Gorham and the Maniacs: Shorts + Teaser
Melon Gab for Hilary Gorham
Sergeant Hilary Gorham (pronounced "Gor-um", not "Gor-ham" or "Gorman"), or as I sometimes call her, Arizona Sunshine, as mentioned before, is a good-natured and cheerful soldier in the U.S. Army, with a complete inability to take most situations seriously. She’s aways got a song in her heart or a joke on her mind to share during the hard, post-apocalyptic times of the mid-2000s, though both are often to her detriment.
For a voice, I’m thinking of something sort of youthful, eager, and with a bit of energy to it. Not quite childish, but seeing as Gorham is only 22, she definitely hasn’t aged much vocally. A good example of the voice I’m imagining for her would be, fittingly, someone like Hilary Duff (who Gorham takes her first name from, but that’s about it re: similarities), or perhaps Erika Henningsen (aka Charlie Morningstar in Hazbin Hotel).
As the main character of the series, I also want to clarify that for this *particular* listing, it’s a lower paying role because there aren’t any singing bits, and also because the overall content of the teaser + Shorts is very brief in total length and involvement (but rest assured, as the two stars of El Cheapo would vouch for me on, I pay well and fairly for bigger, more substantial listings).

(For a singing demo, pick your favorite roughly ten to twenty-ish [or more, if you want, but it’s not required] seconds of the song “Loser Baby” from Hazbin Hotel, because it’s the same genre as the very first song I have in mind for the main series)
(bombastic and jovial, impersonating the mannerisms of Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear while still sounding Hilary Duff-ish like she usually does) I am Hilary Gorham of the United States Army – I come in peace, and bring offerings of vodka (note: she pronounces it with a “w” instead of a “v”)!
If a child refuses to sleep during nap time, are they guilty of “resisting a rest”? (Gorham’s tone in this, like her other jokes, puts a lot of emphasis on the punchline, just for reference)
