Title: Casting Call for "The Summer Help"
Post by: Casey Pixmintro on May 27, 2010 02:44 AM
Hey everybody, I decided to start my new series "The Summer Help" now so I need voices!

Here's the script for the first episode, entitled "Brown Bottle Flu" (http://www.thebackalleys.com/dump/files/1059/8594rK_The%20Summer%20Help-%20Brown%20Bottle%20Flu.txt), you can voice act any line from the script that you please.

Remember, if you want to voice these characters, you have to be available in the future to for subsequent episodes.

The characters left to right,

Derek Manthee:
Often fairly nervous and an awkward conversationalist, Derek is a philosophy major in school which he always gets dumped on by his parents about. He can be very idealistic and is known to get on his high-horse about certain issues. The possibility of being wrong or hypocrisy terrifies him. He's the rec center's only lifeguard and also is too busy getting all introspective to pay enough attention to what's going on around him at the pool.

Jim Woodsworth:
(Probably the same Jim from that unfinished cartoon)
Known to be a frat-boyish douche among his coworkers. He's narcissistic and has a strange infatuation with his car (A beat up, piece-of-crap Chevy Chevette hatchback). When he's not taking advantage of kids' gullibility, claiming that doing chores for him is community service, he's probably indulging in any way possible. Although, he may be a stoner douche, he's still a pretty fun guy and is a foil to Derek as much as Derek is to him.

Retired Sgt. Dirk "Burch" Burchibald:
The short, fiery, teeth-clenching supervisor with a Napoleon complex. Often any conversation with him turns into him barking at his employees as if he were a Drill Sergeant. He has an issue with eye contact, forcing all his employees to maintain it at all times while speaking to him. This can cause some issues as employees often have to resort to standing on their knees or even laying on their stomachs when being addressed by him. There's also a possibility he has OCD, just throwing that in for good measure.

Rebecca Kershwell:
When you look at her, do you think "bitch"? Yeah, she is. She hates working with kids and its pretty evident, as much as Jim likes to take advantage of them, they're basically her slaves. As much as she may be a cold-hard bitch, it's more of an outside persona as she is fairly likable to the people around her. Just don't fuck with her or else you're getting teeth-checked with those ridiculous boots she's wearing.

Lolita Pooshawattaha:
The omega hippie. With the ideals of the Hippie movement instilled in her by her parents, she's a peace-loving, drug loving, neo-hippie. She runs the art department at the rec center and has an odd fascination/obsession with beads. She hasn't worn a pair of shoes or anything resembling them since she was little and most likely has callouses thick enough to walk across hot lava. She's always very chipper and optimistic, basically the anti-Rebecca. For as much shit she may get for being a hippie, she can sling it right back though. She's half-Native American if the last name wasn't a hint.

Norm McNulty:
A pissy, large, metal-head. He has a gigantic crush on Rebecca, who is completely oblivious. He works the office at the rec center and is Burch's lackey, much to his dismay. It's obvious he's been working there too long as he often has fantasies of murdering Burch in pretty horrific ways, for as much shit he's had to deal with.

(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F1059%2F36X9e_The%2520Summer%2520Help%2520Characters%2520Draft%25201.jpg&hash=859f16ee8cc78c2ae007c643d2fbd22d0296c453)(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F1059%2F9283qE_Norm%2520Color.jpg&hash=55e14d5a8dc531df6e8737d155c9bbdb7571de52)

Yeah sorry, I don't have a drawing of Norm scanned yet but he's a big fat, socially inept metalhead.

Also looking for a side character, the newspaper Reporter, he doesn't need to be the stereotypical reporter voice either.

Oh and I need several kid voices and thats it.

Yup, also the girls' jawlines aren't as pointy anymore.

ill be honest with you daran your script is terrible, all the criticism said about it is true and to actually pursue the creation of this lame cliche bullshit would essentially just be making another tywo which you swore off. its really not any better than tywo, maybe now you're ripping off family guy a little less. i really want to be blunt with you in hopes that you will listen. this is not a good concept. its been done before, theres nothing original about the premise or the characters. the script looks like it was written by legendary frog. theres nothing good about any of this, i suggest you write another script if you want to produce something that is legitimately funny and wont be adored by idiots.

Post by: Demonous_Xodus on June 13, 2010 06:32 AM
I do somewhat agree that the script needs some re-working.

Some jokes can be changed around to be better, and some of your characters don't seem to speak with much emotion or human in their voice.

Have you considered getting some writers in on this?
Title: Casting Call for "The Summer Help"
Post by: DrRumack on June 13, 2010 05:46 PM
alot of good shows use archetypes

thats pretty much all the powerpuff girls + dexter's lab were

honestly i just think you need to rework the dialogue to seem more human and less written

one thing that sort of bothers me is that Lolita's character seems to be very one dimensional, it's like "i do drugs, that defines me", that's the main thing that bothered me, i could go over the script piece by piece and say what i liked and disliked if you want, but it's not like I'm an expert or anything.
