When a song comes together *exactly* as you hoped, life is good! THANK YOU, @miapaigeva.bsky.social, for the great vocals and to @dreamarcstudios.bsky.social for including the recording in your upcoming work and promo.
* Watch for "(When We) Daydream" on all streaming services in the near future *

Had the huge pleasure last week of working on a new song with @miapaigeva.bsky.social. This anxiety to have it heard actually feels good!!!
🥰
Great Job, Mia. TYSM!

Thank you! :)

Can I hear from any #voiceactor capable of performing as a young boy? An original, family-friendly, animated pilot I'm involved with needs reels, and I'm vetting out talent.

Our second year - submit a short you've contributed to & give it a chance to win!
Free to enter, open until Sep 30th.

Had the rare opportunity today to 'direct' (...if only between multiple laughing fits...) Mr. @georgeledouxvo.bsky.social. Can't wait to share what that was all about. :)

(TY George - always a huge pleasure.)

Not saying I'm biased... :)
But really! If you like classic country, check this out:
"Our #EarshotSongOfTheDay is 'This Is Lonely' by Marlene Leeson. No other genre better expresses how to move on from loss like a stirring, classic country performance can.

Good reels, sir. :)

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!

Yippee.

Got some helpful tips for you...

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.

Trans VA Discord Interest Form

If you're a trans voice actor and want to join a discord server for trans voice actors, fill out this (very very quick) form and I will email you an invite!

I'm not gatekeeping the definition of "trans" or "voice actor" - if you call yourself a trans VA, you're welcome!

1K to 1, I'd say.

Thriving in transparency. lol

Each moment of accepting ourselves is it's own chapter. ;)

(...something something something, or appendix... the paper kind...I mean...)

Flipping a lot of free time into something positive - back to working on my next release... probably an EP. Feels good!

Hey there voice actor community! It's been awhile since we've done this, but we'll be rockin our weekend looking over your websites and demo reels. If you've made big changes or released new stuff over the past 6 months then drop a reply and link here so we don't miss it!

She stands before a blood-red moon, with looming city spires in the background. Stylized laurel leaves frame the sides of the image in stark teal. The text reads “SCARLETT: RELIQUARY OF SOULS – KICKSTARTER,” with a subheading: “LISTENER – $15. Early, ad-free access to episodes + digital wallpaper + digital thank-you card.”

They called her Scarlett.
They called you Listener.

Thrilled to see Mongrel V1 released! To voice multiple roles in this very quirky, funny game was a dream!

Thanks to the crew! And CONGRATZ!

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. 😅

That a dare? ;)

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.

I'm just perfectly chuffed to be doing voice treatment & editing for #SubtleBravado studios' game #SCPValravn. A definite project to watch for! :)
