Hello you beautiful humans, you. I'll make this short and sweet. I want to create a fan made video version of the opening number from Heathers, called Beautiful with singers, remotely. The video will be edited and posted on youtube/facebook/instagram and each participant will get a digital copy of the final product.
Watch my fan made video for the full song.
I'm looking for 7 female and 5 male singers.
Auditions will have 2 phases. The first round (just singing) and then the Callback (video and singing).
But, before you audition, you have to have the following:
1) Good quality cellphone camera for video and sound recording or better, a video camera. (This is going to be a video of course)
2) Love dressing up for the video to match the character you are auditioning for as close as possible. (I want to get the characters as close to the original as possible, but this doesn't mean you have to buy costumes. As long as for instance, Heather Chandler is wearing red and looks like her character, then that is perfectly fine. )
3) Dedication. I want this to be fun and really good quality. The video will be edited in a very cool way to make it seem like we are in the same room or that we are interacting with each other even though we are not in the same country even.
4) Able to harmonize. This is important, seeing as the parts have harmonies that need to be learnt
5) Take direction well and be open to changes. I have a very clear vision for this video, but I am open to suggestions if it serves the video. I want it to be epic.
6) Have fun. This is for fun and to create during these stressful times.
PAYMENT:
This is a PAID project and this video will not be for my own personal profit. I'm not going to make anything off of it. It is just for fun and so that I can work with amazingly talented people. That said, I do want to pay you something, because one's time is precious. I can unfortunately only pay between $12 - $20 per person. If we get more than 10,000 views on the original post on youtube, I will pay everyone an extra $10 each, once off. Payments will be through Paypal and it will be the the same day per individual once your videos have been given in and they are ready and confirmation has been given that it will be added to the final product. You may be asked to redo some shots if the quality/sound or look is not right, but it will be minimal seeing as each person will get a brief and test to make sure everything is ready before you start filming everything.
Alright with all of the admin out of the way here are the roles, which are still available:
The Heathers: Heather Chandler, Heather Duke and Heather Macnamara.
Martha Dunnstock.
Kurt Kelly & Ram Sweeney.
Ensemble:
3 Girls (The New wave girl, Stoner chick & Rupublicanette)
3 Boys (Hipster dork, Preppy Stud & Beleaguered geek.)
Ms. Fleming (She will double in ensemble when not this character, preferable someone who can look like a teacher in one scene and then completely different when a student for instance the New wave girl.)
The role of Veronica Sawyer is not available to audition for.
I look forward to all your additions and meeting new professional and passionate individuals.
Have fun.
ps, if this video goes well, I will look into doing more group videos for Heathers:The Musical, with the same cast who got cast for this video/are available. Those who get cast for this video get first choice for the next one.
Heather Chandler: Richest, hottest, most magnetic, cruelest girl in town. Relishes power and wields it like a scalpel – no fear, no patience, no mercy. Her attitude doesn't change after her unfortunate demise, and she continues to haunt Veronica.
Voice type: Mezzo Soprano, Belting.
Voice range: A3 - F5
SPOKEN LINES:
From the songs CANDY STORE and BEAUTIFUL in Heathers
1) Are we gonna have a problem?
You got a bone to pick?
You've come so far why now are you pulling on my dick?
I'd normally slap your face off
And everyone here could watch
But I'm feeling nice
Here's some advice
Listen up beeyotch
2) Grow up, Heather. Bulimia is so '87.
3) Heather wasn't feeling well. We're helping her
4) For a greasy little nobody, you do have good bone structure
SINGNING
Please sing these lines from the opening song BEAUTIFUL from Heather's.

Mascara, maybe some lip gloss
And we're on our way
Get this girl some blush;
And Heather, I need your brush
Let's make her beautiful

Killer clothes
Kickin' nerds in the nose
If you lack the balls
You can go play dolls
Let your mommy fix you a snack (whoa)
Or you could come smoke
Pound some rum and coke
In my Porsche with the quarterback (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Honey what you waitin' for?
Welcome to my candy store
Time for you to prove you're not a loser
Anymore
And step into my candy store

The tiniest lifeboat
With people I know
Cold, clammy, and crowded
The people smell desperate
We'll sink any minute
So someone must go
The tiniest lifeboat
With people I know
Everyone's pushing
Everyone's fighting
Storms are approaching
There's nowhere to hide
If I say the wrong thing
Or I wear the wrong outfit
They'll throw me right over the side
