Exterminator - comedic animated short
Project Overview
The Exterminator is a simple and humorous short animation about a first time pest exterminator going door to door talking about their service. Unfortunately the first house on his list has a house owner who is quite fond of these ‘pests’ and the conversation goes quickly down hill.

Updated script for homeowner
Ive added one more script line for the homeowner (from the Exterminator short story) For those who have already submitted an audition for the homeowner; I feel like there wasn’t enough dialogue for me to judge voices so I added in a extra line. You do not have to resubmit an updated audition with the new line unless you would like to.
The ‘exterminator’ is an inexperienced young man (18-20 years), new on the job. He’s going door to door talking about his company’s pest extermination service. He’s quite nervous but determined to start the job on a good note. When the first homeowner reveals she owns a rat as a pet (sitting on her shoulder as she answers the door) the exterminator becomes an anxious wreck trying to hide the fact that he’s actually an exterminator.
Exterminator:
(takes a quick breather) (determined) “alright… first day on the job. All I have to do is tell them about my service and have ‘em sign the papers.”
(Nervous) *clears throat
“um, do...would you uh.. want to take this time to-to talk about our lord and savior Jesus Christ?”
The rodent loving homeowner (20-25 years) becomes increasingly annoyed by the exterminator’s incompetence at articulating what he’s at her front door for. When she realizes he’s actually a pest exterminator she wants nothing more and slams the door.
Keep in mind: her tone of voice is slightly deeper and more mature to imply she’s a bit older than the exterminator
Homeowner (Fem):
(Mildly annoyed but with a calm tone) “Hey, what can I do for you?”
The occasional but subtle confused/agitated vocalizations:
(Skeptical) hmmm
(‘Say again’) huh? / heh?
umm...
hmph! (As she slams the door)
(Updated script; don’t worry if you didn’t get this line before, if you get the part you could just add this in)
(Growing increasingly upset as she speaks; she’s not yelling though) “Hold on. You think you can fool me?? I can’t believe you rid of such innocent creatures! I’ll have non of this! Good day!”
