Vocaloid Idol! [Round1 in progress]

The Next Step

Sending in your takes
This will go along as the audition process did. Send us your song choice [MP3] in a ZIP folder to ddpfandubs@live.co.uk . You must include the following:
- RAW vocals
- Harmony vocals
- Mixed track
- YT page information [we will be adding links]

The deadline is
July 20th, 11:50PM [UK Time]
If you do not make the deadline, we will send out a notification. You are given two days to reply before we disqualify you and put in a backup instead.

What are teams?
Myself and Yuukai will be in charge of instructing five people each. The person you are in the team of is your group leader and advisor. You go to them for song checks / choice examples, vocal tests and any other questions you may have. Think of them as a team parent.
Add us on Skype to get a hold of us better:
AMESHI - daydreamerartemis
Yuukai - hokagetitan

Voting
[Not necessary until round1]
Voting will, preferably, be done in private via PM. You may vote for one person only. The person with the least votes will be put out of the competition that week. Voting will take place over two days.
We may or may not regard comments or forum responses as votes.

Theme
The theme for the first round is love.

I would like to join but I have a question : is I want to sing aku no meshitsukai do I have to sing the normal version or I can sing the classic version???

and it's a really good idea ^^

Please sing the original version. I would like the original versions of the songs, no piano, orchestral or band arrangements.

Okk so I'll try as soon as I can to record the song (until the first chorus if I understand corretly (just have to find where is the first chorus XD))

Uh...how do you send your audition via zipped files? I don't get it...

the file that you send have to be zipped. So you zip it and send it to the mail that she gave in the first message : ddpfandubs@live.co.uk

and you have to use the good name for the file (mp3 and zip)

do we have to sing the songs in the original pitch o n o

Totally singing Saihate *A*

pahpawmipi: Yes, that's somewhat the point. To see how you handle songs in their original tones.

Okk so if we have to sing in the original tones, i won't be able to sing servant of evil XD my voice is so freaking low... I can't hit the note that len can... so I'll try to sing fire flower or rolling girl instead ^^''''

YES! World is mine is on the list! Whoo hoo~

alright i'll try o n o

Can't wait to hear all of your guys' auditions. This looks to be shaping up into a stellar project.

Wait, so you send in two singing files all zipped into a .zip file?
One with raw vocals only and one with edited vocals and instrumental?
And just to double check, raw vocals are no noise removal or puff removal, right?

Most likely doing either Saihate again or World Is Mine, depending on the situation. (Do I have to scream for the scream parts in World is Mine? Because when I tried doing a cover of "Suki Kirai," my mom and sister yelled at me and interrupted my singing while I was recording. OTL )

Gahahahahaa. Same here. (._.)

Uhhh... You say we have to sing the original version of the song, but the Saihate you linked to isn't the original...

@Moki - If you know any better male songs please do PM me. I was struggling with songs for the males.

@Phatbeaniez - You can use noise removal but that is all.

@vALoN - No, you don't have to do the screams. We are focusing more on the singing.

@Neibaku - Oh shi- I shall fix it. My YouTube was acting up so I couldn't check it properly. Thank you.

==================

FIRST POST EDIT

I added in Cantarella for the boys to sing. I know the other songs can be generally quite high so I thought to put a well known KAITO song instead of Fire Flower.

Grah! I hate to be a bother, especially since I want to join, but the new Saihate definitely isn't the original either. This is the original.

Well.. I mean, unless you were going for the style of that arrange.

Oooh lovely idea, I might try to join this x3

But I think you will get more auditions if you skip the gender lists.

I've got some girl friends that consider joining, but their pitches are pretty low so it will be a bit awkward for them to sing the girl choices.
Also there might be some guys that will work better with those above too.

There are many voice types, so I dont think it's an good idea to limit the singers in this way.

The point in arranging particular songs that are well known is because some of the themes we have chosen may restrict certain songs from being used and take people out of their comfort song. They can sing the song in an original way if they wish but make sure that it's still on the same tone. If they really are struggling, then I suggest they discuss with me personally about a song choice.

Okay but then I think you should rethink the song choices.

The girls have two high pitched songs and one not as high pitched to choose from.
The boys can choose from a high pitched, a netrual song and a low one.

The girls should have some more variation in pitches or it will be unfair.

[EDIT] Never mind, I am taking away the song list and putting a theme instead. Everyone check the first post for the theme.

In b4 all the auditions end up being saihate

More on topic, I might join. This looks like fun. :D

Audition sent~~ ^^;;;
