El Cheapo: Episodes 1-4
Troy Kramm for Football Players (x4)
As extras, I have no voice or accent in mind for these guys, although it’s worth mentioning that El Cheapo is set in Texas, so Texan accents are encouraged, but if you don’t have or don’t want to do one, a non-accented voice works. Basically, as long as it’s not something overtly foreign and is something you’d hear in the United States in general, it’s fair game. Also, the demo/sample lines aren’t the only ones you need to use – with two exceptions (the second and third demo lines) the only lines that most of the football players have are just complaints.
There are four football player extras in total (which isn't realistic, but we're talking about animation budgets here), so four people will be picked from the auditions.
- english
- male teen
- male young adult
- all american accents
- animation/character
(insert generic complaints here – use the following as examples) “A girl AND a nerd? Seriously?” - “Aw man, come on, coach!” - “Dude, this is bullshit!”
(said in a low energy “stoned” voice) Guys, I’m Commander Underwear! Fa-la-la!
(said in a low energy “stoned” voice) Listen here, you little prick. If I catch you hitting on my girlfriend again, I’m gonna kick your ass. (beat) Silent treatment, huh? Two can play at that game.
That was GREAT! A well-rounded series of generic (situational) complaints and hilarious "stoned" dialogue.
Thanks. Had fun with that one for sure!
