Smokey Bear is not the real name of the character, only a nickname of them. Smokey is a science experiment, he was made to be used as an evil army to take over the world but he had good in his heart & rebelled against his creators with his friend, Frosty. He should have a slightly deep voice but also able to be light-hearted at times with a commanding voice in battle -- if you recieve the role, you shall expect to return for more films as the character.
