Alola Vacation - A Pokemon Animatic (More new Roles added!)
calebkelley for Team Buddy Grunts
Team Buddy is the sinister Evil Team present throughout the "Alola Vacation" Animatic! Although you may not realize it at first. Unlike other Evil Teams, Team Buddy is very happy and charming, almost to the point of being creepy! They dress in a very 1950s vintage way, and are constantly helping people throughout their day! Beneath that nice facade, however, lies an unsettling eeriness just waiting for the right time to strike. (Yes, I was very much inspired by the idea of "Stepford" for this team lol)
For the Team Buddy grunts I'm looking for voices/ways of speaking that sound very "1950s". I tried to write a lot of that into the Audition lines, but when you go back and listen to something from the 50s (like this reference video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxYvICy29Pg) they just had a unique way of speaking that's sort of calming and happy (almost overly happy haha), and that's essentially what I'm looking for with the grunts.
-Male Audition Lines-
(Happy)
"Mightn't it be alright if I battle you?"
(Happy but has been somewhat injured by a powerful Pokemon attack)
"Oh my, this fella sure is strong! I'd hate to be around when he has the eats."
(Happy, although somewhat creepy)
"How do you do? Isn't today a dandy day?"
-Female Audition Lines-
(Happy)
"Well, that would be just swell!"
(Happy, but somewhat concerned)
"Oh my, I didn't hurt your Pokemon did I? Please, take this Full restore. It will make your Pokemon right as rain!"
(Happy, almost creepily so)
"We're your biggest fans, Miss Cynthia. We've been watching you and your darling Garchomp for ages!"
*Feel free to improv here if you want to* (You don't have to though!)
