Baba Yaga's Mobile Homes (Cartoon Short)
katastrofree for Baba Yaga
Baba Yaga is a dramatic, upbeat, showhorse-style salesperson. She's zany, overconfident, more than a little bit dense, and likes to hear herself talk. Her personality is a mixture between Edna Mode (incredibles) and Jester from critical role. A medium to low voice rather than high pitched. Though I put her down as "ageless" I'm mostly looking for middle aged or senior-- if a younger voice fits enough I will take it. She is Russian but you DO NOT need to do a russian accent.
Now everybody asks me, "Oh Baba Yaga please help me find a home!" And of /course/ I do. I'm Baba Yaga-- EXPECT NO LESS.
*Speaking notes: She is speaking to a client and tooting her own horn. When lines are in quotations it means she is mimicking someone. In this case she is a imitating a "desperate client" almost to the point of sounding sarcastic. Then she gets in the client's face-- "expect no less" she says like a challenge."Eh? EH? Now are you convinced?"
*she's kind of playfully jabbing the client in the ribs, eyebrows wiggling.
"Hey how would you like to-- Ma'am may I interest you in a-- SIR CAN I OFFER YOU A DEAL-- HELLO THERE-- My name is-- BABA YAGA-- and I-- Would like to offer-- AMAZING DEAL-- DREAM HOUSE-- last chance!-- (sigh) maybe a... /different/ approach..."
*A montage of Baba Yaga going up to anyone she sees, trying different sales pitches. Imagine she's standing in various doorways, getting the door slammed in her face over and over again. Each line is a bit different from each other as she tries different methods "polite salesperson" "aggressive sales person" "Billy Mays" "singing sales person" these are a few suggestions. The last line is her feeling defeated-- stress the line "different."
