DYAD: Recurring Characters [PAID]
Noflers for Mateo
Deaf/hard of hearing Actors Only, preferably Hispanic/Latino
He's Bruce's best friend on earth, and is pretty similar to Bruce in a lot of manners. They're both really invested in their school work and also enjoy geeking out over new video games and cartoons together. Mateo is kind and outgoing, and has an interest in race cars as well since his dad used to be a race car driver. He is hard of hearing and wears a cochlear implant. He comes from a large family, and is used to kind of just blending into the background, which is why he tries to be more outgoing and make friends at school.
Vocal Description: Medium-tone voice, with just a slight hint of a rasp.
Singing Requirement: Mateo will sing, so it is preferred that you include a singing sample!
Other Notes: Mateo is Latino, and speaks fluent English and Spanish. He speaks primarily Spanish at home, so it is preferred that VAs trying out for Mateo be comfortable speaking/fluent in Spanish!

[joking, jovial] "Hey, you're still planning on coming over to my place tonight, right? Cause there's no way I'm gonna let you beat level 11 and just leave me behind!"
[hurt, a bit depressed] "I don't know man, I kind of feel like he has a point. I know it's not really my business, but you have felt kinda...distant lately? You're always running off, and you never really ever tell any of us why. [sighs] It's just kinda hard to believe you when you say your friends are a priority, but you run off every chance you get."
[laughing] "Bro, I can't believe you let your sister talk herself into directing a video for the science project! [laughs] I can't WAIT to see how that turns out! If it's anything like her submission to the film festival last night, it's about to be crazy as heck!"
