THANK YOU to

&
@pcbproductions
for your trust & guidance. What an honor it's been to watch this character's beautiful journey unfold 🪀🧸
Thank you all SO MUCH for the kind words I've been receiving. I feel extremely honored to bring Bridget to life, and I love the representation her character brings, but there's still a lot of work to be done here. More doors need to be opened for our trans peers.
Well friends, we did it. The third and (hopefully!) final surgery for my endometriosis. What an absolutely horrible disease… The past 3 years have been riddled with scans, tests, debilitating pain, and surgeries, so we had to pull out the big guns this time around.
I encourage and implore everyone to be aware of this need moving forward. Important information like a character's gender identity should not be left ambiguous or unstated at any point in the casting or recording process, to ensure that the right actors are being heard.

Since I’m all cooped up in recovery mode, dreaming of the day I’ll have human contact again — are there any upcoming conventions that could use some
#Bridget
love?? Tag a con and let me know! I’d love to meet you guys ☺️
I sometimes go months without booking anything new.
I wait tables 4 nights a week.
I fail to book like 97% of the auditions that I feel like I genuinely rocked.
KEEP GOING,

!! YOUR MOMENT IS COMING ✨🥰
On this day a year ago, "Free-form Tricky Spinner" Bridget was announced as a DLC playable character for Guilty Gear -Strive- at EVO 2022 and was subsequently released for the game. Bridget was the first character to have been released for the game's second season pass.
Hey!! I’ll be signing some autographs on JANUARY 21st, 12pm PST, on Instagram Live!

HAPPY LAUNCH DAY,

Feeling extra ✨transfixing✨ in this cozy Bridget hoodie. Go check out the rest of their Guilty Gear Strive line at .
Can confirm: it rocks!!!
I find that 1 week post-op is the most frustrating—I’m starting to look/feel normal again, but I still have so many limitations. Still can’t record any auditions bc my abdomen just isn’t strong enough yet, but very grateful for all the progress I’ve made so far 💕💪🏻

I’m so grateful to my doctors, who listened to me and took my pain seriously enough to let me make this decision about my own body.
Endometriosis is notoriously overlooked. Sometimes you have to fight really hard to get the care you need for this disease, and it’s not fair.
This little skrunkly is still rent-free in my head even 26 days after she appeared in my life.
I'm so glad Bridget Guilty Gear exists, she means too much to me.
I had a partial hysterectomy, meaning we kept the uterus but removed the ovaries. By doing this, we’re stopping my hormone production, which is what causes the disease to grow in the first place. This isn’t always necessary for treating endo— I just have a very severe case 🫤

IN TORRANCE, CA ON APRIL 8th!!! Baby's first con appearance 😭 Can't wait to join the fun! Stop by and say hello if you'd like – I shall entice you with signed prints and adorable chibi stickers.... mwahaha 😈
✨I'M GOING TO
@anifestcon
ON SATURDAY!!!✨
It'll be my first ever con... and I'm a little nervous?? But I also can't wait to see everyone there 😊 I'm still a novice con-goer, but I will be selling prints and stickers at my table D05, so stop by and say hi! ❤️

Kelly has been performing since childhood, but she never thought about incorporating her l...
I get nervous for sessions all the time. I think I’m going to choke as soon as I open my mouth in front of the mic. But I continue to surprise myself that my prep work and hard earned abilities carry me through every time. Have faith in yourself. You’re meant to be here.
🎤❤️🎤
I don't sing as much these days as I used to (and when I do, I rarely share it), but sometimes it's nice just to remind myself that I do, in fact, have a degree in music 😭
Hey
#VoiceActors
& Gearheads! I need help! After 4 years with a sad little USB mic, I am FINALLY upgrading. Top contenders are:
Austrian Audio OC16
Shure KSM32
Warm Audio WA-47JR
AKG C214
Anyone have any experience with these? Any particularly good for mid-high female voices?
I remember seeing Midori’s art work for the first time during my session and being completely OBSESSED with her! The artists for this game are truly next level 🔥🔥
NMH3 brought in a handful of artists from various fields to contribute character designs. Henry was designed by
@TakDusk
, artist for The Silver Case. NT Kamui and Midori were designed by manga artist
@asano_inio
. Kimmy Love was designed by Bayonetta artist
@MariShimazaki
.
First of all,
@TheRedUsagiVO
is crazy talented and everyone should go to them for all your artistic needs ❤️
Second of all… HOW CUTE IS BRIDGET?? These stickers will be available soon…perhaps even…… at a con…. 👀👀

I’m begging of you, please give this a read 🧵
Waiting tables a few nights a week is honestly the best financial move I’ve ever made! Also takes the pressure off my auditions, and feeling like I NEED to book something so I can pay rent that month.
Sort of on topic: Dayjob shaming in this industry is honestly so ridiculous, because I cannot think of a single actor who never needed one. Some people will for a long time. Some people will, then won't. Some people will, then won't, then will again.
The funniest thing about having a sister who is a successful voice actor, is that sometimes when you ask her to hang out, she’s like “sorry I can’t, I’m not talking this weekend” and it’s just normal

can now cherish this meticulously crafted replica, bringing Bridget's loyal battle companion to life in stunning detail.
- 13 scars on my belly from all my endo surgeries!
- Green eyes even though everyone in my immediate fam has dark brown.
- Fractured my wrist as a kid, but didn’t want to be a bother and say anything about it so it never healed properly and still gives me trouble to this day 🙃
What are some interesting facts about your body?
- The ~3lbs of metal in my spine just turned 7!
- My cricothyroid ligaments are overly lax, which can cause vocal fatigue
- I likely had depth perception very briefly—but my brain made my vision monocular so it wouldn’t be doubled
Started VO mid-2018. Signed with my agency within a year.
Booked NMH3 a month later. Booked Spidey 3 months after that.
Booked Epic 7 in 2020, [NDA project] in 2021, Guilty Gear in 2022. Each of those gigs had nearly YEAR LONG dry spells between them. Literally crickets.
Started VO in late 2017
Didn't book until late 2018
Booked my first indie game in 2020
Booked my first studio gig in 2022
Got my first agent THIS. YEAR.
Still haven't booked any major character in anime or animation
I've wanted to quit so many times, but I kept going
I really like that Hive puts our zodiac signs on display because I feel like people deserve a disclaimer about my excessive virgo-ness before interacting with me lol

Well the good news is that you don’t have to play this game! There are plenty others you can retreat to if you are unable to tolerate the content in this one.

thrown in there for funsies, while supplies last 👀
just finished recovering from my second endo-related surgery. had an ovary removed and dozens of little lesions all around my bowels, but i am now pain-free 🙏 i'm glad to see so many people bringing more attention to this horrible disease.
Coming soon: Marvel's "Spidey and his Amazing Friends" on Disney Junior! I'm voicing everyone's fave eight-limbed super villain, Doc Ock 😎 *insert evil laugh here*
Whether you have a slow start or a fast one, dry spells happen to everyone. Doesn't matter what your resumé looks like.
It's okay! It's normal! It's out of your control!
Keep goin' ❤️
