This call is now closed. Please audition for the new one at https://www.castingcall.club/projects/louie-friends!
Louie & Friends is a series starring various of my original characters! The series is a slice of life cartoon inspired by various kids shows I enjoy.
Louie & Friends stars various animal characters who all live their own lives in large cities or small towns, but are all good friends. Each story follows various scenarios with my characters, be it a job swap between two best friends, a mystery having to be solved, or a simple day out. Wholesome is often this show's middle name, and if someone's down in the dumps, or just needs a little boost of courage, everyone is willing to help each other out when needs be.
This project is a work in progress, and some elements might be tweaked over time.
Alright so I will be closing this casting call on Monday as it’s not getting much attention due to how old it is. But I am gonna set up a new one over the next few days so people can audition and whatnot. You’re still free to audition here, though, but please follow me for when the new one gets set up!
Louie's teddy bear and a wise companion for him. She’s a calm, wise, empathetic bear who wants nothing more than to help others!
Telly speaks with a high-pitched kind and caring adult Scottish voice. Think similar to Miss Hoolie from Balamory or a higher pitched Granny Murray from Me Too!.
Hello, I'm Telly. Nice to meet you!
If you keep the heid, I’m sure you’ll do a smashing job!
If you need a hug, I'm right here for you!
Pop-star pup-star Mika is the world's premiere teen idol. Despite being horribly manipulated by her parents, Mika loves to sing and perform.
Mika has a high-pitched voice full of energy and a very good singing voice. I’d love if you could also include a sample of you singing any song in her voice as well.
Heya! My name's Mika.
Uh, mom? I dunno if I should be writing any more songs today...
Good evening! My name's Mika, and I'm ready to raise the roof out of this place!
Donothan is Mika‘s dad, and he is very wealthy due to her popularity. He hardly cares about anything other than keeping Mika’s popularity as high as it can, much to her annoyance.
Don has a medium-pitched American voice.
Mika, come quick! The fans are waiting!
These jet boots are state of the art, the latest model! It cost us... (breaths in) quite a lot of money.
Mika, we're making this festival all about you. None of your unimportant friends.
Tiler is Mika’s mother. While she’s still overly greedy, she has a heart of gold and looks out more for Mika compared to Don.
Tiler has a somewhat motherly voice, but not too motherly, as she's still not super kind.
Mika, if you don't record the songs by tonight, your dad will be losing money on the next album!
Don, Mika's friends are really talented though. Surely we can have them perform?
Emmie is a tuba playing elephant who has a big heart, and wants to be a friend to all. She's pretty soft-spoken, and is a little shy.

Um, guys? M..my trunk keeps getting stuck in my tuba...

A calm wolf who plays trumpet for The Howling Harmonizers. He's cool as a cucumber and very relaxed, and he's best friends with Kimmie. He's also good friends with Emmie, as they both play in the same orchestra. He's not fond of shouting or loud sounds.
Indigo has a high-pitched adult British voice, but he's not super loud.

Me? Oh, I mostly just chill outside at night. I like the quiet, you see.
(annoyed) Nelly, I appreciate the energy, but can you maybe be a bit quieter?
A energetic, wild Burmese cat with a passion for drumming. An odd member of the Howling Harmonizers, as she has more of a rock-n-roll tone to both her voice and her drumming skills.
Nelly has a pretty high pitched teenage Canadian voice. She can be a bit of a large ham from time to time.
Hey! I'm Nelly! What's happenin'?
(shouting) WAHOO! Let's rock and roll! (quieter) Or maybe just, play jazz. Whatever floats your boat.
Argh! Waiting for Cindy to pick out a necklace is so BORING!
The Howling Harmonizers’ band manager. Penelope is a really friendly squirrel and helps out a lot of small up and coming musicians. She mostly prefers staying behind the scenes, but there’s a little bit of her that wants to go up on stage and perform with them as she can play the piano and the saxophone really well. Penelope has ADHD and she bounces from task to task really quickly and has a habit of forgetting things easily.
Penelope has a excitable high-pitched teenage American voice.
Hello, hello, hello! I'm Penelope!
Alright, let's do a quick sound test guys! Was Cindy testing her mic first or was it Kimmie?
Ooh! Ooh! Could I maybe perform with you four tonight? If you wanna of course. I'm always fine behind the scenes.

Please stop arguing, we have a lesson to get to...
Oh, the stage always calls for me kids. One day I'll be up there, acting in a play, but that's not going to happen for a while...
Carter is a young racoon who goes to the Cosy Countryside Primary School with his sister Connie. He’s really protective of his sister and tries to save her when she gets into trouble. He dreams of being a knight one day.
He has a pretty high pitched British child voice.
Hello! I'm Carter!
Connie, please watch out. You never know when something could strike!
Don't worry Connie, Sir Carter is here to protect you!
Connie is a young raccoon who goes to the Cosy Countryside Primary School with her brother Carter. She is really rambunctious and energetic, sometimes putting herself in danger. She’s one of Mika’s bigger fans, and she thinks she could be a good singer, but is horribly out of tune.
Hiiiii! I'm Connie!
Okay Carter, I’ll be careful. ….oh look, a butterfly!
I'd be the perfect singer for the play London! Just listen... (ahem)... (off key) La, la, la, laaaaaaa....
Stuart is a young turtle who struggles to get out of his shell. He’s shy and doesn’t talk too much, and prefers writing his thoughts to anyone he hasn’t familiar with.

Um… hi. I’m Stuart.
I… think I understand you a little bit more now.

Got ya. One strawberry milkshake coming right up!
Bode is Dani's caregiver. As a former detective, he runs the Layer Cake Detective Agency. He's friendly, helpful, and loves hugs.
He has a pretty welcoming, calm American voice.
Hello there. My name is Bode.
Looks like a tough case to crack Dani. Are you really sure you and Vincent can handle it?
I'd want the show's music to be mostly relaxed, usually quick cues for transitions between scenes, and I'd love each character to have their own theme music. I'd also need someone to help out writing songs too.
*Say something you think would fit*
Detective Dani is a friendly young duck who loves old timey detective films and novels, as well as strawberry milkshakes. She works for a detective agency and often gets called on to solve the town's mysteries. She can get annoyed a bit easily, but will always solve a case with a smile.
Don't worry everyone! This is a case for Dani, detective extrodinare!
I knew it! The suspect is CLEARLY... YOU!
The usual, one strawberry milkshake to go please!

Aight gang! I wanna hear you guys scream as LOUDLY AS YOU CAN!
Kimmie dude, you should maybe listen to some more dubstep! It's really fresh!
Kimmie is a quite literally chilled out arctic fox, and the complete opposite of Kelsie. She's relaxed and chilled out, and she plays the double bass in a jazz band.
Hey there. I'm Kimmie.
You look like you might need to chill Kelsie. Maybe try some deep breathing with me!
Uh, no thanks Kelsie. I'll just stick to the quieter twangs of my double bass, rather than dropping the bass, thank you very much.

Ow! Why is the gym's floor always so slippery?

Mouse mechanic Tiffany is small but capable of fixing up all sorts of things. She specializes in vehicles. Her brain occasionally gets frazzled from time to time.
Well hello there! I'm Tiffany!
You need some tires changed? If so, I'm the mouse for you!
Is this my wrench or my spanner? Aaaargh! My brain's frazzled again!
