So I did the thing before I chickened out (or came to my senses) and threw up a GFM as a stop gap measure. I hate doing it more than anyone will hate seeing another fund raiser.

It's Filipino Heritage Month!

Bad House Celebrates it by sharing our own series created by @rocketsandpens.bsky.social on our channel. Fabian grew up in the Philippines and their storytelling has been heavily influenced by their experiences growing up in Manila.

I’ve been told by multiple voiceover directors that I could play an anime protagonist. I did not believe it until auditioning for a protagonist this morning that fit my voice print. I now fully understand the assignment. 😂

I am finally casting for a TTRPG AP show that has been in the works for quite some time. My goal is to get together a super fun table. I am so hyped about this!

Moment of transparency:
This year has been a real struggle. Both mentally and artistically. My artistic expression has suffered terribly, I was dam near down and out, but I had to tell myself "Pick yourself up buttercup, there's a job you have to do." One day I will be Twitch/YouTube partner.

Whether or not you are an artist, you should watch It Takes A Universe. There are so many great interviews with so many brilliant nuggets of information in the interview series that you can apply to you life. Oscar Montoya’s interview is one of those great interviews.

Let’s file these findings under “No” and “duh Sherlock”

Didn’t need a full blown investigation to know it was preventable.
The submersible implosion that killed five aboard a Titanic dive was “preventable,” the U.S. Coast Guard said Tuesday.

The investigation blames OceanGate for ignoring protocols, using “intimidation tactics” and exploiting regulatory loopholes.
Titan submersible disaster was ‘preventable’ tragedy, Coast Guard says
The Titan submersible maker’s “intimidation tactics” and failure to follow established safety practices led to the disaster that killed five, a federal investigation finds.

The last election broke something in me. I have 0 patience for nonsense. I am quick to have someone escorted off the premises if they want to talk real slick. That ignorance can be taken elsewhere, because I don’t want to hear it.

Couple of big 30s lessons I learned from the disgusting things that emerged this week on social media:

1. Trust my gut when something remotely feels off about someone.
2. My social circle being small is a good thing. I am keeping my head down and doing the work to advance my career in private.

If you told younger kid me I’d one day audition for Netflix shows, I’d say you were out of your mind and ask you “what is a Netflix?” I’m simply grateful for this journey—even the tough parts. I’ve come so far, and there’s still so much more ahead. #voiceactor

I was today years old when I found out it’s living vicariously through someone, not bicuriously. Honestly, my word choice is way better.

Saw O by Cirque du Soleil in Vegas two weeks ago—& somehow I ended up being 1 of 2 people pulled on stage to perform with the clowns. For 5 minutes, I was fully in my element in front of that massive crowd. That moment confirmed it: I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. The clown gods have spoken!
