Apologies for tagging myself in here, but the discord server wants a "very specific" answer and then throws an error if it's apparently too long. What are the odds this queerdo could get connected via DM or figure out some way to get on the server even though my answer doesn't fit?

I'd be happy to throw my proverbial hat in the ring. Just let us know how and when to audition!

*heavy sigh*

Overall not surprising, but more surprising than most Dems.

That's all. I'll probably continue to be pretty quiet here. But be well and may the layoff gremlins never bother you. Picture for the almighty algo and as pet tax.

(Being a realist, I also appreciate any assistance finding things, ideally helping me out of the US, in terms of a more traditional job. My background in education and work is multivariate, so ask if you need more details there)

My dream is to stay in video games (now w/ VO), and I know that's probably the hardest to break into. For my fellow game industry famsquad, let me know if you're or someone you know is looking for vocal talent? Of course, any leads in Commercial, Audiobooks, Narration, or Animation are awesome too!

I've got no illusions - trying to get started, let alone make a FT thing of it, is a multiyear process normally, and I'm trying to speedrun it. I'm taking classes, in workshops, and starting work with a coach soon. Cross your fingies for me?

But I may as well ask the following:

Worked, yep, I've been laid off too.

I'm trying to not let this be as much of a downer as it is (I have bills to pay and all that jazz, after all) by trying to see the opportunity presented. I've wanted to make a go of voice acting for quite some time but never had the spare time or energy.

That's the opposite of a "like" I just gave you. More of a "I get it" and/or "same". Hugs

need hrt that turns me into a tiefling or similar fae/ demon immediately

Right? I feel like maybe I'm over-analyzing here, but it almost feels like this is intended to like... Other folks via fake incision? "He or she or they" is just clunky and stupid. Aren't professional writers supposed to be better than that?

Oof. Sure seems like Rodrigo there ain't advocating for us at all.

But now I have. It's gross how pernicious it is - I want nothing to do with the app and the hellscape within it, but it still... "Hurt"(?)/felt bad(?) to do.

Whatever, I did the thing

Ugh I should do it but I just haven't.
