Provisional Tenure
Project Overview
A semi-realistic story of a group of highschoolers navigating Brayden, the sardonic newcomer, being introduced into his ex's new world.
Equal parts ensemble comedy, drama, character study, and romance. This piece sits right between true slice of life, and the complexity of prestige television. The humor is specific, the characters are complicated, and everything is meaningful.
Currently in early production, seeking voice talent who are committed to genuine character work. Most likely will need an animator/artist, please contact me if interested in that aspect.

Male 15-17 Teen, The Protagonist and Narrative Anchor.
Externally he is: Dry, Sardonic, and Irritated.
Internally he is: Anxious, Vulnerable, and much more emotionally invested then is let on.
The Performance requires multiple registers in tandem without jarring transitions.
The internal monologue especially requires an almost incoherent level of emotional masking.
This is the most demanding role in the project.

Fucking fatass you don’t need a drink.
(Thinking): So he really did fall for me never getting my phone back.
(Delirious): Thank you, I love you. Wait! No-
Male 15-17 Teen, The confident ex.
He is confident, smooth, and extraordinarily charming, but with a subsurface layer of deceptiveness.
He is not a villain, but also not entirely honest. The performance should never collapse the superposition, but should certainly lean on the tender side.
Needs to sound almost effortless in all maneuvers but in a subtly controlled fashion.

I kind of never told my parents about him, everytime I just told them he had strict parents.
Brayden *snap, snap* Brayden, you with me? Come over here, sit down.
Woah Lebensraum slow down.
Male 15-17 Teen, The ensemble's comedic engine, but not its fool.
Mason is: Perceptive, Knowledgeable, and uniquely caring to everyone underneath the performance.
The comedy lives and dies based upon the energy and timing rather then the lines.
A performer who can truly play, and live within the role is essential.
This character will define the comedic tone of the project.

Okay king vague, elaborate.
What kind of a stupid name is Zebulon?
(Hurriedly): I’ll get some water!
Male 16-18 Teen, The perfect inhabitation of Lawful Neutral.
Blunt, economical with words, and has an extremely specific forceful-deadpan energy.
Every line needs to land with some amount of substance.
He isn't exactly emo, but is very much someone who cares not for explanation.
A semi-major role.

Your schnoz is the size of the Gobi desert
Can you guys cover for me real quick?
You don't even have drama, buffoon.
Female/Androgenous.
This one is the staple weird/fun one.
She only speaks in clicks, yet somehow everyone perfectly understands what she means.
She is fully socially integrated, incredibly smart, and a core part of the ensemble, not a joke/background character.
This role will only require the ability to somehow turn tongue clicks into expressive speech.

Using only clicks, and non-verbal sounds. Play this part, it is a meaningful dialogue with one saying something shocking, and the other responding with disbelief. It should be recorded in 2 takes, one for 1, and another for 2. 1: ". . ..." 2: ". . " 1: ". . . .." 2: ".. . ." 1: ". ." 1: ". . . .. ." 2: ". .. .!" 1: ".!"
Male 15-17 Teen, The genuine friend.
The friend above all else. Uncomplicated in a room full of deep characters.
He is very much not naive, he is simply friendly in a non-forced, straightforward way.
Should have a sort of light stumble to his speech.

Heyo! Whats poppin' guys and guysettes.
I mean, Plum Pudding is objectively superior to Orange Blossom, but you do you bud!
Do you want to be best man at my funeral?
Female 15-17 Teen, The Goth Girl.
Quickly dismissive but somewhat empathetic. A kind soul who tries to be open about every emotion and intention.
Is very much a sharp woman, but still tries to hide it because she feels it makes her less relatable.
Quiet, and yet pertinent when she does choose to speak.
Always pursues Peyton, with little to no avail.
What are you going to be spending half an hour doing? Just fucking around?
So.. are you going home with anyone after this?
We are going to drama!
Female 40-45, The overworked mom.
She very much tries to balance working a busy job and managing their kids, but fails.
Is always stressed to the point of being overwhelmed if the situation is any more complicated then a one on one conversation.
Has a certain level of justified favoritism towards Brayden/Julianna, while (to her) reasonably leaving Corienna out to dry.

Corienna, get in the car. I don’t want to see you right now.
Hey sweetie, do you know where your sister is?
Oh, come on Brayden, everybody is gonna love you!
Julianna: Female 11-14, The youngest.
An extremely buoyant force on her first day of middle school. Almost entirely unaware of the parental nightmares happening around her.
Very naive.
Corienna: Female 12-14, The Black Sheep.
A young girl who has been essentially rejected from her own family due to a horrific event she was the cause of.
But despite that she is still positive, she wakes up every day saying to herself that today is a new day, that she can be different, even if she still gets rejected at every opportunity.
After being rejected she becomes slightly dejected, but eventually returns to being chipper.

Julianna: I'm so ready for my first day as an SBMS'er.
Corienna: Hey so do you have any double A's? (Gets yelled at), Oh okay.
Both: Hey Brayden, could you buy something for me with your debit card?
Female 15-17, The girly pop.
Plain and simple, is the girlypop of the cast. Is just occasionally there, doing girlypop things.
Needs to have a slight childlike twinge to the voice.
Otherwise, a lot is fair game

Yo, Chat? You just turned into a tomato 😆
Heyyy! What's good girly pop, I heard all about you from Vicky.
Yea, duh you can come with girly!
Female 40-45, The enthusiastic teacher.
Bubbly, yet incredibly competent, always allows students to believe they have the upper hand.
Sarcastic constantly, but in an almost maternal way.
Somehow always knows how best to handle a situation.
Should have the voice feel slightly younger then how they act.

It's time for the best part of yall's day, me!
Does anybody know what the quadratic formula is? No? You must have completely forgotten everything you've ever learned.
Please elaborate upon why you are late... Just sit down bro, what are you standing up for.
Male 50-55, The Driver's Ed Coach.
Legit just think off any gruff, "I only care about sports, but admin makes me do this" type of teacher.
There is very little depth beyond just a little bit of being mean towards everyone.

Hey Rager! .. Nice glasses.
Okay, pull out your boating manuals. Why is nobody getting them out! Let me go and fucking get them.

Female 60-65, The senior teacher.
Is a typical senior teacher, but one with a little more conviction, and much more knowledge then usual.

Alright everyone pullout the big Red book from under your desks.
Hey, you 3 in the back, could you please quiet down?
I'm not sure if that's true, let me look it up.
Female 15-18, The Tomboy?
Honestly this character probably is only going to show up for this one episode, and maybe a few other times.
I'm thinking they are a bit of a tomboy, but take a spin at it, I'll see what I like.

Dawg, watch the fuck where you're going.
You are legit hotter then the sun queen.
Male 25-28, The fun band teacher.
Isn't forceful, and moreso guides the lesson, prevents rules from being broken when he's on offical duty, but otherwise only cares when it genuinely disrupts the band.
Has a light voice, and very much throws in jokes.
- english

Alright everyone, get out SB Band Warmups.
So, practice starts at 3 sharp on the field, and if ya'll ain't out there we are running 3 laps.
