We Are Young: Supporting Characters
Project Overview
On the surface, you wouldn't think the nerd Lauren Pierce, the jock Connor Miller, the stoner Kai Grayson and the delinquent Ruby Harrison would be friends. And at Letterman High School, it may not come across that way because they don't really hang out during the day. But when the night falls, school is out, and the moon is shining in the sky, that's when their friendship shows just how powerful it really is. The trouble these four get into you would not even believe! But they do it because of one reason and one reason alone: They're young and they've only got one life to live so they're gonna live it on the edge as much as they can!
I got inspired listening to the song We Are Young by fun. and I won't lie the idea for a teen drama about a bunch of highschoolers tearing shit up during the night just seemed like such a fun and cool idea! Now this casting call will be for the supporting cast of the series while we're working on casting the main characters! Efficiency at its finest, ladies and gentlemen!
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We're looking for fun, kind, and easy-to-work-with voice actors who have clear-sounding mics that capture their voice with minimal background noise. We're also looking for people who love the 2010s! I know it hasn't been that long since they ended but I mean, at this point, 6 years practically feels like an eternity ago. Maximum of 3 takes per line. Improv is encouraged so don't be afraid to go off-script and have fun with it. Open ethnicity, POC actors highly encouraged to audition. Also rates are negotiable, 50$ just felt like the perfect base rate.

Wendy is the head cheerleader of the Letterman Kittens cheer team and on first glance, you would honestly think the only thing she ever eats is pure sugar. This girl has more hyper energy than you know. So naturally, that makes her incredibly agile and perky. She's a very bubbly, happy-go-lucky girl and the kittens are lucky to have her leading them. But not as lucky as Connor is to be her boyfriend.

[Aghast at a cheer suggestion] "U-G-L-Y, you ain't got no alibi?" NO! No no no! That is horrible! That is mean and-and cruel and not what the kittens stand for! Just because we have claws does not mean we scratch...unless someone's trying to hurt us, which in that case, it's just self defense and the claws kind of become necessary-GET BACK ON TRACK, BRAIN! The point is, this is a bad cheer! Booo! We're not doing it! We are all about the Paw-sitivity! (Giggles) Paws.
[Cheering, Excited] KITTENS GO MEOW, LEOPARDS GO ROAR, GET OUT THERE AND SCORE, SCORE, SCORE! WOOOOO!!! GO LEOPARDS!!
[To Connor, Defensive] Aw c'monnnn babe! I can be tough! I can be wild! I can be (Deep Batman voice) Harrrdcorrre. (Normal Voice) Besides, I'm getting a lot better at staying focused so I am nowhere NEAR as easily-distracted as I used to- Oh hey look, a puppy! (Gasps) Oh my god it's a goldie! Babe if we ever get married, can we adopt a goldie? They're sooo- (Pause) ...Oh. (Giggles nervously) Umm okay this didn't count.
Percy has quite the rep at Letterman... oh, not as like a threat or for being popular or anything like that. Nah he has a rep for being the biggest goofball in the school. He literally has business cards where he lists his profession as "Class Clown". He's that committed to the bit! He's a lovable bozo though, very off-the walls zany and chaotic. Oh yeah, he also has a cat named Noodles. Idk why I typed that but he said if I did he'd give me a Snickers.

[To Kai, Comically Upset] Ahtatatatah, I don't wanna hear it, Marvin Jane. I am not one for the criminal life. I am the goodest of boys and the classiest of clowns, I will NOT be swayed to the dark side of your shadowy shecannery! I WILL- Wait, did you say you were stopping by Seven Eleven? (Dogpiles into the van) JUST CALL ME PIRACY HAWKINS! SLUSHIES HOOOOOOOOOO!!!
[Failing at Lying] I uh well you see...the-the thing is....I'm not real1ly Percy! Yeah no, I am Perry Hawkins, his twin his um.... his evil twin! Yes! Those are...those are TOTALLY still a thing! I-I want to get into business college and-and-and wear....neutral color suits and...other boring stuff. And I say things like......Protractors. See? I bet my brother doesn't even know what a protractor is, such a silly boy. (Laughs) Those are people that are good at driving tractors, right?
[Giddy] (Giggles chaotically) I have never felt so ALIVE! Anyone else tasting colors? HA! Take that, Skittles! I don't NEED your product to taste the rainbow anymore! I HAVE WHATEVER KAI PUT IN THESE BROWNIES...My guess is some very special sugar!
Selina is a firefly. Well not literally but she has an unhealthy obsession with fire. The amount of times she has threatened to set Letterman ablaze are at an alarming amount. The scariest thing is her dad's an ex convict so nobody has any clue if she's being serious or not. She's also, to the surprise of absolutely nobody, good friends with Ruby. Between one having a history of theft and the other constantly making threats of arson, all they need is a third girl who's a murderer and this twisted trifecta will be complete.

[Eager] You know what? Fuck it, I'm in! I could use a distraction that doesn't involve me playing with my lighter. (Lights up a flame and giggles) Pretty flame. I wonder how colorful you'd make the cafeteria. (Laughs)
[Getting Arrested, Flirty] Oh, why officers, How did you know I like it rough? Hope you got the stamina though, cus I can go allll night! (Laughs maniacally)
[Annoyed] (Scoffs) Amateurs. Ya can't just start a fire by hittin' any ol rocks together! Ya might as well pray Zeus'll hurl his lightnin' bolt to light the sucker. Ya wanna do this right, you're gonna need flint. Or quartz I guess but if we're goin' primeval here, My go-to's flint. Then ya get a stone rich in iron aaaaand (Lights up a fire) VOILA! (Sighs) Isn't she beautiful? (Pause) NOW LET'S BURN DOWN AN ORPHANAGE- I-I mean...Get that bonfire lit. (Under her breath) Burning the orphanage can come later.
Okay so you know how Lauren is like a nerd but also has more to her that people don't really see when she's at school? Yeah, Matthew isn't that. He is as textbook nerd as you can get. Pocket protector, tape on glasses, bow tie, all of it. He thinks he's friends with Lauren when in reality, they're only lab partners, nothing more. So why does Lauren tolerate him so? Because honestly, she pities him. Not everyone's as lucky as she is to have good friends.

[To Lauren] Frankly Lauren, I don't understand why you associate yourself with beings of lesser intellect such as Connor Miller and Ruby Harrison. Why dumb yourself down to their neanderthalic level when you can accustom yourself to an extracurricular like say...math club? Multiplication Station just needs one more member after Rodney Willingham's departure. You could take his spot, just saying.
[Annoyed] (Groans) Really guys? Throwing the nerd in the dumpster? Yeah, the 1990s called, they want their high school cliche back! Jeez, this is going to take ages to wash out. What even is this, jello? (Tastes it then spits it out) Agh! Nope! Definitely not Jello! YECH!
[Trying to be cool, then immediately dropping it] What is up, my coolio dudes- Nope, I already feel stupid doing this. This isn't worth the five bucks, I'm out.
Penny, to put it simply, is a god. damn. chatterbox. She honest to god has a motormouth like nobody's business. She could literally talk your ear off if she wanted to. Well okay, maybe not literally but you know what I mean. That being said though, she is a nice gal, sweet, perky, she'd probably make an amazing addition to the kittens if she actually was into gymnastics. But nah, she's more into musical theatre and drama club than cartwheels and pom poms. She is kind of a weirdo though. Sometimes she'll just do things because...I don't know, because she wants to, I guess.

[Excited] HA! I knew it! Iknewitiknewitiknewit I knew you guys were criminals! Well okay maybe not criminals in the traditional sense like Ted Bundy or Bonnie and Clyde or whatever BUUUT I had a feeling Lauren was involved in the break-in at the mall last Tuesday 'cus I mean who else has the brainpower to hack into the security cameras and shut them off? Matthew's too straight-laced to ever pull a stunt like that and nobody else fits the bill so by process of elimination that just leaves Lauren. Then we got the foodcourt losing half its weiner supply for chili dogs so I had a hunch Connor was in on it cus we all know how he is with his chili dogs. Then when I saw a cop pick up a joint off the mall floor I was like "That's a Kai joint if ever I saw one" and as for RUBY, well that's just a no brainer for anyone who knows her track record. Oh and for the record you don't gotta worry about me ratting you out or anything because you guys are living the dream doing whatever you want during the night and somehow getting away with it and so to sum it all up, I WANT IN!
[Freaking Out] (Covers Connor's mouth) Are you out of your mind?! You don't say good luck on opening night! You might as well say "Hey is it cool if I let go of this rope? I'm sure the piano will be fine!" You say Break a leg, Connor! Morbid thing to say I know but we don't question the theatre superstitions! They've never led me astray and I'd rather not rock the boat!
[Hanging in a tree] HI! You're probably wondering why I'm in a tree. Well, I've been reading Squirrel Girl for the past week and my brain was like "Wow, she's really cool. I wonder what it would be like to be a squirrel." So I climbed up this tree to see how well I do. I even brought peanuts as a way to make friends with the squirrels. They ended up attacking my face and stealing the bag so I might need to go to the hospital later but yeah. So what's new with you?
Nathaniel is the richest of rich boys but surprisingly, he's not what most people would expect from a rich trust fund baby. He's not stuckup or arrogant or a party animal or anything like that. He's actually really neurotic. Like, he will blow a gasket if he thinks someone touched his locker, he's that highly strung. And if something bad actually DOES happen? Welp, you'd better have some paper bags on standby because Nate will definitely need them. Whether it's to vomit in them or to breathe in them depends on the day. All in all...yeah it's not easy being a Merriweather, not for this guy anyway.

[Trying to control his nerves] NO! *Ahem* No, I do not need any help, I am perfectly capable of doing the rope pull all on my own. Mother didn't raise no bitch- I mean- (Squeaks) WHY DID I SAY THAT?!
[Panicking BIG TIME] No no no no no WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! This was my father's car- MY FATHER'S CAR! DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S GOING TO DO TO ME IF HE SEES THIS?! He's going to- well first he's going to ground me! Then he's going to cut me off finanically which will inevitably lead to me in my forties living in a VAN down by the river! I DON'T WANNA END UP BEING THE PUNCHLINE OF AN SNL SKETCH!!!
[In a feetle position, trying to calm down] You're okay Nathaniel, you're okay. Everything's A-okay. You're rich, you can just use money to solve your problems right? That's what the rich kids in television always say. And since when does TV lie?
