WHAT IS THIS?
Wooden Plank Studios has created a series of Animal Crossing: New Horizons themed comics. WPS has given us permission to make a dub of this series and as such we are in need of some extra voices for the remaining rolls.
You can read the original comic(s) here.
See our previous comic dub work here.
This is our first casting call, so roles are paid (flat-rate), minimal (less than 100 words), and with all lines listed in the respective 'audition lines' section for each character. If all goes well, more casting calls for other comic dubs and audio dramas with more lines and higher pay-out will appear in the future.
REQUIREMENTS AND DEADLINES
THANKS FOR READING!!
Roles will be chosen by July 20th and we will reach out to our chosen actors providing payment for their auditions. If you have any questions, leave us a comment on this casting call or send us an email [ovascontact(at)gmail.com].
Thank you for your time!
Cheery and intelligent owl... until you bring him bugs.
Possible interpretations can be Owl from the Winnie the Pooh series, but otherwise feel free to take on your own approach.

"Hoo! You have something to donate?"
(pure unbridled shouting) "A SNAIL?! HOW UTTERLY ABHORRENT! MY SOUL CONVULSES WITH INTENSE HORROR AT THE SIGHT! OF ALL THE VILE CREATIONS OF GOD, THIS ONE IS TRULY INEXCUSABLE! LOOK AT ITS DINGY, WRINKLED, DISGUSTING BODY COVERED IN FETID MUCUS, THESE SICKENING CREATURES--! [language continues until illegible]"
(normal sweet voice) "...Anyhoot, as you know, he'll get the best of care here in the museum. Do you want me to take it off your hands?"
The reserved artist chameleon of Animal Crossing.
Considering Flick's gender has been construed across the internet, a voice fitting an effeminate male can be a possible approach. We have no hard-set voice in mind for this character so feel free to experiment.
(semi-shout/call) "I'm buying big bugs for big bucks folks! Don't hesitate to bring me beautiful specimens! Also commissions are open!"
"Yeah, what's up?"
(cheery) "Oh, you mean Graham? Sorry, he came by first thing in the morning. Had some very specific requests. Paid A LOT as well."
Sweet deer girl presented with a ridiculous scenario.
High-pitched and innocent sounding, but speaking in a deadpan. Typical anime schoolgirl or young cartoon girl.
(deadpan) "Okay. It looks nice, but you don't have to be so extra about it."
Stern and straightforward cop.
Any sort of of rough, deep voice with an authoritative tone would do nicely. Copper is there to take Mr. Nook away and nothing more.
(stern) "Okay, I've heard enough. Please don't resist, Mr. Nook."
Casual next-door neighbor anteater.
Standard middle-age or young-adult voice, not many specifics. A 'cartoon dad' voice can be a good approach.

(casual) "Morning Abel, what are you up to?"
Lester the hamster.
A joke from the comic is that Graham "looks like Lester from GTA V". To build off of that joke, a Lester sounding voice would be perfect.

(bombastic laughter before bleeding into normal volume) "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Oh you wouldn't understand."
