[EDIT]: Daily 2nd and Front Paged! (Nov 17th, 2009)
[EDIT2]: Weekly 4th!
[EDIT3]: 33rd Best of All Time! (Nov 23, 2009)

(AND A CERTAIN DEGREE OF APPREHENSION IF YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LAST PSYCHO CHARLIE BROWN FLASH THAT SHOWED UP ON NG...)

You know how I have a ton of (stupid) personal goals that I want to achieve while achieving more longterm goals (like voicing for a Wrench Wench, for instance) ? One of those goals is to voice for more "feature"-like animations, like hand drawn stuff. I have nothing against tweening, especially when it's done right and well (I "grew up" on the Internet around those kinds of flashes and there's stuff like that on TV nowadays; I ain't a hoity toity purist), but golly, who doesn't want to voice for animations high quality and detailed enough to be seen on TV or as their own movie!

Hm. I guess this goal is harder to explain than I thought.
[EDIT]: I just learned that the term is... FBF or frame-by-frame, right?

Well, I do know for sure that the opportunity to voice for such awesome stuff doesn't come by often. Uber animators don't usually hold auditions for their stuff and if I'm correct, they're more likely to cast people they know or at the very least, cast voiceovers who market themselves directly to them-I tend to be very indirect due to questionable availability and I'm shy to a fault, preferring to be polite and mindful of personal space as opposed to pushy or overly presumptuous.

Hnilmik's AVA Character Demo 2009

Since their animations are so high quality, they take a long while before they're released too (unless the animator has a team or is a super animating machine). There are like 3 other "feature" animations I have roles in, but they're still being animated (tentative release dates are sometime next year) and I got the roles during the summer, or mid-fall in a case or two.

I'm soooooo excited for Hans Van Harken's "The T" animation~

(May I add that I always wanted to voice for a character with a drawn out death sequence? As in, not an instantaneous death? And at the hands of the person he/she likes? Yep, my silly personal goals get THAT creepy-specific. I'm still waiting for the chance to voice for a homicidal, maniacal murderess.)

Anyhow, I'm sure I'll be voicing for more amazing "feature" animations in the near future, especially once my quota-thing is out of the way so I can more actively pursue quality work over the quantity of work. I know for sure that I tend to put student animations high on my voicing priorities. I managed to get on the good side of several indie game developers lately too, so I'll let you guys know when I can talk about their projects.

=P As for interning, I did manage to get ties to a LOT of animation studios, as I said I would. Odds are that you're not gonna hear me in Disney, Warner Bros, Cartoon Network, or Dreamworks things anytime soon, but if I'm gonna have a round-a-bout way of breaking in, that way will allow me to learn all kinds of stuff before I get to my goal~

Yay for detours!

Another boy role (Toon Link). Harharhar, meeting my voicing quota...
