Apologies if you have submitted for Sampson before 1/07 @9p. I fixed a punctuation error.
Also -- Thank you to the almost 100 incredibly talented submissions! I didn't think this little project would get seen let alone have this much activity and it means a lot that all of you are sharing your immense talent! Very excited to sit down and comb through all of these auditions.

Series Regular. Timid and studious, Sampson the toy dog usually relies on his best friend Geraldine to structure his day around. He would rather be at home with his vast library of books and a warm cup of tea. When she leaves he's thrown into a frenzy of anxiety trying to understand his place in The Neighborhood.
Please submit two different takes, one as if he were sober as well as if he were drunk.
I don't love her like that, I'm just lost, I-- You don't know what it's like, what it's done to me, my nerves... She's gone and I don't know where or what to do anymore and nobody-- (A Beat. A Breath.) Nobody cares about the things I care about like she does.
Recurring Character. This older ladybug is stuck in a precarious position which leaves her feeling very fearful at first. She warms up slowly and after a few jokes and an unexpected save, she's eager to share her savior and new pal with her gang of friends back home.
This ladybug being transgender and adding padding to her shells is essential to her character.
I was flipped a long time, you see. I never thought I'd feel the ground beneath my feet again. I am so glad you bumped into me.
**scared yell**
Recurring Character. A single homemaker with a heart of gold, ear for gossip, and an eye for someone in the neighborhood, Sally is a toy seal who lives in The Neighborhood.
You can have your feelings about the whole thing! Just don't let them sit inside you too long. Maybe get them out in a letter? Even if you don't send it!
Co-Star. Separated by distance from the rest of the neighborhood, Frogman is constantly in his pond and sipping a martini. He has the head of a merman, a human torso, and a mermaid fishtail. He was isolated at home and here, but he's always looking for a friendly chat. Read Whimsically 💫
Perhaps, and this is just an observation -- an opine of a consistent projector of his own feelings and what have you -- her emotional state may have been tinged with a dash of... Loneliness?
Co-Star. This worm takes his job EXTREMELY seriously! Navigating the fog to deliver mail and keep people connected is a tricky job, but he does it and does it well. He may be gruff at times, but The Postman sure does love delivering--melts his hearts.
Please submit at least two extremely varied takes including an Irish Brogue.
Now the Postal System we have here is very complex. Navigating The Fog isn't just walking from point A to Point B -- if you don't have that connection, you may just find yourself lost in it forever.
Co-Star. Mrs. Giraffe is by far the most shy in The Neighborhood while her husband is the most talkative and opinionated. She's very thoughtful and though it takes a while for her to warm up to anybody, once she thaws she'll gab with you for ages. She loves her fancy hats!
He has his faults and all, which believe you me sometimes he makes me so mad I just have to stomp my hoof! But he listens to me when I tell him how I feel. At the end of the day, this gift makes me really excited and I want to share it with my best friend.
