Frog Raccoon Strawberry: The Animated Series
Project Overview
Frog Racoon Strawberry is a webcomic from 2009 made by Kyle Carrozza. Sadly, the website that used to host it and the comic itself is now defunct. Thankfully, after years of espionage, blackmail, and asking really nicely. I received a backlog of the entire comic and now I have the materials I need to turn it into a full-fledged animated series.
FOR THE TIME BEING, THIS WILL BE A VOLUNTEER POSITION.

Latest Updates

Hello again, I’ve decided to add three new auditions to the project. I’ve also extended the deadline to October 1st.

Casting for the three main leads has been made
Hey guys, So after much consideration and listening to many auditions, I've decided to close the casting call for Strawberry, Marissa, and January. To those who made it, congratulations and I look forward to working with you on this wonderfully insane project. To those who auditioned, don't fret. I'll be adding more auditions to the project since the world of "Frog Raccoon Strawberry" is filled with many colorfully weird characters. So stay tuned for more updates!
The best word to describe Strawberry Fields is "Random"! She's an anthropomorphic raccoon in a frog suit who thinks she IS a frog. Despite that, she's extremely energetic and loves helping her friends whenever they are in need. And I guess she's also a superhero?
*Ideally, she would sound like Michaela Dietz. So go for a higher-pitched version of Amethyst from Steven Universe. Recommended but completely optional*
[You're in the park talking to a pigeon to see if it can eat an entire pizza without throwing up] If you can eat this whole Pizza without throwing up. I'll give you a dollar!
[You're at the store and discover that you have 25 cents in small change and want to exchange it for a quarter. You can barely contain your excitement] Sweet Whippoorwill! I has 25 cents in small change! Quater Me Amadeus!
[You're talking to your friend about how to win back a boy's attention after turning him down. She suggests acting like a normal teenage girl. You mock the idea and concept with a valley-girl accent] Miss Giiiiiiirly-girl, getting all dolled up for boys and crap! It's the LAST thing I want to be!
While her parents are aliens, Marissa Leepthrokk was born here on Earth. She's an Alien-American. Marissa is a very low-key person and wants to stick out from the crowd as little as possible.
*Even though she's an alien, Marissa still speaks like a normal person. I personally imagine her having a bit of a monotone voice the likes of Daria or Wednesday Adams. But you can play around with that kind of voice if you wish*
[Your friend had just been challenged to a hopscotch contest by her rival. Having frog powers, she jumps all the way to the friggin' sky. The rival regrets her choices in life. However, you're too enamored with your book to notice or care] You do realize you've challenged a "Frog" to a jumping contest?
[Your friend just rejected a boy who had a crush on her. You ask if he's up for grabs in a lustful manner] Can I have him then? Marissa Likey.
[One of your coworkers gives your extremely energetic friend a caffeinated beverage. You break your monotone manner of speaking to warn them about the dangers of giving a hyper-active person caffeine] HOW COULD YOU GIVE SO MUCH CAFFEINE TO THE LIKES OF STRAWBERRY FIELDS?! HAVE YOU AN INKLING OF THE MADNESS YOU HAVE JUST UNLEASHED!?
January is a big fan of geek culture. She has a very cheery personality and is up for any weird things that come her way... well almost.
[You and a friend are going to a Cartoon convention and you are grateful for them accompanying you] Thanks for the company, Strawberry. I really didn't want to attend "Con-Toon" all alone.
[Your friend is reading a comic that had just been adapted into a movie. You get on her case about liking something because it's popular] How could you possibly really like it if you read it amongst Hype!?
[You just got into a fight with your friend. You throw one last insult at her before she leaves] Oh, GO WATCH "POM POKO" WITH THE LIGHTS TURNED DOWN!
Mindy Zorch is an eccentric young lady who tends to speak in nonsequiturs. She has a really whispy personality and has a tendency of getting people's names wrong. She also has a superhero identity called "Lemonade" that she tries and fails to keep hidden at times.
As for her voice, I figured for her to have a whispy monotone like Yuki Nagato from Haruhi Suzumiya. So go for that.
[You're the new girl in school. The principal calls you up to the front of the class to introduce yourself and you do in your own eccentric monotone way of speaking] "Hi, I'm Mindy Zorch. I'm a girl and stuff. I like to read the second issues of obscure publications and I think I'm only wearing one sock today... Also, I like Lemons."
[One of your classmates tries to talk to you, but you have to leave. Before you go you give your classmate a parting gift ... a carrot] "Hello, Miss Aardvark. I have some important things to attend to so I must be going."
[You snap right out of a nap, you break your monotone speech pattern and belt out a "Sailor Moon" style pledge to the heavens] "I must take a pledge!!! In the name of all things sour, sweet, and colorful, I hereby make a pledge to all of the citruses of the world to rid the universe of bad stuff!!!"
Josh is a good guy. He's the leader of a band called "Rugburn Samurai" and he's the on-again-off-again love interest of Strawberry Fields. He wants to win Strawberry's affection but fails to see that she only sees herself as a frog and not a raccoon. He can be a bit emotional and tends to cry at the slightest hint of rejection. Despite that, he's still a nice kid.
[You just found out that your best friend has been telling the girl that has a crush on you to stay away from you. You're borderline pissed off] "What was all that business about Strawberry having to stay away from me, Marco?"
[You just got rejected by a girl that you've had a crush on, on Valentine's day. You're trying to recuperate but the tears start to flow.] "Okay, Strawberry. Maybe Next Time. I've got to get back to band practice. We're an Emo band and I'm properly miserable now..."
[You just got through showing some demos to your band after being dumped twice by two different girls. The band loves the demos and asks for your secret. In a depressed tone, you give a straight answer] "Well... Ever since my luck with girls has gone so sour, I've been absolutely miserable, you see..."
Marcus is a rather angry young frog. He is the only sane person in a town full of "Eccentrics". He's also not a fan of Strawberry's appropriation of frog culture in her everyday life.
*As for his voice, I imagine him having a bit of an afro-American accent. So POC VAs are a bit of a plus.
[You notice a student parading around in a frog suit and pretending she's a frog herself. As a frog, you find this species appropriation insulting and you call her out on it.] What do you think you're doing?! Do you have any concept of how speciesist that little get-up is?!
[You just figured out that your band will be a success as long as the leader is miserable. You make it your life's mission to make sure that is possible] "Our band will be a success if I can keep Josh miserable. I won't let anything stand in our way!"
[You just became the victor in a "Frog Fu" fight. You tell your opponent to stay away from your best friend and that they are a faker] "Guess I won. Stay away from Josh. He deserves success... and a chick without an identity crisis. Stop trying to be something you're not."
Pippi Possum is a stereotypical mean girl. She constantly harasses Strawberry in hopes of making her their rival. She also has a thing for fishsticks... but that's neither hear nor there.
[You're dating the crush of your rival out of sheer spite. She stumbles upon you cuddling up against him and you can't help but take this opportunity to gloat] Are We Dating? Why, yes. I, Pippi Possum, am dating Josh Lotor.
[You just challenged your rival to a game of extreme hopscotch, completely oblivious to the fact that your rival has frog powers making her able to jump to friggin' space] "Holy Frick! She's Hopping the CRAP out of that scotch!"
[You challenge your rival to a wizard's duel. Filled to the brim with confidence, you once gloat about how you've spent a year at a wizard's school and that you're going to win] "I've spent the past year as a mary sue, so I'm totes ready to win! Totally Totes!"
