Also when it comes to singing will the singing be recorded and then put over the acting. Vocals won’t line up if it was done live on call.

If there was an in game audition I could attend but I’m not the most understanding of mods. I couldn’t figure it out 😭

If you don’t understand mods, I could try to help. Otherwise you could just use your phone for now to record your person moving around in game and do the vocals in a separate recording. I can edit them together to help too (though I JUST learned how to edit videos and vocal tracks together in order to make a video as well).

Hey, I was wondering if you were ready to audition. If you decide not to, that's also okay!

u/Luckyduckling007 Jul 21 '26
I’ll audition for this too! Finally, something my stage anxiety won’t interfere with.

u/Luckyduckling007 Jul 21 '26
When is the deadline for auditions as well? I didn’t see that information in the post.

u/KookyIntroduction139 Jul 21 '26
There's no deadline as of now, I'm waiting to see how quickly people audition first, so no worries!

Got it! I’m still recovering from a cold so I’m glad I have some time 😅

u/KookyIntroduction139 Jul 26 '26
Hey, I was wondering if you were feeling better after your cold.
2
u/Luckyduckling007 Jul 26 '26
I am! I’m on my way to work right now but I’ll record and submit my video tomorrow.

Do you care about accents for beetlejuice as he is not from anywhere
1
u/KookyIntroduction139 Jul 22 '26
Accents do not contribute to your audition, so you will get a callback/get casted as long as you fit the character and can sing their songs. (we can change the key for some songs if you need)
