Buck's Buffoons! (Cartoon Pilot)
Tabetha McNeal VA for Delilah Sweets
Role Type: Lead
Voice: Young Adult Female (19)
Delilah is one of the Big Bucks (a super elite group of toon actors!) and an actress at Buck’s Buffoons! Though her show ended years ago, she now produces, does specials, and works with other toons.
She’s a wisecracking, flippant, lackadaisical young woman, who’s hellbent on staying in the centre of attention. Superficial and carefree, the main focus of her mind is staying pretty, rich, and famous. She’s mischievous and playful, often not taking most situations seriously. If the situation has any avenue to be taken up for laughs, Delilah will find it! She loves chasing ideas and changes her mind really quickly, having little focus whatsoever. She loves to find little ironies, or vague contradictions... anything to get under your skin! She’s talkative and a quick-thinker, often starting (and dominating) conversations.
She should be something of a smartass. Bright, youthful, and enchanting. Below are some clips for inspiration.

"This is a DISASTER! A catastrophe! A—!" (pause, regains composure) "—mild inconvenience, but still! My hair is FLAT, my dress is wrinkled, and worst of all—he thinks he has the upper hand!"
"Alright, here’s the plan: You distract the fella with the hat, I charm the one with the cigar, and—oh, what’s that? You don’t do distractions? Well, lucky for you, I do everything else. Now shush and look innocent!"
(Sincere, warm) "Listen, kid—life’s a funny thing. Sometimes you’re on top of the world, sometimes you trip on your own shoelaces and land in a puddle. And that's it. But you? You’ve got moxie. And that’s worth more than all the glitz and glamour combined. Now, chin up. We’ve got a show to steal!"
