The sequence is decaying, and the decay rate is on the high side of average. So the probabilities of more aftershocks are dropping. In the next week, M4s are still certain, a couple of M5s are likely, but larger quakes are looking more improbable.
Additional VO tip, in light of news today: don’t make attempts to slide in on someone else’s spot. That’s a wild greasy maneuver. Respect their position, talent & integrity.
My mother just passed away. In her memory, if I could, I’d like to ask a favor.
Please call your mom. Tell her you love her. Thank her for everything.
If your relationship isn’t great with your mom, act towards everyone you love in the way you would have wanted to be treated.
So glad to see this on Netflix! This is still one of my all time career highlights - and the fact that we were all together for the recordings…man, I miss those days. If you haven’t seen it, you owe yourself -

On the “why did I get a refund” remark, I could hear the misplaced confidence in the wrongly perceived authority crumble under the weight of its own brittle arrogance
Today’s reminder: many people say stupid, arrogant and/or deliberately provocative petty shit on here. If you feel the adrenaline rush to respond, put the phone down, take a breath, have a glass of water, and remember not to let digital strangers control your emotions.
Honored to be a part of this incredible film! Huge thank you to

BELLE, the newest film from Mamoru Hosoda & Studio Chiba, in theaters nationwide 1/14!
The robots are evolving, and they can do flips now. Boston Dynamics released a new video showcasing its humanoid "Atlas" robot leaping over obstacles and lifting objects.
Growing up in the 80s, there was an existential dread that flowed sometimes low, sometimes high - with the potential for escalated global conflict.
This precipice of war we’re currently on exhumed that unsettling feeling.
Hoping for a peaceful resolution.
Note to my tech inclined friends: when assisting people with tech-related issues, remember it's as much about relieving anxiety as it is about the nuts & bolts nerdy shit. Judgment doesn't help, and people don't always speak fluent geek. Be solution oriented, but be kind too.
20 years ago today I lost a friend who was a first responder. He was hilariously funny, a serious hip hop head, and as generous as they come. Pausing today to pay tribute to him, and all the loved ones still deeply missed today.
First Mother’s Day without my mom. Tough, not gonna lie, and compounded by the current situation. Sending love & gratitude to all the moms, love to moms who can’t be close to their kids right now, and healing & peace to you and your mom if you don’t have a great relationship.
Very excited to be playing Mukaido in Platinum End! BTW, this is not too far off of how I usually look on the daily…huge thanks to
@SamFrishmanCESD
for always having my back!
Voiceover and music producer studio tip: introduce yourself & be gracious with everyone in the room. Besides the fact that it’s just good manners, you never know who you may be talking to.
If you’ve been blessed with excess this year, give. If you’re celebrating your wins this year, know the room. If you have a following, lead by example.
Around this time of year, my mom would always start pressing me about putting up an Xmas tree. “What’s the point”, I would say on the phone, rolling my eyes. It just seemed like extra work.
This year, I’m putting it up in her memory. Making amends while making new traditions.
Today’s VO tip: if you find yourself fortunate enough to be involved in a project that requires a strict NDA, obey it. If you don’t, you may no longer be involved in projects that require NDAs.
An incredible honor to be a part of

@ForestWhitaker
doing the voice (kinda like 2 Saw Gerreras in 1). Thank you
@Respawn
!
Incredibly grateful for another trip around the sun. Grateful for every blessing & grateful to be surrounded by family & friends with love.
And grateful for BBQ, which I will be getting later today
A huge honor to be a part of the Gundam universe! Huge thanks to

- I believe this was our first time working together!
A celebratory day for those who’ve benefited from the love, wisdom & guidance of their father.
Tough day for for those who now walk the journey without him there.
Even tougher for those who had to detach & remove themselves from toxicity.
Wherever you’re at, sending you love.
The Monkey King — an action-comedy executive produced by legendary filmmaker Stephen Chow and inspired by China's famous legend Journey to the West, the film features an all-Asian voice cast that includes Jimmy O. Yang, Bowen Yang, Jolie Hoang-Rappaport, and BD Wong.
If you know the lyrics to thousands of hip hop songs, and engage in intense debates over who’s the MC 🐐, but require elementary semantic breakdowns, diagrams & analogies of why “all lives matter” is trash, you should have a seat, and never be allowed to listen to hip hop again.
Sometimes a win is a big career milestone, or a financial windfall.
Sometimes a win is the simplest happiness.
Sometimes a win is not getting what you want.
Sometimes a win is a day without pain.
Celebrate them all. They’re all invaluable.
One of those moments that hits like a thunderclap: was thinking about how I would call my mother tomorrow to tell her I was okay during the heatwave, and remembering she’s gone.
Real shit tho: if you’re a VO, music or studio based person, don’t show up sick (and definitely don’t use the see-through “just allergies” line). Sessions can be rescheduled, and remote recording is possible. Don’t needlessly put other artists and independent contractors at risk.
I know AI technology is exciting, but if you see my voice or any of the characters that I voice offered on any of those sites, please know that I have not given my permission, and never will. This is highly unethical. We all appreciate your support. Thank you.
Don’t feel compelled to create a masterpiece, or feel anxiety at seeing what looks like a flood of creativity come out of other people.
Self care takes priority over everything. If you get the vibe, create. If you don’t, no judgment, no shame.
I will always
#MakeMineMarvel

- your heroes were superhuman in their abilities while being beautifully human in their lives. You, and they, made real world seem magical, that anything was possible. You will be dearly missed.

Fellow men: before uttering anything today, understand that the women you live with, work with and are friends with have experienced things you can never imagine, and never disclosed to anyone. Choose your words carefully, and do not commandeer the conversation.
If you’re fortunate enough to have your mom with you, show her love & gratitude.
If she’s returned to the essence, speak her name with love to the universe; she’ll hear it.
If you didn’t have the greatest relationship with your mom, heal by exemplifying what u wanted & needed.
Had to call EMS for an elderly neighbor living alone. Faintly heard her tapping on the walls asking for help, sounding extremely distressed. Hoping she’ll be okay.
Days like this in LA, I wonder why there hasn’t been a greater push for rooftop solar power to reduce stress on the grid, to say nothing of the additional benefit of being able to get power after an earthquake.
Since a loud ass neighbor decided to get drunk with friends & yell film critiques until 3am, today I will be sorting through several dozen folders of kick drum samples, subwoofer on
As stupid as it sounds, the real key to making art is finishing and moving on. Don’t let songs, scripts, novels, illustrations & ideas languish on your hard drive. Finish them (Mortal Kombat voice), share them and move fearlessly to the horizon
Celebration & love to dads everywhere.
Healing & love to all the strained relationships. May you both find peace & balance.
Condolences & love for dads no longer with us.
No matter what, it’s all love.

Before responding, since it’s been an intense week:
Breathe. Then,
Acknowledge if someone’s agreeing with you.
Remember you’re not obligated to respond to ignorance.
Know that self care is non-negotiable.
