Bumbles McRumbles Casting Call
Project Overview
Howdy. My name's Jack. I run the Youtube channel Bumbles McFumbles. I have several videos over a million views and have over 80,000 subscribers. I'm coming to you today because I want to get voicework done for a series I make called the Bumbles McRumbles. Using WWE 2K14, I make odd wrestlers and have them duke it out in matches with ongoing storyline and character development. The series is enjoyed by a rabid fanbase of at least 200 people during it's premieres, and with each installment I've sought to improve its quality. That's why today I want to take the next step and include voice over for certain characters to give a more real feeling them, and put more personality on display. I'm putting up a casting call for a scene where in which two of the wrestlers, Cool Hat Paul and the Footbrawler, are looking for a tag team partner for an upcoming 6 man tag match.
First and foremost this is a comedy series so don't feel the need to take it too seriously. At the end of the day this is done as a joke. That said, I still want you to give it your all when it comes to effort. This is a series I'm very passionate about and will be looking for those that can treat silliness seriously. If I do end up casting you I'll get into contact with you over discord so we can hash out details, when you're available and direction in a more personal and easy to access setting.
I hope to hear from you soon.

Footbrawler is one of the two most important characters in the most dialogue heavy scene. He's a robot who was first designed to play football who later went on to become a professional wrestler for the Bumbles McFumbles Wrestling Association. In previous events he's often fought with Cool Hat Paul, eventually developing a silent respect for Paul despite still disapproving of his more relaxed attitude. The two are now a tag team, and in this scene are looking for find a third member of the team for a six man tag match.
Character wise The Footbrawler is abrasive, ultra competitive and doesn't have time for the silly side of professional wrestling. He wants to find someone who isn't going to cost them the match and will pull their weight. At the same time his serious nature often leads to him having to play the straight man in a world that is made up of freaks. He gets flustered and is quick to anger, often having to be reeled back in by Paul. Despite being outwardly hostile and aggressive to Cool Hat Paul, deep down he still feels a level of respect for him as a competitor.
Footbrawler's Voice should be one that has a nice base to it, someone that instills a sense of authority, power and roughness. A good vocal reference would be the typical football player but for a more specific example Richard Sherman is someone who I envision for this sort of character https://youtu.be/eP0FYeO1N2A

*Reserved but Aggressive* Paul I'm telling you right now, you drag another bum in spandex off the streets in here, I'll punch you in your crooked teeth.
*Disregarding The Person in Front of Him* And why should we let a literal clown like you on the team?
*Angry* Paul hold me back! Hold me back Paul, You better hope we're never in the ring together!
Mad Murder is a professional wrestling clown, kicked out of the carnival for being too aggressive and violent with her act, she found a home in the Bumbles McFumbles Wrestling Association, where she can fight to her hearts content. Now she's looking to become the third member of the team of Cool Hat Paul and Footbrawler.
Mad Murder is hanging onto composure by a string at any given moment. On the outside she's a fun loving clown and she tries to present herself as such, but when the bell rings she cuts loose and explodes into a flurry of moves. This is reflected in how she acts by constantly riling people up to try and get them to fight her. She's a pot stirrer, a line stepper, and loves every second of frustrating people.
For her voice, I think a higher pitched voice with a cutesy unassuming attitude that can shift to devilish would be appropriate. I want someone who can play both the upbeat clown aspect of the personality while also being able to embody the aspect of her personality that loves to push buttons.

*Introducing Themselves* Murder's the name, and I'm all about putting smiles on faces! And if those smiles are missing a few teeth, who cares!
*Excited and Giddy* Well if all else fails I can always try swinging a steel chair at their heads!
*Trying to Get Under Someone's Skin* Aw, is the big bad battle bot getting upset? Whatcha gonna do about it? Fight me?
The Greasetrap Arnie Scarborough is an old school professional wrestler who's been wrestling longer than most of us have been alive. He claims to have won championships all over the world, wrestled in the most prestigious venues, and made more money than anyone else. At least he claims to have. There's no record of him ever doing this and his only source is himself. He's a washed up has been who's trying to find work as a part of Cool Hat Paul and Footbrawler's Team for a 6 man Tag match.
Arnie is a carnie wrestler, constantly telling tales that get bigger in the retelling as an attempt to impress people and hopefully make money. He's an oddball, off-putting and kinda pathetic. Regardless of that he completely buys into his own hype. He tells every story like it's an absolute fact and will never let his confidence waver. If it ever does he simply tells a bigger lie to make up for the blow to his pride.
Arnie is a slurring mess. He's got a very noticeable southern accent with a tendency to ramble on without pause. His voice is gruff and sounds as though he's smoked a pack of cigarettes' every day for the past 40 years. He should sound like he constantly just woke up.

*Rambling* They call me the greasetrap cause down in Memphis people were always slippin out of my holds, but guess what I took that ball and I ran with it.
*Rambling* Listen here sprouts, I've worked 400 days in a year, I can play the electric guitar, I know the guy who made Myspace, You need a tag team partner, I'm your guy.
*Trying and Failing to Bargain* You just give me the date and I'll be down that ring like greased lightning, all I'm askin for is 50 bucks. That may not seem like a lot to you but it'd really change a few things for ol Arnie.
Zinthos is a rough and tumble redneck from the planet of Pluton 9 in the western part of the Solarplex System. After being kicked off his planet for rough housing, he came to earth and joined up with a biker gang, eventually riding into the Bumbles McFumbles Wrestling Association. Looking for his next fight, he ends up trying to Join Cool Hat Paul and the Footbrawler.
Zinthos is a take no shit sort of person, he's loud, brash, and in your face all the time. He's the sort of guy that will start a bar fight just to start one. The only reason he's wants to work with Cool Hat Paul and The Footbrawler is because he needs money for gas and beer. Zinthos is a simple man.
Voice wise is very simple, I want Zinthos to have the stereotype alien voice while having the inflections of Stone Cold Steve Austin. https://youtu.be/tjWPoQWdmjg
*Shouting like a Wrestling Promo* I'm gonna ride down to that ring, stomp a mudhole in the sorry jackass im fighting, and then walk it dry
*Shouting at Two People* Why should you pick me? Yah dumb son of a bitch cause I'm made of tougher stuff than the rest of these creampuffs
Mutantsaur is a genetically modified Dinosaur Bounty Hunter from the Planet of Exciton 27. He hunts criminals across the galaxy and looks to bag more heads in the Bumbles McFumbles Wrestling Federation. To get his hands on the high priced opponents he's going up against, Mutantsaur wants in on the 6 man tag match with Cool Hat Paul and Footbrawler.
Mutantsaur is a dinosaur.
For his voice I want a nice mix of intensity and gruffness that compliments someone being a vicious T-Rex. There should be a nice gravelliness to his voice and ability to convincingly raise your voice is necessary.
*Introduction* I'm Mutantsaur! I've crushed more skulls than anyone else, and I'm damn proud of it!
*Threatening* Listen you little punks give me the gig or I'll rip you in half!
*Confused and then angry* What are my qualifications? I'm a dinosaur!!
