“Oi” (working character name)

About the Job

OI is a stylized mime-clown hybrid character appearing within studiothree’s retro-inspired late-night programming environment. She exists somewhere between a surreal television host, performance artist, and mysterious signal interruption. Unlike traditional silent mime characters, OI speaks directly to the audience. Her delivery is calm, observant, playful, slightly offbeat, and occasionally unsettling without becoming exaggerated or cartoonish. The character draws inspiration from: retro television personalities late-night cable aesthetics surreal comedy analog-era media culture atmospheric horror performance art and visual storytelling OI is expressive through: facial expression eye contact physical stillness controlled gestures stylized movement direct-to-camera interaction The tone of the role is subtle and performance-driven rather than loud or broad. The character should feel intriguing, strange, and memorable while remaining grounded enough to exist naturally within studiothree’s modular programming format. The role may involve: hosted intros/outros short-form commentary atmospheric interstitials surreal reaction segments mime/clown-inspired visual performance stylized self-taped appearances Performers should be comfortable balancing: understated performance visual storytelling camera intimacy surreal tonal shifts improvisation when needed collaborative low-footprint production environments OI is intended to function as a recurring atmospheric presence within studiothree rather than as part of a traditional ensemble cast or serialized narrative.
