If I can be upset about one thing in particular is the fact that I didn’t get to see the solar eclipses on both October 14 and April 8 because it was motherfucking cloudy on both fucking days.

Another thing, Native American's come in all skin tones. Just because they don't fit your view doesn't make them any less native. They are all valid regardless on how they look.

Native voices deserve to be on the stage as much as anyone. Especially when it comes to telling their stories!

Just because I momentarily stopped working on VO doesn't make me or you any less of a Voice Actor.
It's okay to take breaks. It's okay to rest.

You can do it. It may be hard but your got to push through it. Remember, anything worth doing is hard.

If you want it. Get it but expect a challenge. Expect to be beaten down. As long as your get back up. You can do anything.

View each individual person for who they are, not for who you think they are. It takes a lot of empathy, strength, and bravery to jump into the unknown and come to learn walks of life you've never experienced.

Dude. No matter how much I try, I cannot bring myself to play Genshin Impact again. I just cannot be bothered to play this game. I always dread playing the game.
I try to enjoy myself but I just can't with it...

hahahahaha FUCK OFF -Turns this shit off-

I'm not giving you permission to take my voice and make an AI track of it just to make it speak different languages.

I suggest everyone else do the same and just hire humans to translate and voice over instead of this crap.

If I had a nickle for every time I voice a curly haired Hispanic/Latino character I'd have 4 nickles. Which isn't a lot but its weird it happened four times.

I can only speak from my own experiences but I want to say that.
Hate and spite if focused and concentrated to your own ambitions, can either make you unstoppable or... will take over and destroy you.

It's official. The SAG strike is finally over. It took an entire year but now VAs have the AI protections they sought. This is a huge victory. Do not let anyone who isn't in the industry tell you otherwise.

I'll say this I've haven't been doing alright this past week. Stress is getting me and I want to ask for help but I am afraid a lot of people are very busy.

In turn I feel I am on my own for the most part.
