A Boy Named Charlie
Project Overview
Okay, so I've been making a comic called A Boy Named Charlie. Sadly, I've been really struggling to post it on webtoon because I just have some issues with my computer wanting to turn my image quality into shit. So because of that, I wanted to make a dub and post it to youtube instead!
So here is the basic plot, Charlie is the main character, he is going off to college and is having to face the world the best he can, though of course he is struggling, because as he is quickly finding out, real life is hard. He meets a lot of interesting people over time, and his backstory is slowly released over the comic. For right now I'm only casting the main characters, though there will certainly be more characters in the future, so if there is anyone who tries out and doesn't get the part, please be sure to keep an eye out for when I'm looking for side characters too.

Charlie is basically what I would describe as a sinnamon roll, what does that mean? It means he’s an utter sweet heart and everyone sees him as an adorable bean, but he’s flirty beyond all belief. He tends to act quickly without much thought as he’s found that makes life more interesting. He easily gets bored of life if it stays the same for too long so he likes to switch things up by changing something big every now and again. He doesn’t like long term projects, rather quick things he can get done in a few hours. Things that take days are just something that bores him. However he will stick to something once he starts it until he finally finishes it, so if you give him a longer project he will do it, but he won’t like it. He doesn’t like making promises and will say this, “You never know the future really, and this way I never break a promise, and I still have never broken one” Charlie is pretty scrappy and though he doesn’t like to be the one to start the fight, he won’t turn one down. He also enjoys kind of playing around with gender expression a bit because he doesn't really care what clothes are for boys and girls, he just wears what he wants to.
(Nervous for the first class) Okay, it's just your first class.... Just find a seat and sit. They're all staring at me....
Oh yeah, I chose to wear a dress today... It's way too hot not to though! They are comfy and breezy, so of course I'd wear one today!
You never know the future really, and this way I never break a promise, I've never broken one yet!
Prim is a very spunky girl, she is tall, confident, and honestly just loves everyone. She is known to be silly, and sometimes a little overbearing too because she is pretty loud most of the time. Her emotions can switch on a dime, and not only that, but they are also usually extreme and just over dramatic. She sucks at flirting, but tries her best, and when she does flirt, it honestly just comes off as goofy. She falls in love way too quickly, and really when she does, she falls hard. But she is a very fun character to play because she is just so sparky and giddy.
(First meeting Charlie) Hey! I like your dress!
You're so short it's adorable! (Pause, and tone shift, you just made Charlie mad and he yelled at you) Wait.... I'm sorry!
My Name is Prim Rose, but you can call me Prim, or Rose if you like.
Jordan is the room mate of Charlie, they had an unfortunate meeting where Charlie quite literally bumped into him, only to anger him. He is very quick to anger and he doesn't like to show emotion very much unless it is anger or joy. It is a very uncomfortable situation for him when someone else is being emotional, and he kind of panics when put into a situation like this. He is known as a bit of the pretty boy, having blonde hair and blue eyes and many girls fall for him and his "bad boy" type attitude. Though of course he isn't entirely ice, he can be really sweet when he feels like it at least, and though he may struggle with emotions, when they are there, they can actually be fairly obvious.
(Very Angry) Watch where you're going and back off my stuff!
Of course, I have to share my dorm with an idiot like you.
Shit... don't cry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you feel like that..
This is a pretty small role throughout the comics, however it does show up a good few times throughout them as there are flashbacks to reveal more about Charlie's past. This rendition of him can go from pretty small child (Like around 5) to a young teenager (About 13) and it would be really helpful if there was someone who could possibly play that age range, however if you think you can only do one section (Say 5-10 or 11-13) Then go for it, and if I think you're a good fit, then I'll find another person to do the part you don't feel as comfortable with.
5-10 should all have about the same voice, really just the voice of a young prepubescent boy.
11-13 however, he is starting puberty, so his voice should just be slightly deeper since he is aging.
(Child, first day of school at a new school) Hello, I'm Charlie, and I just moved here because I got a new family again! I like playing soccer, and I like dogs.
(Child, getting reprimanded, and basically crying) I-I'm sorry.... I didn't mean to
(Teen, meeting his next care takers) Hey, it's nice to meet you guys. Not that it really matters, I'll be gone in another month anyways.
For this one I need someone who can kind of do a few different foster dads because there are a few that pop up. Once again, if you are not able to do more than one "dad" voice, then that's fine, and just do one, there is a good chance I'll be casting more than one person for this role. These guy's don't pop up a lot really, just showing up in the occasional flash back, they are a pretty small role, but I do need someone who can stay on the project long term, because while there are very few lines, these guys show up throughout the story.
There is 3 lines per voice, please type which one(s) you are trying out for with your clip.
(Foster Dad 1- This rendition is in general just not a great guy, he is very much a "man's man" and anything outside of the norm kind of pisses him off) I wont have any boy in my household wearing a dress. I'm sending you back today.
Don 't make me get the damn belt out again! Go to your fucking room!(Foster Dad 2- This version is much kinder, and honestly just wants to get Charlie to like him, and accept him as a caretaker)
It's Okay, you can call me dad!
Hey bud, what's got you so upset? Oh... kids at school giving you a hard time again?
You need to go to your room. These grades are unacceptable, you need to focus more on your studies.... I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.(Foster dad 3- This is the type who just doesn't get involved too much)
Yeah yeah, that's nice. Go tell your mother about it.
Ask your mother.
Eh, good riddance, I'm just tired of having foster kids roaming the house all the time.
This roles is very similar to the foster father ones, there is a lot of different types, and I need a few different type of voices and tones. I'm going to use the same 3 tones as the foster fathers, but know there could be more than just those types in the story. There is a good chance there will be multiple people casted for this role as well.
There is 3 lines per voice, please type which one(s) you are trying out for with your clip.
(Foster Mother 1- She is just as strict as her counterpart, she doesn't like it when her "kids" are anything out of the ordinary.)
I'm not raising a faggot in this household!
You're just a fucking failure as a child, get out of my sight!
You're only here so the government will give us money to raise you, we aren't afraid to send you back to that hell hole!(Foster Mother 2- She is very sweet, and can kind of be a bit of a pushover sometimes, wanting to be seen as a friend ore than anything)
Hey! How was your day?
Okay, fine... we can get ice cream tonight
Hey, it was really nice having you as part of the family for a while.(Foster Mother 3- The founder part of foster dad 3, she's the one that Charlie always gets sent to, she can be fussy, and honestly she gets too involved.)
That's amazing! You did such a good job, I can't believe you aren't top of the class!
There are kids who are bullying you again? Why I outta call up their parents and tell them what's what!
I can't believe he has to leave now, he was such a good kid!
