Commercial Casting Calls and Auditions

Casting Call: Voice Actor for “The Grouch” – Sports Brand Campaign

Job Description:
Miami Talent Casting is seeking a dynamic voice actor to bring “The Grouch,” a unique and eccentric character, to life in an upcoming campaign for a major sports brand. “The Grouch” is a middle-aged, snake-human hybrid living in an abandoned football stadium. Despite his mischievous demeanor, he’s a passionate sports fan who generously gifts custom-made shoes to his favorite players.

The character’s voice requires a goblin-esque quality—nasally, with a touch of baritone when provoked, and a hint of a snake-tongued lisp. His speech has a sing-song, chaotic rhythm, often escalating into a frantic, loud delivery when he’s excited about his obsessions.
