Hello Everyone!
Welcome to the Casting Call for After Hours Studios' dubbing of MeanBeanZone's Toonverse!
About The Project
This will be a complete dub of MeanBeanZone's Toonverse, a comic universe where practically any classic cartoon, Disney or otherwise, is in one place! With famous faces such as the Animaniacs, Max Goof, José Carioca, and more, this universe is certain to have something to offer everyone! A fair warning though. There is a lot of romance involved in this series, and while rare, there are times when a character may curse. Keep this all in mind when auditioning! Alongside this, these comics are just fan comics. Some comics may be unfinished, and while there is PLENTY to go off of at this time, keep in mind that MeanBeanZone, the original artist, will do these comics as they please! We are simply dubbing them; we are NOT involved with MAKING the comics.
Alongside all of this, this is only round 1! These are just the main characters involved in the comics, and there will be more Casting Calls, at least one more, in the future! If you aren't casted here, you may have another chance then!
Here is a link to the original artist, MeanBeanZone! PLEASE give your support to them as well! They are an amazing artist that deserves all the praise you can give!

What Is Expected?
While this is all for fun and purely for our enjoyment, we want to bring the best quality we can for people to enjoy! So, make sure you have the best quality you can for your auditions! There is no specific kind of microphone we are looking for; just make sure your voice is clear and there is no background noise! Also, please do at least two takes for each line, up to a maximum of three!
When You're Casted...
...You'll be given a link to our Discord server and given a special role! With this role, you'll be able to access our production channels, allowing you to interact and speak with the rest of the team involved. Even if you aren't casted, the Discord server is a public one for all our fans! You just won't be able to see what we're doing behind the scenes.
But Most Importantly...
...Have fun! This is all due to passion, and we all just want to deliver entertainment for everyone and have fun doing it! So go wild with what you do, and don't be afraid to try something crazy! Even if you're not casted, we might keep you in mind for future projects! And believe me, we have plenty of ideas in store! So go forth, and give it your all!
Alright, casting for each character has been completed. Thank you all SO MUCH for putting in your auditions! We received a lot of wonderful attempts, and each one was amazing to listen to! Thank you all once again, and good luck on your future endeavors!
Alright, the time has come! Thank you all so much for submitting your auditions! We'll be closing the submissions and be looking over everything, and then sending in our decisions later on. Thank you all once again!
A small update for you all! We'll be closing submissions at 5 PM CST, so be sure to get your stuff in before then! Thank you all so much for your interest! :D
Blondie is one of the main characters of the comics initially, alongside the other members of her family. A caring, charming, and devoted woman, Blondie does all she can to try and support her family. While she is normally kind and considerate, she can showcase a fearsome anger when someone annoys her, or worse, messes with her family!
The voice direction for Blondie should be similar to Loren Allred. The closer you can hit her voice, the better! Blondie herself is a person who is not afraid to be loud. While she can easily become nervous and quite, she is not afraid to speak up against or for others in any situation! Even if that means screaming, so be sure you can scream if you try to go for this voice! Here's a link to some clips with Loren Allred!

(Nervous and tired) Well... Technically three jobs. If you consider being a mother a job.
(Excited, then cooing to her baby) Hey! That's a name, right? Sunny! Do you like that name? My little Sunny boy~
(Annoyed) You know your saving grace is that little girl's adoration for you, right?
This suave, smooth-talking fellow is the kind of guy EVERYONE likes. Kind, charming, confident but not arrogant, it's no wonder José was able to win Blondie's heart so easily. And while he may have a somewhat flirtatious attitude, he is devoted to his family and won't betray them for anything.
José is an official Disney toon, surviving since 1941 right alongside his best friend Donald Duck! With cartoons and movies that involve him, this parrot has a whole list of voices to use as inspiration! However, you MUST be able to speak in a convincing Brazilian accent, and a heavy one at that! José also often implements Portuguese in his speech, so if you are not fluent in the language, you must be willing to learn how to pronounce these words! Here is a link to a collection of clips with José so you can generate some inspiration!

(Thankful) Thank you, curação! I will handle everything, I promise!
(Excited) You MUST let me take you dancing sometime! We would have, as you Americans say, "a blast"!
(Playful consideration, then blatant flirting) Perhaps the Salsa is what you prefer! Or perhaps the Tango is more to your liking~
Jamie is a big man with an even bigger heart. Often soft-spoken, Jamie is a kind guy who wants to ensure he can care for those he loves. While he initially was nervous around the family he didn't even realize he had, the constant support he received from José allowed him to reconcile with Blondie and become a part of Sunny's life once more. Now, he's a proud father who tries his best to care for his entire family.
Jamie should have a voice direction similar to Dwayne Johnson! Just like his son Sunny, Jamie is the kind of guy who wears his heart on his sleeve. He can easily show his emotions any time he speaks, and he sometimes doesn't even realize. You should be able to showcase this emotion in anything Jamie says, and also be able to showcase genuine nervousness, as Jamie gets nervous a lot at the beginning. Here's a link to an interview with Dwayne Johnson, showing his voice in a calmer fashion!

(Annoyed with his coworkers) Yeah yeah, I'm comin'. Don't get your panties in a twist.
(Somewhat distracted, but attentive) I wouldn't say I enjoy it, but it pays the bills. And I get a great view of the city every day...
(Excited and in awe at his baby son) Oh, wow! Look at him go!
The son of Jamie and Blondie, step-son to José, and boyfriend to Yakko Warner. Sunny is an angsty teen with a lot of problems to figure out, and far too many people trying to embarrass him. While Sunny may groan in exasperation from Yakko's antics, he's just as easily swooned by the Warner toon as well. Sunny wears his heart on his sleeve, being both energetic and showcasing his emotions quite easily. While his thoughts may be a secret, how he feels never is.
Sunny should have a voice similar to Christian Delgrosso! Sunny himself has a lot of energy and is easily able to showcase his emotions! These are aspects that must be achieved for his voice! Alongside this, Sunny occasionally uses Portuguese in his speech! If you audition for Sunny, know that you will have to learn how to pronounce these words correctly if you don't know the language already! Here's a link to Christian Delgrosso's channel! This should give plenty of inspiration for Sunny's voice!

(Embarrassed and nervous) Uh- y-yeah. There's someone I'm seeing right now...
(In shock and panicked) Wh-What?! But papai! We've been planning the Smithsonian for months now!
(Excited) This is so cool, Zay-zay!
You know him, and even if you don't, you've probably seen him without even realizing who he is! The zanny eldest sibling of the Animaniacs, Yakko is a pure gremlin, through and through! With an attitude fitting of a comedic toon, Yakko is often joking around and pulling nonsensical stunts that confuse everyone around him. And he's all too ready to embarrass his lover if he gets the chance~
Yakko, as an official cartoon, has a voice already in store for him! You should be able to showcase the excitement and zanny nonsense that comes with being a cartoon; it's what Yakko does best, after all! Yakko is almost always happy, and even when he's not, he can easily bounce back. Be sure to put that energy into the performance! Here's some clips of Yakko's voice for inspiration!

(Supremely annoyed) Aren't therapists supposed to be bound by confidentiality?
(Confident, in a showman mood) He looked pretty flustered though~ Guess I just have that effect on people~
(Teasing and flirting) So! Watcha think sounds better? Yakko Smith or Sunny Warner~ I'm not picky~
The only sister in the Animaniacs, Dot is just as nonsensical as her siblings. Despite this, she also holds a bit more weight on logic and thought than her brothers, letting her almost be the responsible one in the group. Of course, she shows this in the strangest, most cartoonish ways possible, but she is responsible. Really!
As an official cartoon, Dot has a few voices already made! She's energetic and crazy, just like her brothers, and she isn't afraid to show it! Despite that all, she also is the voice of reason for the Animaniacs, as reasonable as one can be when they're a living cartoon. Be sure to put that energy into what you do for this role! Here's a link to her official voice for inspiration!

(Confused) Huh? You never skip family therapy! What gives?
(Confident) And sent! That wasn't so hard, was it?
(Casual, then teasing) Just you and me this time, Wakko. Yakko has stuff he needs to figure out today~
Somehow even more nonsensical than even his older brother, Wakko is a being of pure chaos. With a running gag of acting like a wild animal at times, Wakko is almost oblivious to the inner workings of social life. He has only a minor role right now, but he very well could have more lines in the future! Keep this in mind when you audition!
As an official toon, Wakko has his own voice already established. Just like his siblings, be sure to put as much energy as you can in your performances! Here's a link to some clips of his voice for inspiration!
(Confused) What's the hold up, guys?? Are we going to family therapy or not?
(Casual Happy) Oh neato! Hey sis, can we stop by Macdonald's on the way home?? I want a Mario movie happy meal toy!
Max is the son of Goofy and the protagonist of his own movie, "A Goofy Movie". Much more calm and reserved than his dad, Max is a chill person who tries his best to help those he cares about. While he is only a side character for most of the comics, he is Yakko's best friend, and has some prominent roles in certain parts of the series.
As an official toon, Max has a voice already in store! The entirety of "A Goofy Movie" can be used for inspiration. Max himself is pretty calm and casual when speaking, not overly energetic like most toons. This should be reflected in your performance when auditioning. Here's a clip of Max speaking as reference, but there are plenty more to go off of than just this one!

(Concerned, but stern) Come on, man. I haven't seen you this bummed since they canceled the original Animaniacs. What's up?
(Exasperated) You don't wanna know. Trust me.
(Excited) Really?! Far out! Why'd you switch?
