Folks will sometimes ask, "what's the one project you want to get into?" I say "Something like this" (in this video, it's Expedition 33). A complex, rich story with nuanced characters, progression, and heart.

Grateful for having been a part of many. 🙏❤️
Gotta work harder. 😤💪

I moved to bluesky because I saw the state of twitter around the election and understood I didn't feel safe there or comfortable actively engaging on a platform where my engagement would benefit large groups of people who use hatred as a weapon.

Those same people would call that "hiding." (cont'd)

A few firsts for me: Joining a game jam and voicing a character who is Mexican!

Grateful for the opportunity to voice Orion in “A Sunset Never Truly Fades”. Thank you to @norbezjones.bsky.social and the team for having me be a part of this heartfelt story.

It’s important to take breaks.

To find joy.

To rest & recover.

To check on the vulnerable people in your life who may not be coping well.

To show up for one another.

Refuse to normalize violence, hatred, eugenics, genocide and threats to human rights.

Refuse to leave people by the wayside

Our nervous systems weren’t designed for this level of threat day in & day out

We aren’t meant to see a video that graphic, let alone see it multiple times

We aren’t meant to normalize school shootings, threats to human rights & constant division

It’s destructive in ways we can’t even understand

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.

Continually study and expand your self-awareness.

Take classes. Because every workshop is an opportunity to explore an unknown side of you. To add to the archive of your self-awareness. It's an opportunity to revisit and fortify the sides of you that you already know as well. ❤️

I've made an updated and even more compact TL;DR on tricks for voicing children and why high-pitched != young.

The ingredient that's missing here is fully clicking into character-brain, but given that I was already in Presentation Mode (i.e. "Don't 'speak in cursive,' man")…I reckon that's alright.

Kept seeing so much hype about KPop Demon Hunters ever since it came out. Finally got a chance to watch it last night and YEAH, I TOTALLY GET IT NOW.

Just a reminder that someone else's success does not determine yours. Everything that's meant for you will come to you when the time is right.

Be patient, be kind to yourself, and keep putting in the work. Your wins are coming ❤️
