Microfaun - Pixie and Brutus (Spring 2023 Casting)
DHowiedoit for Brutus
Character: Brutus is a grizzled veteran war dog. Adopted into a small family, he becomes a big brother to a little kitten named Pixie. Brutus often appears tough, cold and stern, and only ever shows affection and tenderness towards Pixie, whom he is very protective over. He does not hesitate to use his brutish image to intimidate anyone who tries to harm Pixie.
Voice: The original author describes Brutus' voice as being like that of Butch from 'The Good Dinosaur.'

While I don't expect anyone to perfectly recreate this voice, (as there's only one Sam Elliot), it is a great example of the type of performance I'm looking for.

(Is introduced to Pixie) You're very small and weak. If anything bigger than a squirrel wanted to hurt you, you wouldn't stand much of a chance. Guess I'll have to protect you.
(His thoughts as Pixies engages him in one of her creative fantasies) If I'm the Flower Captain, why am I in command of the entire Flower Army? Wouldn't that make me a Flower General?
(Being sprayed with water by another dog) H-Hey!! What's your major malfunction?!
