REPOSTING Wordgirl: Rewired
Project Overview
“Wordgirl: Rewired“ is a spinoff of the cartoon “Wordgirl!” aimed at a slightly older audience (while still staying true to the original material :) i.e. still cheesily defining words). It will be done in a storyboard / animatic style by me, and is intended to be a longer-running project with multiple episodes.
If all goes well, this project will be more than just a one-off- *but* if something comes up or you want to move on from the project during its duration, that’s a-okay!
You will be credited for your voice talents both in the video itself and the video’s description!
I hope to release an episode monthly, but this is subject to change.
INFO
-you don’t have to have professional setup! I record stuff from under a blanket, as long as there’s no background noise and you’re able to be heard clearly, I don’t care what you’re using!
-please send your audio IN ORDER- it can be in one recording or multiple, but it’s extremely helpful if your lines are in the same order as on the script! Multiple takes are nice, but not necessary!
-I’m very lenient, and if you need to leave the project for any reason that’s okay! As well as this, there’s a very low chance I’ll need you to redo any lines, especially if there are 2-3 takes given!
When you are logged in, you can comment, add submissions, create projects, upvote, search open roles, and way more. Login here.
I’ve needed help with the art for this project, so if you’re interested let me know!
For your submission it would be great if you could just send or link me an animatic you’ve done / art you’ve done that would match the style / quality you’d exhibit in this project!
This series will be done in an uncolored animatic style, which means that while there’d be more work to do it would be less detailed.
There would be basic designs to follow for altered character designs, but you’d be encouraged to use your own style!

*Say something you think would fit*
If you get the role, you won’t be assigned to it on this page- I’ll DM you!
Please send me a script for a short scene involving Wordgirl characters! Please refrain from shipping and keep some of the feel of the show!
Writers would not help come up with episode plots / story beats as much as help bring those beats onto a script. (I would edit scripts to make sure they’re consistent with story things / capture what we’re going for!)
It would be okay if your grammar / punctuation and stuff is off, especially since I’d go through and edit things- I’d be more focused on comedy, pacing, etc.!
Also, you’d have to deal with the fact that we do some shipping in our show :P)

-Writers help bring the story to life and flesh it out, but do not decide on / help with the story itself.
I, SNICKERDOODLEZ:
-want *help* acknowledge that especially for art, I might be doing the majority. Ima be in there doing work too, as much as I can!
-This project is *organized*, but I want it to be chill! I want everyone to have fun working on this, instead of feeling like it’s a job or something!

This is an episode that I think captures a good wide range of Tobey’s emotions, if you need a refresher of his voice / mannerisms!
A boy genius with a very obvious crush on Wordgirl and an obsession with robots. He’s a very major character, with his role switching between antagonist and protagonist! Whoever voices him needs to be able to have a high range of emotion, and can hopefully perform both an American and British accent- either can be fake, as long as it’s vaguely convincing :) And yes, I’m a Tobecky shipper
Also please pronounce “robot” as “robut”
Wordgirl :D I mean- Wordgirl >:(
*scoff*- Why is this my fault?! This was YOUR idea!
Robots, ATTACK!
As our titular character, the actor for Wordgirl must be able to play a large range of emotions, and be okay with a lil bit of Tobecky shipping 👀
You’ll also be in every episode, but as said in the project description, you’re able to drop the role if you need to or want to.
I’m more focused on mannerisms than matching the show’s voice- she is older, after all.
Word up!
Stop right there, Two-Brains!
Oh, for the love of Lexicon, why does this keep happening?!
I would recommend looking into how the narrator delivers his lines for the intro and outro, but this clip is a good general example! The narrator, while being in every episode, usually only has a few lines. He usually introduces and closes the episode, but aside from that he often only announces transitions and banters a bit with the characters!
It’s a beautiful day in Fair City…for now.
Meanwhile, in the evil lair of Doctor Two-Brains….
Stay tuned for another exciting episode ooooof: WORDGIRL!
A major secondary character, Dr. Two Brains is in charge of Tobey while Mrs. McCallister is out working. Due to his voice being much more unique I’ll be EXTRA lenient for his role- although I still, ofc, want it to sound somewhat like Dr. Two-Brains! His actor as well will need to have good range, as…come on, we all love ourselves some Doctor Two-Brains angst. Or fluff.
Alright, I’m leaving you in the car next time.
Well, well, well, WORDGIRL.
*give me a good maniacal laugh :3*
Unfortunately the best thing I could find, Scoops is Violet’s boyfriend and kind of just a chill dude. A cinnamon roll and comedic relief.
A lil stupid but we love him for it <3 I’ll be pretty lenient with him
Hey Becky!
Ace reporter Scoops, on the case!
Calm down, you two! It isn’t that big of a deal!
all my homies HATE Violet
Becky’s (current) “best friend”, with Violet I’m definitely most focused on her mannerisms! Her weird way of speaking is iconic
Warning, in this show Violet is not painted in…the best light. I’d argue the show already doesn’t (I have so many issues with Violet as a friend) but she’s kind of a toxic friend in this, so you’re forewarned!
Hi Becky!
When you’re here, you’re Becky, okay? Not Wordgirl.
Good job!
I couldn’t find a good example for her aside from this!
She’s grumpy, sarcastic, and very bitter copy shop worker. In this show she gets a little more of a spotlight, because my sister and I decided to run with the idea of Her, Dave, and the Royal Dandy being an extremely dysfunctional found family.
Stupid DAVE. Why do people find him so PLEASANT? So NICE. So…NOT IRRITATING.
I’m NOT your MOM!
You can’t stop me, Wordgirl!
Hey, Beatrix! :D
See you when you get out of jail, Beatrix! :D
Aww, don’t be such a downer! It’ll be fine! :D
https://youtu.be/HwsBCvd75os An annoying little fellow that should hopefully be made a little more likable in this show…don’t worry, he’s still an annoying little twerp, though. He’s a more secondary character!
Lowkey he kind of sounds like Stewie Griffin.
Come on, mum!
But she’s my best mate, mum!
(Nothing here :) )
I honestly don’t know how much Beau Handsome will be used but HE IS GOING TO BE USED AT LEAST ONCE IN THE FIRST EPISODE, I just need ya to mimic how he sounds and be able to sound annoyed :)
“Alright, Bill, I don’t know if this is going to work out.”
“Show him what he’s won!”
I’m Beau Handsome and this is….
Alright, Bill, I don’t know if this is going to work out.
Show him what he’s won!
Invisi-Bill
He’s in the first part of this episode :)
the ADHD incarnate, half of what you’ll ever have to say is just
INVISI-BILL THATS ME HAHA
He’s Beau Handsome’s new assistant and while being a more minor character (currently, anyways), I love him very dearly
INVISI-BILL!
HAHA!
THAT’S ME!
Underrated??? I love her, this is the best YouTube clip I could find of her though! https://youtu.be/YDDl_y-tCPc Mr Big’s w I f e and the new head of Big Enterprises. She has no range of verbal emotions, and that’s really important to keep!
Even if the line is very emotional, the voice should be devoid of emotion.
I don’t think that’s a good idea, sir.
You’ll never stop me.
This is my lunch break. Can we pick this back up later?
Lowkey kind of the worst in this clip, but it’s a good example of his voice! https://youtu.be/YDDl_y-tCPc
Basically a funky business man trying to brainwash everybody. Also, in this continuation, he’s suffering from some sort of strange illness (which is why Leslie has been in the forefront of his plans more often), so please be able to fake a coughing fit or somethin’ :P
“Oh, isn’t it wonderful?”
“It’s a brilliant plan, if I do say so myself!”
“Leslie!”
Leslie!
It’s a brilliant plan!
Oh, isn’t it wonderful? What am I saying, of course it is! I made it!
Eileen / The Birthday Girl
I’m absolutely hoping for some differences and creative spins on her voice, seeing as Eileen is decently older now! She’s kind of the semi-adopted child of Leslie and Mr Big and is more of a minor character! I couldn’t find many good clips of her but seeing as I especially want creativity with this one it’s not as big of a deal https://youtu.be/Ur2d1l0omVk
It’s my birthday! Mine!
Pleeeeeease?
But my daddy says EVERY DAY is my birthday!
https://youtu.be/9fNecwhjYLY This episode is really the only time where we see Mrs. McCallister show more emotion than anger, and one of the few to view her in a positive light. As Tobey’s mother and a very no-nonsense woman, Mrs. McCallister is a character who will appear somewhat frequently in Tobey episodes but with usually small roles. In this spinoff, seeing as I find Mrs. McCallister somewhat inconsistent in the show, she’s a retired villain who is secretly trying to improve Tobey’s skills- her anger less directed at the chaos her son causes and more at his motives, lack of planning, and general rashness….as well as the fact that he could easily blow her cover.
TOBEY!
You’re supposed to CAUSE trouble, not get into it!
