Disappointment Theatre Season 2
Project Overview
Ever read a thread of negative customer reviews, YouTube comments, Twitter replies, and anything else on the internet that drives angst and brings out the worst in people? Well, what if there was a way to find out if those same people sound as bizarre as their online complaints make them out to be. Ponder no more as Disappointment Theatre, the audio drama that brings online reviews to life in the style of old time radio plays, gears up for its second season!
What I am looking for is a core cast of versatile performers who can really feed into the absurdity and outrage of internet discussion forums and the people who spearhead them. Primarily, we are looking for those who can voice more than one character, as this will be an ongoing series. For that reason, this is an abbreviated list that explores the general range of characters to be portrayed during the podcast's run. While I will provide descriptions of how I want each character's set of lines read, feel free to surprise me and go a separate direction creatively. When submitting, please label your .mp3 or .wav sample as "YourName_CharacterName" (ex: "John_Comic Nerd").

Most importantly, have fun!

Disappointment Theatre Audition Update
Hello all, I want to thank you for your interest in the project! Casting decisions will be made over the weekend, so you can expect more developments very soon. Much appreciated, M'Jean
College undergrad who drinks heavily on the weekends. Read with drunken slur, as though chatting with the bartender.
A huge DOUCHE with absolutely no sympathy or care towards his students. He makes these inappropriate comments about drugs and drinking in class as well as humiliates students for being on their phones.
On top of all that, he’s a Vietnam War veteran with the NERVE to be a COMMUNIST!
Overly critical, corporate executive type that only expects unreasonably high quality from everyone and everything.
All the people served before me got trays, but they jammed mine in a bag even though I was dining in! Is the labor market too tight?
These workers need to go back to their previous jobs they “advanced” from. My dog's outdoor yard and house is cleaner than this dining room and it doesn't even have the tabletop graffiti.
Laid back comedienne. Speaks as though giving a stand-up comedy routine.
When I reached in the bag to get my burger I noticed once again it wasn't hot. I asked if they were microwaving the burgers or something? I don't understand why my food isn't hot. He took the bag back---clearly annoyed---and asked the girl in the back to give me a burger from the grill. Is it me or should I not want my HAMBURGER HOT?!?!
Condescending, immature high school student who would likely never face any consequences for harmful behavior.
This place sucked ass. It took 4 people in the drive through to get our order right. They told us they no longer carried items on the menu, and then another voice would pop up and say they did. We got our food and the girl handed us our drinks---Coke and root beer---and told us "I don't know which one is which. Here ya go!"
Authoritative, gruff patriarch. Would most definitely start a fight at a little league game.
Save yourself the aggravation of wanting to eat something and then getting exactly the opposite of what you asked for.
A little message to the owner/manager there: GO TO HELL!
Frantic and neurotic. Forever the victim of circumstance and misfortune.
I went to ask for soap three times and they did nothing! That was when I started to think the male workers---when they went to use the bathroom---they did not wash their hands!!! Here I was, about to order a dirty doublestack special with filth fries!
This place would shut down for good if it had an honest, thorough inspection!
Sarcastic and sassy; upset but still maintains a sense of humor.
The icing on the cake was when she finally handed me my food without even so much as muttering a word to me. She offered up a nice glare though. Much appreciated.
She was wearing gloves but didn't bother to take them off or change them while handling cash. What's the point of wearing gloves to handle food if you are going to keep them on while handling cash and then return to the food?
Repulsed/disgusted by the absolute thought of sugar. Feel free to intersperse gagging throughout the line read.
The coffee? Forget it! I have completely thrown out a full coffee---On more than one occasion. When shall I learn?---due to over-sweetening.
I swear, the employees want to rot my teeth and stomach with the amount of sugar they add to my drinks...even when I specify just a little, and hold up my hand to make the smallest "little" symbol with my thumb and pointer finger. SUGAR HIGH!!!!!
Optimistic and slightly flirtatious. One of the few, rare positive reviewers in these threads.
I have been to many coffee shops but this one went above and beyond, which is shocking because I think going to Dunkin after the age of 22 is basically admitting defeat and scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Even when I got to the window, he greeted me with the sexiest smile and gave me my order through the tray to keep a safe distance. He definitely deserves to be promoted!
