Voice Acting

After getting fired for bullshit reasons, I decided to check out this forum for any roles for voice acting for a video or even audio play. Since I am an avid fan of theater and the arts, I auditioned for a role here and there and gotten selected for the role. So far I've been casted in a few roles not too much because there isn't that much original productions. All the site has is fandubs which is not me because someone else is already voicing that character. It's like if I was cast as Homer Simpson, I do the voice great....but there is someone else who does the voice. Besides, I like to bring life into this new character, give him direction and meaning in that universe.

I use a stage name yes and I have a quick site to update stuff on:

So whenever I get a chance I update the site with my roles and hopefully I can get a demo reel up once I have a selection of voices to choose from. I like anime voice acting, I like video game voice acting, it looks like a fun job and you get to meet a lot of screaming fans. So hopefully this will become a career one day. As far as video games go, I am still writing a basic skeleton for my story I hope gets to be made one day. That combined with voice acting, it should provide me with a lot of work in the future. Ugh, if only I could get steady work now. But now that I'm off I can focus on the things that make me happy and enjoy life now. Even for a short while but some times after putting in years of work, you need that month or 2 off to stop and reflect with friend and family.

So I am cast as a pirate in Hook, A Halo 3 Machinima and I love everything about the role except that they modulate my voice to sound a bit slower. Well he is a dumb uneducated pirate lol. Was glad to audition and have no regrets. Check it the 1st episode here and follow through. We have 2 more episodes and a Thanksgiving special that wasn't so good. So far we average around 10,000 views on youtube, hopefully we can get another 10,000.

New Years has past and I want to wish all a very happy new year, just wondering to say two thousand and ten or twenty ten....I like twenty ten more, sounds better, sounds epic.
