Mare in the Grass
Project Overview
Mare in the Grass is set in a Catholic middle school. Bryce, the most popular kid in school, is sure to win the upcoming talent show with his awful poetry skills. Mikey, Stephen, and Mary are determined to stop him.

Mary is a lead role in this film, starring as the conniving 12 year old with a plan. She knows what she wants and how to get it. She is often not taken seriously because of her sweet-looking, non-threatening outward appearance.
Looking for a tween-teen girl voice with a valley girl accent (a bit of vocal fry, says "like" more often than necessary, can speak a bit fast). The voice can lean into the stereotypical cartoon teen girl voice, but not so high pitched that it sounds unrealistic.

Please use high quality microphones when you record. If selected for the role you will record your lines with the other voice actors over zoom to achieve a very natural/conversational reading. After recording please send me your files as a wav, mp4, or mp3 so I can use them in Adobe Audition.

Shhh! Shut up! Shut up! Bryce cannot win. Pfft could you imagine?? Ya, no.Field trips are, like, sacred or whatever.
My plan will work. I just need to know if you guys are in.
Oh I already asked the impression kid to do an impression of an audience member.
This is a lead role. Mikey is a 12 year old boy with a temper. He is small in stature and gets defensive when teased by his best friend Stephen. Although he tries to act tough, it is clear that Mikey is harmless.
Looking for voices that can capture the voice cracks of a young teen boy. A raspy, boyish voice is also preferred.

Did you see him out there!? Anyone could’ve thought of that! Ooh! I just wanna…
Yeah! Yeah! I’m not going to a goddamn water park!
I’m not a wussy, I just don’t float!
Stephen is the 12 year old laid-back best friend of Mikey. He can be sarcastic at times, but that all goes away when talking to Mary, his ultimate crush.
Looking for voices that can capture a young teen. He is past the voice cracking stage, but hasn't quite matured into his voice yet. Feel free to incorporate stereotypically "nerdy" traits (eg. lisp, nasally, etc.).
