[@MariaCarmenGuillermo]

​@@Azrila_The_Reaper I think he sounds the same in auditions and in official

Honestly, it’s pretty obvious that Jorge somehow managed to get the ACTUAL gods and goddesses to come into the studio to record. This is the only explanation.

[@TheDTSZ]

Looking at this it’s crazy how in character they look in the studio, Steven being rageful, Luke having that royal feeling about him, Tayla having that manipulative charm, mason looking cursed with knowledge, Troy absolutely embodying Hermes and kj’s dangerously beautiful voice

[@Kaven999]

Plus I love that Steven is holding a trident in the booth. He's such a Poseidon

[@enchoshi4596]

Troy is literally Hermes, in the flesh

[@doomsanity9689]

I feel guilty when I can't remember all these incredibly talented peoples name. I love when someone adds all their names. ❤❤

[@Nobody_dw]

Absolutely agree! Although imo Mason looks more cursed in the audition. Guy is visualizing his OWN path

[@catastr-sophie2288]

@@enchoshi4596i think that Hermes would absolutely name himself after the city destroyed by Odyseuss’s trick just to get a role in the musical about his offspring

[@Spiderman_Homeless]

I have always seen it as him acting to be blind like Tiresias, who can only see the future and past flashing in his vision

[@AwkwardlyAnimated]

He truly is

[@ValerieFarnesBachmanComposer]

The power of sound editing. 😍 This is not to dis on him at all, his voice is perfect, but take it to the studio, add reverb and all the effects and suddenly it's 🔥🔥🔥. Good editing takes great voices and turns them into perfection.

[@sunghost-by4fx]

The singer for Poseidon just has that feel of a person who grew up breathing in salty ocean air in his voice. The singer for Hermes has that jazzy feeling to his singing. The singer for Zeus has that commanding vibe that fits Zeus perfectly. The singer for Scylla has that eerie, off-putting vibe that fits Scylla like a glove. The singer for Tiresias has a voice that makes you feel like he's seen a *lot*. The singer for Circe *screams* magic 110%.

[@Zephirite.]

It’s insane what a good mic can do. You can hear the potential in their auditions, but in the musical, they reach another level.

[@Virginny]

Also, the soundproofing, Can't forget that.

[@RavenSutcliffe]

Luke got possessed in the recording booth, but Troy and Mason came pre-possessed omg Like Troy didn't open his mouth and I was already seeing Hermes with the little come-hither gesture, and Mason's eyes had me stumbling away from whatever he'd seen

[@J1407b_slugcat]

PRE-POSSESED IS A PERFECT DESCRIPTION

[@Shepe1304]

That Luke transformation from audition to official was so good

[@holdeenyo8914]

all of these voices are phenominal. But I just want to say that finding the singer for poseidon was a one in a billion find. Man has the most unique, intense voice I've ever heard and it was him who made me fall in love with this musical. but also god damn Scylla's actress is also something else. Everyone deserves props for how incredibile they are, but these two stand out to me

[@Akazaji]

Not unique, but certainly not common. He has the same vocal style as Jake Williamson, who plays Clavius in Swan Princess II. You can totally hear it in the track 'You gotta love it'.
