The audition cover page is here.

We are also casting the below role for this series, if by chance anyone fits the bill: 
[IVY] She/her. 20-30. Chinese/Biracial. Seeking Singers. Ivy is THAT GIRL and knows it. With her pop-hits, she is mega-famous and loves to talk about it. On stage, Ivy is a bombastic over-the-top performer, who loves to wear crazy costumes, and is an all around DIVA. The center of attention, Ivy has a big ego and often has an out-of-touch attitude played for laughs. She doesn’t think of other people's feelings, and can be cutting and mean. Secretive, always performing, and never real, Ivy is disrespectful and is ultimately acting out for approval. She is hurting, her family doesn't care how successful she is - her work is trivial to them. At times she can be remorseless, vengeful, fueled by her inner pain, she is often just on the edge of her snapping point. RECURRING
