Casting Call for Bongo SpongeBob Comics Dub + Various SpongeBob Projects
RohxVA for Sheldon J. Plankton
Sheldon J. Plankton is one of many main characters of the SpongeBob SquarePants series. He is a planktonic copepod who runs the unpopular and unsuccessful Chum Bucket restaurant alongside Karen, a waterproof computer who is his sidekick and wife. He is the main antagonist of the franchise in many episodes; sometimes, he is a sympathetic anti-hero. He harbors a fierce rivalry with Mr. Krabs, jealous of his success while the Chum Bucket rarely sees a single customer actually enjoy Plankton's food. Plankton's main goal is to steal Krabs's secret Krabby patty formula and run him out of business. His efforts always end up failing in the process.
For this role, please provide as accurate of an interpretation of Doug Lawrence's Plankton as possible.

[One of Plankton's signature quotes. Spoken loudly and with frustration] "I went to college!" ||| [From the first SpongeBob movie. He says this line to SpongeBob tauntingly and arrogantly] "I'm an evil genius! And you're just a kid! A stupid kid!"
[Also from the first SpongeBob movie, when he first discovers Plan Z and practically orgasms over it] "It's evil! It's diabolical. It's lemon-scented!" ||| [From "Band Geeks". When Squidward asks everyone if they've ever played an instrument before, Plankton asks this question innocently.] "Do instruments of torture count?"
[From "Welcome to the Chum Bucket", where SpongeBob is forced to work for Plankton, under the threat of losing his brain. However, once he gets to Plankton to do whatever he wants for him, SpongeBob becomes a spoiled brat. To a point where Plankton is fed up and yells out this iconic line.] "That's it, mister! You just lost your brain privileges!"
There are points where you slip on and off with the voice, but otherwise, this is a good audition. When the voice is there, it's well-maintained and has the kind of energy and delivery I would expect out of Plankton. The timing is good, the audio quality is on point and there's a good sense of when to be soft and when to be loud. That being said, when the voice trails off, it's very noticeable to hear a voice that doesn't sound like Plankton, and I think working on that can greatly improve the voice. Still, though, good audition.
