Don't fall for a carrot dangle. There's never a carrot. If there was, they'd have a carrot.

Remember voice actors, you're worth being paid for your work and time, don't fall into the trap of giving work out for free just to get a chance at future work

You deserve to be paid, for your time, your energy, your skills, everything

Don't undervalue yourself ❤️

We are more than our perceived “shortcomings.”

More than what people find inconvenient about us.

More than what annoyed our grade school teachers.

So. Much. More.

Important:

I have started scoring each time Pepper stretches when I pick him up on a 3 point rubric.

Yawn = 1 point
Back beans toe flare = 1 point
Front arms going like this \o/ = 1 point

Happy to report I got a tasty 3 pointer this evening

Cannot vouch enough for Marin’s coaching! Honest but supportive, helps you pinpoint what you need to create a performance you can be proud of!

More than that, recognizing what performances make me feel DISEMPOWERED helps me identify what makes me feel EMPOWERED. I would not have started pursuing non-binary roles if I had not accepted that certain performances of femininity put me at a DISADVANTAGE.

Am I a "bad actor" because I don't want to perform characters I don't do well?

NO! I'm an actor who knows themselves and what they bring to the table--and I'm damn good at it. It is precisely the strength of that perspective that makes me so present when reading.

Marin M. Miller @marinmmiller.com · 7d

I am not the actor that can do everything, and I have no interest in it. I'm a speciality piece, for specific perspectives--some male, some female, mostly non-binary. I shine in finding humor in situations that would rip most others in half, and am interested in telling stories about perseverance.

"Labels" can work as shorthand to expeditiously communicate what you are. But they're only as useful as they are relevant to you. You are not beholden to any label.

If-- at any point-- a label no longer represents you? That's fine! Don't be afraid of change.

Nobody can define what you are but you.

The best localization will completely immerse you in what you're watching. It is my goal to blend with the final product so well you won't even notice, while making the script clean for work in all stages of post-production. People often only focus on "bad" dubs. Let em know if you hear 1 you like!

Thank you so much to those of you who watched CITY: The Animation on Amazon Prime as it was airing. If you enjoyed the dub, please make sure to send in feedback and let them know. These scripts required a lot of work, and the team knocked it out of the park! But often our work gets glossed over.

Marin M. Miller @marinmmiller.com · Jul 9

My latest work as an English script adapter on Amazon Prime is City The Animation! I took the odd episodes for this one. It's always a pleasure to tackle the challenge of comedies and sit back to watch when it's all done. Hope you enjoy, and if you like the adaptation, send em some nice feedback? 😘
