BIPOC and underrepresented people have every right to be absolutely frustrated, heart-broken, and down right ANGRY when we’re denied spaces and opportunities to just exist, let alone thrive.
What sucks is that it is continuously happening.
Everyday. 🧵(1/7)
Our own personal sense of justice should not come at the expense of someone else’s safety and well-being. Attacking people just because they don’t fit YOUR standard of justice is NOT FAIR NOR RIGHT. Instead, show love & compassion in the face of fear & helplessness. Not this.
‼️LIVE ACTION ADR DEBUT‼️
I had the inconceivable honor to be the English dub voice for Anmai Mus, a young, scrappy, hungry, & foul-mouthed girl played by Melina Hagberg, in the Danish film THE PROMISED LAND!
Thank you
@Cryshulvo
,
@steveracercom
, &
@MagnoliaPics
for everything!
It just takes one.
One day.
One job.
One opportunity.
One more push to get everything you ever wanted, needed.
One more push for the unexpected to come along.
You are going so far.
Embrace that. Push on. The one is coming.
To be successful, you have to FAIL.
A lot.
Because FAILURE begets feedback, which you can use to inform your path moving forward.
Success doesn’t teach you. It doesn’t prompt you to take different approaches.
But failure does.
So be okay with failure and learn from it.

This film was a turning point in my career. I was new, green. I had so many doubts about whether I was good enough to do anything like this. But amazing people like Anthony believed in me. We ended our session with immense joy & pride in our work. Thank you for changing my life!
I'm thrilled, humbled, and immensely grateful to have had the opportunity to direct the English Dub of "The Promised Land." Thank you so much to everyone who lent their talent! I finally had the chance to watch it, and no words can express how proud I am with the end product.

Not one, but TWO animated films I voice in will be featured in the
@CalArts
Producers’ Show!
• “Amon” by Justine King (voice of “Amon”)
• “Testimony” by Su Min Han (voice of “Young Emile”)
Hugest congratulations to them!!🥳
Allyship.
Even if you don’t identify with certain communities, strive to LEARN, TAKE A STEP BACK, & GIVE THEM THE FLOOR.
Amplify underrepresented voices. PERIOD.
Intolerance & hate will NOT be tolerated.
When you stand back for others to step forward, you stand for justice.
🎶I’m a Honky-Tonk Woman!🧞♂️
I voice Jeannie (NOT Jennie! Jeannie, like Genie from I Dream of Jeannie!), Amoreena's passionate, righteous, non-copyright-infringing daughter in the audio series “Songs from the East Coast" by

People pay attention when YOU pay attention.
When you actively engage with your community and make meaningful connections, people notice.
When you comment, send a DM, or write thoughtful thank you notes, people notice.
Engage with the world, and it will engage back.
Hey, just wanted to let you know that your warmth, passion, & professional DO stick with people.
Even on days in which you feel useless, hopeless, & talentless, people notice kindness, generosity, & commitment to your craft.
So stay passionate, professional, & kind. 💜
You only get good at the things you practice frequently.
This includes hard skills AND soft skills.
Whether it’s new workouts, sections of music, voices/types of reads, communication skills, kindness, empathy, etc.
Practice makes competence makes confidence.
Go practice.

Link to the full film below!🔗⬇️
Being humble in a loud, opinionated, & narcissistic industry can be difficult but ultimately very rewarding.
You don’t have to speak out about every issue, especially if you don’t know all the context.
Know when AND when not to speak.
Either way, you will be heard.
There are so many people quietly just DOING THE WORK. I see you, your effort, your success, and it makes me so damn happy for you. Not everyone shouts their success on socials, so whether you celebrate wins out loud or quietly, it's all good.

Your opinion is NOT your identity.
Just because someone has a differing opinion to yours does NOT mean they are attacking your character.
Separating opinion from identity requires an open mind.
Aim to RESPOND with intelligence and maturity over REACTING with raw emotion.
Magical Girl shows literally TRANSFORMED me as young Filipino-Spanish girl who rejected femininity growing up.
Heroines like Usagi, Sakura, & Marinette taught me vulnerability, empathy, & kindness are NOT weaknesses but our greatest strengths.
We NEED more icons like them.
Real growth is learning to take the L and forgoing several auditions because you will be on vacation when they are due and couldn’t bust them out in time.

Do the work that’s already on the table first.
Whether it’s assignments, gigs, games, whatever—finish those first before committing to something new.
Of course, you can have things in rotation to break up the monotony, but adhere to deadlines as best you can. 🧵(1/3)
How VO changed me:
I’ve worked on projects I never thought I’d ever have the opportunity to.
I’ve met individuals who expanded my perspectives & reminded me that kindness means everything.
I’ve lived countless lives through this work, and I cannot wait to live countless more!
When you focus on putting out things you love into the world, that love & passion will resonate with people and be reciprocated back to you, often in unexpected ways.
Your work will reach the people it needs to reach.
Just give it time.
Do what you love.
2024 is the year I spend time & money on what I want.
I’m traveling all over the world.
I’m investing in classes, coaching, & materials.
I’m prioritizing myself, my friends, & my family.
I’m spending money on EXPERIENCES & things that will help me grow.
THAT’S what I want.

Diversity is NOT a threat.
Honestly it shouldn’t even be considered anything special; it should just BE (i.e., normalized).
But ultimately it presents opportunities to explore perspectives outside your own.
Expand your worldview. And play some wicked ass games.

Ok, yes, I was on this project, too. I loved my girl Akari dearly, along with the community, but the creator’s behavior was downright unacceptable and harmful. I hope the creator seeks the help & support they deserve, but they have to realize how much harm this caused. Do better.
Help lmao just found out that a project I was a part of that got cancelled and shut down incredibly dramatically because the creator had died… is now back, and it appears that it’s because the creator… faked their death? 🧍🏻♀️💀

People can tell when you have fun.
Because fun indicates passion, and passion resonates with people.
When a piece resonates with you, it will resonate with someone else.
We wouldn’t be working on projects if we didn’t believe in them.
Even with projects we’re obligated to work on just to survive, a small part of us MUST believe it’ll work out.
Believe in the vision. Believe in the craft. Believe in yourself.

It’s
#FilipinoAmericanHistoryMonth
🇵🇭
As FilAms continue to fight against systems of oppression - both here and in the motherland - in solidarity with our black, brown & indigenous siblings, let me kick off the month with this reminder:
How many times do I have to say WE DESERVE BETTER?
We’re in a very poignant point in history, for all the wrong reasons.
Anger & fatigue are not enough.
Change & action are critical for our survival.
This is not over. Keep fighting.
