In my home recording booth, I have two options: standing and sitting.

Standing is when I’m serious in auditioning and recording.

Sitting when I’m practicing and in classes, but also because it gets tiring to stand for hours in a session.

I want to sleep…

I hate 10 hours full-time…

Maybe switch to part-time for awhile. I will train my voiceover skills easier this way. I’ll switch back to full-time once I request a transfer to LA.

“Failure is learning in life.”

For someone with MDD, failure is being told, “you’re not going to survive in life if you keep doing this.” Then being given a lengthy essay that translates to gibberish and no specific basics on how to be better while dwelling in misery.

Got nothing in mind for Black Friday.

Strictly saving up.

Whenever I see other VA announcements, I would ask, “was I ever given an email audition for this role?”

Checking my emails, I did. I didn’t audition because I was too busy and too tired to stand in my recording booth.

Now trying not to do anymore overtime.

How long I have to wait until every field of voiceover becomes accessible to remote recording 100% and not strictly limit to studio hubs? Within the next 10-30 years before I reach retirement age?

Wondering if my daytime shift change would be the cure-all to my voiceover struggles. In the first 2 weeks, I’ll need to adjust before I can do booth warm-ups.

68th week of full-time. Still no word on my daytime shift transfer. I’ll have to reapply.

6 more weeks until 2026.

While I’m waiting for my daytime shift, I should watch some anime dubs for inspiration and take notes. Thinking Deer Friend Nokatan with my mom.

It’s never ever ever good to be surrounded by Yes People.

It’s like being told, “You are a genius.” And you answered: 2 + 2 = Fish

My dad watches a tv commercial with a caption. “Images generated by AI.”

No wonder why my eyes hurt.

Once I know audio editing and video, I’ll be fandubbing as Tim Curry.

Still feeling far from voicing in anime dub industry. Do I really have to take a decade to finally break in?

Xiangliu, snake monster with nine human heads. Sometimes depicted with snake heads, which I find too boring or too much like the Greek Hydra. Human heads make it more unique.

Finishing work for the day. Trying to think of how to manage my schedule for voiceover on my days-off. Until my mind starts shifting towards food.

A week after the hospital, my dad went from using a walker to using a cane. Don’t know if this is temporary or for life.

Rethinking this scenario if I should have an AI brain scan and upload my brain patterns to a robot.

It will think and behave like me, but it won’t have my exact memories growing up from 1990s to now. I wonder if it will also have my rebellious attitude towards its manufacturer.

Worst part of night shift. Getting off from work and still too early in the morning for Costco food court.

Often times, I’m seeing hair growth product ads, which I’ll never use in my lifetime. I’m content with my baldness when I have fancy hats to cover it.

Instead, ad algorithms should show me more Sonic stuff (for Shadow), One Piece (for Nico Robin), or just anime in general.

Fully recovered from a year of overtime.

Now I have the energy to cry out tears of how much I’m still not ready or worthy to be seen by the industry that doesn’t know I exist.

67th week of full-time night shift. Still waiting for my request of daytime switch.

7 more weeks until 2026.
November 13, 2025 at 1:13 AM
Who do I look for in coaching or tutoring if I want to train myself to sound like Shadow the Hedgehog?
November 13, 2025 at 12:58 AM
Super strict on my budget than usual. Cannot afford anything other than life essentials.
November 13, 2025 at 12:56 AM
Feeling the powers of a thunder god within me.

Checking work app on my request to switch to daytime shift.

Still pending…

I can’t audition on my days-off if my biological clock is set to night shift.
