You're probably wondering why I called you here today.
My name is Trevor Thompson, an oldie but a goodie (45), and for about seven years on YouTube I made videos as 'The Looney Tunes Critic' (LTC) where, as the name suggests, I reviewed the classic and current shorts and shows of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and the whole Warner Bros. stable. At the height of its run, I gave LTC some side characters in the form of Manx, Twinklebelly and Iggy, two mice and a fairy who live in a space ship made from a whiskey bottle called The Sour Mash. Now that I'm more or less done with LTC, I want to give the mice and fairy their own channel (skits and stuff, no Looney Tunes anything).
Twinklebelly's original actress was only available about once a month which was fine when we were doing LTC, but if I'm to give The Sour Mash its own channel, I need someone who's available a lot more (and lives in the Atlanta area, which she did not).
The joke about Twink is that she doesn't wear pants. Ever notice classic cartoon characters don't wear pants? Her whole rep is that she was the first cartoon character to do it, but being female, she was blindsided by the boys club that is Hollywood, and next thing you know, Porky Pig, Donald Duck, Winnie the Pooh (etc.) are doing her thing. To make the actress appear nude (and not anatomically correct for the love of God it's a comedy show on YouTube) we used tights and spanx on the actress, but the right candidate for this job will be responsible for creating their costume (labor and materials will be reimbursed), so any method that works wins the day.
By contacting our production company Ferris Wheelhouse via email, you'll be confirming that you're interested in the role and will be contacted with details about the audition. If you'd like to bring a friend/boyfriend/family member that is of course fine, but please let us know in advance so we can make the appropriate accommodations for your guest(s). You must be over 18 (in your 20s is preferable), have reliable transportation and a good attitude. A dirty sense of humor also really helps, NGL. Also, we're not picky about things like race, size, etc. The right person is the right person. Besides, cartoon characters change their look all the time. Ain't that right, Velma?
If you'd like to know what you're getting into, by all means, search 'The Looney Tunes Critic' on YouTube and you'll find my videos, some of which include adventures with the mice and fairy. We can also have a reel of Twinklebelly's best moments sent to you via email if you're interested (and you can't find it on the LTC channel) to give you an idea of her look/attitude.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and if you're interested, send us an email and any info you think is pertinent (resumé, pictures, video, etc.) and we'll be in touch with the whens and wheres of the audition. Thanks again and I look forward to meeting you!
