I wasn't sure where to post this...so I saw Mockingjay part 1 yesterday and I must say that I thought the movie was ok, not as good as the first two, but still ok. There were aspects of the movie that were point on with the book and others where I thought they didn't need or needed improvement on. One of the moments I really loved was the way Jennifer Lawrence sang the Hanging tree song. I would love to do a cover of the song a cappella, meaning no instruments as I don't really know how to play an instrument to get it like the movie version. I'd love to have a singer (probably not me) do the main person's (Katniss) lyrics and then more people join in in the middle of the song like the version below. What do you think? would you all be willing to do this with me? and if you would like to do Katniss' part please let me know with a "audition" vid (doesn't have to be an example of the hanging tree it can be anything) below so we can get the best katniss. The rest could be the backup later on. Also if someone knows how to play an instrument and wants to play and send me a cover of the instrumental part of the song that we be much appreciated. just contact me and tell me.

I'd love to be a part of this! I just did a cover of this on my channel and I have the movie lyrics written down. Here it is, my "audition" for the main part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWVAa6AuAOU I have to mention that it was pretty hurried, I didn't have time to learn the melody perfectly so I sound pretty flat at some points but with more I time I'd surely do better. ^^ I can join in the choir too if you pick someone else as the lead voice! <3

yay! two people want to join ^.^
@stellatsu that's a great idea. I'll send a PM to everyone and see if more people want to join this project. I'll add you to the chorus list.
@oonamusic I'll keep your audition in mind and see if anyone else wants to audition too before I make a final decision. If you don't get Katniss' part I'll for sure add you to the chorus.
I'll also make a template as an example for people to follow when they practice and do their part(s). Also I'll set a date from when auditions end and when I'll pick the person who will sing Katniss' part.
I figured that I'd officially open this project (template and all) the weekend after Thanksgiving (for us Americans) that way people can focus on their holiday without any worries of a chorus project because for me (Idk about y'all) I'm the one that does all the cooking in the family, so chorus project + school work + cooking a thanksgiving/vegetarian meal = major stress.

omg thanks for all the support for my first time on here ^.^
ok there a few questions flying out there and I feel I need to address them, but before I answer any of them I just wanted to let you know that i'm sorry that i'm a bit behind on cutting all the parts and doing an example vid. In America we have a Thanksgiving holiday, so basically it means I get 5 days off of school. However, it doesn't mean that my life stops, meaning all my professors pack on the homework. I have a term paper to write, read a 130 page book, study for a quiz, and a project all due Monday, so I've been a bit busy this weekend. I'll be uploading an example vid probably NEXT weekend because of all this craziness. I hope you can all understand that.
Now for all the questions:
@lochter you can be part of the chorus
@Constance A. you can be part of the chorus part too. and the video ISN'T private. it wasn't the example vid because I haven't created it because of all my school work. I shall be creating the example vid NEXT week. The video was the plain real song that Jennifer Lawrence sang so people can practice it until I get the example up. However, the song is copyrighted so YouTube has either deleted the video (which they have done when you've seen it) or they've muted the audio all together. To tell you the truth I've changed the audio THREE times because of that reason. So I'd recommend just YouTube searching "The Hanging Tree Jennifer Lawrence" to practice at the moment till I have the example video up and running. Does that make sense?
@childhoodneverenders thanks for your audition
@gallicwarrior No problem. take your time I haven't set a date yet for auditions to end and i'm still in the process of making an example vid.
@stellatsu thanks for your audition really? I've had a hard time creating an instrumental for it. probably because i'm so new to the fandub/cover thing. Did you make the instrumental yourself in the video?

I'll make the instrumental soon. I've got the original file, don't worry.
On vocaroo you can record things or upload things. The quality isn't WONDERFUL but enough for an example or to post the song so that people know what you're talking about. Here's the link : http://vocaroo.com/?upload
You upload, then you've got "embed" and it allows you to directly post on the forum (with an html code)
Thank you

is anybody a soprano here? i'm an alto and i'm having a hard time doing the soprano part for the "Ahhh's" (2:42-on in the original vid) for the example vid. I tried a couple of run through and I sound terrible because my voice just can't get up that high. I'm like all out of pitch and flat and it gives me shivers just thinking about that. would anyone who could get up that high be willing to record their voice to add in the example vid, otherwise you'll get me sounding all flat and out of pitch during the soprano part. *sorry* ^^
Also technically, there is no alto part in the original song, but i'm going to add one for those (like myself) who cant get up high. it will be basically follow the low instrumental parts of the original.

Each time i hear someone say "I'm an alto" I'm thinking about "fuck this shit ! So done with it !!!" The parody of let it go.
Well technically I can reach that note but I wont be able to sing until Saturday.
Please harass me.

hahaha lol well I really love the sopranos part in music, but unfortunately my voice is just like "no I refuse to sing that high"
Saturday is fine i'm not thinking of posting the example vid until after Christmas anyways because I'll be busy tomorrow (dentist) and this Saturday Christmas caroling with my friends, and baking for the houses we carol too, a few friends, family members, and the children I teach at my church. Also not to mention I have to wrap Christmas presents for my family. Not to mention completing my part of "a dream is a wish," so yeah Saturday is fine...no rush.
thank you so much for volunteering (pun intended).

Awh thanks Ramen, but Stella sort of volunteered (pun intended again) before you, so I only see it fair to let her do the example vid part first. Thx though, but I'll add you onto the backup list ^^ <3 thank you again, your too sweet

I would love to participate. I will try Katniss part but I wouldn't mind taking part of the chorus. Now it's late but tomorrow I will listen to the other auditions, will see if my voice fitts the song, if I could make an instrumental cover (however I think that you already have one person to make an instrumental?) ...etc ^^

OKAY everyone can throw me one or two or three or more stones. Because I just gave up on you and I forgot to do the track to help you and the instrumental and everything. I'll try to do everything as soon as possible.

it's ok. I just figured you were so busy mixing other projects, so I figured you just still had it on your to do list. goodness know I've done that before where I've put to many projects on my plate, but i'm trying to get better at it.
I have my parts ready for an "example video." I just needed help with an instrumental piece as i'm still new to this "making tracks" thing, i'm more of a vid editor, but I like branching out and trying new things. I'd really appreciate it if you did it asap though. thanks
Also just wanted to let people know that I haven't forgot about you either. please be patient with me because I'm beginning to learn that dubbing is a lot different than making MEPs. idk about other people, but in my personal opinion dubbing/making covers is a lot harder than editing MEPs, at least for me it is, because there are so many added components. I give props to people who have been making covers/dubbing/etc for years.

of course you are more than welcome to participate. the auditions are still open and they'll be open until I get a instrumental track (as you can tell i'm a newbie to the dubbing/cover world). And yeah Stellatsu is/was suppose to make the instrumental track, but she's been extremely busy with other projects. it seems like she still is making the track, but idk at this time what her plans are and how long it will take. I've never really made an instrumental track before, so idk really how that process works exactly.
