EOTB: Casting Call For FOX Network's "Alter Ego"

 

Some of you may have heard of the "Masked Singer" in which celebrities perform on stage in costume. It seems the network will soon be showing another show: "Alter Ego." In this show, the contestants won't be performing in real life, but as avatars. A few days ago, Linden Lab posted about it on the official Second Life blog.

Attention, Second Life musicians! Do you have an incredible yet unexpected singing voice? FOX TV is now casting amazing U.S.-based singers for the new nex-gen talent competition “Alter Ego,” which is scheduled to air Wednesday nights at 9 p.m. on FOX TV immediately following “The Masked Singer” this fall.

“Alter Ego” is an all-new original singing competition where lost dreams and second chances are reignited when singers from all walks of life become the stars they’ve always wanted to be. However, these contestants won’t perform as themselves. Rather, they’ll be given the chance to show how they’ve always wanted to be seen, creating their dream avatar to reinvent themselves and perform like never before.

For anyone interested in applying click on this link: https://uniquevoice.castingcrane.com/ ; People will have to enter information such as name and address, but also "social media handles" such as Second Life account names. There are also questions such as, "What personal struggles have you had to overcome?" and are asked to submit a one minute video of themselves singing "to an instrumental track."  

So if you have a good singing voice and able to design avatars, this just might be the show for you. *

Cartoon of the Day: Third Knock From The Sun

Taken at the Happy Vixen. For those who don't know, the shirt is about a reoccurring gag from the show "Third Rock From the Sun," in which one of the characters, Sheldon, has a number of quirks. Among them, knocking on the door of his lady friend Penny three times, then calling her name. Some computer geeks liked it. Others disliked it as they saw it as mocking them. Guess to avoid trouble, this guy  knocks on copper, three times.

Correction:  Turns out the name of the show was "Big Bang Theory." Oh well, I never did watch either one.

Second Life Resident Dreams of Auditioning For "The Voice"

A few people have been talking about the movie "Sing." But one Second Life has dreams of singing on stage in real life. The catch, she could use a little help getting there.

The Newser was recently informed by one of it's readers that Ghost Hatter Firehaven (Ladycherokee Wetherby), had started a gofundme page under her real-life identity of Lasca Brandow. The objective, to raise enough money to get to the February 4rth audition of "The Voice," a singing competition reality television show. The event takes place in Las Vegas.

"I am told I should by a lot of people when I sing," Ghost told me of where she got the idea of getting on "The Voice," going on to say she sings much in real life, "Karaoke places. I love it. When I do the blues I am told I should go for 'The Voice,' and I am told I have a lot of heart when I sing." She says she sings most everything from blues to rock.

Ghost mentioned her mother in the gofundme page, "My late Mother always wanted me to do something with my voice." This included being on TV, "doing one of the contests, or doing voice overs."

Ghost hopes to raise a total of $540 USD. She hopes to have the money by February 2.
