roles.

Bass

open

the lowest voice role, almost exclusively sung by men, but if you're chloe from 'Pitch Perfect' and get nodes apparently your voice can also get this low.

baritones

open

again, mostly a male dominated vocal role, this is the next step up from a bass, so their range is a bit higher.

tenors

open

if you've ever been in theatre or showchoir, you've probably fallen victim to a tenor boy. these are the boys who can sing most 'i want' songs written for men and are usually considered leading men. they just also happen to usually be flirts.

altos

open

finally moving onto the ladies of this group, altos are the lowest vocal part for women. their harmonies are either extremely simple or extremely difficult... there's no in betwen. a lot of altos tend to feel like they're under utilized because they can't hit, or nobody thinks they can hit, the 'money notes' like the higher voice parts.

mezzos

open

just below sopranos on the list are our mezzo-sopranos. they rest right in the middle of altos and sopranos and usually have quite a large range. much like tenors, they tend to be the stars of the show.

sopranos

open

last, but certainly not least, are our lovely sopranos with voices of the angels. they take those high notes and sustain them whether they're background vocals or soloists. they've been known to be a bit snobby due to their superiority in knowing they can hit notes nobody else can, however they can also be jealous when it comes to not getting solos.

extra information.

For now, the due date for character sheets will be July 16th at 11:59 pm Central time. Obviously if you need more time either separately or as a group, just tell me and I have no problem extending it!

The descriptions of each vocal part are really just ideas when making characters, so don't feel like you have to stick to them. Do try and spread out vocal parts so we don't have a group full of mezzos and/or tenors because what fun would that be?

Also, I lowkey want a Sue Sylvester type character as the narrator of the group, so either I can take care of it or I can have someone help me when writing out starters and skips, let me know if you'd be interested.

once you've posted your character,
I will pm you the link to the ooc : )

let's all have fun and I can't
wait to see your characters!

petra grey

gender: female
age: 17
year: junior
face claim: linda cardellini
orientation: lesbian
vocal part: alto
status: auditionee/backup singer/dancer
theme song: bad reputation- joan jett

personality

likes: weed, poetry, chocolate, rock music, alt music, driving
dislikes: oranges, math, the smell of fish, yoga, beer
fears: living a boring life, snakes
personality: some people say that petra has an attitude problem. they'd be right. petra is pretty apathetic, not making an effort to accomplish anything during her time in high school. a grade obsessed nerd all throughout middle school and freshman year, she has a terrible case of burnout and just stopped trying when she discovered that just doing what you want is so much more fun than worrying that you'll never be good enough. she comes of as unapproachable and uses sarcasm to shield herself from the world. if you get on her bad side, you'll be on the receiving end of her killer eye rolls (which have been complained about by the teachers at seaside high) and sarcastic insults. however, petra doesn't have too many people on her bad side. she mostly keeps to herself, so you stay out of her way and she'll stay out of yours. most of the people she dislikes she doesn't care enough about to retaliate against. despite her closed off nature, if you get to know her she's a blast to be around- especially if there's weed around. shockingly loyal for someone so lazy, she's a friend who'll fight for you. seeking the simple pleasures of life, petra is always down for an adventure- just as long as she doesn't have to put too much effort into it.

history

petra's early childhood was completely unremarkable. middle class family, raised by a loving father and mother. she had it pretty good. nothing of note really happened until a year before she started middle school. her mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and passed away soon after. this loss at such a young age was devastating for petra, and ever since her life has been a rollercoaster. her father, robert grey, was now a single father- a college professor putting his daughter through private school. petra saw how devastated he was from the loss of his wife, and just wanted to make him proud. so, she tried to be the best student she possibly could. in middle school she put so much effort into academics and was always at the top of her class, in addition to being in choir and on debate team. she pushed herself to her furthest limits, and started high school of at a high, excelling at her classes and joining the high school's debate team and newspaper club. then, it all came crashing down. she was already exhausted near the end of freshman year, and a c in math caused her initial spiral. petra was holding herself to remarkably high standards, and her self worth plummeted. her exhaustion prevented her from trying too hard and she dropped her extracurriculars. by the end of freshman year, she had fallen in with the wrong crowd and discovered an affinity for weed. over that summer, her actions were erratic, going to parties- experimenting with both substances and people- and she discovered that she liked her life a lot better this way. she entered her sophomore year not giving a shit anymore, she became a c/b student and was most often be found under the bleachers smoking out. now there was more to life than her academics and school related accomplishments. she found that she didn't want to put effort into things she didn't like- and it so happens that petra doesn't like too many things. the one thing she has consistently done is keep up her poetry journal- which she keeps a secret. she showed no signs of change the summer before her junior year- but her friend seymour (one of her few non-slacker pals) did come to crash on her couch for the foreseeable future after a nasty run in with his mom. petra entered her junior year completely embracing her slacker/burnout label and ditched more than a few classes. she was called into the guidance counselors office the first week of school, to be reprimanded and the counselor gave her a talking to about her future. you were such a bright girl. what happened? so, petra was offered a choice. join a club or face suspension. knowing just how disappointed her dad would be with her getting suspended, she chose to try and join a club. with some encouragement from seymour, she just may be auditioning for the glee club this year. hey, it's better than joining those dorks in marching band.

headcannons!!!

  If God put all of man’s internal woes and one strength into a single human being, that is Seymour. The kid who had to grow up before everyone else, looks like 38 when he’s supposed to be twenty years younger, he’s shockingly made it by. He’s very argumentative if you insult him or piss him off in any way, and shockingly, nobody knows how long his fuse is. When he’s argumentative, he can get incredibly insensitive, or if he’s just in a bad mood. Due to the trauma of the gilded cage that was his trust-fund-boy past, that’s…a lot. But in reality, he’s only in a bad mood like 35% of the time. Roughly. We think. This poor kid believes the whole world’s out to get him, and has a really hard time tolerating people as a result. He comes off as an absolutely straight extrovert gliding his way through life like Fiyero from Wicked, but the poor kid just needs a hug.
  
  Despite this, and being named after a guy who feeds blood and later people to a carnivorous plant believing it’ll win him the love of his life, he still shockingly has some redeeming qualities. He’s much smarter than he looks, to the point of almost being considered more book-smart than street-smart (by a slim margin). His brain is just full of random theater trivia and facts you can get him to spew out if you get close to him. He’s extremely quick witted and creative when it comes to problem solving, from all of those years of DIYing his entire life perfectly, and so if you need a pick up line or your car fixed, he’s your guy (if he isn’t in a bad mood, remember). And despite the fact that he can sometimes really hate people, he can be incredibly charismatic when he wants to be, a little bit of a playboy but nowhere near enough to be considered a casanova. And in terms of the Glee Club, his charisma and enthusiasm for any and all things theater (as well as really pushing people to their limits), made him the natural choice for the Seaside Club’s Captain.
  
  Well…at least for now.

  Poor Seymour. He was played all of the wrong cards in life. His father, Scott, left his family when he was three, supposedly was some sort of priest or something, which made sense. His mother, Elia, was an actress. She’d made it big on Broadway long before Seymour was born. And some really itchy cursed part of his mind wanted to follow in her footsteps. She used to love playing various cast recordings on the speakers and belt them out. She got Seymour voice lessons when he was 6, kept up with them ever since. So where could life go so wrong?
  
  Seymour Jack Barrow:
  - Seymour Krelborn: the main protagonist of the 1982 musical Little Shop of Horrors (which his mother claims she played Audrey in the 2003 revival, this being debatable). The poor man buys this plant which turns out to be carnivorous and craving for world dominantion, and he murders to feed this bastard, all while reaping the profits.
  - Jack Kelly: the main protagonist of the 2012 musical Newsies (which his mother claims to have played Katherine in, again, debatable). The charismatic leader of the so-called Newsies, who all went down the wrong path in life. But he would do anything for his family.
  - Clyde Barrow: the main male protagonist of the 2009 musical Bonnie and Clyde (which his mother claims to have played Bonie in, again, ALSO debatable). The psychopathic but yet charismatic outlaw who called Al Capone his hero and met his death at the hands of 1930s law enforcement. Based off of a real guy. Seymour claims that his mother changed her surname to Barrow for the hell of it, but she denies that.
  
  So for a while, life was perfect and fine. Seymour, believe it or not, was the teacher’s pet in school. He always sucked up to him/her, getting ridiculed for it in elementary school. He never cheated. He never lied. He never stole (he used to call himself George Washington). But boy, how everything can change. And it all started in high school. After all, all teen dramas have shit start in high school. What would make Seymour any different?
  
  It was his ninth grade year. He’d made the varsity volleyball and varsity lacrosse teams, and did swimming recreationally while also on yearbook committee (again, the committee where kids go to make out with each other, maybe..). Nothing else could possibly fit his plate. But then his mother realized: he wasn’t doing choir. Or theater. No fall play. Or spring musical. And then she had to learn about Glee Club.
  
  If you’re wondering why he chose nearly all athletics to fill his time, we’re forgetting one key detail there: Elia drank herself silly. The trust fund boy…beaten? This was not a fairy tale by any stretch of the word. Driving in a limo to and from school while going to school the next day with bruises on his arms in legs. Once middle school (or should I say puberty) hit, that once nearly-attainable dream of prince charming was long since over.
  
  His mom tried everything to force him to do it. She asked his teachers to bribe him. She once threatened to take away his allowance, his car, his phone. She even went so far as to threaten to pull him out of school if he didn’t. And then when THAT didn’t work, she called his girlfriend at the time and told her that Seymour had an bacterial STD so she better break up with him. The poor girl was a ditz. Much to Seymour’s horror, she did. His mom had a way with words.
  
  So after that, to spite his mom almost, it was the last straw. Seymour joined in November of his freshman year. He actually remembers singing Raise a Little Hell from Bonnie and Clyde. Year after that, Freeze Your Brain from Heathers. Year after that, he took a break from dark shit to sing Santa Fe from Newsies. This year…well…uh…he’s pretty sure he doesn’t have to sing one. Shockingly enough, he was good at singing. And I say shockingly because this guy has shit self-esteem.
  
  But of course, it all unravels junior year. Funny how that works. Seymour had just been given early acceptance to NYU (pulling strings to get his acceptance extremely early, no other funny business), when his mother called him: May of junior year. She was screaming at him. He hung up. Two minutes later, Seymour’s boyfriend called, claiming he had HIV and that Seymour better get tested.
  
  You can guess what the results were.
  
  Needless to say, Seymour had “neglected” to tell his mother that he had a male partner, and that he, as of now, was HIV-positive. His mother was furious, both because he was lying to her, and we think she may have been a bit “uneducated”. So now his dating life is sworn off for good, because this kid again, has shit self-esteem and is too nervous to tell someone he has a viral STD.
  
  So now he’s crashing on a friend of his’s couch, Petra, a now-junior. They’ve smoked weed a few times, and Seymour thinks he may just have coaxed her into joining Glee Club. He hopes it’ll be only till the end of the year, before he moves to New York over the summer, but he just hopes he can find a way to repair bonds once more.
  
  And maybe get on that national tour.
