Project Main Details
I need a rap for an animated educational spot where Benjamin Franklin will be the rapper. We don't have a particular voice in mind. I did the temp voice myself in a Simpsons "Dr. Hibbert" voice (about the only voice I can almost do), but don't let that influence you too much. It is important however, that your timing be almost identical to my temp rap.
I need to present the client with whoever I think we should hire. The best way to do that would be to record yourself doing the rap either a capella or mixed into the instrumental track I've linked below. Please don't watermark or other weird stuff if it makes it sound weird because it makes it harder for me to sell you to them.
If you're worried about getting ripped off (I'm honest, but I can't blame anyone for being suspicious in this business!) then just record a verse or two.
This pays $500 for a total buyout. The intent is it will air as part of a series of 25 educational spots. I can't name the network because there is not yet a deal in place. It's not one of the 4 majors. But my contract gives them total ownership no matter what they do. They can sell videos or CDs or make a major network primetime series or even sell this to the Taliban and there's nothing I can do about it. Nor would you or I collect any additional money. I don't think any of those things will happen, but I do need to be clear about the buyout situation. My music is buyout as well if it makes you feel any better.
I'll probably present demos to the client on Tuesday March 20, so anything submitted before Monday night or Tuesday morning will be considered equally (no preference for first or last submissions.)
Here are the links for the demo with my rap, then the instrumental:

Script Details
animated educational spot
$500 buyout.
A long time ago—talkin’ in the colonies
I made a happy living—a way to earn money
I loved to read and write so I learned how to print
Books and papers for the people—I really made a mint
Well 300 years ago we had a really bad deal
We were under British rule—the pressure was real
They had taxes, regulations and rules to beat the band
The power that they had was way out of hand
Put a crimp in business, put a dent in liberty
Just wanna be my own boss—don’t you all agree?
New thought! I am the government—the government is me—told my pals, Tom and George I knew that they’d agree
Used my paper for the power—told the people through the land—the more they knew about it they came and joined our gang.
We saw something wrong and we had to disagree
And we made a Declaration for DEmocracy
So take a look around—the rest is history
Now if you see something wrong you’re allowed to disagree
You see
We all have a voice in our community
You can pursue your own business, life and liberty
Just say “I am the government. The government is me!”
Yeah “I am the government. The government is me!”
