Howdy, folks! The name's Tay. I'm a software engineer by day, voice actor & streamer by night! My voice can be heard in over a dozen audiodramas, and I'm currently looking to expand into video game roles.

My demo reel, personal audiodrama projects, and music can be found linked in my bio! ✨

Fun fact! When I was first contacted about this all I knew was @totcocoa.bsky.social wrote it and @taytayheyheyva.bsky.social was doing the sound design. I said yes based on that alone without any follow up questions. 😂

I listened to @totcocoa.bsky.social 's episode of SDITE — and not to toot my own horn here but I make for a pretty good (un)ethical scientist! The cast is great, the story fun, and @taytayheyheyva.bsky.social 's sound design is brilliant.

I'm finally finishing the edit on an absurd fight scene for @nonormallifepod.bsky.social that we recorded in pieces over months, and LET ME TELL YOU, my decision to start binge listening to @thegrottopod.com last week is making the vocal cut for @taytayheyheyva.bsky.social much weirder/funnier.

I kindly request you pick up a copy of Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue — genuinely a fantastic game and if I won the lottery I’d fund a remaster in a heartbeat

I love The Sound of Music as much as the next guy, but it really feels like Hammerstein was slackin’ on the mnemonic device for “La”

A series of pictures taken at the Kola Superdeep Borehole, a 1970 Soviet research project.

When a drill broke down at around 11,660 metres of depth a special camera was sent in, taking photographs every 50 m. The borehole was sealed and abandoned soon after.

You empty your pockets of loose change as you set down the worn CD-ROM you bought at the thrift store.

Your parents forbid you from playing it back in 1995. Tonight, you'll finally find out why.
