Donkamule (Original Series) [CLOSED] « Thread Started on Jul 23, 2009, 2:24pm »
EDIT 8/23/09: Alright! I think I've got my cast; scroll down to see who got what part. I'll send out the scripts later since I still need a tablet so there's no rush.
EDIT: Added tidbits from the script for more audition lines if you're interested.
Hi, I'm Lon. I'm a Flash Author who's currently seeking voicing talent for my original series that I plan to start up and hopefully make something decent out of. It's called Donkamule. I don't actually need 7 different VAs, but rather have 7 reoccurring characters that need voices; you may audition for more than one character if you like. 5 are male and 2 are female. I also have two other characters that aren't reoccurring, but are in need of voices as well.
For more of my work (preferably Pokémon: Pee Red Version; which features the voice talent of sonicmega who was the kind gentleman that pointed me in the direction of these boards months ago), visit http://loney03dk.newgrounds.com/
I've already got the first script done, so once casting is done I can send it off right away. I lack a tablet at the moment, so keep in mind I won't start in Flash until I get off my ass and get a job to pay for one. The character art you see below was all drawn with the touchpad on my laptop and are obviously a bit below-average because of it (I couldn't seem to get Frizzleshitz's hair frizzy enough and Scorpony's hair turned out a bit odd).
Synopsis:
Donkamule is a comedy series about 6 characters basically living their lives as... whatever you'd like to call them. Animals, mutants, I don't know, they never seem to notice or care. It's all another day in their town Landland for them. There are several diverse characters getting involved in zany antics and bizarre, often fourth-wall-breaking plot lines.
The humor of the series really does come from the love of the characters; not unlike Homestar Runner, something that I would have to consider a bit of inspiration for me.
"Comfort Zones":
The series is very 14A, which means no F-bombs are necessary and the only instances of "shit" are when the characters refer to their friend by his name, "Frizzleshitz". Any other shits are censored which could even be a running gag such as "Holy s***, Frizzleshitz!" with his name being uncensored. They usually refer to him as Frizz. I won't use any religious profanities and the only thing that you wouldn't hear on something like Family Guy would be maybe "dick". Any harsher ones such as "dick" or "fag" could show up, but would be very rare.
Would I ever make you sing? Yeah, I probably would. Granted, you don't have to be the best singer in the world, but if I did a large episode or an internet-movie, I'd love to start it out with a big opening number. If you don't want to sing, it's no big deal and I can simply only have characters that want to sing in the song. That is if I ever do a song; which might not even happen.
Contact Information:
If you wish to audition, please e-mail me at loney03dk@hotmail.com or preferably add me on MSN if you get the role. Speaking of which, I'll leave casting open for exactly one month, and extend it if there are still roles to be filled.
So that means the deadline I'm setting will be August 23rd, 2009.
Pay:
Nothing but my credit. If this series ever amounts to something and I do start making money off of it, then I guess I can cut the VAs in at like 5% or something. But as of right now, no cash pay is available. I'll be sure to credit you, of course. It's also preferred if you have a Newgrounds account so that I can co-author you under Voice. However it's not really necessary.
Character Synopsis:
Donkamule [Vivvav]:
Donkamule is the lead (obviously) and is a pissy guy all around who's sick of dealing with the rest of the idiot cast. The only thing that keeps him from going insane is his love for the lead female character, Scorpony. It doesn't help his pissy attitude that she keeps shutting him down.
Voice Description: I'm looking for a deep voice that seems to always be angry. Don't be confused, though, Donkamule can feel other emotions, too. He loves hanging out with the guys to play video games and drink a few beers. Most of the time, however, he has a short temper. I'm looking for something maybe just a tad less raspy than Cuddles from Apocalypse Lane or Jeff the Goomba from Bowser's Kingdom, if anyone's ever watched those.
Audition Lines: -"What the hell are you people doing in my house?" -"This whole town is so depressing." -"Dammit!" -"God, I need a beer." -[not angry] "Frizz, this had better be important."
Script Tidbits:
Donkamule: [waking up] *yaaawn* ... Huh? Wha- OHMYGOD. The hell are you people doing in my house?!
Camera man: ...Oh, you didn't know? Well we're going to be making a series based off of your life from now on.
Donkamule: [shifty eyes] ...And you started it off with me dreaming?... How cliché. [lays back down and rolls out of bed]
Donkamule: Oh, nothing, I was just uh... just uh... uhhh.
[zooms in on Scorpony's... "ass"]
Scorpony: *gasp* Were you staring at my abdomen?!
Donkamule: [panicking] Wha?! I... No!... I mean... I don't know, I...
Scorpony: Oof, good bye, Donkamule. [walks off]
---
Donkmaule: S-... say, what were you doing just walking outside of Lemon's house at this time of day, anyway?
Quacka: [panicking] Uhh, nothing!... What, a girl can't take a nice walk outside at 3:30 in the afternoon? The fact that he's in the tub right now is a complete coincidence!
Donkamule: I never said anything about him being in the tub... Wait a minute, 3:30 in the afternoon? [looks at camera] You buttholes woke me up early!
Quacka: Who are you talking to?
Donkamule: Err... no one. Anyway, I should probably get going...
---
Hippopotimoose: H-hey! Who are you?
Figure: Oh, just the bloke you have to thank for saving your very lives.
Donkamule: Oh, no, no, no, everytime someone tries to convince the main characters they're good after kidnapping them always turns out evil in the end. Don't listen to him; he's full of it!
Figure: ...Alright, I'm full of it, but this all IS for a good cause, I assure you.
--- ED NOTE: This line makes more sense in the actual script... Actually, on second thought, not by much.
Donkamule: Okay, that sounds pretty foolproof... just one thing: how do you plan to get the males pregnant?
Hippopotimoose: Well, he orders from the baby store like anyone else would.
[everyone looks at him]
Donkamule: [facepalm] Hippopotimoose, for the love of crap...
Frizzleshitz [lucawesome]:
Frizzleshitz is Donkamule's retarded friend. He's obviously the "dumbest of dumb" character; that is to say while the rest of the characters do act stupid, he takes the cake as the dumbest. Most of the time that is. He's usually able to offer surprisingly deep advice to Donkamule despite his disability. He can never seem to keep his hair straight. His "gimmick" is always asking people if they want a clementine, for he has TWO clementines and would like to share them. No one ever says yes and he ends up eating them on his own. Hippopotimoose is his best friend.
Voice Description: A bit of a wacky voice with a slight lisp, since his tongue is always sticking out. I wouldn't compare him to Silvester from Looney Toons, but I really can't think of a better example.
Audition Lines: -"Do you want a clementine?" -"I have TWO clementines." -"Well alright, then. [munches clementine]" -"Hey, Hippopotimoose."
Script Tidbits:
Frizzleshitz: Hey, Donkamule, do you want a clementine?...
Donkamule: No, Frizzleshitz, I don't want a clementine.
Frizzleshitz: Oh, are you sure? Because I have TWO clementines!
Donkamule: No, really, that's fine.
Frizzleshitz: Well, alright. [begins to eat clementine]
---
Donkamule: [whispering] Frizz! Frizz, wake up!... Frizz!
Frizzleshitz: [freaks out] RRRRRAAAOW [continues making cat noises and knocks eveything over in the process, waking everyone else up] Woops. [drops vase he's holding]
Lemon [sonicmega]:
Lemon is... well, gee, a Lemon. He's my inaudible character; but like someone like Kenny from South Park, you can sometimes get the gist of what he's saying. So what would he sound like? Urrr... good question. You send me the best Lemon noise you can make. You can add filters or whatever you want, just as long as the voice is able to be inaudible BUT be able to sometimes understand what he says. He will have lines, and you read them however you want. If you are lost as to what a Lemon might sound like; I was thinking something "sour", like his lips are shriveled up and can only pronounce vowels. And add a higher pitch or something. If you have your own idea, by all means, go ahead. I was going to have him talk in sounds but I couldn't do that without having him end up too similar to Pom-Pom on Homestar Runner.
Script Tidbits:
A lot of Lemons I received were a tad too audible. I think to help you see what I'm looking for further, the way these script tidbits are set up should aid in finding Lemon's "voice". Note that if your voice is too wacky or whatever to make out the lines that are supposed to be audible, the characters often repeat what he said so it should be fine.
Lemon: It's hard for me to read through these sunglasses!
Hippopotimoose [Skullman0582]:
Hippopotimoose is Frizzleshitz's friend that Donkamule absolutely despises. Hippopotimoose is completely oblivious and considers anyone his friend. He often shows up when no one asks him and shouts an annoying "HAI GUISE!"
Voice Description: Hippopotimoose should probably sound like a bit of a hick with those big buck teeth. One of those "Gee, shucks" kinda guys. Come to think of it, a lot like Goofy.
Figure: Oh, just the bloke you have to thank for saving your very lives.
--- ED NOTE: This line makes more sense in the actual script... Actually, on second thought, not by much.
Donkamule: Okay, that sounds pretty foolproof... just one thing: how do you plan to get the males pregnant?
Hippopotimoose: Well, he orders from the baby store like anyone else would.
[everyone looks at him]
Donkamule: [facepalm] Hippopotimoose, for the love of crap...
Scorpony [Sapphire]:
Scorpony is the lead girl character and is the girl Donkamule always wants to get with but always gets turned down. She's sort of a grounded character, but she is NOT any sort of environmentalist or vegetarian or any of that clichéd crap that the female lead usually is. You can't tell from a shot of her head, but she has a giant scorpion's body that no one seems to be freaked out by. She hangs out with the only other female character, Quacka. She's kind of sick of Donkamule an co.'s crap, but is still nice to them as she might be the only character with morals.
Voice Description: Uhh, she's a girl. That's really the only defining point of Scorpony's voice. That probably makes her the easiest to audition for. She sounds like the average woman, any non-insane voice would suffice.
Donkamule: Oh, nothing, I was just uh... just uh... uhhh.
[zooms in on Scorpony's... "ass"]
Scorpony: *gasp* Were you staring at my abdomen?!
Donkamule: [panicking] Wha?! I... No!... I mean... I don't know, I...
Scorpony: Oof, good bye, Donkamule. [walks off]
---
Scorpony: Show yourself! Who are you?
Figure: Aye, the name's Hugh. [turns on light] Hugh Manatee.
Quacka [Sapphire]:
Quacka is my "black" character. Even though she's completely white. Hence her name. Shut up, I think it's clever! Even though she's white, I want her to sound genuinely black. You don't have to be black to audition (hey, look at Cleveland's voice actor). She's Scorpony's friend and Lemon's secret crush. Everybody knows, though, except for Lemon. She could be considered the only character of the main cast to wear clothes since she wears a water tube around her waist at all times.
Voice Description: Black. I thought I'd have more to write here than Scorpony's, but it seems not. All I need is a black girl's voice.
Audition Lines: -"Donkamule, what are you doing?" -"DAY-UMN, girl!" -"You boys are going down!" -"You guys are out of your mind."
Script Tidbits:
Donkmaule: S-... say, what were you doing just walking outside of Lemon's house at this time of day, anyway?
Quacka: [panicking] Uhh, nothing!... What, a girl can't take a nice walk outside at 3:30 in the afternoon? The fact that he's in the tub right now is a complete coincidence!
Donkamule: I never said anything about him being in the tub... Wait a minute, 3:30 in the afternoon? [looks at camera] You buttholes woke me up early!
Quacka: Who are you talking to?
Donkamule: Err... no one. Anyway, I should probably get going...
Bit [sonicmega]:
Bit is the last of the reoccurring characters. That's because he's just a bit character. In fact, you could say he was 100 bit characters. He plays EVERY Bit character. The doctor, the guy working the cash, whatever! He always has the same voice and is always called Bit. The characters are aware of this but seem to ignore it.
Voice Description: Just to be as offensive as possible, I want him to have a thick French accent. Because he's a frog. Ahaha? I know Bit isn't a very French name, but I mean... he has a beret! I even type his lines with a French accent.
Audition Lines: -"Ah, mon pauvre Donkamule." -"Hé, aren't you going to pay for zat?" -"Ohohoho, I'm glad you asked, mon ami!" -"I am French! I eat ze croissant wiz ze fromage!" (ED NOTE: It's okay, I'm part French so I'm allowed to be a total arse! )
I won't give Bit any script tidbits (lol irony) because you'd really need a complete understanding of what's going on to get whatever specific character he's acting as. Also that he has no real personality.
Now there are two characters that appear in Episode 1 but don't return, they are:
Hugh Manatee [sonicmega]:
An incredibly English gentleman who acts as the villain. He wants to create manatee crossbreeds with the main cast because manatees are endangered or some crap like that. He's there for like a few minutes before the cast escapes. It turns out to be a dream anyway [OOPS SPOILERS].
Voice Description: An old British man who you could visualize in a poacher's outfit with some wine.
Audition Lines: -"The name's Hugh. Hugh Manatee!" -"I brought you gents here for a reason!"
Script Tidbits: ED NOTE: You're obviously playing the character labeled "Figure" here.
Hippopotimoose: H-hey! Who are you?
Figure: Oh, just the bloke you have to thank for saving your very lives.
Donkamule: Oh, no, no, no, everytime someone tries to convince the main characters they're good after kidnapping them always turns out evil in the end. Don't listen to him; he's full of it!
Figure: ...Alright, I'm full of it, but this all IS for a good cause, I assure you.
Scorpony: Show yourself! Who are you?
Figure: Aye, the name's Hugh. [turns on light] Hugh Manatee.
Cameraman [Vivvav]:
I mentioned earlier how the series breaks the fourth wall a lot. That is to say, the characters are often aware that they're in a show. The first episode's plot is almost completely based on the fourth wall as Donkamule wakes up to find a crew in his house making a series without his permission.
Voice Description: Preferably make it sound like he's talking though a microphone or megaphone.
Audition Lines: -"Are you going to do anything interesting or what?" -"What? That's not a story!"
Script Tidbits:
Donkamule: [waking up] *yaaawn* ... Huh? Wha- OHMYGOD. The hell are you people doing in my house?!
Camera man: ...Oh, you didn't know? Well we're going to be making a series based off of your life from now on.
Donkamule: [shifty eyes] ...And you started it off with me dreaming?... How cliché. [lays back down and rolls out of bed]
And that's all! I hope to hear back from many of the talented Voice Actors on this site and hope you think my series has potential!

Re: Donkamule (Original Series) Need 7 Reoccurring « Reply #9 on Aug 7, 2009, 5:53pm »
I updated the original post to include actual dialogue from the script if anyone wants to try out more lines. I probably added too much of the story, but hell, I don't think the series has a cult following before episode one looking for spoilers.
And this totally wasn't an excuse to bump the thread.

Sent my audition, and this time not just in my dreams! Hehe! I had recorded them last night while in desperate need of sleep, and apparently dreamed sending them to you, because today I was looking at my sent messages and went, "Hey, wait a second..."
