Later Alligator Dub Re-casts!
Project Overview
This is a re-cast of a few characters from the original project. The original project was set to begin in March of 2020, and included casting decisions based on people that would be recording in person, and not remotely. Obviously, Covid had other plans. You can find the previous casting page here: https://www.castingcall.club/projects/later-alligator-dub.
Later Alligator tells the story of Pat the alligator, a (mostly) harmless and (probably) innocent reptile at the center of a conspiracy that could bring down the biggest, scariest family in Alligator New York City: his own!
This game is absolutely oozing charm and love, and the writing and characters are absolutely incredible. I just wanted to get some solid actors together and have a good time giving voices to the wonderful array of characters in this game.
About me: I'm a professional voice actor who's done work at Funimation, and has been training and growing in the industry for several years. I'm a laid back dude, and I just want to have a low stress good old time putting together some voices for some good good gators.
Production plan: I plan to either release everything as one large video on youtube, or to make this a small 4 or 5 episode series broken up by the different districts in the game. The game consists of 31 family members that mostly all have a scene of dialogue and a minigame, and some minor characters that just have a couple lines of dialogue. Some of the minigames are puzzles with lots of dialogue, which will be kept, and some of the minigames are more in the realm of actual minigames, (pinball, matching, there's one that's just flappy bird) and those will be skipped. I plan on casting for all of the main characters here, and am willing to cast one actor/actress as more than one part, but probably not more than 2 or 3.
I've reached out to the creators of the game, and they've given me the go ahead so long as it's just for fun and not for payment, which means I won't be able to make these paid parts. Thank you for being understanding.
I'm just looking for some actors and actresses that are willing to make a choice with their character, take direction, and have some fun with it. Access to discord for updates and potential live direction is preferred, but I'm open to other forms of communication if you're unable/uncomfortable with that. Whether you're recording on a Neumann or your cell phone, so long as the sound comes out nice in the end it doesn't matter to me how you got it done. <3
General Notes:
A concerted effort was made in the game to make sure that the player never sees their character's face until the very end of the game. So all the lines referencing how visible the character's face/eyes are, make reference to the joke that the player can't ever actually see what they're taking about.
I am happy to give critiques on auditions if you would like! Just make sure you put it as a comment with your audition if that's something you'd like, please!
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to add me on Discord at Goat Boi#2596 to message me, or send me a private message here and I'll get to it as soon as I can!

Pat is a young alligator whose birthday is today. However, he believes that his family is out to kill him, and he asks you for help to uncover what "The Event" of that evening might be.
He's a lovable coward, much like Shaggy and Scooby from Scooby Doo. He's awkward and afraid of his own shadow, but very goofy and adorable.
I think he should have a higher pitched voice, but otherwise I'm open to interpretation on this one. He's the center of the story, so I'm looking for a confident actor here. Make a strong choice with the character, show me that he's super friendly but also incredibly afraid of anything and everything.
Usually I love coming to John Johnny's on my birthday like this! Staying in the hotel, floating in the pool, eating two bagels at the continental breakfast, eating two soaps in the complimentary bath basket... But this year... I've got a problem.
Sorry, I saw your shadow over me and I thought some kind of restaurant assassin was descending from the rafters to take me out! I know there's no rafters here, but assassins are tricky! They can improvise!
I can't believe it! You found all three pairs of shoes that I own! Every shoe kind is represented here: Brown, sneakie, and tropical!
Gentle Lorenzo is Pat's SUPER BUFF younger brother. A total bro, but also a total sweetheart. Lean into that BRO energy.
Sorry Brosephine, I didn't see you there, shrouded in total shadow by the monolith of my beefy bod!
Me? People call me Lorenzo, on account of it being my name. I work downtown at the Brodega fitness center and mini mart, being inspirational, aspirational, and non-recreational. I'm very serious about my job, Brosanne.
The Event? You mean tonight? To tell you the truth, Brolette, I was sworn to secrecy. On my honor, over a bottle of whey protein and a stack of those muscle magazines I keep under my bed. My strong jaw is strongly closed. Although.. despite my problem-free, GMO-free lifestyle, I am having a muscle tissue issue I could use some help with.
A creepy guy who you meet in an alleyway, he wants you to peruse the sketchy wares he has hidden in his trenchcoat. The joke is that he seems menacing, but he's actually sweet and just wants you to critique his paintings. Maria hired him to do a little art for the event.
Here's a reference clip, because I think it's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk7ADzhTQQw
You look like an alligator of good taste. I can tell just by the very visible expression you're giving off. A gator of high calibur; of luxury few can afford! I may have just what you're looking for, my friend.
You see this coat? Nice, right? Got it at the Creep's Warehouse semi-annual sale. I have some interesting wares inside it, as well as my bus pass. Which is less interesting, but has a fun puffy sticker of a hot dog on it.
Let us just call me Gary for now, yeah? Good ole Gary. Trustworthy Gary. Gary ain't never hurt a fly. I mean, like, for sport. I always eat any fly I hurt. You know, circle of life for bug eating alligators, and all that.
Just a very very sweet old grandpa. The kind you could sit and listen to tell stories for hours. He drives the Trolley around town.
I would like his voice to be very gentle.
Oh, hello there! I don't usually get visitors in the control room like this. It's actually quite nice to have some company besides the various rodents ardently trying to eat my feet and ankles.
Call me Clancy. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Unless you're in here to rob me, in which case I'd ask you kindly not to take the dollar I have in my breast pocket. That's for my afternoon old man licorice snack. If I don't have that, I'll turn back into a pumpkin!
Pat? My grandson? A funny fellow, that. Always wearing his little hat and bandana. Makes him really recognizable though. You know, like for marketing and such. Funny fellow, that Pat.
Maria is Pat's mom, and she's just as sweet and loving as can be. Give me as much mom energy as you possibly can. Thinking that a Minnesota accent would be perfect for her.
Here's a reference video to the kind of mannerisms that I'm looking for: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OymMl734Ews&ab_channel=DaveRyanShow
Oh dear, I think I may have left my scrapbooking scissors at home on accident... Oh! I found my scissors! It must have been your approach that gave me good luck stranger! I'm Maria, It's wonderful to meet you!
Do you mean my son Pat? Oh, I'm just so proud of him! It's his birthday today, don'tcha know? He's so funny with how he treats himself to a hotel stay every year on the day! He just loves that continental breakfast! And those free tiny soaps. I do get concerned that he eats too many of those however. Suds shouldn't be coming out the snoot of a boy that age...
Since you're already going around town, would you mind snapping some pictures of the family? I doubt that anyone would want me to use their photos from the early 2000s. We all made some pretty questionable wardrobe decisions back in those days.
Big Mama is ANCIENT. She's never seen, and stays inside of a coffin. Her age in the game is described as BC. Basically, Very Very Old.
She reads your fortune, and is the Oldest Maid.
Her words should be very drawn out and slow.
Come closer... Yes... Let me see your face... You've made it so far, to come here. Then again, I've learned that everywhere you go, that's the farthest you've ever gone!
I'm as old as time itself. You are not ready to yet know the depths of my being.
Wisdom comes from knowledge. To learn more, you must come closer, sit, and light the candle.
