Available parts;
Musicians - A total of 15 musicians. This will include monthly rehearsals at a time and day to be agreed to everyones mutual convenience.
Choreographer - This role will involve creating, leading, and choreographing dance routines using a mixture of dance and other emotes, for every song of The War of the Worlds by Jeff Wayne. If you have always wanted to get creative with emotes this is your chance! You will also be in charge of organising dance rehearsals, and providing regular updates on progress. This will be a challenging role that requires a high level of commitment!
Dancers - Roughly 6-10, depending on choreographers needs. See above for details!
Actors;
NOTE: Some of these roles will involve using text and emote to play the part in game - but also live voice acting via stream. Those who apply and are successful, will then be asked to provide a voice recording of the narration for a portion of one of the appropriate tracks, followed by a live audition. Don't worry, you won't expected to sing! This is for speaking portions only, and any singing parts of these roles will be done in the normal way. If you are considering applying for one of these parts, please ensure you are familiar with their characters.
Actors are not expected to sound exactly like the originals, for example accents are not important, just to be able to portray the characters well. Character descriptions not given as it is assumed you have gotten this far because you are familiar with the subject material ;)
