Did you know that before I became a voice actor, I was a professional photographer? I've had a lot of downtime while recovering from surgery, so I rebuilt my portfolio site!

Where has Josh been?
Sorry I've been pretty absent lately. Truth is: I had to have diaphragm surgery. As you can expect, that makes VA pretty difficult right now. I'm on the mend, and can't wait to get back to work. Thanks so much to my clients who have been so understanding.

I've been pretty silent here the last few weeks as I've been dealing with a surgery (don't worry, I'm fine), but I wanted to wish all my fellow voice actors a happy #NationalVoiceActorsDay , and a big thank you to everyone who's trusted me with the voices of your characters!

"Sure, I'll split the files for free!" he said. The fool. The ABSOLUTE RUBE.

Voice actors:
What you think CD's say when hearing your audition: "BLECH! This is completely wrong! That other actor is way better. Pass!!"
What they actually say: "AMAZING! Why are there so many outstanding talents!? It's unfair I can only pick one."

Fun fact about Josh: I used to work in a Chinese fire circus! What's something interesting about your past? (or present!)

Luckily, my dog was built for snuggles and whining for help at the slightest inconvenience. 😂

Well well well, 5 days post release and it looks like it's time for #ASongforASwig mini showcases!

Did you know that by tweaking the ambience volume slider, you'll be able to hear extra bits of conversations even when Roedahn's focus shifts away from them and back to Berdios?

I've been quiet this month because I lost my car during the rainy picket. Being on the phone with insurance companies and not getting ripped off in the car sales process is hard even when you're not as autistic as I am. Please share it around and donate if you can!
