There are several lost episodes of the Nickelodeon show Invader Zim. They were not able to be finished before the show was cancelled. However, even 14 years later (after the show was cancelled in 2006), the show has a dedicated fanbase, still creating fanart and other kinds of media related to the show. A group of those artists are trying to bring one of the cancelled episodes to life: "Top of the Line". I am one of those artists. We have also already animated a lost episode called "The Trial". That can be found here. We are looking for voice actors to voice several characters in the episode. The characters include: Zim, Tak, Skoodge, Gir, CHIPZ, Dib, Gaz, and Tallest Red and Purple, along with a few extra roles. Feel free to send in your auditions if you're interested. PLEASE LEAVE YOUR DISCORD TAG/SOCIAL MEDIA/OTHER MEANS OF CONTACT WITH YOUR AUDITION.

Tak voice reference (skip to 2:30)
Zim has a high-ish voice and is often loud, with shifting vocal pitches.
HA! I AM ONE OF IRK'S FINEST INVADERS! YOUR LIES DON'T FOOL ME!
They must've understood their grave mistake in putting the amazing Zim on trial, and now they recognize my true po-ten-tial! (Potential is said with the signature weird Zim voice) Skoodge, can you believe that you're in the presence of someone as great as ME?! CAN YOU??!!
ZIM is a GENIUS!!! Yes all according to plan... (short maniacal laugh)
Tak is an angry, bitter Irken who feels slighted by Zim. She is also serious, cold, and calculating.
Wait a minute, you're no Irken! You're the big-headed creature from Earth! The one who was working with the spontaneous moron who ruined my life! (Angrily)
On a scale from 1 to stupid, you exceed grading criteria. (Snarky)
Get under the control panel, and don't say a word. (Serious)
Gir is the lovable robot servant of Zim. He speaks in a high pitched childlike voice, and yells a lot.
(Give your best crazy laugh in Gir's voice)
How are ya, CHIPZ? You wanna be pals? We can make pancakes together!
I'm gonna sing the Doom Song! (Sing the Doom Song)
Skoodge is a fellow Irken that has been kidnapped by Zim. He has a somewhat deep voice, and is somewhat of a pushover.
Yup. It's the only thing that kept me company during the long, painful periods of isolation and hopelessness in your basement. Did you know you still have that demon squid living in there? Anyway I call him CHIPZ!
Isn't he just lovable?
Zim, are you sure you're even allowed to attend? The invitation was sent to me-- (cut off)
CHIPZ is the robot servant of Skoodge. He speaks in a serious, robotic voice. (Art by loushecocoon on Instagram)
CHIPZ DOES NOT LIKE PANCAKES! CHIPZ THINKS ROBOT IS STUPID! CHIPZ PREDICTS MANY YEARS OF HORRIBLE SUFFERING IN DEEPEST DUNGEON FOR ROBOT!
CHIPZ LAUGHS AT GIR'S PITIFUL ATTEMPTS TO SUBDUE HIM!
(Say any generic evil robot lines)
Dib is a human, and the thorn in the side of Zim. He has an eccentric voice, which compliments his eccentric personality.
There's no time for shoes, Gaz! Not when there's evil afoot!
Hey, that's weird. This isn't Zim's ship! Where did he even get that? (Beat) Doesn't matter. I have to stop him before he does... something evil.
I need to think of a plan! Come on, thiiink, THIIIINK... brainblast! (Beat) Dammit, I thought I'd think of something if I yelled that.
Gaz is the sister of Dib. She is terrifying. Avoid making her angry at all costs. She has a deep and menacing voice for her age, making her even more terrifying.
HEY! SHUT THE F**K UP!
If I don't see you back here by 7 PM young man, I'm going to kill you.
Maybe you can tell Dib to stop stealing my cereal. And can you fix his stupid head? Or at least stop the thing at the bottom that keeps making words?
Tallest Red is one of the two leaders of the Irken Empire. He has a lower voice than Purple's, and he is the more serious one of the two.
(Said hastily and loudly to distract someone)
(Choke on food briefly) Wow would you look at that I could really use a refill! Oh Johnny!
Hey! The toaster's broken!
The coordinates are set so that everyone EXCEPT him will receive it. There's no way he'll see it!
Tallest Purple is one of the two leaders of the Irken Empire. He has a much higher voice than Red, and is generally the more crazy one.
WE DARE NOT SPEAK HIS NAME!!!
Hmmmm... now that I think about it, we don't even know any of their names.
WHA-ZIIIIIIIMMM??? You TOLD me he wouldn't be here!
