"SpongeBob SquarePants" Help Wanted Reef Blower... !!INSTALL!!

While Drymon and Hill were writing the pilot, Hillenburg was also conducting auditions to find voices for the show's characters.[7] He had created the character of SpongeBob with Tom Kenny,[7][18] in which he utilised Kenny's and other people's personalities to help create its personality.[8] Drymon said, "Tom came in a few times so we could pitch him what we were working to help him find the right voice. Tom had already worked on lots of other animated shows, and Steve wanted to find an original sounding voice."[7] Kenny originally used the voice of SpongeBob for a very minor female alligator character named Al in Rocko's Modern Life who appeared in the episode "Dear John." Kenny forgot the voice initially, as he created it only for that single use. Hillenburg, however, remembered it when he was coming up with SpongeBob and used a video clip of the episode to remind Kenny of the voice.[8] Kenny says that SpongeBob's high-pitched laugh was specifically aimed at being unique, stating that they wanted an annoying laugh in the tradition of Popeye and Woody Woodpecker.[19]
