Ethereal beings. Magical, almost otherworldly creatures. The Queen (not pictured here, but a huge and similarly designed creature) is the source of music in this world. Magnificent, and even terrifying.

• You will be working very closely with me, the sound designer, and even the composer.

• Think of the sound the will o’ the wisps make in Pixar’s “Brave,” and apply that to the tiny wraiths/sprites. Imagine them as being and sounding older as the medium-sized wraiths/wisps, and fully mature as the largest wraiths. That should be your inspiration for those creatures. The Queen is a bit like that, but regal, “vast,” and “old” in a more immortal sense. A mystical voice with a royal flavor.

• You don’t have to add effects and whatnot to your voice – the sound designer will be doing that. I will be looking for interpretations that seek to give off that regal or magical, mystical tone, and sound at least vaguely like the right emotions/intentions!

• Think of this like an experimental-creature-sound audition. Note that the wraiths are more human-like as an attribute of their “otherworldliness” in comparison to our bird-like people, so a hint of that in their voices/noises is a plus. But not too much! They’re not human, after all.

• When auditioning for either the wraiths and/or the Queen, please include your interpretation of the following prompts, and make sure to identify which one(s) you are trying to make sounds for – the sprites, wisps, wraiths, or Queen:

  • Teasing/taunting

  • Laughter/giggles

  • Cheers

  • Concern

  • Singing (think of them as though they are in a choir. The Queen is the lead singer)
