hetalia | HetaRPG Soundtrack, SINGERS WANTED

I'm helping with the creation of a Hetalia RPG called Memories of Hetalia--I've been making music for the game, and right now I'm working on a track that requires a small choir. If you're a singer and are interested, visit my youtube channel to PM me, or just comment here on Livejournal. (You will be given all the proper credits as well ^^)

If you PM me your email, I'll add you to my list, so when my sample recordings are done, I can send everyone the files that you'll need.
Auditions aren't needed. Just let me know of any choir/singing experience you have, as well as what vocal part you were (alto, soprano), if any. This kind of experience isn't necessary, so long as you can sing on key/on the right note, that's mostly what I care about =D
(If you have any sample of your singing voice on youtube or anywhere else though, please link me to it so I can hear! =) )

The name of the song is "Final Stand," and the choir is reminiscent of Renaissance Italy (complete with Latin lyrics). Aside from this, I may ask the singers to record some wordless vocals to add throughout the song =)

Feel free to comment if you have any questions!

uwooo,, can i apply to be one of the singers?? xD
what should i do to apply?? xD anyway, here's my yt channel for a sample of my voice :D here (http://www.youtube.com/user/ChieLamperouge?feature=mhee)

I listened to some of your covers, I love your voice! =) I'd definitely like to have your help.
Here's what I told someone else, the basic info:
The song I need vocals for is the climactic song of the game, it's also themed around Renaissance Italy and the Holy Roman Empire, so the lyrics are in Latin--though it's really not that complicated to pronounce =)
In any case, I'll send an email with the lyrics, and a simple pronounciation guide for the words used, as well as an mp3 file of me singing each part so you can hear what the pronounciations (and melodies) sound like. I might also send a file with a basic piano plucking out the melodies, but I think hearing it sung will be the most helpful.
So if you'd like, just send me your email address. I haven't recorded my singing yet because I have a cold on top of allergies, so my voice/throat is in very bad condition at the moment =/ I will be able to record sometime this coming weekend or the following week.

thank youu <333 i have PM my email address~
wow, Latin, i'm really interested xD i hope i can do it right~~ and get well soon /o/

I could probably help out too. I was in choir for several years, I'm a 2nd Soprano, but I can probably sing 1st Alto if need be.

Awesome =)
As of right now, there are 3 different vocal parts, and I'd like to have everyone sing each of them--unless one seems too high or too low, you can try all three parts separately, and then I'll mix everything together =)
If you PM me your email, I'll send the materials you'll need sometime in the next couple weeks (meaning the lyrics/translations and vocal samples so you can hear the pronounciations and melodies).

I am interested! Sign me up! :3 I've been writing and performing my own music for a few years ^^

Of course, you're in =)
If you PM me your email, I'll be able to give you the lyrics and vocal samples sometimes over the next couple weeks =)
You can send it either through here or my youtube (linked in my initial post).

Umm i am really intersted in this and i hope i can join but well iam not really sure about my voice but i have winned a contest before anyway i hope you dont mind if i try and if you dont like it just tell me please?

Sure, you're welcome to be involved!
When I get over my cold and my throat heals, I'll record the samples and then send them to the singers, so if you PM me you're email, hopefully my throat/voice will be better so I can send you what you need sometime next week/weekend.
If it seems too difficult or there are some parts you're having trouble with, just do whatever you think you can do best, that's fine =)

This really sounds interesting and I was a choir singer for several years (first alto), although I happen to be very congested from a head cold at the moment. When is the due date to apply?

That's okay, I've had a cold all weekend, and allergies on top of that, so I'm in no condition to sing right now either, which means I can't record the vocal samples for you guys until my voice is better--I'm hoping sometime this weekend. My goal is to send out the lyrics/vocal samples sometime in the next couple of weeks.
Hopefully both our congestion will be gone by then xD If not, you can have extra time to get your recordings in =)
It's a three part song right now, and I've been telling other singers to just sing all three parts separately and I'll edit them together. If any of the parts are too high or too low, you don't have to sing them, just do what you're comfortable with =)
If you PM me your email, I'll be able to send you the mp3s and lyrics you need when the time comes.
Thanks for your help!

Excellent! Actually, I'm in the middle of moving this weekend, so don't worry about it. I think my sinuses will be cleared up by the time you send us the samples.

By the bye, hope you feel better soon!

PS: my email address is lady_of_pride@live.ca

I sent out the samples finally--maybe you could let me know if you got it? Just so I know that everything actually got sent and there were no mishaps =)
(also I love your Loki icon xD)

Unfortunately, I haven't received anything yet (and I apologize for the tardy reply; I've been away on vacation). My email address is lady_of_pride@live.ca. I'll get back to you again soon if I get anything.

Many thanks!

Scratch that, I just found your email in the junk box. So sorry.

(And thank you~ I do so love me some Loki).

I forgot to mention, my older sister is actually a hobby opera singer (she's taken lessons for years), so if you need someone for the higher parts, she'll most certainly be able to hit it (she also likes to do little projects, so she won't say no; ;P I know her all too well *cue evil laughter*).

Sure, if she'd like to give it a go, that'd be cool =) Does she like Hetalia?
Initially tried not to make the parts too high/low/complicated, because I wasn't sure what collective level of experience for everyone would be. Seems that most of the people who are doing it have some background experience though, so that's good ^^

lol I'm drinking tea as we speak, because I've lost my voice!! The problem is, whenever I get sick, my cough always lingers and my throat bothers me a while after the sickness is gone, it's such a pain. But trust me, you don't want me recording anything yet, it'd sound like a dead frog trying to be pretty xD

I might be interested >//> I've been singing for a long time I'm just shy about it. I'm very alto and copying what I hear is something I'm good at.

The choir is 3 parts, one of which might be too high, but I think the melody and lower harmony should be okay for an alto =)
I make music entirely by ear, so that's great that you can copy what you hear, since that's how this process will run--I'm going to send recording of all three parts to each of the singers, so they can hear both the latin pronounciation and the notes. (Don't worry, the Latin isn't hard at all, and I'll write in a little pronounciation guide to help just in case xD)

You can PM me your email so I can send you the files you'll need when I'm done recording the samples =)

Sounds interesting, I'll try it out!

Great! Just PM me your email address so I can send you the files sometime this week/weekend =)
