"We look for someone who has different flare and different tone," Marcy said.
Marcy and Dall both said chemistry and compatibility with current members is important to see how possible new members would interact with the veterans of the RSO.
Marcy said line memorization and independent thinking is also a plus.
The sketch-comedy group uses a combination of original material and previous acts from Saturday Night Live or Monty Python for their shows.
On the other hand, Marcy prefers to write original skits.
"It shows a lot more of yourself if you're able to write your own sketches," he said. "You're able to pick out something totally new and go with it."
Karson said the name of the group came from a random drawing by Reaves.
She said when he drew a picture of a voodoo doll holding a lunch box, it came to him.
"We were trying to think of the craziest names possible," Karson said. "We wanted people to think 'What in the hell is that?'"
Lunchbox Voodoo has been hired for various groups such as University Board and the residence halls to perform. Dall said they charge anywhere from $25-$100 depending on the length of the show and are willing to play for anyone or a particular organization including greek organizations or local bars.
Lunchbox Voodoo's next show will be at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the lobby of Stevenson Hall.
