Absolutely love Ayron's portrayal of Antinuous as I prefer a colder, calculated villain myself. He's amazing for this role and I love how much detail you put into thinking of characters and their mindsets (I do the same it really adds to the detail). Can't wait for the next saga Jay! ❤
Thank you so much friend!!! I’M so glad you enjoyed it!! I also really love the versatility and range Ayron has!!! Like we practiced some of his lines in Legendary and he can switch between the scary and the smooth instantly! Ahhh he’s so great :)) thank you for being here
"We've suffered and sailed through the toughest of hells now you tell us out effort's for NOTHING!?" "Odysseus, I am currently seeing your entire life flash before my eyes, on loop, with shuffle on. You're lucky you're getting anything at all."
honestly these tips are really helpfull no matter who you're trying to play. the "im the good guy" mindset isnt much good either compared to "i need to save my city because my uncle lives there"
Seeing a new "Epic" video every now and then is such a delight. Between these and all the animations people do of these songs it just continues to hype the final musical.
I think if it goes to stage then the roles likely will be played by the same actor. Especially parts like Scylla and Aphrodite - that only have short singing parts in 1-2 scenes/songs, they will definetly be doubled up with other characters.
This man right here (Jay).. his not just "making a thing", this is a work of passion! You can see how much soul he has breathed into Epic. Thank you for these snippets, they add immensely to this epic journey we are taking with you. And a humble thank you with greetings from Greece, for working on the Odyssey, which I have loved since before school basically ❤
I have never gotten chills the way I have hearing this exact snippet of Ayron singing Antinuous’ song. I played it on loop when it first came out and I still can’t stop myself from breaking out into a smile getting giddy every time I hear it. I have never had such a physical visceral reaction to someone so perfectly fitting a role.
_woah._ one, hel _lo_ that Antinous part is fantastic- And two, as a teen trying to get into theatre this is actually really useful information for me!! Thanks so much for being so open about the process!
Ayron is phenomenal. The actors are great, every single one - but Jorge is brilliant! He makes it fits so perfectly, making just the right adjustments, with such precision. This is Apollo's level!
The sigh of relief I sighed when I realised the audition on tiktok was Aryon and not someone else, cause I thought u changed the person completely to Aryon when it was actually him all along, I'm glad it's still him 😂😂
i was like oh yea that makes sense and then the breaking bones part was really hilarous to me. I think you have a amazing eye for potential not only were you able to change the feel of the performance with some small notes but you also found the perfect roll hidden under a audition o-o
He has such a stunning and powerful voice, I'm so excited to hear the finished songs! I really appreciate how thoughtfully every role is cast, it's so clear how much passion is in this project and there are so many talented voices. Thank you for sharing the process!
I think it's really cool how you saw that his voice was potentially fitting for Antinous. I saw his Tiresias audition and I thought he was amazing for it already. But when I heard a snippet of the Antinous's demo, I was mindblown.
It's so fun getting these updates and I havent been this excited for a musical soundtrack since the broadway version of Hadestown was doing drops. This is all amazing and such a fun process to watch. All the details have so much thought put into them.
YESSSSSSS This man is amazing. He MADE this song for me. I keep hearing this snippet from Gigi's animatic and I CANNOT HANDLE THIS DUDE. He is like terrifying and so damn sexy. Totally feeding my villian love in a crazy way. BEST voice for these lyrics!
Hii. I'm studying to get a degree on Literature and currently re-reading the Odissey for my ancient greek classes. It sometimes gets really challenging so, whenever i feel overwhelmed, i just listen to your songs and they INSPIRE and make me enjoy this classic so much more :) So thank you Jay!! Big hug from Argentina
You never cease to amaze us, Jay! Honestly, it means so much when you post these videos and wrap us into the glory of Epic. It really engrosses us in this amazing musical, and I can't wait to see the final stage production (and hopefully attend it)! I am so excited for the Ocean saga, and I hope everything goes smoothly!
It’s been so amazing seeing EPIC come together, I’ve been following along for the past 2 years and it’s been so cool to see the hard work, passion, and talent poured into this! Can’t wait for the next saga drop 😊
Dude, I wish I could sing because I LOVE Epic sm and I would def audition for it if I could sing and had the chance 😂 I can’t wait to see it all come together!!!
Are there any more roles open? I would absolutely die to be a part of this fantastic musical, and I'm Hellenic polytheistic so it fits my life so well! I also went to vocal school, and love to sing/act.
I love it so much that we all get to experience the process of story telling, music writing, casting, pretty much everything! In this musical :D It's so great to see how something this great and well thought thru gets created. You and all of your team are doing an amazing work Jay! 🙏💖
That’s quite an interesting process ! I never thought there was so much works and details put into it ! Once again showcasing a passionate and competent team !
I love how much thought you all put into this. That's what makes it unique. I discovered epic through an edit from my favorite book (Warriors) with the song My Goodbye. As a Greek mythology nerd myself I needed to check the original and the other songs out immediately and they are AMAZING. The interpretation, the voice actors portraying the different characters and the music overall are a masterpiece. I can't wait to see the finished musical. I'm already hyped up ❤
What I got from this was that singing is actually a lot like writing! In both cases, you gotta crawl into the characters' heads and figure out what makes them tick, and as someone who writes a Lot of fanfiction, I 100% understand how this can help singing a character to life! :D
I'm really getting into this musical recently (it's brilliant!) so it's really interesting to see some of the process! Are there any roles left to audition for? I love mythology and musical theatre, so this is exactly my thing, and I'd love to be part of it if possible!
Im waiting on the next saga and the little teasers are killing me like Odysseus killed the infant i swear. Because the voices are so good, and i just cant wait to hear the full versions of the songs or maybe try and cover a few or draw an animatic. Hope you and everyone in the cast is doing well 💜 (Also please tell me there is going to be more Hermes because i need more of his laugh)
I can’t wait until I can have all these songs on repeat every single day❤😍 I’ve been playing the screenrecorded demo of Hold them down and your version of get in the water at the beach for the past week, so excited for more✨💛😍
Getting chills… it’s coming closer, closer… and closer… I’m so excited. Good notes to find out, too about the call back system. And it’s like finding gods and goddesses on earth… weird. **
I think portrayed the suitors honestly and through their own lenses actually makes them way creepier. if you portray them as simply only wanting the throne hearing the length that they’re willing to go to get that sounds so much worse. Specially the last verse
I’m going to be really interested to hear what Tiresias and Poseidon are going to sound like. Because I love how haunting Tiresias’s song is. As for Poseidon, I’ll be curious because I’ve heard several UA-camrs cover those songs and each one has an interesting spin on it. One of my favorite covers/auditions for Poseidon was Morgan Clae because she sold me on the idea of a more motherly rage towards Odysseus. So, I’m going to be really interested to see the final cast for Epic when everything is finalized because I bet it going to be amazing!
Thats awesome! He seems a great fit for the role! also still, to this day, Penelope's casting is by far the most perfect. You are really great at casting
I actually auditioned for tiresias (through email and anunlisted youtube video) so this is actually really nice to know. I doubt I'll get called back but it was fun!
I’m so hyped to see how Epic changes from the drafts you sing vs actors portraying the characters! And yes, Strong Man ™️ has default action Break Bones ™️ 😂😂😂
Guess what, in my school we’re writing a paper about Odysseus and the cyclops and at the same time myself is reading the odyssey and I’m gonna listen to your playlist during both of it
Jorge's music:hold him, while I slowly break his pride, his faith, his (lyrik i dont remeber), and his bones His personality: this is because I love pankaces 🥞
Hi, I'm just wondering if there are any opportunities in EPIC for a child actress? No worries if not. I love the music and the story and I'm so excited to see/hear the finished product!
Hey jay I have a question! which of your musicals do you like the most? My heart says go(stupid humans previously) or epic(even though it’s not fully done yet)?
Question, can i audition on UA-cam. How old do you have to be. And are you still holding auditions? And also love your musical! I’ve been inspired to keep working on writing my musical!
I almost spit out my chai when you said “and for some reason to break Telemachus’ bones”
Yeah, personally I was having a sip of some good ol water and it almost left my mouth😂
HAHAHAHAHA I’M SO SORRY 😭😂 BUT IT’S TRUE IN BOTH LITTLE WOLF AND HOLD THEM DOWN ANTINOUS IS LIKE “IMMA BREAK HIS BONES” HAHAHAHA
@@JayHerrans It definitely is, he has an odd obsession with breaking bones…. 🤣
Hahaha child abuse
I’M ON A BUS AND I’M TRYING SO HARD NOT TO CRACK UP
Don't forget that all Antonious wants is to celebrate Telemachus's birthday
Yes!!!!!! I love that parody
He just wants to cut some cake!!
He just wants to invite everyone to his party 😔
When the prince wonders what his gift is only his mother and I will know 🎉
Absolutely love Ayron's portrayal of Antinuous as I prefer a colder, calculated villain myself. He's amazing for this role and I love how much detail you put into thinking of characters and their mindsets (I do the same it really adds to the detail). Can't wait for the next saga Jay! ❤
Thank you so much friend!!! I’M so glad you enjoyed it!! I also really love the versatility and range Ayron has!!! Like we practiced some of his lines in Legendary and he can switch between the scary and the smooth instantly! Ahhh he’s so great :)) thank you for being here
Ahhh can't wait to see this character in action! ☺️ :))
@@JayHerrans Can't wait to see the next saga too! :)
@@JayHerranshol up- he has lines in legendary?!
@@bookbutterfly6613 Yeah I am shocked too. I thought it only Telemachus' song.
"We've suffered and sailed through the toughest of hells now you tell us out effort's for NOTHING!?"
"Odysseus, I am currently seeing your entire life flash before my eyes, on loop, with shuffle on. You're lucky you're getting anything at all."
😂😂😂😂
I cackled at *insert british accent* 🎶"Fight, little Wolf, fight" 🎶
As soon as I read this, I pictured Brennan Lee Mulligan’s cockney British, “I’m not a man to be F***ING trifled with!”
same, that caught me off guard🤣🤣
i instinctively imagined a piece like Vivaldi's Spring or that one other posh piece you here everywhere
Aryon definetly seems like a great fit for Antinuos.
honestly these tips are really helpfull no matter who you're trying to play. the "im the good guy" mindset isnt much good either compared to "i need to save my city because my uncle lives there"
Seeing a new "Epic" video every now and then is such a delight. Between these and all the animations people do of these songs it just continues to hype the final musical.
His voice is so full and powerful, I can't wait to see him sing more! Hold Them Down is going to be so menacing
2:43: "Duel, young canine, duel. Willest thou entertain me? ☕️☕️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧"
"Chomp, young canine, chomp. Let us observe how dost thou dost fare. ✨☕🇬🇧"
"Duel Young Canine, duel wish to be an adult male"
@@YEthanT-N”Then duel young canine ,duel”
“Or perish young canine, perish”
“Don’t you know it’s duel or soar little wolf soar*
He sound amazing; but gah, I wish Ayron had a secret clone allowing to play two parts, because his Tiresias was so brilliantly haunting
I think if it goes to stage then the roles likely will be played by the same actor. Especially parts like Scylla and Aphrodite - that only have short singing parts in 1-2 scenes/songs, they will definetly be doubled up with other characters.
Very cool, Jay :) Thank you for sharing your work with us like this. I'm really looking forward to the whole musical 🥰Greetings from Germany 😁
OMG THANK YOU FOR MUCH!!! I’m so glad you enjoyit 🥹
Greetings from Germany right here too

That bit were you said 'and fopr some reason to break Telemachus's bones' was really funny 🤣🤣
I can’t wait to hear aryon sing little wolf
The sigh of relief I sighed when I realised the audition on tiktok was Aryon and not someone else, cause I thought u changed the person completely to Aryon when it was actually him all along, I'm glad it's still him 😂😂
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this musical! I discovered it a few months ago, and i know almost all the words to almost all the songs! Also, HI! ❤
PERFECT voice for for Antinuous wow. I can’t wait for the fully completed project
I'm so exited for the next saga to come out!! Do you have a date yet??
Also "and for some reason to break Telemachus' bones" got me laughing so hard!!
i was like oh yea that makes sense and then the breaking bones part was really hilarous to me. I think you have a amazing eye for potential not only were you able to change the feel of the performance with some small notes but you also found the perfect roll hidden under a audition o-o

Congrats to Aryon Alexander, can't wait to hear the whole Antinuos songs
It's so fun getting these updates and I havent been this excited for a musical soundtrack since the broadway version of Hadestown was doing drops. This is all amazing and such a fun process to watch. All the details have so much thought put into them.
YESSSSSSS This man is amazing. He MADE this song for me. I keep hearing this snippet from Gigi's animatic and I CANNOT HANDLE THIS DUDE. He is like terrifying and so damn sexy. Totally feeding my villian love in a crazy way. BEST voice for these lyrics!
I'm so excited to hear more! Ayron is incredible, fantastic addition to a brilliant cast!
Will i die with honor of waiting for this masterpiece, or i will see the glory of the full album's arrival ... Ah..I shall never know😢😢😢
I was right!! Wooo! Ayron was a great cast, Jay. You have a great ear!
Dude his voice gives me chills and I’m not complaining I’m so excited for this ❤❤❤
I’m so excited to hear the full songs!! I love the in depth look at how auditions work!!
Hii. I'm studying to get a degree on Literature and currently re-reading the Odissey for my ancient greek classes. It sometimes gets really challenging so, whenever i feel overwhelmed, i just listen to your songs and they INSPIRE and make me enjoy this classic so much more :) So thank you Jay!!

It sounds so good. Like legitimately sounds so good.
So cool to see the process! I’ve loved keeping track of the epic progress you’ve shown us for the past few months
Aaaaaaahhhhh I’m so excited right now! He sounds great for the role! I’m literally screeching like a little girl 😂
He came back as antonious i didn't know that he did so well
This was a perfect audition I'm ready to cry in the challenge and be doing the orange justice in hold them down
That’s quite an interesting process ! I never thought there was so much works and details put into it ! Once again showcasing a passionate and competent team !
HI JAY!!!
HI CLARK!!! 😊
I've never been more ecxited for a song. This is so beautiful, thank you for sharing the process with us.
absolutely obsessed with antinous' voice, thank you so much for this video!

Thank you so much for sharing the behind the scenes; it's all so fascinating and seeing the passion for your project is inspiring!
Anxiously waiting for the rest. Glad you are taking the time to make sure it's what you are looking for.
Thank you for sharing the process it was really neat! I've had fun playing around with your characters voices myself lol 😅
Loved how simply this was explained, thanks Jay!
Thank you so much for all the work you do! I’m always listening to your music even when I’m meant to be doing work XD it’s so good!
I think portrayed the suitors honestly and through their own lenses actually makes them way creepier. if you portray them as simply only wanting the throne hearing the length that they’re willing to go to get that sounds so much worse. Specially the last verse
HI I LOVE THIS IM SO GLAD YOUR FINALY CASTING ANTINUOUS HES PERFECT BUT I CANT GET OVER HOW WELL YOU FIT POSIDEN AND I FEEL LIKE NOBODY CAN TOP YOU
He’s perfect for the role
“The Queen has stood alone for 20 years” don’t you mean 12 years?
I’m going to be really interested to hear what Tiresias and Poseidon are going to sound like. Because I love how haunting Tiresias’s song is. As for Poseidon, I’ll be curious because I’ve heard several UA-camrs cover those songs and each one has an interesting spin on it.

Thats awesome! He seems a great fit for the role! also still, to this day, Penelope's casting is by far the most perfect. You are really great at casting
I knew who you were gonna ask him to also audition for immediately (yes this video is very old also UNDERWORLD SAGA CAME OUT TODAY)
this is so cool! i love how you break down the process
Love this! Hope more auditions open up soon!
I’m also excited for Aryon being Antinous!
I actually auditioned for tiresias (through email and anunlisted youtube video) so this is actually really nice to know. I doubt I'll get called back but it was fun!
HI! The audition process makes a lot more sense now 😂
I can't wait for this specific songs full release,I do think it's unfortunate Topher didn't get the role,but aryon did so well,so I'm not complaining
I’m so hyped to see how Epic changes from the drafts you sing vs actors portraying the characters! And yes, Strong Man ™️ has default action Break Bones ™️ 😂😂😂
Oh the mythical callback..😳.my dream yet unreached. But i'll get there someday!
Guess what, in my school we’re writing a paper about Odysseus and the cyclops and at the same time myself is reading the odyssey and I’m gonna listen to your playlist during both of it
“Classy Antinous isn’t real, he can’t hurt you.”
Jay: ✨fight, little wolf, fight ✨🕺🥂
Jorge's music:hold him, while I slowly break his pride, his faith, his (lyrik i dont remeber), and his bones
His personality: this is because I love pankaces 🥞
Is there gonna be anymore auditions??? Ik this was 8 months ago but oh well
Hey, its my favourite character, Perimedes!
Cannot wait for Little wolf as well!
And for some reason to break Telemachus's bones😅😂
Hi, I'm just wondering if there are any opportunities in EPIC for a child actress? No worries if not. I love the music and the story and I'm so excited to see/hear the finished product!
I TALK ABOUT THIS TOO MUCH 2:28
Singing or talking, I’m captivated by jays voice
Hey jay I have a question!
which of your musicals do you like the most?
My heart says go(stupid humans previously)
or epic(even though it’s not fully done yet)?
It was a PERFECT callback!
God I would do anything short of killing to be apart of this show 😍 He sounds amazing as Antinuous!
His Antinuous is perfect
Question, can i audition on UA-cam. How old do you have to be. And are you still holding auditions? And also love your musical! I’ve been inspired to keep working on writing my musical!
Woah
I'm a bit sad it wasn't topher for Antinuous, but this guy is very good for sure 😮
Bummed Antinouos isn't a bass... There are already so many tenors in EPIC and villains are always a good slot for some nice resonant deep voices :(
Please post auditions for Apollo here on UA-cam as well! I would LOVE to offer my voice in this project. ❤😊
I honestly thought that topher ngo was the best antinous, but i really love ayron's voice. It just fits so well!
I wish I knew what roles were open for auditions I would love to audition even with what little experience I have
