The Night Shift [FNaF/VHS]
Project Overview
Hey everyone! Welcome to the casting call for "The Night Shift [FNaF/VHS]," an lore-accurate FNaF analog horror / VHS style project set on May 5th, 1993, in New Jersey.
What is it?
This isn't your standard, predictable FNaF fan script. This is a dark, gritty character-driven psychological horror short film. The story follows Oliver Johnson, a completely broke, cynical 20-something guy who just got fired. With his landlord actively threatening to throw his shit out on the sidewalk, he takes a sketchy night shift job at a total dump of a Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza just to survive. But the second he steps through the front door, the nostalgic corporate facade completely breaks down into a mechanical nightmare.
For the Humans: You get to play with natural conversational rhythms, stutters, realistic panic, and throat-ripping, raw survival screams.
For the Animatronics: The text is formatted like sheet music with built-in glitches, scratched-CD repetition, and a deeply unsettling Southern twang for Chica to help you manipulate your voice box tracks.

Oliver is a totally broke, stressed-out, and cynical 20-something guy. He just got fired from his last office gig, his rent is due, and he's completely desperate. He takes this sketchy night shift job at a total dump of a Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza literally just to keep his landlord from throwing his shit out on the street.
He starts out super sarcastic and exhausted, muttering to himself and just trying to survive the night for a cheap paycheck. But once things go wrong, his denial breaks and his survival instinct completely takes over.
What I need from you: Real emotional weight. I'm looking for a natural, gritty, conversational delivery that doesn't sound like a cartoon. You need to be able to handle intense, heavy hyperventilating, and absolute throat-ripping, raw panic screams for a massive hallway chase sequence. If you love gritty 90s psychological horror, I'd love to hear your take on him!

(Mumbling, sounding completely miserable) "More bills. Awesome. Just... exactly what I fucking need today...
(Voice drops, cracking slightly with pure stress) "God... but rent. Rent's due... I don't... I don't have anything else. [Heavy, dragging sigh] Fuck it. Whatever. I guess I'm making a phone call."
(Awkwardly leaving a voicemail, sounding stressed and eager) "Uh... yeah. Hi. Um, my name is Oliver...Oliver Johnson. I'm just... I'm calling about the night guard job. I actually just saw the flyer in my mailbox like, ten minutes ago. Um... previous work... I just finished up doing inventory and overnight stock at the warehouse down on 5th street, so... yeah, I'm completely fine with the hours and working alone. I can start immediately. Like... honestly, literally tonight if you guys need me to. Just... call me back on this line whenever you get this. Alright. Thanks."
This guy isn't a villain, and he's not an overly dramatic corporate suit—he is just a tired, annoyed manager who is totally over his job. It’s May 1993, his night guard just pulled a no-show and vanished, and he is stuck dealing with a massive scheduling headache. He doesn’t give a shit about Oliver’s rent problems, and he doesn’t care that the pizzeria is a run-down dump. He just needs a warm body in that security chair immediately so he can lock the doors and go home.
What I need from you: Do not give me a dramatic cartoon voice or a scary announcer voice. I need pure, authentic conversational realism. Give me that fast-talking, impatient East Coast retail energy. Sound distracted, sound like you're rustling papers, and bring a dry, sarcastic indifference to the lines. Show me how tired this guy is of working for corporate!

(On the other end, sounding incredibly bored and chewing something. The line is full of faint static) "Yeah, looking for Oliver Johnson? Calling from Freddy Fazbear's Pizza about the message you left."
"Right. Well, our night guy basically up and quit this morning, so we need a warm body in the chair immediately. Twelve to six AM, hundred and twenty a week. You said you could start tonight, right?"
"Just be at the front doors around eleven-fifty-seven PM. A manager will let you in, give you the keys, and show you the layout. Just wear like... clean jeans and a plain dark shirt. We'll give you a badge when you get here."
Freddy Fazbear is a Brown Bear animatronic with a Top Hat and The mascot of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza
Freddy should sound like a broken, corrupted 90s cassette tape track. He is blindly executing his "birthday party" programming, treating a trapped, screaming human like a toddler at a birthday party while his mechanical parts are actively crushing them.
What I need from you: This role requires a lot of vocal control. I need you to jump back and forth between a booming, artificially happy mascot voice and an unsettling, deep, low-frequency mechanical drone. You need to be comfortable with artificial stuttering, voice box cracks, and delivering lines like a scratched CD track. If you love classic analog body-horror pacing, show me your best!

(Voice box glitching, jumping between a cheerful showtime voice and heavy metallic static) "Well, hey there buddy! It's t-time for... my-my-my... SONG!"
Bonnie is the classic bunny, also Freddy’s Right Hand Man he is a rotting piece of machinery inside a gross, neglected dump of a pizzeria. His voice box track is severely damaged, meaning he shouldn't sound like a cartoon monster. I need a performance that weaponizes old, corrupt 90s tape technology.
He is blindly running his old birthday party scripts while his mechanical exoskeleton is actively hunting Oliver down. The absolute terror of this character comes from the contrast—he is saying friendly mascot things, but his voicebox is screeching, dropping pitch, and skipping like a damaged cassette tape head.
What I need from you: Real vocal manipulation. You need to be able to execute sudden pitch drops, artificial stutters, and mechanical jumps smoothly. I want a performance that swings violently between an eerie, clean children's entertainer and harsh, blown-out static. Bring your absolute creepiest, glitchiest vocal choices to the table!

(Voice skipping and jumping pitches) "He-He-Hey there... b-buddy!.... We best get you r-ready for sh-sh-showtime..."
Chica is a Chicken who in a abandoned Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza and also The First Animatronic that Oliver see
What I need from you: Do not give me a generic monster growl or a standard "scary witch" voice. I need a performance that weaponizes corrupted 90s audio equipment. Layer your delivery with an uncomfortable, wet, low-frequency guttural hum with a Southern Accent You need to jump back and forth between a cheerful, robotic showtime mascot and a deep corporate system drone. Show me how creepy you can make a broken machine sound before it violently explodes into a full sprint down a hallway.

(Voicebox skipping, pitched up too high, static crackling) "A-Are you ready to... e-eat? Welcome to the... Fa-Fazbear family! Don't forget to... sh-share with... Freddy..."
This isn't a sci-fi robot with a computer filter, and it's not a growling monster—it is a pre-recorded, low-tech automated facility intercom menu from May 1993. Think of those eerie, robotic telephone lines you get when you call a bank after hours, or a factory warning broadcast. The voice is completely flat, polite, and neutral. The absolute horror of this role comes from how calm and clinical the machine stays while Oliver is actively screaming for his life and slamming against locked doors in pitch darkness.
What I need from you: Give me pure, mechanical monotone. Do not put an ounce of human emotion or anger into it. I need a deadpan, professional announcer voice that sounds completely soulless. Pace your words with tiny, unnatural pauses so it feels like a primitive 90s computer putting together separate audio files to form a sentence. If you can deliver bone-chilling corporate, show me what you got!

However, we are actively seeking an individual for our overnight security sector. If you are calling regarding the night shift position, please leave your name, contact info, and previous employment history after the tone. Thank you for choosing Freddy's."
Phone Guy is a 1993 tape he isn't actually calling Oliver live, it's just a pre-recorded corporate training tape sitting on the desk at midnight.
I need someone who can do that classic stuttering, slightly awkward corporate voice. He is trying super hard to sound friendly and act like everything is totally normal, which makes it way creepier because he's basically ignoring how sketchy the job actually is.
What I need: Just sound like a regular guy reading a corporate script in an office back in the 90s. Clear your throat naturally and stutter over your words a bit like the original game. Please don't do a scary monster voice or sound like a movie trailer announcer, just keep it super casual and realistic!
