Seeing them as a role model is completely fine actually.
Being supportive is completely fine.
Putting them in a pedestal like they are above being human is not okay.

"wants you to pay money to go see his new movie"
Bruh, Thats how movies work no matter the actor or movie lol
These comments are entertaning though
So today I find out a coworker was into anime.
I tell him Im a voice actor.
He's then goes on a a rant about how dub has no emotion and doesn't need to change lines from the Japanese sub.
He then says "bro just quit. Dub sucks."
Dude was chill before. He lost points with me
Voice actors.
I'm gonna make a list of people who want to do hobby work, fan projects, and passion projects and low budget projects to help out content creators.
Leave your info in the comments along with a demo if you have it.
Look. I get wanting to be more careful of public figures who are Zionist.
But for the love of fuck, DON'T fucking accuse people using flimsy at best evidence. Cuz there is a possibility you're wrong and harassed someone who did nothing wrong.
Yo

with less than 1000 followers, share your demos below. Or if you donβt have one share and example of your work.
Tis the season of giving, letβs help each other grow and network.
Donβt go into voice acting thinking youβre gonna get famous right off the bat.
Some get bigger faster than others, we all have our own journeys.
Also donβt go into it if your just looking for money, do it because you love it, because there are many times when you rake it in
So...people are saying this sonic movie is gonna be a franchise killer.... hmmm....didnβt stop Mario, didnβt stop Dragon Ball, didnβt stop street fighter, didnβt atop resident evil.
Why is the sonic movie the one thing thatβs gonna kill an entire franchise? Thatβs stupid
News flash to those younger than 30
Your life DOES NOT stop in your 30s.
You do NOT need to give up hobbies you enjoy.
Watch anime, Play video games, skateboard. All of it.
I'm 32. I voice act anime and cartoon styled characters.
The only way life stops is if you stop it
Voice acting while having ADHD is hard
One minute you'll wanna record.
The next? You're sitting there playing games instead.
Your brain screaming at you to do things
But also stopping you from doing said things.
Making you feel awful.
Our brains are our own worst enemies.
So I saw a video the other day saying you can't be a voice actor with a USB mic.
Yes you can.
Voice acting isn't just huge commercials, anime or AAA games.
Indie devs, small animators, small companies all need it as well and almost all are okay with USB.
I hate the stigma
Donβt befriend your fellow VAs just to later throw them away because you got to the one you wanted to be friends with to use for clout.
Actually, donβt do that in general. People arenβt your stepping stones.
Iβve had this happen before, itβs a shitty feeling. Donβt be that guy
Yo voice actors. You donβt have to constantly post about voice acting, talk about other things you love, post some memes, show people the real you behind the mic.
You also donβt have to post constantly. Work at your own pace. Post at your own pace. Everythingβs gonna be okay
Sooo I just got some awesome news.
I was approached by
@AwesomeFoxStud1
And i'll be the
#voiceactor
of Hiiro in thier game called Hiiro ro Hero!
Its gonna be a 2D game in the style of Megaman ZX
I love game like that, And now I get to voice IN one! I'm super excited!
Directors... PLEASE give you VAs context for they're recording.
People will notice when a line is lacking or sounds weird
You won't get a great performance if your VAs don't know the context
Folks If you're gonna be a voice actor i'm gonna say this
Get used to rejection
Get used to rejection emails or just pure silence
But do not let that stop you if you truly want to do it
One rejection now could lead to a role down the road. It has for me.
keep going
I was told to quit voice acting because of my limited range.
Here we are a few years later, Iβm a lead in a video game, Iβm in two animation series, a multimedia character, another game.
And thatβs just since mid 2019. And Iβve been at it since 2011.
Keep goin. You got this
It's okay to make friends.
Hell in this community its encouraged.
But two things
1. Do not FORCE friendship. Let it happen naturally. Talk to the person. Get to know them
2. Do not befriend someone just for connections or because you think they can help you with your career
Am I one of the only people who is cool with rejection emails?
To me that lets me know they actually listened to what I sent and cared enough to contact me.
That means i'm on their radar now. Which can lead to even more things in the future.
Thats just me.
I'm gonna put this out there.
Not everyone you see being positive on here is fake or doing it just to get interactions.
There are genuine people. Just as there are fake people.
For many of us, Who you see on the internet is the person you would meet IRL.
That goes both ways
Folks if you wanna start voice acting then just do it.
I started out with and still do fan content. Including making my own. No acting background, No classes. I just did it. And i think im doing okay. You dont need a demo till later on.
There is no one way to start.
as of late Iβve been seeing love for only two specific VAβs, and they do deserve said love
But Iβm seeing a lot of people feeling left out or alienated.
So letβs spread some alittle more evenly
Shout out someone you love or admire in the community. Cause all of you are amazing
@genemaxwell41
What a terrible take.
She didnβt ask for her number to be put out there, random ass people Dox popular people all the time.
Also.....young millennial? Dude most millennials grew up with phonebooks.
You donβt have a voice for VAing?thatβs wrong.
Everyone has a unique voice. Even you.
The range comes with practice. The acting comes with practice.
If you wanna do it go for it!
I started out with zero talent. And now here I am. Also take classes if you can.
@D4N13l101
I mean this doesnt have to do with that.
Shit like this was gonna happen regardless because companies love to penny pinch any way they can while trying to make the most profit.
Stuffs been happening since before the whole localizer thing
@gotbannedx3
@paperbackofeli
Bro some of them donβt shower all weekend cause they keep going and going
It sometimes feels like going through a fish market.but worse
Guys. Can we not treat new VAs like children please?
We were all new at one point. And Iβve seen a few people insulting newbies.
Donβt insult, help them learn and grow.
Thatβs what I do
Criticism is important. As voice actors and content creators were always trying to get better. Sometimes we need constructive criticism. If someone tells you POLITELY that theyβve found things wrong hear them out and use that to improve. Donβt just toss it away.
Friendship doesn't mean talking all the time or hanging out every day.
If they're there for you when you need it and vise versa, if you guys can go months or even years without talking but talk again and it feels like no time has passed... that's friendship.
So, friendos, I really really need help,
I need to be out of this apartment by September, which means my move to Texas needs to happen.
Please help share this around. Or commission me.
I need to make this move happen.

We need remote recording to come back. So many people cannot move to bigger cities or new states for a multitude of reasons.
We all deserve a fair chance.
I may have moved to Dallas in d and plan to return next year, but it was by the skin of my teeth.
Not everyone can do so
Anime and game fans.
Lemme say this.
The voice actors are not the characters they voice. Just because someone records a character doing bad things does not mean that reflects on the actors personality. Some of you need to learn to seperate the actor from the character
No, but if a variety of a voice actor's role is just them speaking in same-voice everytime, that's not a good "actor" just someone with a nice voice, and this is the sane standard that's been applied to actors as well. "Just being you" isn't what makes a good actor, simply put.
Calling out problematic behavior isnβt drama. Drama is petty stuff like fighting over mics. Calling it drama is downplaying the people who have been hurt.
Thatβs the last thing Iβm gonna say on whatβs transpired the past couple days,
You know whatβs great about creating your own content?
create whatever you want and voice what you want
Havenβt gotten any roles? Make βem yourself until something does land. Itβs good practice not just voice acting. audio and sound design and video editing, also directing
Okay no, This is NOT what were gonna do
I HATE when people say crap like this, I already know im not as good as they are.
Then you link THIER VIDEO ON MY MINE.
I have friends in Adrenaline dubs, This isnt a competition. Fuck
So fellow VAs.
How do you feel about DMs from other VAs and fans that arent buisness related?
Personally i lke getting DMs. Its how you make friends usually.
What do you feel though?

VA tip
Range is important but remember so is your ACTING
The first thing you should work on is your acting before range. Because if you have a limited range but can still make the viewer feel things youβre for sure gonna get stuff
