Wild World = Restart (MC Series Animated Short)
MPantazis for Shockery: The Showtime Jester
Shockery (Shock-uh-ree) is the producer and financial handler behind the series, working from the shadows to keep things afloat. He’s dry, blunt, and often the voice of harsh reality when others get carried away, but he speaks with a layer of elegance and edginess that masks his hot-headedness. While he cares about the project’s success, his delivery tends to come across as cold, matter-of-fact, or even dismissive. He struggles with the stress of budgeting and deadlines, often sighing or snapping when under pressure.
Shockery plays a larger role than Gallibarra (Gal-ee-bar-uh), serving as both a foil to Frilleggie’s (Frill-egg-ee) frantic energy and a grounding presence in the chaos. His voice should carry weight and frustration, but still leave room for weary humor. Any recording software is fine, as long as you can send me your lines digitally.
I was kind of thinking Shockery's voice would be somewhat reminiscent of Dante/Virgil from Devil May Cry, but I'm open to interpretation.
Though he has a major presence in this episode, he’s a recurring character who will appear in future episodes, creating long-term opportunities for voice work.

[cocky] Hey Frilleggie... Heard you really bombed today... We gonna talk about that?
[cold] It just baffles me that you run this whole circus, and you can't do this one simple job right...
[agitated] Y-yeah! I get it! I messed up! But what do you want me to do about it?! Huh?!
