Casting Call for Otto & Bradley in Something Fishy: An Animated Short from Third Year Sheridan Students
Vladibear for Otto
Our character Otto the cat is our main role and requires someone that sounds anxious, and kinda scratchy. He gets interrogated by Richard the Police Dog in the first act of the film, so we need to make sure that we can sympathize with our barista cat. In Act two, our characters have a chase scene as they follow behind a food truck while on a skateboard, and skateboarding is the one thing Otto is good at, so while in the chase sequence, he should still sound his character, just much more confident than he previously was. We want our film to feel like a cartoon pilot, so any sort of pitch of voice is accepted - Our references for the look of the film are Wonder over Yonder, Powerpuff Girls, Amazing World of Gumball, Star Vs. The Forces of Evil, etc. and they can also be references for how we expect the energy for voice acting.
"I - I think you have the wrong-" Otto anxiously trying to defend himself while getting interrogated
"Oh gosh, I'm done for! They think it was me... I'm going to jail... what will my mom think?" Very anxious, talking to himself, very exasperated
"They're not getting away!" - Otto is on the skateboard chasing the food truck, skateboarding is the one thing he is good at, so he should feel more confident.
