Coupon Kids (Webcomic by Miraculoustang)

Coupon Kids (Webcomic by Miraculoustang)

Project Overview

Coupon Kids is a webcomic by tumblr user Miraculoustang. It is about the lives and struggles of two roommates, Pik and Quat, and it is really funny. It's not the most well known webcomic out there, but it's hilarious and full of character, and I would love to be able to bring it to life with a full voice cast, and that's where you come in.

I'd like to make a series of dubbed Coupon Kids comics to be posted on youtube and tumblr. If you're interested in being a part of this, the requirements are below:


  1. 1. Please have a microphone that is clear enough sounding. You don't need anything fancy, just minimal background noise and general fuzziness.



  2. 2. Please be able to commit and keep in touch. It's no fun being in a project where nothing gets posted for months because everyone's waiting on one person. That being said, if you can't deliver lines for an extended period of time, don't worry about it, just communicate with the rest of the group.



  3. 3. While the comic isn't exactly sexually explicit, it still talks about sexual themes, so I'd be a little more comfortable if the group was 16+. It's not a super hard number, but please be around 16/later teens at the least.

Note: A good number of the characters in this comic are nonbinary or genderfluid, so any and all genders are welcome to audition for any character. Also because of that, the voice descriptions may say something like "tenor" or "alto." That does not mean you will ever be expected to sing, it's just my attempts at making a more gender neutral way of describing how deep I head canon these characters' voices.

If you'd like to read the comic for yourself, it can be found at http://couponkids.tumblr.com/

Most of the descriptions are ripped straight from the character page of the comic, to give you a sense of the vibe of the comic.

Happy recording!

Latest Updates

  • 1st wave casting/extended deadline

    Thank you all so much for auditioning! Within the next couple days I'm going to go through the auditions and cast the ones I really like. However, because a good handful of the roles (basically all the female roles and sunny) have no auditions, I'm gonna keep it open another few weeks. If any of you were considering dropping in another audition or know someone might want to, don't hesitate to send one in! Thanks!

  • *pleading* Ok. Granted. But normally, if I was caught THIS red handed I wouldn't be denying it this much. So I'm being BRUTALLY honest when I say I am so not sexually active enough to own a pair of sexy, fuzzy handcuffs.

  • *anxiously scream a little bit*

Pik's love interest, who maintains an odd, contractual relationship with him. He works at a coffee shop.

Voice type: tired, anxious baritone, not much self confidence in voice.

  • *Defeated explanation* It's okay, I was pushing it. Yeah it's against our contract to fraternize outside agreed hours.

(he/him)
The classic bored convenience store cashier. He was Pik's lab partner back in high school, and Pik hates him more than anyone.

Voice type: bored, annoyed tenor/baritone, maybe a little nasaly.

  • *Bored and sarcastic* To what do I owe the horrible honor?

  • *Snickering to himself* I get it now. You're the boring mellow one, and you're the manic pixie dream one. You're both just too equally self absorbed in your own little sitcom roles to see how little I care about your bad sack of clothes.

  • *angrily muttering* Go on back to the filthy fuddruckers you slid out of...
