Aye yo!
2023 so far has been such a trip! Other than Inflation, Tiktok/Social Media Wars, possible Fungal pandemic in Flordia(kinda like The Last Of Us) and all the other crazy stuff in the world, I have been pretty damn good. Taken a few steps in my voice over journey that I wanted to update on. Best if I did it here, because Newgrounds seems like a safe haven to me.
So last year, around this time, Saturday Morning TV held auditions to dub a Korean based show called Teteru, and (spoiler alert) I was cast in it along with quite a few of my VA friends. You all might know 1 of them here. Some guy named Corey or whatever. It was my first dubbing job and had a great experience working on it. But since then I hadn't booked much, mostly because of me. Due to living and financial situations, I couldn't audition much. Fast forward to later last year, and focusing more into the start of this year, said friend Corey gave me an audition for a Dating Simulator game based on a pretty popular series shown both on Youtube and here on Newgrounds. A little thing called Spooky Month! I auditioned and was cast as a character named Raccoon, whom I feel will be one of the most fun characters to interact with in game. The team developing the game, "Tender Loving Cannibal" that based on Spooky Month 5's beloved "villian" who is voiced by buddy Corey Levier, has been such a wonderful group of individuals that, through an unfair amount of adversity, have grown to gain both my trust and my admiration. Anyways, here is an amazing piece of art, made by a very talented artist that goes by the name DaniDoods, based on my character, Raccoon.
But it doesn't stop there. I have been able to participate in quite a few projects, that even though I didn't see financial compensation, it helped me to practice both my writing skills and my overall performance in voice over and in editing my audio. I was brought in on a friend's audio drama based on popular TV series, Star Trek, called "Endless Vigilance", which can be streamed on Spotify. I play Senator Helius Tr'Pirraal, a romulan senator, who i believe has a short but very interesting story to tell. Cold hearted and very strict and proper, but a trying father. My character makes his debut on Episode 9.
And lastly, I was part of a very interesting project that was more practice than anything but came out to be a very educating experience. It was the idea of voice acting friend, Chelsea Krause, to put on a weekend long "festival" where all writing, voicing and production were to be all completed within 48 hours all based on the prompt "See No Evil, Hear No Evil and Speak No Evil". I was a writer of one of the 3 audio drama skits that was given the "Speak No Evil" prompt. It took me about 5 or 6 hours to write and alot of coffee, since I started at 1am. I was also given a part to voice for the "Hear No Evil" prompt as well, thankfully the character was basically written for my personality. All 3 stories were all done within the 48 hours given and came out BRILLIANT! You can hear all 3 on Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Spotify.
Other than those projects, I've been auditioning and practicing, as all voice actors should. I hope to work on more this coming next 3 months, that way I can give another update. Til then, keep on moving forward and chase your dreams!
(Note: If you would like to have me voice one of your projects here on Newgrounds, my DMs are open!)
