It's either a great & or not so great sign when family members start humming a new song I'm recording. I leave that decision up to them!

The advice I give most often to indie filmmakers or game devs about home-recorded VA lines is to avoid using raw dialog files without good audio treatment. All visual components in their projects receive scrutiny & quality tweaking & fixes. Dialog audio should receive the same.

These original theme songs from cancelled projects would make for an awkward to explain pseudo greatest non-hits album.

Always accepted I'm a freak about great sound quality. But a recent discussion with an old friend about LUFs and the look on their face... pretty sure now freak is a mild description.

We're up to 1350 auditions and they don't close until tomorrow night...
Get 'em in while you still can! We're not casting before the deadline, and at this point we're not casting anytime soon anyway. This is slightly more enthusiasm than we anticipated. 😅

I could never really use the 'What's in it for me?' mindset. I see it, recognize it & shun it... so I guess that's a plus.
