Storyline
Now casting for The Melobies!
We are on the hunt for three (3) charismatic individuals with the ability to sing, dance and engage with a young audience (1-5 year olds). The three stars will be the human component performing as part of a richly animated world in a large set of YouTube music videos aimed at families with young children, both male and female. The performers will perform on a green screen stage where they will be mostly lip-syncing pre-recorded songs that will have recorded in advance.
Think iconic Children’s bands like The Wiggles (most recently on the cover of the Rolling Stones) but with more silliness and fun like Blippi, ready to make a mark in the family entertainment industry! Singing songs written by an multi-Emmy nominated composer Daniel Ingram, most celebrated for his award winning songs on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - actors will be singing and performing as characters in the band. Characters are part of a singing band, so talent must be willing/able to sing in character. **We are hoping to grow this project into a touring live show so stage performance experience is a bonus!**
