The Typical Meetups
Project Overview
Six coworkers from different parts of the office meet at the same bar after work to catch their breath. At the office, they fake their smiles and keep it together. But at The Getaway, they can finally be themselves, talking about work drama, life problems, or whatever the hell they want. It’s their escape from the daily grind...

Jenny is the senior sales associate. She's tough, sharp, and impossible to ignore. She’s got a raspy voice, a killer red dress, and a mouth that could cut glass.
*Introduce yourself and why you love voice acting*
(Playful) Careful, handsome. You keep looking at me like that and I might start thinking you’re dumb enough to fall for me.
(Sarcastic) Oh, don’t worry, sweetheart. I love working overtime for a company that thinks my name is ‘Hey, you’ or 'You! The one with the ugly hair'. (angry sigh) I need another drink.
Fifi works in public relations and lives in a bubble of romance and cartoon logic. With her bouncy voice and vintage rubber-hose charm, she’s all giggles, gossip, and wildly inappropriate snack experiments. She’s a little spacey and always convinced her latest crush is the one.
*Introduce yourself and why you love voice acting*
(Talking fast, flustered) What if he thinks I’m weird? Oh my gosh, what if he likes that I’m weird? Wait—what if he’s weird too?! Like the type of weirdo that still washes his mouth with a bar of soap whenever he swears?! Should I propose?! I should, huh!? (giggles)
(Bouncy) Helloooooo everyone! I made you all snackssssss! So these are almond-quinoa bites with radioactive fig paste, a hint of coconut ash, just a whisper of dolphin spit and the secret ingredient is... love! Oh, and turmeric. It’s anti-inflammatory. (goofy giggle)
Mozzarella is a calm, elegant executive assistant with a tired voice and eyes. She’s composed on the outside, but emotionally worn thin due to being overworked like crazy. All she wants to do is go to bed and get ready for the next shift.

(Snoring) [She almost falls off her chair] (Suddenly awake) I’m listening! Wait. Can you repeat all of that again? I promise I was listening but I just didn't hear the last part of your story. Honest.
(Tired) They asked if I’d like to be "more involved" at work. I said sure… so they gave me everyone else’s tasks. (sighs) I really have to stop saying Yes to everyone.
Annie works in maintenance and knows more about the building than management ever will. She’s blunt, scrappy, and always looks like she just crawled out of a trash can. She complains... a lot, but to be fair, she has a reason, and when she does, it’s usually the funniest shit you’ll hear all day.
*Introduce yourself and why you love voice acting*
(Tired) I don’t wanna talk about work, ladies. I’d rather drink 'til I forget I exist than spend one more thought on that slave-wage hellhole if I’m bein’ completely honest with y’all.
(Annoyed) Why can’t anyone keep the restrooms clean in this darn building?! Is it really that hard to aim?! Just point at the toilet when you wee! Keep it clean for like… ten minutes!
Vanessa might be an intern, or a consultant, or a ghost—no one’s really sure. She shows up to the bar like she’s always been part of the group, but no one has ever seen her actually working. She speaks softly, disappears often, and somehow knows everything without ever knowing the context. They might need to wrap a bell around her neck.
*Introduce yourself and why you love voice acting*
(Gentle) I have no idea who any of you are… but you know what? I don’t mind hanging out with you. …Wait. We work at the same company? Say what?
I agree, Mozzie or whatever your name is. Let’s drink to that. Malachi! A grape Moscow Mule for Miss Wisconsin over here. The girl's thirsty.
Tootsie works in HR. Nobody likes her. She’s loud, loving to a degree, and always dressed like a holiday exploded. Whether you’re crying or celebrating, she’ll be there with a dollar store gift card, a weird herbal tonic, and a speech that makes no sense and doesn't help at all. God, I hate this character.
*Introduce yourself and why you love voice acting*
Sorry I'm late. I forgot what time it was and my wings aren't as fast as they used to be.
Darling, I don’t care if your wife’s in labor, I need you to stay overtime. No pay, of course. Thanks, sugarplum! I knew you would understand.
Madison is the bartender at The Getaway, known for serving cocktails with a side of dread. eerie and unaware of her surroundings, she speaks like a prophet and pours like a sage.

*Introduce yourself and tell me one aspect you hate about society*
(Dry) We’re nothing but insignificant specks adrift in the vast, indifferent cosmos. Waiting for the cycle of torment to end, only for it to begin again. We pray for the end, then beg for a second death. We exist just to suffer. (Awkward pause) (Embarrassed) Here’s your Shirley Temple.
(Dry) Hi Fifi, honey. We’ve got a cucumber gin fizz special tonight. Tastes like existential dread with a side of mild regret. Or would you prefer your usual turmeric sour? That familiar disappointment, just like how your parents feel about you. (Awkward pause) That was uncalled for. This one is on me.
She is a waiter in The Getaway. She's a nice person but bubbly personality could get real annoying to some people especially when they're in a bad mood. She's friends with Tootsie and usually gossip a lot about men and what their families are up to.
*Say something you think would fit*
You did your best today. Really. Even if nobody at work noticed… I did.
I don’t mind working late. I mean… technically I have all the time in the world.
