For those who don’t know what this project is, I’m putting together a collab hamsteak parody of ke$ha’s tik tok.Lyrics and backing track are on http://tindeck.com/listen/yhdk
This script uses all 12 o-kids and trolls! Some of them have more lines than others (60% of it is Dave, but Feferi only gets a single glub, for example. Most are 2-6 lines.)
I’m doing two versions of it now! One will be a normal track where I cast each part out of the submissions, the other will be an “everybody sings” version that will include every submission of usable quality (ie not distorted, not too much background noise, etc). I was only going to do the one, but I’ve already got some submissions already and there are a few characters where I had multiple people give great performances for so I pretty much felt I need to get them all out there together. Both will be independently balanced and mixed and whatnot because I am that ocd about certain things like clipping.
I’m looking for submissions for every character! An ideal submission would be one or more wav/mp3 files as well as the name/handle you want to be credited by. Record with either the instrumental or original kesha song playing in headphones to make sure you’re singing/rapping/etc in time with the music and in the right key, but the file you send should only have your voice, not the music. If possible, try to minimize ambient noise and avoid peaking in your recording, but don’t bother doing it digitally after you record since I’ll be manually processing them all myself anyway.
Send me every character you would like to play. Ideally, send multiple takes as well! Especially because some parts have different ways they could be approached and what sounds best depends in part on how the people around it sound, if that makes any sense, I’m failing at words right now.
So far I’ve got a couple submissions for most of the female characters, but I would really like more too. Also, I haven’t received any subs at all for most of the male cast, so I especially need those! I don’t want to sound like I’m begging, but the more people that get involved, the better this will sound - there will be more to choose from for the main cast and a stronger ensemble for the everybody sings. So please, don’t be shy, get involved!
You can send submissions to me three ways:
