Well...It took him about eight months of living here, but Old Man Cat has discovered that if he uses the day bed in my office, it's a rather short step up onto my desk...where there is sometimes food or coffee left unattended.

At least I'll have motivation to keep my work area clean moving forward.

i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.

Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

So...if you begin a conversation with:

"Lefou, I'm afraid I've been thinking..."

And they do not respond with:

"A dangerous pastime..." so you can say, "I know" before actually discussing the topic at hand...

...aren't you legally obligated to call the police?

"Loyalty without inquiry is itself a betrayal."

That line goes harder than it has any right to, damn. Also, very excited to see Jennifer English playing such a badass character!

Not gonna lie, it does make me strangely happy to get the VO scam emails lately, I get it now.

HOWEVER

My guy...I'm a gamer, I'm a computer nerd. I have fat-fingered keys many a time in my life. But how did you miss that you spelled my name with two semi-colons instead of two Ls? 🤣

Them: Hey, we loved your audition for our audiobook! Would you mind doing one more take and slowing it down a bit?

Me, with ADHD/Anxiety: (Oh fuck, I already slow myself down when I do auditions, especially audiobooks...) Absolutely! I'll have that to you tomorrow!

This is a CHALLENGE. 😅

Matthias is super talented and makes some great videos. His new YouTube channel looks like it's gonna be a great place for information and community for voice actors of all levels, so give him a view, a follow, all that good stuff!

Reason #6982 I'm not *that* worried that AI is gonna take over:

The algorithm on LinkedIn just suggested a post to me.

...It was my own post that I had made 2 hours prior to this suggestion.

There used to be several contenders. Now, it is absolutely this one, I use it IRL all the time. Thank you, Amir!

Compliments I've gotten as a voice actor that don't...initially sound quite like compliments 🤣:

"You have the perfect voice for this!" - It was an audiobook on the history of RNA vaccines.

"My colleague heard you and said you were fine. I thought you'd like to know." - Don't go overboard, my guy.

I normally try to play a new horror game around this time of year, but things have been pretty busy and I haven't had the chance.

...But I have absolutely been playing the Crimson Eye event in Phasmophobia, and will continue to do so this week!

You're always in for an interesting time when you get a text from your saltmate (mine is a woman, which is relevant in this instance) that starts off with simply:

"So you're a man."

Screw it, I'm curious.

I don't think I'm intimidating at all. I can be kinda blunt, I've got a bit of a temper (mostly I rant and rave and then I'm over it), and I have several visible tattoos, all of which give people pause sometimes, but at most I'd say I'm a 2? Maybe a 3 depending on the day?

I know escapism isn't the healthiest of practices, but I swear lately it's the only thing that keeps me sane. Playing a game with friends or watching funny shows truly does make the rest of the world fall away for a while, and thank fuck for it.

Remember to run away today, even if only for a while.

It is both amazing and insanely annoying that when I have a day where I just cannot focus and barely get anything done (see: yesterday), that I inevitably have a day the next day where I wake up ready to go and do ALL THE THINGS!

Whatever...Balance is overrated, right?

The to-do list is failing me today. There is always this mental fog for a couple days when I start working out and watching what I'm eating again. Makes studio work fun and interesting!

But apparently being HEALTHY is "good for my career", or whatever, so we push through!

Newbie freelancers, I have question for you!

Im putting together a doc with a buncha tools, thoughts + resources in regards to being a freelancer in video games.

What are your Qs? What did you wish people would talk about more? Im focusing a lot on financial realities.

RTs appreciated!

I love my studio. My husband and I set it up together when he convinced me to take a chance in voice over almost two years ago. It's been good to me, but I find myself wondering...

How big is your studio? Do you have a small space, or do you use a full office that you've treated? I have ideas...

Because I'm terrible at self-marketing, I should point out, that my latest novel, Zack Jackson & The Ruins of Athos (book 5 in the Zack Jackson series) came out on Thursday.
