Public Access Purgatory: Pilot - Background Characters

Project Overview

Welcome to Public Access Purgatory!

Second Casting Call

First of all, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who auditioned during our first casting call for the main roles. We were genuinely amazed by the amount of talent, passion, and creativity we received, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who took the time to audition and share their voices with us.

Now, we are opening a second casting call for two additional characters from the world of PAP: Sir Coont and Sad Bean.

While these two characters are not part of the main cast, they are important pieces of the PAP station and bring their own unique personalities, stories, and chaos into the world. We are excited to hear different interpretations and find the voices that will bring them to life.

Synopsis

Following the chaotic crew of a surreal TV station with a nonstop broadcast schedule, it's obvious that the gig is less about the grueling demands of the seemingly eternal job and more about the strangeness of the employees themselves. Of course, that isn't going to stop the goofy and wildly inept camera-head Momo from shining!

Scope

We are casting for the main roles in an upcoming 3D animated series titled “Public Access Purgatory” also known as “PAP”. The show is a surreal, comedy driven series with a sitcom-like structure, focusing on dark humor, odd characters and chaotic workplace dynamics. The project includes several episodes and additional promotional content.

Audition requirements


● Submit files as MP3 or WAV
● Record a few takes for each line in AABBCC format
● Prior voice acting experience is preferred but not required
● Please do minimal editing to your audio (or none at all). Noise reduction and normalization are acceptable
● You may audition for as many characters as you’d like or feel comfortable with. We’d love to hear your range and keep you in mind for other roles
● Must be 18 years or older to audition

Even if specific audition lines are provided, any additional vocalizations (such as thinking sounds, screams, giggling, laughter, grunts, crying, or other emotional expressions) are highly appreciated. You are also welcome to freely improvise additional phrases, as this helps us better understand your emotional range and vocal versatility.

We will be reaching out only to applicants who will be moving forward with us. We truly appreciate everyone who takes an interest in being part of our cast.

Payment

This is currently a volunteer casting call. Chosen actors will voice characters for promotional videos and early animations during pre production. Once the Kickstarter launches, and if funding goals are met, all actors will be paid for the future work on episodes. This is an indie project with a limited budget, so final rates will depend on the funds raised. Payment details will be discussed once the project is funded.

Agreements

All selected voice actors will be required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) prior to receiving any scripts or project materials. The NDA ensures that all story elements, artwork, and internal communications remain confidential.

We kindly ask that you check the website for additional information: https://freakfriends.carrd.co

Sir Coont [F]
open
Unpaid

Sir Coont is the beloved cafeteria diva of the PAP station, whose overwhelming popularity has made her the single most admired personality on PAPLY. Confident, glamorous, and fully aware of her own status, she carries herself with the poise of someone who expects admiration and has no patience for those who fail to meet her standards. While others idolize her, blush around her, or hang on her every word, Sir Coont remains firmly in control of every interaction, setting clear boundaries and refusing to tolerate disrespect or foolishness.

Despite her larger-than-life presence and seemingly flawless image, she is unapologetically blunt, delivering ruthless insults and impossible confidence with the same effortless elegance.

Voice: A confident, glamorous diva with effortless charisma. Sassy without trying, theatrical without being over-the-top, and always in complete control of the room. She delivers even the harshest insults with elegance and absolute confidence.

Casting Preference: We welcome auditions from everyone. However, we'd particularly encourage actors of color to audition for Sir Coont.

Additional lines:

[Genuine Excitement]: "Oh! You actually listened! That's adorable. Growth is possible after all."

[Admiring Self]: "I believe every workplace needs someone to look up to. You're welcome."

Voice description:
  • female adult

  • [Flirting With the Camera]:"Make sure you're filming my good side. ...Don't worry, they're both my good side."

  • [Dramatic Monologue]:"Being admired isn't easy. People think beauty is a gift, but they never consider the burden of constantly exceeding expectations. Every morning I wake up and ask myself... 'Sir Coont, how will you inspire the less fortunate today?' Somehow... I always find a way."

  • [Soft, Almost Sincere] "You know... I do hope you all enjoy the potluck. Someone around here has to make this station feel like home." (A beat.)"Just don't stand too close to me while you're eating."

Voice Actor Voice Actor
Sad Bean [M]
open
Unpaid

The Sad Bean is one of PAP’s many forgotten employees, a tiny worker who has somehow become the embodiment of workplace misery.

Unlike most Beans, he is painfully aware of how insignificant the company seems to view him. Overlooked, underappreciated, and constantly treated like an object, he has convinced himself that his life has no meaning.

Despite his dramatic hopelessness, he is surprisingly sincere. Beneath everything, he is just someone who wants to be noticed, cared about, and find a genuine connection. He may be pathetic and constantly on the verge of giving up, but somehow he always finds another ridiculous reason to keep going.

Voice: For his voice, we want you to experiment and see what fits the character best. We are open to a lot of different interpretations. He could have a small, high-pitched, exhausted voice that matches his tiny appearance, or he could have a surprisingly deep and dramatic voice that contrasts with how small he is.

additional voice lines:

[Completely defeated]: "Yesterday someone used me as a stress ball. They didn't even apologize. They just said I was 'surprisingly bouncy.'"

[Trying to be hopeful]: "Maybe tomorrow will be different. Statistically speaking... it probably won't be. But maybe."

Voice description:
  • male adult

  • [Overly dramatic but also exhausted]: "I was born with a heart full of dreams and a body shaped like a bean."

  • [Totally serious]:"I am proof that even the smallest person can have the biggest problems."

  • [Trying to stay positive]: "I may fall down a lot... mostly because people keep stepping on me, but I always get back up."
