The Zipper Bunch Band Show (PILOT)
DHowiedoit for Ray the Panda
AGE: 22 (male)
BORN: Springfield, New Jersey
An audience favourite under the big top; a star of his own performance, he found himself a new act in tagging along with Zippo and his crew as a crazy cool drummer, ready to rock your world. When the laughs need a little boost and the good times need a little crank, he’s your jack-of-all-trades panda; bringing sad scenes into sunny skies.
But don’t be fooled by his easygoing demeanour — this fuzzy dynamo dude’s got serious brainpower for just a simple everyday comedian. Whenever Zippo starts acting up and sparks fly profusely, Ray has the street smarts and the 411 to keep him in check so that he doesn't spiral too out of control; and vice versa with the rest of the band members, although rarely.
Must be able to put on an exaggerated expressive yet self-controlled cartoony voice, while maintaining the idea of the voice examples down below, and also to be able to sing as well in said voice.

What’re you lookin’ at me for? I’m not the criminal here, Isaac Newton!
That's true! Even my clown acts have nothing on him when it comes to good ol’ fashioned humor. I mean, isn't clowning around supposed to be funny these days? I mean, all people do nowadays is get the heebie-jeebies whenever they see one around. It drives me crazy that all my time and effort went into nothing more than a perilous panic among the masses.
If you're feeling that down, let's go outside and take a look around. There’s no doubt he's out there somewhere. He wouldn’t just abandon friends like us, right?
