You are Liandra, the ghost of an orphan girl who led the rebellion of your orphanage against its insane evil administrator, the Grandmother, who killed each orphan before they grew too old — a murderous belief born of insanity, where the Grandmother believed that perhaps if children never grew up to become adults, there would be no more evil in the world. After all, who causes all evil other than adults.

In your final moments, you distracted the Grandmother in a dead-end cellar while the other orphans barricaded the entrance. The Grandmother killed you, but your self-sacrifice finally enabled everyone else to be free. Still, your spirit does not rest easy and you remained tethered to the deteriorating orphanage build as a ghost.

Now, twenty years later, you are a ghost guide to the heroes who enter the orphanage to rescue some wayward civilians.

Voice: Liandra's voice is clear but childlike. Liandra is a cute but serious character. Do not overplay her as a helpless child: She's a young courageous teen who sacrificed herself to stop a great evil, and sounds mature in tone, even if childlike in timbre/color. She can sound melancholic, especially as a ghost (in line 1).

For the song, it's ok to have a sense of wonder in your voice, and perhaps some trepidation, but do not overplay it. Think of the sung being sung by a young ghost girl on the ramparts of a castle, mournfully singing of her fate, similar to reference 1: https://youtu.be/fXp7t25nxjU?si=iNKjfaQGlsK2LbrS&t=14

Audition: Sing the song once, then give two takes of each of the spoken lines, in ABAB scheme.

• Line 1: Sing this four-line song to the melody in reference 2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1O62DkYLgoA). 
  • The song is a lullaby once sung by the Grandmother to the orphans. It remains imprinted onto the ghost Liandra. Liandra sings it clearly, but with a hint of melancholy, plaintativeness or regret, but not despair. 
  • You can submit either a clear sample or with the reference in the background, or with just the pure instrumental in the background (reference 3 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAVe-UTXDbo), any of these is ok. 
  • You can also listen to me singing the song in reference 4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n5Xh1HwoA4) but you shouldn't try to match this exactly. It's only to show approximately the position of words, not the pitch (I can't sing that high), not the acting, and not even precise position of words (I'm not great at rhythm either...).
• Line 2: Liandra speaks this in a flashback from 20 years ago, replaying the moment of her death.
• Line 3: Liandra speaks this in the true ending, after heroes bring her back to life as a human.

Compensation: Flat fee $308 for 52 lines, plus 4 sung lines of a song, corresponding to $4/line, plus $100 for the song.

Singing only? If you're only interested in singing and not in voice acting the rest of the story, you can submit line 1 only and you may be selected (and a different actor selected later for the spoken parts).
