It's the honor of my life to have narrated @themonstersknow.com's new book, which released from @simonandschuster.bsky.social today.
I have one of Keith's books on my bedside table, and have been playing D&D since I was 8 and DMing since I was 16, so this was a Pinch Me moment for sure.

I am totally and completely floored. I have just learned that I have been nominated for a 2025 One Voice Award for Best Performance in an Audio Drama by a Male.

Congrats to all the nominees - you set a high bar which I strive to emulate every day.
Thanks, @strangekindstudio.bsky.social !

Has anyone ever gotten any work (or auditions) from @voquent.bsky.social? I've been on it for a few years and have been sent exactly zero auditions from them and have booked zero jobs.

Attention Dubbers! I am talking to a company about dubbing, and they are asking for my dubbing rates for finished hours of audio. As far as I know, dubbing is based on working hours and not finished audio hours. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. What would you say to them?

One of my big goals for 2025 is to narrate a LitRPG title. I've played D&D and Final Fantasy since I was 8 years old - this is right in my wheelhouse. So far, two auditions, not hired for either, though I was proud of both auditions. Come on, universe - make it happen!

Favorite way for casting to collect auditions: Dropbox
Acceptable: Attach mp3 to email
Just ok: Google Form
Annoying: Google Drive link
Least favorite way: Discord
But to be fair, am I willing to do all of these? Yes. Yes, of course.

Well, I just got a few major thumbs ups on my auditions on Bodalgo, for which I used my "fake British/mid-Atlantic/neutral" accent rather than my normal American accent. That is heartening to see! Makes my Monday!

I want to give a shoutout to @girlmadeofjade.bsky.social for posting this snippet of me and her in a doctor's interview gone horribly wrong for @thestoragepapers.com horror podcast recently. Or gone right, depending on whose perspective you take.

Remember when it was so cool if you knew the college tour guide? They'd be mid-tour, and you'd be all, "Hey, Joe!" and all the high school kids and their families would think, "What a great community!" Haha... simple times...

Some Voice Acting perspective:
Baseball is hard.
Baseball = 70% failure rate makes you a Hall-of-Famer
Voice Acting is hard.
Voice Acting = 92% failure booking rate makes you a legend.
Keep at it. Every day.

🎙️ 1635 Auditions
📘 90 Bookings
📈 5.5% Booking Ratio
💰 51.2% of my final year teaching salary
Not too shabby! That's more than double what I made last year. There probably won't be too many years where I can say that.
