Sergeant Ramos has a mostly neutral accent with a hint of Californian and a slighly gruff voice.

Sergeant Ramos is Filipino-American and I would prefer he be played by a Filipino-American.  In later episodes he will speak some basic Tagalog (e.g. "Hello" "How are you?"), so voice talent needs to be able to do so.  While the podcast has its over-the-top moments, I want the dialogue to be more grounded.  Think a Joss Whedon movie or TV show.

Sergeant Ramos has been in the army for 15 years but is friendly and can be a jokester.
