Happy birthday, my special little guy. I'm so grateful to be voicing you as you bumble through life with the grace and glam of a peacock holding a caramel frappuccino.
Happy Birthday, Kaveh!

Imagine living with an insufferable roommate that believes they're faultless in every way. Huge thanks to
@darkavey
for not only making an amazing duo print, but for capturing my good side and making me look better than my roommate.

Seeing this tweet is one of those "Wow. I'm doing it. That's me." moments that make grateful to be doing this job. I'll make a sappier post when Kaveh's banner is live (Yes, I'll also bless all the Kaveh Wanter pulls then), but for now: thank you for the love, all of you.
ope it's a few hours until kaveh releases for the asia servers so let's just do this now:
โจKAVEH WANTERS AROUND THE WORLD, I BLESS YOUR PULLS USING ALL THE POWER I HAVE. MAY YOU BECOME KAVEH HAVERS OF THE HIGHEST CONSTELLATIONS. BRING HIM HOME GAMERSโจ
The Version 3.6 "A Parade of Providence" Preview page is here!

Joy and sorrow are constant companions to life, and the endless flow of history's long river runs ever unceasing.

you guys need to understand that nazeeh is a very dear friend and being able to play opposite him was one of the biggest reasons why i love this role so much. without him i'd still be a nervous wreck about doing a good job with kaveh. any love you show me, show him doubly so
"What's with all the noise? Oh... you made it home. Congrats... rent's due."
Please show
@benbevoicing
some love! Couldn't have asked for this to have happen to a better person. To say I'm proud of him is an understatement. The roommate is finally here ๐... now keep it down ;)
para todos los chilenos nuevos que me han seguido y/o felicitado:
les mando miles de gracias, les agradezco muchรญsimo y les prometo que cuando empiezo a stremear mi propio gameplay de genshin, en algรบn momento voy a decir "ctm weon" en la voz de kaveh
hey y'all. unfortunately the worst case scenario for my visa stuff has come to pass, so streams and pretty much anything else that require me to be at home are on indefinite hold. will update when i know more
It has recently come to my attention that someone has been impersonating me in order to teach classes. I have never taught a class, nor do I have any intention to. I have never given anyone my blessing to teach a class on my behalf.
More info in the thread:
OK CHIQUILLOS AHORA SI, EL PRรXIMO MARTES VAMOS A JUGAR keep talking and nobody explodes EXCLUSIVAMENTE EN ESPAรOL
to those of you that speak english only, lo siento
Next Tuesday.
@benbevoicing
and I will be playing
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes! In Spanish. ONLY Spanish. So better brush up on it!
Te vemos el Martes ๐ซก
SICK! WICKED SICK!!!
I am UNBELIEVABLY HONORED to announce I'm voicing Andy in Undead Unluck!!! This series has straight up become my favorite Shonen Jump manga of all time, so being a part of the anime has been a dream come true! Dub premieres DECEMBER 13th on Hulu and Disney+!
Huge thanks to the incredibly talented
@Vinetsuuw
for this gorgeous Kaveh print!!! I asked her to capture Kaveh's babygirl energy and she absolutely delivered in my opinion! Please give her other works a look!
oh speaking of art NEW PRINT TIME, GAMERS
Feast your eyes on this absolutely stellar print by the incredibly talented
@HellyonWhite
!!! I'll be selling it at cons/other places where print stuff happens VERY soon so WATCH OUT
and yes it does match with that other guy's print
I am BEYOND HONORED to announce I'm voicing Neku Sakuraba in
@Funimation
's dub of The World Ends With You: The Animation! This is a dream come true for me as TWEWY is one of my favorite games ever. HUGE thanks to
@KylePhillipsFun
for making it happen!
BACK HOME FROM WINDBLUME!!!
I had an absolutely wonderful time, meet some truly great people and received so much love from the community. Thank you ALL so, so much for letting me partake in this lovely event, I'll carry fond memories of this one with me for a long, long time.
update: thank you all so much for all the kind words yesterday, it really meant a lot to me and helped me pull myself together!! i'm currently fighting very hard to get back into the US, hopefully on monday i'll have more news. i appreciate you all so much!!!

BACK FROM ANIME IMPULSE! (actually i got home like 6 hours ago but ive been in potato mode since)
This con was an absolute BLAST, loved meeting so many cool people, receiving so many lovely gifts and doing some rad panels. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hi!!!
This hack/exploit (Using Kaveh of all characters) going on in-game feels quite serious. CN players are advising each other to not co-op with random players until Hoyoverse announces a fix.
(ICYMI, this hack enables others to delete in-game assets in your world PERMANENTLY)
big shoutouts to
@nya_Deko
for sending me a lovely lil' package full of kaveh and 4ggravate goodies!!! this arrived right on time to help the decorating on my new room heeho
i'm currently on a flight back to chile for the holidays so i missed the exact moment it happened but HOLY HELL THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR 50K FOLLOWERS!!! i'm deeply grateful to all of you for sticking around and watching me bumble through things!!!
For the first time ever, you can catch
@NazeehTarsha

Join us at Windblume hosted by

! Taking place August 25-27 at the Embassy Suites in Frisco, Texas.
Can't wait to see y'all there!
seeing several people repeating a lot of the jokery i've said on my streams as fact regarding that one guy's lore and characterization so a quick reminder: nothing i say is remotely canon, it's all Japes, please don't cite me as a source on things. let's just take it easy, gamers
hey so if you guys want me to show up at cons as a guest, let the cons know! voice actors operate on vampire rules, they need to be invited to places to show up so tell your local cons "hey you should invite that ben guy from the internet! no, the chilean ben, balmasomething"
SUPER EXCITED to be voicing ZOHAKUTEN in the latest episode of Demon Slayer's English dub! This show is RAD so I'm really hyped to be a part of it! Big thanks

As more information about this individual has been made known to me, I suppose I should make this known: Under no circumstances should you engage with Charles Maddox Morton (aka Chaguro or ChaguroVA). He is a compulsive liar and I'm not the first person he's done this to.

update 3: some more bullshit happened and now monday is when i'll find out if i can go home or not.
not a big fan of the current events that are occurring
After one last bout of plane flights, I'm finally back home in LA. To everyone who cheered me on during these tumultuous couple of weeks: thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Your support made this mess so much easier to navigate, and I'm eternally grateful to all of you.
Thanks for stopping by for the steam everyone! We had a lot of laughs and learned a lot of valuable lessons about the world.
I think Twitch deletes VODs after a while so I made a two-part highlight copy of the stream RIGHT HERE

On most days, I'm my own worst critic. But on some days, I actually feel decent about myself.
Not my usual post, but every once in a while, a moment of vulnerability breaks through. Still learning to be kinder to myself.
Have a great weekend.
