RE: (SEMI) Professional Pursuits - Demo Progress

Obligatory sampler-thingy.

Being sick SUCKS. I've been sick for about 2 weeks now and I'm behind on recording. I wanna audition for Sapphire's Sexy Sound Project 'cause I know she's gonna make my demo sound good, should I be included on her list... The lazy person's way out would be to send in my crap demo and links to projects I voiced for, but she's a good friend of mine and I wanna give her the kind of effort she'd give back to me. Crossing my fingers to get unsick REALLY soon.

RE: (SEMI) Professional Pursuits - Climbing My Way Up!

@@; I HATE namedropping. It's the most abhorrent habit ever to me, but I don't mind pumping names since it's essentially promoting the works of others and, well, I'm pumping folks I'm working with! You can't deny that I've been getting around, mostly on my own and through auditions. That said, I'll be using this statement to segue into--

OMIGAAAWWWDDDD~ I'M SOOOOO CRAZY EXCITED FOR PUZZMOSIS~!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!

Yeah, the game Egoraptor is working on, but it's not so much the potential popularity factor that's exciting me... Good golly, Ego went to EXTREME lengths to direct me in person when I recorded Osma's lines at his house and I feel it's probably the best performance I've done YET! THAT'S what's making me excited! He's a great director~ I learned a LOT! Tomamoto was also very supportive! Afro-Ninja gets a name pump for the hard work too. I got to see some of the animations and pieces of the game work and sketches and and and adssfghgfjsdhaa

I'll ramble more about Puzzmosis when it's released. No leaks from me! HAHA!

And another reason why I'm talking about my voice acting "popularity progress" (ugh, that was disgusting to type out) is... Kinda weird. "Overlooked But Overheard", that's what I am, right? Especially since I've been actively doing this for 2 years (My "anniversary" is February 21st; starting year 3 soon). Well, since that I'm appearing in more and more popular work (typically with little foresight--you never know when something'll become popular, especially with up-and-coming producers), I'm actually getting recognized now. The interesting thing is... I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. Wow, I'm actually getting noticed for once? Neat! It feels nice to have your work recognized! Woohoo! And fewer people are misspelling my name too (just fewer, there're still name-misspellers out there, but I'm not gonna complain)!

What gets to me, however, is... Um... How do I put it... "Uh, I've always been here. NOW you notice me? After being so rude to me?" Yeeeeeaaaahh... Awkward. I don't just mean "popular" people, but my peers who I'm in relatively close contact with--I see 'em on forums, IMing devices, and Facebook. Sure, I suck at initiating conversations (it's a bad habit), but I hate being used. It peeves me when people ask me for networking opportunities and connections when they've never talked to me or taken me seriously. It especially peeves me when they get uncomfortably friendly with me too... It's in the same vein as namedropping. I'm generally friendly and helpful, but I have limits too.

I'm VERY used to people disliking me. Every time I do something, I expect the possibility of being flamed so I can take it with grace. I'm getting the hang of accepting compliments, but it's still new to me and I just dunno what to make of 'em sometimes. Ah well. Friends who've always been friends with me will still always be in my heart and I'm willing to make new friends~

-_-+ ...Under the condition that I'm not their fookin' doormat. /ramble

Art Hunt

The gallery didn't grow TOO much, but you know, it's mostly 'cause the artists are busy with school and life right now~ Good for them with their priorities!

I'm TEMPTED to start a gallery of all the (preferably original) characters I voiced for... You know that character composite collage thing I'm using for my NG picture? There's only so much room inside that box. I've been making it a habit to collect/cut out artwork of a bunch of characters (like an obsessive freak) to show folks "Hey, your speakers may be broken and your headphones might be missing, but look at all the different characters I voice for!" Much like my me-art collection, the characters-I-voiced-for collection is growing too.

It's corny, it's cheesy, and it's dorky, but hey, at least I know so~!

Lots of artists have been very nice in providing me .png's to save me the trouble of cutting up screenshots~ Mucho appreciation from me~<3

O_O; Now, since the characters may sometimes be the artist's representation of a pre-existing character (like parodies)... I include them too, but I wonder... Would it be too crazy of me to collect fanart of original characters I voiced for as well? Maaaaaaybe.


Comments

who cares

;D Someone obviously does if they responded~ I mean, who would bother responding to a blog~?

You write a lot for sure, girl. I was going to stop by just to congratulate your work, but I thought it would be rude to leave a comment without reading the blog.

Well, I can't believe you actually met Egoraptor. o_o It seemed you had a lot of fun and...oh, I don't know what to say...I'm excited to see the result :P You have done this before? 'Cause my excitement would be a waste if you have. xD Or no.
And about misspelling your name, if you're saying your account name, love, you should wait for A LOT more misspelling. I can't even say that word. o_o Sorry, but your name doesn't help either. xD

Not much to say about the relationship issue...these kind of people appear everywhere while you have to look for true friends. It could be good be used to people dislikes (mainly here in NG), just don't take it too seriously...

I'm very happy to see how voice actors have conquered an almost fair space in the portal. One work of yours, LEFT4LOL, sometimes I just watch to hear your acting. I LOVE IT. Congratulations! And the Alice is dead work of Tomamoto is awesome, too. I mean, you all make an amazing work. =]
Looking foward to see more of you!

I hope you get what you want, because you are a really good voice actress. And get better, please :x I mean...of the disease.

I love the title also. Oh, actors. Sooo dramatic. XD

Best of luck!

That's awfully thoughtful of you and I appreciate that!

Getting live direction is very rare for me and when I do get it, it's usually over Skype. It's a real treat to get directed in person and though I've done it before (in studios and classes), I will say that working with Ego was the first time I've ever done a LIVE-IN-PERSON recording session for a prelay project!

As in, I usually get cast in projects where the producer animates to my voice acting (to an extent) and it's ironic how most of my other live-in-person recording sessions had to do with anime, which is dubbing to picture... I technically have more experience acting with few to no limits.

::huggles~:: Haha, yeah, of all screen names I decided on when I was 12 years old, I chose my real name backwards and didn't really think I'd become a voice actress years later. It kinda makes me wish I came up with a different original name, one that's actually pronounceable. I have heard stories where producers couldn't recognize my name by ear but could by reading it: "Oh THAT person with the really weird name!" Hard to pronounce? I bet, but it sure pops out at least!

XD And I intend to get better, both in health and as a voice actress, rest assured!

Thanks for the support!

I hope you get better soon Hnil. Major congrats to joining up with Egoraptor for his project and mega overall congrats for the overall increase in recognition. You're really moving up these days and I'm excited about each new experience during the course of your journey. All the best!

Thankoo Shocky~<3 ::huggles::

^__^ You deserve it...really. You save us from the crappy voice acting :P

Well well, congratulations then. =] I bet it was PRETTY COOL *-* meeting Egoraptor...I follow him since the awesome series...oh I miss it. I wish I could meet you, too. You must be crazy stuff. xD
I wanted to know, have you ever dubbed movies with real actors? Well, I don't know if you understood the question,...I don't know if I'm asking right. o_o

I know that story...I made up my username after one of my favorite characters at that time. :x
Oh...so there IS a pronunciation. I would pay to heard that. xD It's not weird, it's just...different. People don't understand xDD

I'm not worried! You're doing a great job so far and I really think you're way better than a LOT of so-called professional voice actors.
But, oh well, getting better is always welcome. :)

I'll just leave you alone now. x3 'Know you're busy. But I'll be watchin' you and waiting for more works and news. n_n

Take care, girl. :3

As usual wonderful work. Glad to see all of your hard work is paying off. But then again, why wouldnt it?

Congrats and huggles,

Nron, Your Friendly Gashadokuro

Many thanks~ ::hugsh::
