LAWDOGS: LOOKING FOR OUR MAIN CHARACTER
Richard Gibson for D. McGann
Mr. McGann, (26), speaks with a naturally raspy, strained Standard American accent touched by only faint midwestern accents. His voice should be more (not overly) higher pitched so he doesn’t sound older than he is. He’s often underestimated because he’s a Jack Russel / Corgi mix so that brings out this nervous energy. Compensating by shifting to an underdog sleaze!
So what I’m really looking for is someone who can capture both his fake confidence side and cutting corners nervous dog side. Highs and lows. Here's another piece of advice for your audition in case you need it: We really wanna capture that natural vibe nothing overly cartoony or samey in delivery.
If you don't understand what I mean you can always ask me in DMS or the comments of this post.
(References: The not so deep scratchy rasp of young Matthew Lillard’s voice. Pawbert Lynxley from Zootopia 2 way of speaking. Not the voice itself.)

[Hurt, Not dramatic] "We're supposed to be business partners. Why were you working against me!?!"
[Business, sleazy] "Sure, wishful thinking, but I can’t make that happen for you. Nobody here can. Totally impossible… unless, of course, someone were to, say, (whisper) not call this number and not go to this address and absolutely not illegally double back to get that claim processed. (Normal) Which, obviously, I am not suggesting."
[Defeated, not overly nervy] "I’m sorry that I messed up… I thought I had it.. but- guess it didn’t work out."
