The Zipper Bunch Band Show (PILOT)
DHowiedoit for Webber the Hippopotamus
AGE: 45 (male)
BORN: New Orleans, Louisiana
The oldest, tallest, mightiest and biggest of the band (and kind of the wisest too), joining the band from his fondness and skill with brass instruments, especially the trumpet. With an expertise in fishing and a skilled and delicious culinary set of skills up his sleeves, this hungry hunk sure knows how to please a rumbling stomach, and his own appetite, the band says. A jolly ol’ gentle giant with a joyous and humorous heart and mind; his infectious laughter and boundless hilarity brighten even the gloomiest of days. He is always trying to keep things lively and hopeful within the band.
Must be able to put on a excited-to-relaxed (situational) flowing deepish cartoony voice (mannerisms similar to Foghorn Leghorn), while maintaining the idea of the voice examples down below, and also to be able to sing as well in said voice.
